Attachment+2+-+Cost+Proposal.xlsx

This is a cost proposal template for a state and local contract opportunity with the State of North Dakota for the "Days of our Legacy" project, which solicits proposals for Legacy Fund website building and data management services. The template is structured to capture all costs associated with implementing the proposed solution across two primary service categories: Website Development (Category A) and Data Management (Category B). Bidders are required to provide itemized pricing for initial product and software licensing costs, including website development, proposed software licenses supporting a minimum of five users, required third-party software and applications, and hosting setup and initialization fees. The proposal also requires detailed pricing for deliverables based on the scope of work, encompassing project management activities such as kick-off meetings, planning, gap analysis, solution design, interface design, testing management, training, implementation, and project closeout.

The cost proposal template further requires bidders to specify ongoing costs for Years 1 through 5 post-implementation, including software maintenance and support and hosting costs on an annual basis. Bidders must provide a total cost figure that will be used to determine the allocation of cost points during evaluation. The template also includes a section for value-added features and allows bidders to specify an hourly professional services rate if applicable. All costs must be inclusive of all expenses necessary to implement the proposed solution, with bidders instructed to indicate zero costs for any line items with no associated expenses. The template does not contain specified budget amounts, funding sources, set-asides, or award dates, suggesting this is a blank cost proposal form to be completed by respondents.
