About this file

This document is an Amendment 2 to a Request for Qualifications and Quotes (RFQQ) issued by the Washington State Department of Commerce for Growth Management Act (GMA) Research Support. The amended RFQQ revises the requirements for identifying and providing the complete, total cost for all services, including hourly rates and the cost for each proposed deliverable. Respondents must include all costs, including those associated with staff, administration, local travel, and any other applicable fees. The evaluation will be based on the response that best meets the requirements, not necessarily the lowest cost. The contract is for an unspecified number of hours, with the hourly rate not to exceed $200. The contract will be awarded to the respondent whose average hourly rate, when divided by the maximum rate of $200, results in the highest cost score.

The amended RFQQ also provides a list of the state and local jurisdictions that may be included in the project, which includes various counties, cities, and census-designated places across the state of Washington. Respondents are advised that if the project is federally funded, any subcontractors must comply with federal regulations, and subcontractor costs must be clearly identified.

Amendment 2 as of 11/12/2024

RFQQ NO. 25-63110-001

Growth Management Act (GMA) Research Support

Please see the amended information below as it refers to question (10) on the Questions and Answers (1) published 11/7/2024.

3.4.1 Identification of Costs (SCORED)

Has been revised as below (READ ALL):

The quotations section must clearly identify the complete, total cost for all services anticipated under the proposed contract, broken down into an hourly structure. Stating your commitment to stay below the maximum amount in Section 1.4, above, is not acceptable. Failure to clearly identify the complete, total cost may result in disqualification.

In addition to the total cost, the quote must also identify the full cost for each and every proposed deliverable. Must provide an hourly structure, the quote must also identify the number of hours proposed and the cost per hour. In any event, the quote must include the total, complete cost described above.

All quoted costs must be fully inclusive amounts. This includes all costs associated with the particular staff that will be assigned to the project, all administrative costs, all local travel costs, and any other applicable fees necessary for and/or incidental to the performance of the contract. All costs must be included inside hourly cost.

Costs for work to be completed by subcontractors/subgrantees must be separately and clearly identified. Note if any subcontractors are certified by OMWBE or WDVA. If this project is federally funded all subawards must comply with federal regulations. If you plan to subcontract work with federal funds then clearly identify the work intended to be subcontracted and the related cost, but DO NOT select any subcontractors/subgrantees until you have reviewed all state and federal requirements. All subcontractor costs would be included in an hourly format.

The evaluation process is designed to award this procurement not necessarily to the Response of least cost, but rather to the Response which best meets the requirements of this RFQQ. Respondents are encouraged, however, to submit budgets which are consistent with efforts to conserve state resources.

Contractors are required to collect and pay state and federal taxes as applicable.

An average that includes all hourly rates provided will produce an average hourly rate that will be used to calculate the cost score.

3.4.2 COMPUTATION

Has been revised as below:

Average hourly rate will be divided by $200 (max hourly rate for 1,000 hours). The resultant number is then multiplied by the maximum possible points for the cost section.

Example: Bidder average hourly rate (165)/200 (MAX RATE)= .825 * 10 (points for cost) = 8.25 out of 10 possible points.
