This is an Acquisition Price/Cost Proposal attachment for a Ticketing Platform Services contract opportunity in Texas. The proposal document outlines the pricing structure and cost categories that bidders must complete when submitting their offers. The contract encompasses a comprehensive ticketing platform with 15 distinct cost categories spanning implementation, ongoing operations, transaction processing, hardware, and ancillary services. Bidders are required to provide pricing for platform set-up and implementation, ongoing maintenance and support, per-ticket fees across multiple transaction types (credit card, cash, and low-cost tickets), donation processing, bundled packages, ticket exchanges, refunds, chargebacks, and various hardware components including QR code scanners, printing equipment, and payment processing devices.
The pricing proposal requires vendors to establish costs for each of the 15 categories with defined pricing structures applicable to each service line. This cost categorization approach allows the state of Texas to evaluate bids systematically across different service components and transaction types, enabling transparent comparison of vendor proposals and facilitating potential future negotiations on specific service lines. The document serves as the standardized cost submission template that all bidding vendors must complete, ensuring consistency in proposal evaluation and providing clarity regarding the scope of services and associated costs required for the ticketing platform implementation and ongoing operations.
