About this file
This is a Cost Response attachment for a Request for Response (RFR) issued by Massachusetts Health Connector for culturally and linguistically appropriate services, including readability and usability support. The document serves as the pricing template that bidders must complete to submit cost proposals for a four-year contract with two optional one-year renewal periods. The contract encompasses multiple service categories including translation services (per-word pricing across multiple languages), hourly services (standard and expedited turnaround), accessibility and compliance services, and optional enrollment and premium billing services for small group members with medical and dental coverage. Bidders are required to submit pricing for Years 1-4 of the agreement, with detailed assumptions and constraints clearly documented in their responses.
The pricing structure requires bidders to select from multiple models for ongoing operations, including per-subscriber-per-month (PSPM), per-member-per-month (PMPM), transaction-based pricing, or fixed annual fees. Start-up and transition costs must be itemized with position titles, hourly rates, and estimated hours required. Bidders must provide a detailed cost allocation breakdown across major cost categories including labor, licensing, infrastructure, hosting, operations and maintenance, and other costs. The contract permits a maximum three percent annual rate increase for optional years, indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). A rate card identifying specific positions such as project managers, systems engineers, software engineers, and database administrators with corresponding hourly rates for operations launch and ongoing years is required. All pricing assumptions must remain flat for Years 1-3 of ongoing operations, with proposed pass-through costs clearly identified and explained.

For ongoing operations years 1-3, rates shall remain flat. If option years are awarded to the Contractor by the Health Connector, a maximum rate increase of 3% each year is allowed but will be based on the CPI index.
Will need to define CPI index or whatever we are using to determine COLA.

| 100,001-150,000 | is the payment $3 for each of the first 100K members and only $2 for those members over 100K or….. | ||||||||||
| 150,001-200,000 | is it $2 for ALL members now?? I would prefer this option as it quickly results in significant economies of scale. | ||||||||||

| Blended Total | Do we need a table(s) for dental only members? Wouldn't the PMPM or fee be different given that operationally these members require fewer resources? Will nongroup dental be serviced by this vendor? I think so right? |
