Attachment C - Cost Proposal.xlsx

This cost proposal attachment is part of a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 26-84111600-RFP) issued by the Florida Department of Management Services to establish a State Term Contract for Auditing and Related Services. The RFP seeks to establish multiple statewide awards across five service categories: Financial and Accounting Auditing Services, Investigative Auditing Services, Information Technology and Data Compliance Auditing Services, Programmatic and Compliance Auditing Services, and Risk Assessment Auditing Services. Each service category includes both auditing services and audit consulting services. Respondents must submit pricing for all six job titles within any service category they wish to pursue: Principal/Partner, Project Manager, Senior Auditor, Junior Auditor, Administrative Support, and Audit Consultant. The Department reserves the right to award to one or multiple respondents, statewide or by region, or to make no award at its discretion.

Respondents must submit pricing in Excel format only, with hourly rates for both an initial contract term and a renewal term for each job title within selected service categories. All pricing must be provided in U.S. dollars with minimum values of $0.01 and cannot include fractions of cents; pricing must be a single value per cell with no ranges or N/A designations permitted. Respondents must provide pricing for all six job titles in both the initial term and renewal term columns for any service category in which they wish to be considered; failure to provide complete pricing for all job titles within a category will result in that category being deemed non-responsive and not evaluated. The worksheet is locked to prevent unauthorized changes, with fillable areas limited to the respondent name field and the hourly rate columns for each service category. Proposed hourly rates establish the maximum ceiling rates that respondents cannot exceed when providing services under any resulting contract.
