This is a Cost Proposal Workbook (Exhibit D) for RFP No. 608-26-96636 issued by the State of Texas. The document establishes the pricing structure for insert services across four quantity breakpoints. Bidders must submit unit pricing for services involving up to 12 million inserts per work order, greater than 12 million to 24 million inserts, greater than 24 million to 36 million inserts, and greater than 36 million to 48 million inserts. An example pricing table demonstrates the expected cost structure, with maximum unit costs ranging from $0.0076 for the smallest quantity tier to $0.0046 for the largest tier, and corresponding maximum costs per breakpoint ranging from $91,200 to $220,800. Bidders must provide separate unit pricing and maximum costs per breakpoint for both No. 60 White Smooth Offset Paper and No. 70 White Smooth Offset Paper.

All pricing submitted must be inclusive of shipping costs to locations specified elsewhere in the RFP. The cost proposal workbook serves as the template through which bidders will establish their pricing competitiveness across the identified quantity tiers for the paper insert services being procured by the State of Texas.
