5-Attachment C Cost Proposal Form Quantity.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Form (Attachment C) for the Utah Geological Survey's solicitation NC26-3 seeking U-Pb crystallization ages for igneous rocks services. The Utah Division of Purchasing is conducting this procurement on behalf of the Utah Geological Survey's Energy & Mineral Resources division to obtain U-Th-Pb geochronology services for determining crystallization ages of intrusive magmatic rocks. The services include mineral separation, imaging, dating, and technical report preparation with calculated ages for igneous rock samples, with an estimated annual quantity of 50 samples. The contract will be a 5-year term with vendors required to guarantee pricing for one year, and the procurement is expected to result in a single contract award to the highest-scoring responsive and responsible vendor.

The cost proposal form requires vendors to provide fully loaded costs per sample with all expenses included, and cost evaluation will be based on total proposed costs using a point system where the lowest bidder receives 100% of cost points and other bidders receive proportional points based on their price premium. Vendors must complete all yellow-highlighted cells, enter N/A for non-applicable items, and any costs not included in this form will not be permitted in the resulting contract. The form warns that deviations from the specified format may result in disqualification, and the budgeted annual volume of 50 samples is provided for evaluation purposes only and does not guarantee actual order quantities.
