About this file
This document is Price Form Instructions guidance issued by the State of Maryland for solicitation AGY-24-023-SR regarding Transit Business, Organization and Program Development. The instructions establish mandatory requirements for bidders and offerors when completing and submitting pricing information through the designated Price Form. All pricing submissions must be completed in the specified format without alterations, with all unit and extended prices clearly entered in dollars and cents. The document indicates that labor rate offers require fully loaded hourly rates for each of the three base contract years, with hours provided as estimates for evaluation purposes only, and that actual hours will be based on need during contract performance. Offerors must submit pricing for all option years if included in the solicitation, and failure to complete all editable fields or adhere to submission requirements may result in rejection of the bid or proposal as non-responsive or not reasonably susceptible for award selection.
All pricing submitted must be fully loaded and include all costs associated with service delivery, including labor, profit, overhead, general operating expenses, and administrative costs, with no additional compensation available beyond the submitted Price Form amounts. Bidders must ensure accurate calculations rounded to the nearest cent, with any goods or services provided at no cost to the State clearly marked as $0.00. Any corrections or changes to the Price Form prior to submission must be initialed and dated or resubmitted as a new form through eMMA. The instructions specify that sample amounts and estimated hours used for evaluation purposes do not guarantee minimum or maximum units of service, and all pricing is contingent only upon the specifications and requirements detailed in the IFB/RFP, with no conditional pricing or contingencies permitted.

Appendix 2. Price Form Instructions
Each Bidder/Offeror 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/RFP 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/RFP 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/Offeror prior to submission due date shall be initialed and dated, if required, or submitted as a new Price Form through eMMA. Partial or incomplete Bids/Proposals 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/Offeror and that the respective total prices agree with the entries on the Price Form. Any incorrect entries or inaccurate calculations by the Bidder/Offeror will be treated as provided in COMAR 21.05.02.12 and may cause the Bid/Proposal 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/RFP. 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/RFP, sample amounts used for calculations on the Price Form are typically estimates for evaluation purposes only. Unless stated otherwise in the IFB/RFP, 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.
The Financial Proposal Form shall contain all price information in the format specified on these pages.
Complete the Financial Proposal Form only as provided in the Financial Proposal Instructions. Do not amend, alter or leave blank any items on the Financial Proposal Form. If option years are included, Offerors must submit pricing for each option year. Failure to adhere to any of these instructions may result in the Proposal being determined not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award.
Labor Rate Offers: Each Offeror must quote fully loaded hourly rates for each of the three Base Contract years. Extend the cost for each appropriate column and sub-total each year at the bottom where provided
Appendix 2. Price Form Instructions Effective Date: July 2024 and provide a Grand Total in the last column. Hours are estimates for evaluation purposes only; actual hours will be based on need. The estimated cost for each year is the sum of the estimated hours times the hourly rate for each staff position.
