4-3 AG Legal Services CostProposalForm DEQ.docx

This is a Cost Proposal Form for legal services submitted in response to a Request for Proposal issued by the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Utah to provide civil enforcement legal services to the Department of Environmental Quality. The RFP will result in multiple contract awards through professional service agreements, with successful offerors placed on an eligible vendor list for a five-year period. The cost proposal form requests pricing information organized by staff position, including roles for lead attorneys, senior attorneys, junior attorneys, and paralegals, with corresponding hourly rates to be provided by the offeror.

Vendors must guarantee their pricing for one year from the proposal submission date. The form requires the offeror to submit rates for multiple attorney and paralegal positions, which will serve as the basis for determining compensation under any resulting professional service agreements. Award determinations will be made according to a scoresheet evaluation methodology referenced in the RFP documents. This cost proposal represents a standard component of the competitive procurement process for establishing a panel of qualified legal service providers available to the State of Utah for DEQ civil enforcement matters.
