About this file
This is a cost proposal template (Exhibit H) for Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Services for Case Management Transformation issued by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) under Solicitation Number HHS0016857. The solicitation seeks IV&V services to oversee and assess a major case management system transformation project. The contract structure includes a transition phase, an initial term of three years (36 months), and optional extension terms of up to two additional years (24 months), for a total potential contract period of five years (60 months). Respondents must complete all yellow-highlighted cells in the Excel workbook with all-inclusive unit prices for fixed-fee deliverables and monthly assessment services. Key deliverables include project work plans, readiness assessments, IV&V reports (initial, weekly, and final), monthly executive briefings, and comprehensive assessment reports covering project management, quality assurance, scope management, change management, organizational change management, staffing, security, capacity, performance, training, testing, configuration management, data conversion, database design, and system performance monitoring.
Pricing must be submitted in the original Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx) with no alterations to formulas or structure, with failure to do so resulting in proposal disqualification. The cost proposal includes separate sections for transition costs, operations costs across all contract years, turnover costs (allocated to the final year of the initial term but potentially incurred after extension completion), supplemental services at blended hourly rates, and variable quantity pricing tiers for operations. All-inclusive unit prices must encompass labor, materials, tools, supplies, equipment, personnel, travel expenses, and incidental costs necessary to deliver services according to specifications. The evaluation methodology assigns the highest rating to the lowest-cost proposal, with higher-priced proposals rated proportionally lower using the formula: [1-(total cost-lowest total cost)/highest total cost] × maximum percentage available for cost criterion. DFPS makes no guarantee of volume, usage, or total compensation to Respondents, and quantities provided are for evaluation purposes only. The cost proposal also includes an IT Category Descriptions worksheet detailing available resource roles across multiple technical domains with three experience-level tiers per role.
