Exhibit_2_-_Price_Proposal_Form.xlsx

This is a Price Proposal Form (Exhibit 2) for a state and local contract opportunity (EV00000956) that establishes the cost structure and pricing framework for a comprehensive benefits platform system. The solicitation encompasses three primary service components: a core platform system, an optional consumer-facing portal capability, and support center services including back office processing and mailroom operations. The contract assumes enrollment of 250,000 members annually beginning with the 2028 plan year, with implementation commencing as soon as possible and maintenance and operations beginning following a 90-day hardening phase. The pricing proposal must be submitted in the specified table format with cost entries broken down across 2027 through 2030 (extending to 2031 for support services), with any modifications from Round 1 proposals requiring documented rationale in the Notes column.

The price proposal form requires bidders to provide detailed cost breakdowns organized by specific cost categories within each service component. Platform costs must include project initiation, implementation and training, hardware, software licenses and subscriptions, managed services for platform operations, post-implementation enhancements, and an enhancement pool of 300 hours. The consumer-facing portal and alternative consumer access model pricing must be separately identifiable and not included in base platform totals unless directed otherwise. Support center costs encompass back office processing expenses such as hiring, training, location and technology costs, staffing, and variable technology costs, as well as mailroom operations including postage and staffing expenses. Bidders must provide hourly staff rates for various positions and specify annual cost increases beginning in plan year 2029. All proposals must be submitted in the prescribed table format; failure to do so will result in a non-responsive proposal determination.
