Exhibit B – Price Sheet

Pest Control Services for IDJC

This Exhibit B - Price Sheet must be completed and submitted as part of your quote.

Your price(s) must be fully burdened to include all costs associated with providing pest control services meeting the requirements specified in Exhibit A – Scope of Work, for each JCC under the Contract(s). All prices must be single dollar amounts, not ranges.

For evaluation purposes, in this Exhibit B - Price Sheet IDJC sets forth Scenarios that essentially identify each JCC’s current pest control needs for one (1) year. The Vendor must enter a Total for each JCC for which it is submitting a quote based on the JCC’s Scenario. Additionally, the Vendor must itemize all pricing used for each Total entered, which is the pricing that it must use for the first one (1) year term of the Contract(s) for the service needs described in the Scenario. The itemization must be in sufficient detail so that IDJC can understand what it will be charged if the Vendor is awarded a Contract.

(The Total for each JCC and the Total Price are for evaluation purposes only. Contract usage will be based on each JCC’s needs, and so IDJC makes no guarantees as to the amount of services it will order under the Contract.)

PLEASE also attach descriptions of all other pest control services you provide that we have not factored in the Scenario(s) and identify the pricing for those services. Each JCC may choose to use some of those services, all of those services or none of them. This pricing will not be factored in the evaluation.
