25-0052_Exhibit_B_Cost_and_Price_Forms.pdf

This is a Cost and Price Forms document (Exhibit B) for RFP 25-0052 issued by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for a Zero-Emission Bus Transition Plan Study. The project encompasses four distinct work phases requiring firm-fixed pricing: Project Administration and Management, Stakeholders Engagement, Vehicle and Fueling Technology Assessment, and Draft and Final Reports. Proposing consultant teams must submit separate line-item prices for each phase, with all costs including direct costs, indirect costs, and profits consolidated into a single total firm-fixed price. The form requires acknowledgment of receipt of the RFP and any addenda, specification of the offer validity period (minimum 120 days from proposal date), and authorization signatures from the offeror's designated representative.

The OCTA intends to award a firm-fixed price contract, requiring respondents to provide comprehensive pricing that encompasses all project deliverables within the specified scope of work. The cost proposal submission must be accompanied by company identification information including name, address, telephone, facsimile, and email contact details. All pricing submissions are binding for a minimum of 120 days from the proposal submission date, establishing the timeline within which OCTA may accept or reject proposals and negotiate contract terms with the selected consultant.
