Attachment A.xlsx

This is a price proposal template for the SC Adult and Youth Tobacco Surveys contract, administered by the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH). The scope of work involves conducting tobacco surveys targeting both youth and adult populations across a five-year contract period. The vendor must demonstrate capacity to include middle school students (grades 6-8) but shall not initiate survey activities with this population until receiving written authorization from DPH. The proposal template accommodates separate pricing for middle school (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) youth tobacco surveys (YTS), as well as adult tobacco surveys (ATS), with distinct budget lines for each year of the contract term.

The price proposal requires vendors to submit detailed cost breakdowns across eleven budget categories: salaries and labor rates, fringe benefits, tasks and deliverables, travel, supplies, equipment, space and maintenance, media, subcontracts, other costs, and in-kind contributions. Vendors must complete budget justifications for Years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, with the flexibility to add rows for itemized line items within each category as necessary. The grand total cost across all five years must reflect all costs to the State and represents the evaluated price. The completed cost sheet must be submitted in Excel format as an attachment to the online bidding system. No pricing is specified in the template, indicating that vendors determine costs based on their business models and operational requirements to fulfill the scope of work.
