About this file

This document is Price Form Instructions issued by the State of Maryland for IFB 2276 concerning the procurement of heated pantographs. The instructions establish mandatory guidelines for bidders submitting pricing proposals via the specified Price Form, with strict requirements regarding format, completion, and submission to ensure responsiveness and proper evaluation. While the document does not specify quantities, response dates, site visits, or bidders' meetings, it makes clear that all pricing information must be submitted on the unaltered Excel Price Form labeled "Table A - Attachment B - The Price Form, IFB 2276 - Pantographs, Heated.xls" in accordance with these instructions.

All unit and extended prices must be entered in dollars and cents format with clear decimal points and rounded to the nearest cent. Bidders must complete every editable field on the Price Form without amendments, alterations, or blank entries, with any corrections prior to submission requiring initials and dates. All pricing, including labor rates, must be fully loaded to include labor, profit, overhead, general operating, and administrative expenses, as no additional amounts will be paid beyond the submitted prices. Sample amounts used for calculations are typically estimates for evaluation purposes only, and no minimum or maximum usage guarantees apply unless otherwise stated. Failure to adhere to these instructions may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive or not reasonably susceptible for selection for award.

Appendix 2. Price Form Instructions Effective Date: July 2024

Appendix 2. Price Form Instructions

Each Bidder shall submit its response via the Price Form in accordance with the instructions specified herein. Do not alter the Price Form; otherwise, the Bid may be determined to be not responsive, or the Proposal may be determined to be not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award. If the Price Form contains a signature box, it must be signed and dated by an individual who is authorized to bind the Bidder/Offeror to the prices entered on the Price Form.

Follow these instructions carefully when completing your Price Form:

A) All Unit and Extended Prices must be clearly entered in dollars and cents, e.g., $24.15. Make your decimal points clear and distinct.

B) All Unit Prices must be the actual price per unit the State will pay for the specific item or service identified in this IFB and may not be contingent on any other factor or condition in any manner.

C) All calculations shall be rounded to the nearest cent, e.g., .344 shall be .34 and .345 shall be .35.

D) Any goods or services required through this IFB which are proposed to be provided at No Cost to the State must be clearly entered in the Unit Price, if appropriate, and Extended Price with $0.00.

E) Every editable field in the Price Form shall be completed. Any changes or corrections made to the Price Form by the Bidder prior to submission due date shall be initialed and dated, if required, or submitted as a new Price Form via mail. Partial or incomplete Bids will be rejected unless otherwise stated in the solicitation.

F) Except as instructed on the Price Form, nothing shall be entered on or attached to the Price Form that proposes conditions or contingencies on the prices. Conditions may render the Bid not responsive or the Proposal not reasonably susceptible for being selected for award.

G) It is imperative that the prices included on the Price Form have been entered correctly and calculated accurately by the Bidder and that the respective total prices agree with the entries on the Price Form. Any incorrect entries or inaccurate calculations by the Bidder will be treated as provided in COMAR 21.05.02.12 and may cause the Bid to be rejected.

H) All pricing, including labor rates, entered in the Price Form must be fully loaded prices that include all costs/expenses associated with the provision of services required by the IFB. Examples may include all labor, profit/overhead, general operating, administrative, and all other expenses and costs necessary to perform the work set forth in the solicitation. No other amounts will be paid to the Contractor.

J) Unless indicated elsewhere in the IFB, sample amounts used for calculations on the Price Form are typically estimates for evaluation purposes only. Unless stated otherwise in the IFB, a minimum or maximum number of units or usage in the performance of the Contract is not guaranteed.

K) Failure to adhere to any of these instructions may result in the Bid being determined not responsive or the Proposal being determined not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award.
