F._BBB_OBVSS_Cost_Proposal.xlsx

This is a cost proposal template for the City of Santa Monica Department of Transportation's request for proposals to supply and install an Onboard Bus Video Surveillance System (OBVSS) for the Big Blue Bus fleet. The solicitation seeks a turnkey solution encompassing design, equipment, installation, integration, maintenance, and warranty services to replace and modernize the existing surveillance system. Proposers must provide itemized pricing across nine cost categories: onboard equipment for standard buses, onboard equipment for articulated buses, central system hardware and software, project implementation services, spare parts, optional non-revenue vehicle camera systems, camera replacement unit pricing, recurring costs, and optional equipment and services. The template requires vendors to include manufacturer part numbers where applicable and to specify installation labor separately from equipment costs, with total installed costs per vehicle clearly identified.

The cost proposal requires separate pricing for each contract year across a five-year evaluation period, with Category H detailing recurring costs such as software subscriptions, cloud hosting, cellular/data services, software maintenance, technical support, and extended warranty coverage. The Base Proposal Total comprises the sum of Categories A through E (onboard equipment for both bus types, central system hardware/software, implementation services, and spare parts), while Categories F (optional non-revenue vehicle systems), G (camera replacement unit pricing), and I (optional equipment and services) are excluded from the base total and represent non-guaranteed purchases. The template specifies that required items under the technical specifications cannot be shifted to optional pricing, and proposer-recommended spares beyond required quantities must be clearly separated and not included in the Base Proposal Total unless specifically directed by SMDOT.
