2-ATTACHMENT B- Form of Proposal.docx

This document is a proposal form attachment for an as-needed consulting services RFP issued by AHA (a public housing authority) in California. Proposers must submit hourly rates for one or more of nine service areas: Risk Management and Insurance, Asset Management, Fair Housing, Moving to Work (MTW), Organizational Consulting and Executive Coaching, Housing Choice Voucher Program and Other PHA-Related Consulting, Procurement Consulting, Tax Credit and Other Financial Application Services, and Housing Development Consulting. Each proposer must demonstrate expertise in the areas for which they bid and provide hourly fees for all five years of the potential contract term. AHA intends to establish a pool of qualified consultants from which it will assign work on an as-needed basis based on expertise, experience, pricing, and availability. Bidders with experience serving government agencies or nonprofit PHAs in California, or those with equivalent relevant experience, are preferred. All bidders handling tenant or employee personally identifiable information must carry cyber liability insurance with costs incorporated into their fee proposals.

The proposal form requires all-inclusive hourly pricing that encompasses sales tax, employee wages and benefits, clerical support, overhead, profit, licensing, insurance, materials, supplies, tools, equipment, and all other related costs necessary to provide the services. Proposers must complete the form with their firm's staff names, positions, and corresponding hourly rates across each year of the contract term, and must indicate which service areas the firm provides. "No Proposal" responses are not permitted for any item, though "No Charge" entries are allowed. Travel expenses must be separately listed per Attachment F. The form requires the proposer's signature, company name, contact information, business address, and phone and email details for submission with the completed proposal package.
