About this file

This is a Cost Proposal form (Exhibit J) for the Maven Registries Maintenance & Operations (M&O) solicitation (HHS0017000) issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The solicitation encompasses three primary phases: Phase I (Transition), Phase II (Registry Operations), and Phase III (Turnover). The initial contract term spans 36 months (Year 1: 12 months, Year 2: 12 months, Year 3: 12 months) with an optional extension term of 10 months (Year 4), for a total potential contract period of 46 months. Phase I requires development of draft and final transition project work plans. Phase II involves ongoing maintenance and operations of three registries: Birth Defect Registry (BDR), Blood Lead Registry (BLR), and HIV/STD Integrated System (THISIS), with supplemental services and maintenance service level options (Metal Plans). Phase III includes turnover deliverables comprising a turnover plan, final results report, and inventory list. Respondents must complete all yellow-highlighted cells in the cost proposal workbook and submit the file in its original Microsoft Excel format without modifications, alterations, or conversions to PDF.

Respondents must provide all-inclusive blended hourly rates or fixed fees that encompass labor, materials, tools, supplies, equipment, and all associated costs necessary to deliver services according to solicitation specifications. The cost proposal evaluation follows an objective cost criterion formula wherein the lowest total cost receives the highest rating, with higher-cost proposals rated proportionally lower based on the formula: [1-(total cost-lowest total cost)/highest total cost] × maximum percentage available. The System Agency makes no guarantee of volume, usage, or total compensation and retains discretion to select Metal Plans based on maintenance requirements. Optional extension term costs are included for evaluation purposes only, though the actual compensation is based on the Metal Plan ultimately selected. Respondents may propose supplemental services using DIR (Department of Information Resources) Not-to-Exceed rate cards for staff positions, with pricing subject to reasonableness evaluation and potential amendment if work falls outside priced deliverables. The cost proposal also includes an IT Category Descriptions section requiring respondents to accept or reject standardized position roles across multiple categories (applications/software development, data/database administration, web development, quality assurance, networking/telecommunications, and security) or propose alternative positions, with experience levels differentiated by years of service and degree of required judgment.

Comment:

Per prior cost proposal and SOW, fixed monthly fee is the UOM. However, supplemental services in SOW refers to 160 hours per month. Should UOM and quantity be 160 hours per month instead of fixed monthly fee?

Reply:

No supplemental services in this procurement, instead will use the DIR NTE Rate Card where Respondents enter rates for staff and those will be evaluated for reasonableness by evaluators and there will be amendments if work is needed outside of priced deliverables to add the additional services done by the staff priced in CP.12$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00$0.00=Quantity x Price
