PRICE SHEET

Q: The revised price sheet added Price Line 28 which is called “Maintenance of Software System Staffing”, how does this price line differ from Price Line 22 “Maintenance of Web and Mobile Applications”?

A: The “Maintenance of Web and Mobile Applications”, Price Line 22, includes the staffing, hardware and application costs. Price Line 28, “Maintenance of Software System Staffing”, represents the staffing costs of all other components of the system.

Q: Which price line should include the labor to maintain the Licensing and Inspections systems, Workforce Registry System and Learning Management System, Quality Rating Improvement System, Grants & Scholarships System?

A: Price Line 28 includes all of these staffing responsibilities.

ATTACHMENT 3

Q: If we assume a DDI and Implementation Period of 18 months -- Sections A and B seem straightforward, however there are 5 years listed under Section C- M&O. A previous answer to Question 66 stated that M&O only begins after implementation and acceptance of the system -- In this case, do you still want us to provide the full 5 years of M&O which would then equate to a 6 1/2 year period (DDI and Implementation = 18 months + 5 Years of M&O).

A: All DDI costs must be included in the DDI portion, and maintenance and operations must be included in the remaining contractual period.

Q: Section B on the Pricing Sheet does not have a row for Implementation of Web Application. It only has a row for Mobile Application. Please Advise.
