RFP_26-04_-_Attachment_A,_Cost.xlsx

This is a cost sheet attachment for Request for Proposals 26-04 issued by the City of Bartow, Florida, for utility meter reading services. The City seeks a qualified vendor to provide electric and water meter reading services for approximately 24,000 customers across the City of Bartow's Utilities Service Areas. The contract includes three defined years with estimated monthly quantities of 24,500 reads in Year 1, 24,750 reads in Year 2, and 25,000 reads in Year 3, reflecting a gradual increase in service demand.

Bidders must submit unit pricing per meter read and corresponding monthly and annual costs for each contract year. The cost sheet provides space for vendors to enter their unit price per read, which will be multiplied by the monthly quantity to calculate monthly costs and then annualized for comparison purposes. The contract includes a renewal option beyond the initial three-year term, with provisions for annual rate adjustments to be calculated by applying a percentage adjustment to the Year 4 unit price per read. Specific pricing terms, payment schedules, and other financial details are to be submitted by vendors according to the bid specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.
