Schedule B Pricing.xlsx

This is a Schedule B Pricing document for a Request for Proposal issued by the State of Michigan, Department 171, for Brush Chippers, Stump Grinders and Related Forestry Equipment (RFP No. 180000003190). Bidders are required to submit pricing schedules in modifiable Microsoft Excel format for both purchase and rental options of forestry equipment across 13 Michigan prosperity regions. The pricing structure requires contractors to provide quotes for an 18-inch drum type brush chipper and a stump grinder, with the option to add catalog pricing for additional equipment as needed. Evaluation of purchase pricing is based on 13 single purchases (one per prosperity region) plus delivery costs and 13 hours of training, while rental pricing is evaluated on a combination of daily, weekly, and monthly rental rates across all 13 regions, with delivery and pickup costs calculated for each transaction (39 total rental transactions).

Contractors must include all costs in their pricing proposals, including one-time charges, setup fees, shipping, handling, and palletizing. Price quotes must specify equipment make and model, hourly training rates, and delivery costs either as per-mile rates from the nearest dealer location or as lump sum costs per region. Contractors may offer quick payment discount terms and multi-unit discounts for additional equipment purchases. Delivery and pickup mileage is calculated one-way from the contractor's nearest dealer to the estimated central location of each prosperity region. All price proposals must certify independent pricing without consultation or agreement with other contractors, and contractors are encouraged to provide competitive payment terms to expedite state payment processing.
