About this file

This is a cost proposal document for Application Managed Services (AMS) submitted to the Rhode Island Division of Enterprise Technology Strategy and Services (ETSS) within the Department of Administration in response to RFP27006832. The proposal covers managed application services for state-operated applications across three service areas: Low Code applications (Salesforce and Workday), Mainframe and Legacy systems (COBOL and Oracle), and infrastructure support. The contract period runs approximately three years beginning January 1, 2027, with optional renewal periods of up to two additional 24-month terms contingent on vendor performance and fund availability. Proposals were due August 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT, with a vendor Q&A period running from July 14, 2026 through July 27, 2026. The proposal allocation includes a total staffing model of 20 full-time equivalents distributed across four onsite leads, four onshore developers, and twelve offshore developers.

The three-year cost proposal totals $24,418,336 for fixed price and time and materials services combined, with an estimated contingency reserve of $2,312,750 (10 percent), bringing the total with contingency to $26,731,086. Pricing is structured as fixed annual fees for known applications ($4,790,000 in Year 1) combined with time and materials rate cards for additional work, with hourly rates ranging from $55 to $195 depending on role and location (onsite leads at $185-$195, onshore developers at $135-$145, and offshore developers at $55-$60). The proposal includes a 3 percent annual escalation factor applied across all years. The State reserves the right to award based on cost alone and to withhold a 0.33 percent contract administrative fee from all invoices. Required insurance includes general liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, professional liability of $2,000,000, technology errors and omissions of $5,000,000, and umbrella liability of $1,000,000. Minority and women-owned business enterprise participation is required throughout contract performance.
