Copy of Amended and Restated Attachment B_Cost Response Template.xlsx

This document is an Attachment B Cost Response Template for the COVID-19 Strategic Testing Expansion Program (STEP) RFR issued by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS). The RFR solicits applications from eligible bidders to serve as specimen collection and test resulting providers for the STEP program. The initial contract term is anticipated to run until December 31, 2020, with possible extensions up to 18 additional months. The Cost Response Template provides instructions for completing the required pricing information, including anticipated project revenues, costs for personnel, supplies, and infrastructure, and a proposed rate structure based on site size and test volume. Bidders are required to provide detailed descriptions for all non-personnel costs. The proposed rate structure provides benchmark rates per test based on site size, with a minimum monthly payment for authorized sites.

The pricing terms indicate that EOHHS will provide an overhead payment in addition to test-based reimbursements from insurers. Bidders are required to list the codes they expect to bill and the anticipated reimbursement rates and test volumes for each. The template also includes placeholders for various cost categories that bidders can customize as needed. Bidders may add an "Other Costs" table if necessary. This RFR is being issued on a rolling basis, and applications will be considered on an ongoing basis.
