CSU Response: See CSU response to question number 38 above.

42. Pricing model / contract economics – reconcile firm-fixed-price language with invoicing language

1. The RFP states the contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price and instructs monthly invoicing for “total net cost of operations… and management fee.” Please clarify the intended payment model and reconcile these two statements.

CSU Response: RFP Page 25. Section V.L1. xxiv. States the following.

“Submit invoices at the end of each calendar month to CSU for Operator’s total net cost of operations, accounting for all revenues received, costs incurred, and Operator’s services or management fee.”

Delete this sentence in its entirety and replace it with the following:

Submit invoices at the end of each calendar month to BSU for the firm-fixed-price paid by CSU for the meal plans (board) only.

This is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. Therefore, there are no monthly invoices for total net cost of operations, or management fee. The Contractor will be paid for the meal plans (board) only.

2. Is CSU intending:

a) firm-fixed-price paid by CSU for the meal plan program only (board), while retail/catering/concessions operate as contractor revenue streams subject to commission/revenue share;

CSU Response: It is the intent of CSU to establish a firm-fixed-price contract paid by CSU for the meal plan program (board) only, while retail/catering/concessions operate as contractor revenue streams subject to guaranteed commission/revenue share.

Commission reporting period must align with CSU reporting periods.

All transactions must go through CSU POS for catering (all other sales typically already do).

b) a managed-fee / cost-reconciliation model where CSU pays actual net costs plus a management fee;

CSU does not acknowledge the terms managed-fee / cost-reconciliation model. They are not associated in any way with this solicitation. As stated in the RFP on page 23.

paragraph F. Contract Type, this is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.

c) a hybrid? If hybrid, please specify which components fall under each model.

CSU does not acknowledge the term hybrid. It is not associated in any way with this solicitation. As stated in the RFP on page 23. paragraph F. Contract Type, this is a Firm- Fixed-Price contract.

3. If firm-fixed-price is intended for meal plans: is the “fixed price charged to CSU for meal plans” an annual aggregate amount, a per-student/per-plan rate, or another structure? How should offerors reflect this in the financial tables?

CSU Response: A firm-fixed-price is intended for the meal plans and is to be charged to CSU based on a per-student/per-plan rate.

4. If CSU expects cost reporting for transparency only (not reimbursement), please confirm what CSU pays monthly and how “net cost of operations” reporting is used (and confirm it does not change the firm-fixed-price nature, if applicable).

CSU Response: It is the intent of CSU to establish a firm-fixed-price contract paid by CSU for the meal plan program (board) only. Therefore, there is no requirement for cost reporting.

5. Please confirm whether the meal plan “fixed price” is the only “not-to-exceed” component, or whether any other services (retail, catering, concessions, conference feeding) are treated as not-to-exceed or reimbursable.

CSU Response: CSU does not acknowledge the terms “not-to-exceed” or “reimbursable.” They are not associated in any way with this solicitation. As stated in the RFP on page 23. paragraph F. Contract Type, This is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.

43. Revenue share / commissions – definitions and inclusions

1. Please define “gross sales/retail sales” used for commission calculations and confirm what is included/excluded (tax, discounts, meal plan tender redemptions, dining dollars/flex, third-party delivery, vending, catering, concessions, conference feeding).

CSU Response: Gross sales are defined as the all-inclusive purchase price charged to customers at campus retail venues, concessions, and catered events.

2. Please confirm whether commission percentages may vary by tender type (cash vs credit/debit vs dining dollars) or are expected to be uniform.

CSU Response: Commission percentages are to be uniform regardless of tender type.

3. Please confirm that commission will only be required to be paid on actual revenues and are not tied to any guaranteed dollar commissions that must be paid annually by the vendor.

CSU Response: Commissions are to be paid to CSU based on the actual annual total revenues generated from combined retail sales, catering, and concessions. Multiply the total revenue amount times the guaranteed commission rate in Tables three and four of the Financial Proposal to determine the guaranteed dollar amount of commissions to be paid to CSU.

Guaranteed Commission percentage amounts are to be consistent in each of years 1-5 of the base term contract.

44. Bonds and insurance (requirements and acceptability)

1. Please provide the full list of required insurance coverages and minimum limits, including liquor liability (where applicable), and CSU’s additional insured/waiver requirements (if any).
