Att D - Cost Proposal-ILEARN I AM IREAD - rtp.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal form for RFP 26-86999 issued by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to secure a contractor to develop, administer, score, and report three statewide assessments: ILEARN, IREAD, and I AM. The contract covers a six-year initial period spanning school years 2027-2028 through 2032-2033, with the possibility of a one-year extension upon mutual agreement. Respondents must provide all-inclusive pricing for assessment administration across multiple grade levels and content areas, with estimated test volumes including approximately 83,000 students per grade for ILEARN assessments, 152,000-207,000 for IREAD assessments, and 900 students for I AM assessments. The cost proposal must account for all services including assessment development, form and item development, testing administration, technology deployment, scoring, reporting, and program management across all three assessment systems.

Pricing must be submitted on a per-assessment fee basis for each of the six contract years, with all costs required to be all-inclusive and non-negotiable after submission. The IDOE expects cost proposals to reflect a cost structure based on the number of assessments actually administered, though respondents should plan for the specified quantities for budget purposes. Respondents must populate only the yellow-shaded cells in the cost proposal and may not alter formatting, add caveats, or modify any other content, as non-compliance may result in cost score disqualification. The Total Assessment Fee amount calculated from submitted fees will be used to determine minority and women business enterprise (M/WBE) subcontractor commitment percentages. No additional costs beyond those submitted in the proposal will be accepted by the department.
