Attachment_E_Cost_Proposal.xlsx

This is a cost proposal attachment for business process mapping services being procured by San Bernardino County, California. The proposal template requires vendors to provide detailed cost estimates across six primary service areas: review and validation of the County's Enterprise Value Chain and Oracle Fusion alignment (Level 0-1), sub-process development including ownership models and governance (Level 2), detailed swim-lane process flow development with methodology coaching (Level 3), methodology guidance and templates for task-level work instructions (Level 4), current-state documentation review and gap analysis (Current-State Documentation), and development of a comprehensive process governance framework. The project is structured in four sequential phases—Mobilization, Discovery, Development, and Closeout/Transition—with specific deliverables and acceptance criteria required for payment progression.

Proposers must submit pricing on an hourly rate basis with lump-sum pricing explicitly prohibited. The cost proposal consists of three reconciling sections: cost breakdown by process architecture level, cost breakdown by resource and rate (with separate hour allocations for mobilization, discovery, development, and closeout phases), and cost breakdown by project phase with corresponding payment milestones. Travel costs are subject to a not-to-exceed cap and must comply with GSA Federal per diem rates applicable to San Bernardino County, including economy-class airfare only, lodging, meals and incidentals, and ground transportation. All three cost sections must balance to a single grand total, and payments must be tied to deliverable acceptance milestones rather than calendar dates, with vendors required to specify the percentage of total contract value associated with each phase.
