About this file
This is a Price Proposal template for RFP 4200 BRS3011 issued by the City of Austin, Texas, Procurement Specialist Bridney Stewart, for professional state and federal lobbying services. The solicitation seeks qualified individuals or firms to provide legislative lobbying services on behalf of the City. The contract term extends from execution through September 30, 2031, with an initial contract period estimated at approximately two months followed by five one-year contract periods (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2031). The price proposal requires offerors to submit monthly retainer rates for each contract year, with pricing organized into three categories: monthly rates for each contract period, non-specified additional services with hourly rates, and service offerings indicating whether the firm provides state lobbying, federal lobbying, or both.
Offerors must submit a fixed monthly retainer rate with a maximum cap of $14,000.00 per month, which shall remain constant throughout each 12-month period regardless of legislative session status. The monthly rate is inclusive of all fees, administrative costs, overhead, per diem, transportation, travel time, fuel surcharges, mileage, stop fees, and equipment necessary to perform required services; offerors may not charge separately for these items. Offerors must complete all pricing sections without alteration to the submittal sheet, as exceptions may jeopardize acceptance of the offer. A bid of zero will be interpreted as a no-charge item, while "no bid" or blank responses may result in non-responsiveness and disqualification. The City reserves the right to award a single contract or multiple contracts based on criteria deemed most advantageous to the City.

Special Instructions: Offerors should use this Price Proposal to submit pricing.
Be advised that altering the pricing submittal sheet or taking exceptions to any portion of the solicitation may jeopardize acceptance of your Offer.
The City will pay a monthly retainer rate. The monthly rate is expected to stay the same each month, since work is expected 12-months out of the year, regardless if the legislature is in session. The max monthly rate will be $14,000.00 and shall be inclusive of all fees required to successfully complete the Scope of Work. The Offeror shall not charge separately for administrative, overhead, per diem, transportation costs including travel time, fuel surcharges, mileage, stop-fee, etc. or any other fees. The Offeror shall provide all labor, travel, and equipment necessary to perform the services required under this contract.
A bid of "0" (zero) will be interpreted by the City as a no-charge (free) item and the City will not expect to pay for that item. A bid of "no bid" or no response (space left blank) will be interpreted by the City that the Offeror does not wish to bid on that item. Be advised, a "no bid" or no response may be considered as non-responsive and may result in disqualification of your Offer.
The City reserves the right to award a single contract or multiple contracts based on any criteria or combination deemed most advantageous to the City.
