This is a Cost Proposal Form for RFP 758 2000000126 issued by the Kentucky Retirement Systems for services related to the management and administration of CERS (County Employees Retirement System) ballots and associated call center support. The RFP requests cost estimates for initial set-up and implementation of services, call center support operations, tabulation and certification of CERS ballots, and destruction of CERS ballots. Bidders must provide pricing based on the quantities and specifications outlined in RFP Section 50.6, with cost estimates broken down by specific activity categories as referenced in the detailed RFP sections.

The proposal form requires vendors to submit pricing on both a total activity cost basis and a per-unit cost basis. Per-unit pricing must be provided for electronic ballots and paper ballots with reply envelopes, with postage to be billed separately at actual cost incurred with applicable USPS discounts applied. Additionally, vendors must submit a fully-loaded hourly rate not to exceed a specified amount, which will be used for any customizations or enhancements outside the original scope of work. Travel and other expenses are not reimbursable under this rate structure. All cost estimates must reference the specific line items and sections detailed in RFP Section 50.6 to ensure accuracy and compliance with the procurement requirements.
