DRS RFP 26-03 Attachment A - Fee Schedule_.xlsx

This is a cost proposal attachment for the Washington Department of Revenue's (DRS) RFP 26-03 regarding IRS E-File Tax Reporting Support. The solicitation addresses the IRS transition from the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system to the Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) system. DRS will migrate to the new IRIS portal in 2028; however, DRS' current system output cannot accommodate IRIS' required Application to Application (A2A) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) format needed for bulk filing of large volumes of information returns in 2027. The RFP requests bidders to provide support services to bridge this technical gap during the interim period.

Bidders must submit a cost proposal using the provided fee schedule format, which requires declaration of an all-inclusive fee structure covering implementation fees (if applicable), annual operating costs, per-file or per-submission fees, and any other operational costs with descriptions. The all-inclusive fee definition specifies that the fee shall encompass all administrative expenses, travel, costs of doing business, telephone conferences, and federal, state, and local taxes. Bidders are responsible for calculating the additional time required for any revisions and corrections within the proposed inclusive fee, with no additional charges permitted.
