Appendix 2-Price Form Instructions

This document provides pricing submission instructions for Maryland's Request for Proposal (RFP) for Real Estate Brokerage, Transaction Management, and Strategic Planning Services. The price form instructions establish the framework for how proposers must submit their financial proposals, ensuring standardized formatting and clarity across all bids. Proposers are required to complete the designated price form with detailed cost breakdowns for the services outlined in the RFP, including brokerage services, transaction management, and strategic planning activities. The instructions specify which line items must be completed, how costs should be itemized by service category, and any required supporting documentation or justification for proposed fees and rates.

The pricing submission requirements establish clear guidelines for cost structure, including requirements for hourly rates, transaction fees, commission percentages, or other applicable pricing mechanisms depending on the service category. The instructions detail how proposers should present pricing for the contract term and any optional renewal periods, ensuring transparent cost comparison among competing bidders. Proposers must adhere to the specified format and include all mandatory fields to ensure their proposals receive full evaluation consideration. Any pricing deviations from the standardized form or incomplete submissions may result in proposal rejection or deemed non-responsive, making strict adherence to these instructions critical for bid acceptance.

Appendix 2. Price Form Instructions Effective Date: July 2024

Appendix 2. Price Form Instructions

Each /Offeror shall submit its response via the Price Form in accordance with the instructions specified herein. Do not alter the Price Form; otherwise, the Proposal may be determined to be not responsive or the Proposal may be determined to be not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award. If the Price Form contains a signature box, it must be signed and dated by an individual who is authorized to bind the Offeror to the prices entered on the Price Form.

Follow these instructions carefully when completing your Price Form:

A) All Unit and Extended Prices must be clearly entered in dollars and cents, e.g., $24.15. Make your decimal points clear and distinct.

B) All Unit Prices must be the actual price per unit the State will pay for the specific item or service identified in this RFP and may not be contingent on any other factor or condition in any manner.

C) All calculations shall be rounded to the nearest cent, e.g., .344 shall be .34 and .345 shall be .35.

D) Any goods or services required through this RFP which are proposed to be provided at No Cost to the State must be clearly entered in the Unit Price, if appropriate, and Extended Price with $0.00.

E) Every editable field in the Price Form shall be completed. Any changes or corrections made to the Price Form by the Offeror prior to submission due date shall be initialed and dated, if required, or submitted as a new Price Form through eMMA. Partial or incomplete Proposals will be rejected unless otherwise stated in the solicitation.

F) Except as instructed on the Price Form, nothing shall be entered on or attached to the Price Form that proposes conditions or contingencies on the prices. Conditions may render the Proposal not responsive or the Proposal not reasonably susceptible for being selected for award.

G) It is imperative that the prices included on the Price Form have been entered correctly and calculated accurately by the Offeror and that the respective total prices agree with the entries on the Price Form. Any incorrect entries or inaccurate calculations by the Offeror will be treated as provided in COMAR 21.05.02.12 and may cause the Proposal to be rejected.

H) All pricing, including labor rates, entered in the Price Form must be fully loaded prices that include all costs/expenses associated with the provision of services required by the RFP. Examples may include all labor, profit/overhead, general operating, administrative, and all other expenses and costs necessary to perform the work set forth in the solicitation. No other amounts will be paid to the Contractor.

J) Unless indicated elsewhere in the RFP, sample amounts used for calculations on the Price Form are typically estimates for evaluation purposes only. Unless stated otherwise in the RFP, a minimum or maximum number of units or usage in the performance of the Contract is not guaranteed.

K) Failure to adhere to any of these instructions may result in the Proposal being determined not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award.
