Indiana Department of Administration
Cost Proposal(Attachment D)
The Cost Baseline shall be the aggregate of the cost of all products set forth in the Cost Proposal/Essentials list of Attachment D. There shallbe special scoring based on volume discounts, and other incentives. The State is expecting Respondent’s company to offer its lowest net price, or wholesale cost, for all items in the Essentials List. Respondents are required to price ninety-five percent (95%) of Essentials List products in all of the categories. The State may disqualify the bidder this requirement is not met. Please follow the specific set of instructions on each tab of Attachment D for completing your company’s price proposal. The baseline is $23,344,973.22 for a two (2) year contract. The evaluation on cost will be as follows: Cost of all essentials products on Attachment D x quantity requested = Total, with the volume discount offered factored in as an adjustment to reach the final total for a two year term. The State is also looking for volume purchase discounts from a Vendor. The State is looking for a sliding scale on the volume purchase discounts. The targets are four percent (4%) on annual purchases of $6,000,000, seven percent (7%) on annual purchases of $8,000,000 and nine percent (9%) on $10,000,000 per year. This would be on all purchases from the Vendor. Respondent’s cost proposal shall accordingly include the Respondent’s proposed costs relative to the cost of the products set forth in the Cost Proposal/ Essentials List, Attachment D and the volume discounts it is offering on purchases (annually). Any cost proposal shall include, as set forth in Section 2.4.22 of the Technical Proposal, Commissary in the value of $350,000 a year, which shall account for a consolidation of all rebates offered by product manufacturers. However, the $350,000 for rebates shall not be included in the volume discount proposed
