Att D - Cost Proposal with target rate.xlsx

This cost proposal form is associated with a negotiated bid solicitation issued by the State of Indiana Department of Natural Resources for the custom design and construction of a single 51-ton capacity lowboy semi-trailer. The procurement, numbered 26-87614, requires respondents to submit unit pricing for all line items on the provided Excel workbook, with delivery included to DNR Fire Headquarters in Martinsville, Indiana. The trailer must conform to detailed specifications outlined in Attachment H, including a double-drop deck configuration with a 32-foot by 8.5-foot payload area, three axles with a removable rear axle, hydraulic support cylinder, heavy-duty front ramps, removable outriggers, tie-down lash rings, LED lighting with amber strobes, and secured storage compartments. Proposals must be received by May 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, with an award recommendation target date of May 22, 2026. This is a one-time purchase contract with firm pricing that must remain open for a minimum of 180 days from the award date.

All pricing must be all-inclusive of shipping, freight, delivery, and destination fees, with no additional charges permitted after award. The State has established a targeted rate of $85,000 for this procurement; any proposed price exceeding this amount requires written justification from the bidder. Respondents must submit a working Excel file with their bid, along with a quote on company letterhead matching the total bid amount and listing proposed specifications. Subcontracting goals have been established at 8% for Minority Business Enterprises, 11% for Women Business Enterprises, and 3% for Indiana Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, though failure to meet these goals will not impact proposal evaluation. The State intends to award to the lowest bidder meeting all required specifications. Mandatory submission requirements include an executive summary, the Indiana Economic Impact Form, the completed cost proposal, and an Attestation Form confirming that the bidder has not had any State contract terminated or cancelled within the previous two calendar years due to failure to deliver products or services timely and in accordance with contract terms.
