each firm and individual. The consultant shall also identify its teams members
that will be working on each of the tasks within the scope of services.
9. Qualifications
The Consultant should briefly provide information showing the qualifications of
the Consultant to conduct this work. Qualifications are to be given for both the
firm as well as individuals selected to perform the work. Qualifications shall also
be provided for any subcontractors that would perform work under this proposal.
10. Conflicts of Interest
The Consultant should identify any actual or perceived conflicts of interests
relative to the firms or individuals that would be involved in the work effort, the
basis for those conflicts, the potential consequence of those conflicts, and how the
Consultant proposes to handle those conflicts.
11. Costs
The Consultant is to provide the cost proposal in a summary table in separate
sealed envelopes. The cost information will not be opened for review until after
the proposals have been reviewed and a Consultant selected or a "short list" of
potential Consultants selected for further consideration. Cost information shall be
provided in a format similar to that shown on the Attached Exhibit C and shall be
broken down for each Work Task identified in Exhibit B, and ideally should be
broken down further into subtasks to permit State representatives and other
reviewers to adequately analyze the proposal and its costs. Cost information
contained in the proposal may be considered in making the final selection, and
will serve as a basis from which the States will negotiate the final terms of the
contract.
In the sealed cost envelopes, the Consultant shall also provide their hourly rate
and reimbursable expense schedules. It is anticipated that the contract will be
based on hourly rates and reimbursable expenses with a maximum contract
amount that cannot be exceeded without prior written consent of the State
representatives.
If the Consultant is proposing scope alterations, as per item 6 above, additional
cost proposals should be provided to address the effects of the scope alterations
on the proposed cost. These additional cost proposals should be in the same
format as the cost proposal addressing the Work Tasks in Exhibit B to facilitate
cost comparisons by those evaluating the proposals.
