This is a Cost Worksheet template for IFB 38414 Electronic Verification Services, issued by the California Department of General Services, Procurement Division on behalf of the California Department of Public Health. The solicitation requests pricing for electronic verification authentication services related to vital records certificates, specifically for birth certificates, death certificates, and marriage certificates provided on a per data file basis. The worksheet is structured to capture pricing across a mandatory three-year contract term with optional extensions for Years 4 and 5, with line items for each certificate type in each year. Bidders are required to complete only the yellow input cells designated for list price/rate, contract discount percentage, and unit cost/rate calculations, with extension costs and totals automatically calculated by the spreadsheet.

Pricing must be fully burdened and include all operating expenses, labor, equipment costs, supplies, overhead, annual inflation costs, profit margins, taxes, and shipping. The fees submitted on the Cost Worksheet must remain in effect throughout the entire contract term with no adjustments permitted. The worksheet calculates totals for Years 1, 2, and 3 separately, then optional totals for Years 4 and 5, culminating in an evaluated total across all years. Bidders are explicitly prohibited from modifying the Cost Worksheet template, with any modifications resulting in disqualification. The file serves as a standardized pricing mechanism to ensure consistent evaluation of all competitive bids submitted for this electronic verification services contract.
