6-Attachment D - Cost Sheet.xlsx

This cost sheet attachment is part of an RFP issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Utah Insurance Department to procure license examination services. The contract will encompass facilities, equipment, and processing to administer license examinations for insurance producers, consultants, and adjusters; acquire and transmit candidate fingerprints; and transmit examination results and license application information to the state's data processing vendor, Vertafore. The contract term is five years, and the state requires vendors to guarantee their pricing for the entire contract duration.

The cost sheet requires offerors to submit total costs across three distinct cost categories: Single Examination Fee, Combination Examination Fee, and Fingerprint Processing Fee. These three categories will be weighted equally with 50 points each for a total of 150 cost evaluation points. The offeror submitting the lowest proposed total cost in each category receives 50 points, while competing offerors receive points on a sliding scale based on their cost relative to the lowest bid; offerors whose proposed costs exceed 200 percent of the lowest cost receive zero points. The spreadsheet also requires itemized fee information for informational purposes only, including individual exam fees for various producer, consultant, and adjuster license types. All yellow-highlighted cells must be completed with actual costs to be charged to candidates, and any deviation from the required format may result in proposal disqualification. Offerors must enter "N/A" for any fees that are not applicable rather than leaving cells blank or entering zero.
