Exhibit_9_-_Additional_Services_Cost_Proposal.docx

This is a cost proposal exhibit for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority Employees Group Insurance Division (EGID) Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) services contract, managed through the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) Central Purchasing division. The RFP solicits responses from qualified vendors to provide comprehensive PBM services including pharmacy claims adjudication, customer service, reporting, and related services. The contract structure supports multiple years of service delivery, with provisions for cost variations as services are added or removed during contract execution. Bidders must identify critical team components, including the Account Manager, Strategic Account Manager, and Senior Account Director who will support service delivery.

Pricing for this contract must be submitted as fixed proposed costs for each separate service offering, with a comprehensive "not to exceed" amount calculated by aggregating all individual service costs across the contract term. The cost proposal must encompass all expenses including salaries, benefits, indirect costs, insurance, travel, lodging, office expenses, and other project-related costs, with no additional costs permitted beyond the fixed proposed amount. The contract structure permits annual cost variation, recognizing that certain activities such as PBM contract renewal and procurement activities occur on a one-time basis rather than recurring annually. Bidders must complete the cost proposal form for the first year and provide cost projections for years two through five, allowing flexibility in service delivery and associated expenses throughout the contract period.
