Template D – Cost/Contract Requirements
Using the template provided below, Vendors must provide a full and complete response to each of the numbered requirements. General Requirements
for financial information and the Vendor Cost Proposal are located in Section C.5, Cost Proposal.
OSPI intends to contract with a Vendor that meets the State’s requirements and offers the best value, but not necessarily the least cost. This section
identifies the Vendor’s costs and provides a template for Vendors to complete.
OSPI will not be responsible for erroneous, hidden, non-disclosed, or underestimated costs. Prices quoted must remain fixed for the duration of
the initial Agreement executed as a result of this RFP.
Important considerations for the Vendor:



All Vendor costs shall be based on the terms in the RFP, including the model Agreement and Performance Standards. If Vendors propose
changes to the model Agreement or Performance Standards, they will need to include in their proposals the amount that the proposed changes
to the Agreement will modify their costs.
Vendors must not include costs for unplanned or potential changes that may be required by OSPI during the life of the Agreement. These will be
requested by OSPI and costs will be negotiated at the point they arise through the appropriate change control/management process.
Any contract awarded as a result of this procurement is contingent upon the availability of funding.
Vendors must provide their most favorable and competitive cost estimate to perform the work.
Vendors must collect and pay Washington State sales tax, if applicable.

submit proposals that are consistent with state government efforts to conserve state resources.
US Dollars - All prices must be submitted in United States dollars.
Taxes - Vendor must collect and report all applicable state taxes. Vendor must not include taxes on the Cost Requirements
response.

No Requirement to Buy - There is no requirement that the State buy all Software and Services included in Vendor Pricing
Proposal. The State may purchase all or any combination of Software and/or Services included in the Cost Proposal.
Payment Model - The State intends to utilize performance-based, time and materials based, and time and materials with capbased payment models which will be set forth in the Statements of Work made pursuant to this RFP and its subsequent
Contract.
No Charge Products - Where there is no charge or rate for Software, Vendor must enter N/C (no charge) or zero (0) on the
Vendor Pricing Proposal, as applicable. If Vendor fails to provide a price, the State will assume the item is free. If the Vendor
states “no charge” for an item in its Vendor Pricing Proposal, the State will receive that item free for the period represented in
the Vendor Pricing Proposal.
Shipping and Handling Charges - All items are to be quoted FOB destination, Mail stop: 47200, Old Capitol Building, P.O.
Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504-7200. All anticipated shipping costs necessary to meet the delivery schedule must be included

Pricing Protection - For the entire term of the Contract, the Vendor must guarantee to provide the Software and Services at
the rates proposed in its Vendor Pricing Proposal. Pricing cannot increase during any term of the Contract.
Price Decrease Guarantee - The ASV, at its discretion, may elect to provide Software and Services specified in this RFP at a
lower price than originally quoted at any time during the term of the Contract. If the Manufacturer’s suggested retail price
decreases at any time during the term of the Contract, Vendor must pass on the decrease for all subsequent purchases. The
decrease must be proportionate to the percentage decrease of the Manufacturer’s suggested retail price.
Extended Warranty - Vendor shall include a description of extended warranty options and all associated pricing.

At the sole discretion of OSPI, Vendor requested modifications to the Sample Agreements (Main Document, Section F) may be grounds
for disqualification from further consideration in the award of this contract.
Vendors may, however, propose revisions to the Sample Agreements (Main Document, Section F) terminology for clarification and
procedural purposes, and/or revisions based upon specific elements of their proposed solution. In no event is a Vendor to submit its own
standard contract terms and conditions as a proposal to this requirement. Vendor’s new and/or modified agreement paragraphs are the
only terms that will be subject to discussion during contract negotiation. OSPI reserves the right to open other paragraphs for discussion
and only OSPI can exercise this right. The agreed-upon contract is subject to approval by State authorities.
The Vendor must utilize the Sample Agreements as the basis for all proposed revisions. The Vendor’s response must:
1. Identify and provide all proposed changes to the Sample Agreements (Main Document, Section F), if any, and include proposed
added, modified and/or deleted terms and conditions, using the Sample Agreements Modification Matrix. Vendors must copy the
language they are proposing to revise into the Sample Agreement Modification Matrix and use the automatic revision (track
changes) feature of Microsoft Word 2007 or later, to add, modify or delete language. Vendors must provide only those sections
or paragraphs (Sample Agreement page numbers and section numbers must be indicated) being proposed for addition,
modification and/or deletion by the Vendor.
2. Vendors must explain (in the Sample Agreements Modification Matrix) any and all proposed contract changes and any resulting
cost and/or price reductions.
Vendors must clearly state (in the Sample Agreement Modification Matrix) they agree with the Sample Agreements if no changes are
proposed.
