Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA)
The legal structure of the prospective contractor's organization is to be provided as it
relates to providing and achieving SIPA's objectives and commitments. If the
prospective contractor's organization has not yet been formed, provide a brief description
of the proposed structure and underlying agreements.
A prospective contractor is required to submit proposed itemized cost element
breakdowns for items described in this RFP under a separately bound cover. All charges
and costs are to be included in the cost sheet. All price quotations shall be valid for at
least 120 days from the date of proposal receipt by SIPA.
The cost element breakdown supporting the above requirements for the prospective
contractor, partners, and all sub contractors shall be prepared in the following format:
Direct labor
Rate
Hours
Fringe benefits
Overhead
Other Direct Costs
Partners/ Sub contractors
A
B
C
Total Partners and Subcontract
Subtotal
G&A
Total Cost
Fee
Total Cost Plus Fee
Cost of Money
The prospective contractor must provide detailed supporting information concerning the
costing methodology of the components of the respective line items. For instance, if
management time is part of Direct Costs, then the estimated number of hours for each
individual is to be specified. The prospective contractor's proposal must clearly identify
the accounting practice under which company management and other support effort is
costed. Direct labor costs are to be unburdened. If G&A only is applied to the
prospective contractor's costs and not to third party costs, this is to be stipulated. If there
are different fee rates whether SIPA or the contractor funds a task order, this is to be
identified.
There are to be two costed and priced projects in the Commercial Proposal, one for the
prospective contractor's project solution and the other for the Infrastructure solution.
