25CRF009_-_Bid_Rate_Sheet.xlsm

This is a Rate Sheet for a solicitation (Number 25CRF009) issued by the California Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically focused on procuring Speech Language Pathologist services. The document outlines an estimated contract term with two service categories: Speech Language Pathologist I (3,125 estimated hours) and Speech Language Pathologist II (6,275 estimated hours). The rate sheet is mandatory for bidder submission and will become part of the agreement's Exhibit B-1, with the total contract amount to be determined by the proposed hourly rates.

The rate sheet requires bidders to specify hourly rates for each service category, with a clear stipulation that failure to indicate a dollar amount for any item will be interpreted as the proposer offering that item at no cost. The State explicitly notes that there are no guaranteed service volumes and that actual requirements may change based on the Home's needs. The rates quoted by the successful bidder will remain binding for the entire contract term. The solicitation mandates that the rate sheet must be signed and returned via email in accordance with the provided instructions, with the basis of award to be determined by the lowest responsible bid.
