2-MWJ2603-Section 7 - 7.9-Cost Proposal-FINAL.xlsx

This is a cost proposal template for City Colleges of Chicago RFP #MWJ2603 for employment screening services, with proposals due March 30, 2026, by 12:00 PM CST. The City Colleges of Chicago is soliciting vendors to provide employment screening, pre-employment drug testing, and post-employment fitness for duty services. The RFP requires vendors to submit itemized pricing for multiple service categories including background checks, employment verifications, educational verifications, adverse action notifications, drug screening, and Oracle Taleo integration. Five packaged service options are specified: Employee Package, Work Study/Student Employee Package, Volunteer Package, Credit Package, and Motor Vehicle Package. Each package includes components such as criminal records searches covering 7 years from Social Security Number traces, national criminal record database checks, employment history verification covering 10 years, educational verification, and Social Security Number traces. Drug screening services include 5 and 9 panel screenings with confirmation testing, breath alcohol tests, and medical review officer consultation for positive results.

The cost proposal requires vendors to provide both standard and discounted volume pricing for all itemized services and packaged offerings. Vendors must maintain the exact format and layout of the cost proposal template without alterations to avoid exclusion from consideration. The document indicates that City Colleges of Chicago has no specific international countries currently identified for pricing purposes but requests vendors provide pricing for their top 10 countries. Vendors must also clearly identify all value-added services included at no additional cost, such as training and system setup. The RFP emphasizes Oracle Taleo integration as a required system capability for service delivery.
