Attachment A - Cost Proposal Workbook, DQ 2026000520.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Workbook attachment for the State of Colorado's Governor's Office of Information Technology, specifically for Documented Quote (DQ) EGBA 2026000520 regarding CBMS (Colorado Benefits Management System) Audit Services. The solicitation requires vendors to complete a comprehensive SOC 1 Type II audit of the CBMS/PEAK system, with deliverables including an Audit Plan, Readiness Assessment Report, Draft SOC 1 Type II Audit Report, and Final SOC 1 Type II Audit Report. Target completion dates for each deliverable are to be determined by the vendor. The workbook requires vendors to provide firm fixed prices for each required deliverable and to detail estimated vendor hours for completion of the audit work.

Vendors must submit all-inclusive pricing that encompasses labor, travel, overhead, and incidental expenses through two mandatory worksheets: Deliverables Pricing and Professional Services. The Professional Services section requires vendors to propose key personnel including a Project Lead, IT Security/Controls Subject Matter Expert, and optional Quality Assurance Lead and Senior SOC 1/SSAE 18 Auditor, with specific hourly billing rates and total estimated hours for each role. Vendors may add additional specialized staff roles as needed. The workbook provides a cost summary that automatically calculates total proposed costs from the detailed worksheets, with all pricing presented as firm fixed-price proposals. Monthly performance standards and periodic status reports are required as ongoing deliverables throughout the engagement.
