Financial Response Form.xlsx

This is a Financial Response Form prepared by the New York State Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) for Invitation for Bid (IFB) C000992, which seeks proposals for hosting services supporting the New York State Liquor Authority's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (SLA/ABC) Wholesale Platform. The platform manages critical regulatory functions including wholesale price postings, brand appointment letters, limited availability item submissions, and delinquent retail payment management for a user base exceeding 50,000 licensed wholesalers, manufacturers, retailers, and members of the public. The solution must support monthly price filing requirements for licensed manufacturers and wholesalers and facilitate mandatory delinquency notifications for retailers overdue on payment obligations.

The Financial Response Form requires bidders to submit fixed costs for eight implementation deliverables (Project Plan and Schedule, System Architecture and Software Design, Mandatory System Requirements and Functionality, Testing, Training, Production Readiness, Go-Live, and Post-Go-Live Support) and monthly recurring service costs for Platform, Hosting, Maintenance, and Software Support across a five-year contract term with two optional one-year extension periods. Contract Year 1 is estimated at four months, while Contract Years 2 through 5 and optional extension years are each estimated at 12 months. The form automatically calculates total implementation deliverable costs, total recurring services costs, and total bid cost through pre-filled formulas. Bidders must enter pricing only in designated yellow-highlighted fields; any alterations to other fields may result in proposal disqualification. The procurement includes SDVOB and MWBE contracting goals of 6.00% and 30.00%, respectively.
