Att D - Cost Proposal 26-87614.xlsx

This is a cost proposal form for a negotiated bid procurement (26-87614) involving the State's acquisition of a custom trailer. The procurement requires respondents to bid on two line items, each for one custom trailer unit, with pricing submitted on a unit basis. All proposed pricing must be all-inclusive, incorporating shipping, freight, delivery, and destination fees, with no additional charges permitted following award. Respondents must complete the yellow-shaded cells in the provided Excel workbook, confirm compliance with specification requirements outlined in Attachment H, and submit a working Excel file with their bid. A quote on company letterhead detailing the proposed specifications and matching the total bid amount must accompany the submission. The State has established a targeted rate for this procurement, and any proposed prices exceeding the targeted rate require written justification from the bidder.

The State intends to award to the lowest bidder meeting all required specifications. Respondents must respond affirmatively to all minimum specification requirements or provide explanations for any non-compliance, with failure to respond potentially resulting in bid disqualification. The total bid amount from the cost proposal form must be used to complete the MBE/WBE Subcontractor Commitment Form, IVOSB Subcontractor Commitment Form, and Indiana Economic Impact Form. The successful respondent will be required to contact each property to schedule delivery location and timing. Bids submitted without a working Excel file copy may be deemed unresponsive and subject to disqualification.
