FM_UB_ATT_10_Cost.xlsx

This is a cost proposal template attachment for the City of Fort Myers, Florida's Request for Proposals for professional implementation services of a Utility Billing System (UBS) to support the city's water, wastewater, and solid waste utility operations. The template is structured to capture all project and ongoing costs across a five-year contract period, organized into four primary cost categories: SaaS software fees, professional services, other fees, and hosting or managed services costs. The document includes detailed schedules for vendors to itemize software products with access limitations and quantities, professional service deliverables across project phases (including project planning, knowledge transfer, process analysis, system design, system build, testing, training, and closure), and a milestone payment schedule with associated retainage percentages to be applied over the contract term.

The cost proposal template currently displays zero values across all line items, indicating this is a blank template awaiting vendor completion. The document accommodates multiple cost scenarios through a "Scope Option #2" designation, allowing vendors to propose alternative approaches. The payment schedule section provides space for up to 17 milestone payments over the five-year period, with retainage calculation fields and cumulative retainage tracking. A final line item for project close and acceptance is included to capture remaining payments upon contract completion. All travel costs are required to be included within the professional services fees, with vendors responsible for specifying payment terms, retainage percentages, and delivery schedules aligned with project phases and milestones.
