All one-time and recurring costs should be clearly noted as such. Pricing must include the Industrial Funding Adjustment (“IFA”) (see Section 11 of the VITA Standard Contract) and eVA fees. VITA will not be liable for any fees or charges for the Service/Solution that are not set forth in this Excel Pricing Schedule workbook.
