Attachment B ROM Workbook for RFI 25-IC0054

This is a Rate of Markup (ROM) workbook attachment for the State of California's Request for Information (RFI 25-IC0054) concerning online payment and applications for licensing. The workbook is designed to facilitate cost estimation for IT staffing resources required to support the development and implementation of an online payment and licensing applications system. The document provides a standardized template for respondents to input hourly rates, quantities, and percentage allocations across a two-year project period with an optional additional year. The workbook includes predefined IT resource categories such as Project Manager, Business Analyst, Operations Lead, Training roles, Programmer/Developers, Quality Assurance personnel, Security Specialists, and various technical and consulting positions. Respondents are instructed to customize the resource list by deleting, modifying, or adding roles as necessary to reflect their proposed staffing approach.

The workbook assumes an average of 1,800 billable hours annually per resource (within a standard range of 1,600 to 1,900 hours) and requires vendors to document any adjustments to billable hours and their assumptions. All cost fields display placeholder values, indicating this is a blank template for vendors to complete with their specific pricing. The structure accommodates Year 1, Year 2, and optional project phases, allowing flexibility for phased implementations or extended engagements. This ROM tool serves as a standardized mechanism for the State of California to compare anticipated labor costs and resource requirements across multiple vendor responses to support informed procurement decisions for the licensing and payment system initiative.
