Attachment_A_-_Pricing.xlsx

This is a pricing attachment for a state and local contract opportunity issued by Pierce County, Washington, for an Elections Ballot Sorting System to be used by the Auditor's Office. The document requires proposers to provide a detailed, firm, fixed price breakdown for a ballot mail sorting system with four primary cost categories: hardware, software, implementation, and other costs. The pricing structure includes both one-time costs and five-year operation and maintenance costs, with Year 1 representing a warranty period at no cost to the County. Proposers must complete all applicable pricing pages using only the designated blue cells, and incomplete submissions will be evaluated accordingly.

The pricing submission requires itemized breakdowns across multiple implementation components including project management, detailed system design, software modification and customization, business process re-engineering, reports, installation, go-live support, systems integration, end-user training, super-user training, technical training, documentation, and contingency costs. Proposers must address whether minor and major version releases are included in annual support costs and provide details on available enhancements beyond the baseline solution. Additionally, proposers shall provide trade-in credits for Pierce County's current sorter and inserter equipment that will be removed during installation, and must submit pricing for multiple acquisition mechanisms including purchase, lease, lease-to-own, or other arrangements that serve the County's interests. All prices exclude sales tax and must be stated as firm, fixed amounts.
