ATTACHMENT C: PRICE PROPOSAL WORKBOOK.xlsx

This is a Price Proposal Workbook for the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) Gifted & Talented Solution, which requests vendors to provide comprehensive pricing for an application software solution supporting gifted and talented programs. The workbook requires vendors to submit detailed line item fees organized across multiple cost categories, including one-time implementation, setup, and conversion fees; one-time and ongoing training fees; ongoing variable and fixed fees; contract uplift fees; and optional fees. Vendors must list all assumptions and ensure that submitted pricing is inclusive of all associated costs and expenses. The workbook structure indicates that pricing should be provided on a per-unit or per-month basis where applicable, allowing for detailed cost transparency across implementation and operational phases.

The pricing proposal requires vendors to itemize all costs within the designated categories, with the South Carolina Department of Education reserving the right to audit submitted pricing. The workbook template provides space for vendors to detail costs across multiple line items within each fee category, with subtotals calculated for each section and a total cost calculation at the bottom. All fields in the provided version are populated with zeros, indicating this is a blank template for vendor completion. The structured format ensures standardized pricing submissions that facilitate comparison across vendors and enable the state to understand the total cost of ownership for the gifted and talented application software solution.
