Att D - RFP Cost Proposal BRFSS v2.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Attachment for RFP 27-88018 issued by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) for Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data collection services. The RFP seeks proposals to conduct approximately 10,000 completed surveys annually, consisting of approximately 1,000 landline telephone interviews and 9,000 cellular telephone interviews, with surveys stratified across Indiana's 10 administrative districts and including a minority oversample. The survey instrument includes CDC core questions, state-added questions, and module questions with a total survey length of approximately 27 minutes, administered in both English and Spanish from January through December. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewals available at the State's discretion. The RFP also includes provisions for potential modifications to the base survey, including dual/split questionnaires, additional survey minutes, and increased survey completion volumes (500 or 1,000 additional completes). Proposals were due October 28, 2026, by 3:00 PM ET, with a pre-proposal conference held on September 30, 2026.

Respondents must complete the Cost Proposal workbook by populating yellow-shaded cells with proposed costs in the format requested, incorporating all elements that factor into costs such as staffing, training, CATI programming, and travel. The cost form provides the State's best estimates for the initial contract year and is not considered a guarantee of actual service volumes; actual usage may vary. Pricing should be all-inclusive and reflect one year of survey data collection, with projected pricing for four additional optional years provided separately. If costs are expected to increase after the initial contract term, respondents must indicate anticipated increases per year in the Cost Assumptions, Conditions, and Constraints PDF. The cost evaluation will be based on the total cost for the initial first year, and the Cost Proposal must be submitted in the original Excel format without any format manipulations, PDF attachments, or pricing deviations that could jeopardize the proposal's validity.
