Attachment B - Cost Proposal.xlsx

This document is a Cost Proposal Attachment B for a Request for Proposal (RFP #11142024MC) issued by the University of Utah Health for trash can liners. The RFP seeks to establish a contract with a qualified vendor to supply 17 different types of can liners, including white, clear, bio-waste, healthcare, and recycling liners, with varying specifications such as thickness, size, and color. The proposal covers a potential three-year contract term, with vendors required to provide case costs for each liner type based on projected monthly usage of 12 months per year. The pricing will be scored competitively, with the lowest proposal receiving 100% of price points, and other proposals receiving proportional points based on their price relative to the lowest bid.

The cost proposal form requires vendors to fill in yellow-highlighted fields with precise numeric values, with strict instructions that leaving cells blank or using non-numeric entries may result in a non-responsive proposal. The projected usage and costs are noted as being for scoring calculation purposes only and not representing actual operational totals. The scoring methodology is designed to incentivize competitive pricing, with proposals more than double the lowest price receiving zero points. Vendors are instructed to provide the closest matching product specifications if they cannot exactly match the requested liner dimensions and characteristics, ensuring flexibility in the bidding process while maintaining core specification requirements.
