Cost Proposal Template for Music Therapy Services

This is a cost proposal template document issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for Solicitation No. HHS0016728 regarding Music Therapy Services for the Blind Children's Vocational Discovery and Development Program (BCVDDP). The template is designed for respondents to submit pricing for music therapy services across four regional service areas: Central (Regions 7 & 8), North (Regions 3 & 4), South (Regions 5, 6 & 11), and West (Regions 1, 2, 9 & 10). The cost proposal requires pricing for individual services (60 hours annually), assessments (160 per year), and group sessions in four categories based on participant size (2-5, 6-10, 11-16, and 17-20 participants), along with virtual services and optional in-home sessions. The contract structure includes an initial two-year term followed by optional extension periods totaling three additional years, with pricing provided for years one through five. The template includes separate worksheets for transition costs, operations in each service area, turnover services, and supplemental services. Respondents must submit the cost proposal in the original Microsoft Excel workbook format with active formulas intact, and failure to provide pricing where required may result in the service being provided at no cost or proposal disqualification.

The cost proposal evaluates pricing on an all-inclusive unit price basis, with the lowest total cost receiving the highest rating for cost evaluation criteria according to the formula: [1-(total cost-lowest total cost)/highest total cost] x maximum percentage available. All-inclusive unit prices must encompass labor, materials, tools, supplies, equipment, personnel, and travel expenses associated with service delivery. The template notes that quantity estimates are based on historical utilization for evaluation purposes only, with HHSC making no guarantee of volume, usage, or total compensation to respondents. Optional extension term costs are included in the cost proposal for evaluation purposes only, and actual compensation will be based on real utilization. Turnover costs are allocated to the final year of the initial contract term but may not be incurred until completion of any optional extension term. The document contains detailed instructions prohibiting edits to the Excel structure, formulas, or format, with submission in alternative formats or edited versions potentially resulting in respondent disqualification. Any pricing exceptions must be documented in a separate exceptions document submitted with the proposal.
