ATTACHMENT B - Cost Proposal Form - RFP 758 2600000154 KCNA Wholesale Services.xlsx

This is a Cost Proposal Form (Attachment B) for RFP 758 2600000154 issued by the Kentucky Communications Network Authority (KCNA) for Wholesale Services. The solicitation seeks vendor proposals for the provision of Dark Fiber Services and Lit Fiber Services on a wholesale basis. The contract term spans ten years, with Year 1 representing the initial contract period followed by Years 2-10 as optional renewal periods. Vendors are required to submit pricing proposals covering the entire ten-year period to allow for comprehensive evaluation of costs across the contract duration.

Vendors must complete the Cost Proposal Form by providing three key pricing components: a total minimum lump sum payment per year to KCNA, a revenue share percentage for Dark Fiber Services based on gross revenue, and a revenue share percentage for Lit Fiber Services based on gross revenue. All pricing must be submitted tax-exempt, excluding Federal Excise Tax and Kentucky Sales or Use Tax. The proposal structure requires vendors to specify costs for each of the ten contract years, enabling KCNA to evaluate pricing consistency and trends over the contract period. This dual-component pricing model—combining fixed annual payments with variable revenue-sharing arrangements—allows flexibility in how vendors structure their financial proposals for fiber services delivery.
