RFI 26-85125 Cost Proposal.xlsx

This document is a Cost Proposal template for a Request for Information (RFI) 26-85125, likely related to a state government's plan for a Governor's Council on People with Disabilities (GCPD) for a one-year contract period. The template requires respondents to complete yellow-shaded cells with pricing details for specific project components, including project management oversight, stakeholder engagement, data collection and analysis, goal and objective development, communication strategy, state plan drafting, evaluation framework design, final presentation, and travel/miscellaneous expenses. Respondents are instructed not to alter cell formatting or add pricing caveats to avoid potential disqualification.

The cost proposal requires comprehensive pricing for eight distinct project components, with the total bid amount serving as the primary evaluation metric. The pricing structure demands all-inclusive rates, with the state explicitly stating that no additional costs beyond the submitted proposal will be accepted. The document emphasizes that a completed cost proposal is a mandatory component of a responsive proposal, and the evaluation will be based on the one-year term's total bid amount. While the current template shows zero-dollar placeholders, it is designed for potential contractors to input their specific hourly rates and estimated costs for each project component.
