Overview / Key Messages High-Level Assumptions General Guidance Pricing Workbook Structure Tab by Tab Information and Demos
Overview / Key Messages
The City requires insight with granularity to understand how the Contractor will execute the Program with resources over time. Therefore this Pricing Workbook has been developed with the ability to
provide a significant amount of detail and flexibility to tailor to a Proposer’s approach.
The City expects each Proposer to dedicate sufficient time, effort, and care in filling out the pricing workbook to meet the City's high expectations.
The City will assess completeness and reasonableness of Labor Categories, hours per task, number of tasks, costs, etc. to perform all the work required in the RFP. The understanding each Proposer conveys in filling out the pricing workbook
will enable the City to gain confidence in each Proposer. Proposer is responsible to supply adequate labor to achieve a July
2021 cutover
Result
When the Pricing Workbook is successfully completed by the proposer, it will have generated: List of all labor categories and Proposer’s labor rates used in the
proposal A basic project schedule Labor and duration for all major tasks included Labor, duration, and finish date for all major deliverables
A basic Non Recurring Cost (NRC) in the form of Bill of materials per site
The Monthly Recurring Cost for SW licenses and 3rd party HW maintenance
NRC and MRC for WAN links MRC and proposed labor for Operational Support Phase of the
project Automatic Summary/rollup tabs for NRC and MRC
High-Level Assumptions
All labor and costs utilized for the Project will be captured and priced in the pricing workbook
Proposers must use a final cutover date of July 2021 as immovable; tasks before this may be varied as best planned by the Proposer
40-hour workweeks are assumed unless specifically noted otherwise
Fee is already included in the labor rate Fee is already included in the cost of hardware, software, licenses,
etc. Labor rate proposal before operational cutover planned for 2021 is
the average rate across those years before cutover Operational labor is escalated by the “Inflation” tab
General Guidance and Instructions
Do not wait until the last minute to fill out the workbook! Read the RFP carefully and identify all tasks and deliverables to
guide populating the workbook Read all instructions in various tabs before entering data Do not delete any formulae / break links Include any costs not captured elsewhere in the “Misc” tab Every major task that the Proposer expects to perform must be
included as a task in the “Labor Estimates” tab Every deliverable called out in the RFP must include the required
labor in the “Labor Estimates” tab Verify that both rollup tabs (NRC and MRC) for final costs
accurately capture the Proposer’s full costs
Pricing Workbook Tabs
Pricing Workbook Tabs General Instructions Proposer Info Labor Categories and Rates Instruction for Labor Estimates Labor Estimates Inflation – Future Cost of Money Operational Labor Estimates HW – SW BOM NRC & MRC Misc ESInet-Core WAN Links Options Total NRC Cost Rollup Total MRC 5 year Cost Rollup
One Pricing Volume for Each Class proposal Submitted
Class 1: NG9-1-1 ESInet and Core Services Detailed requirements in Section III.D.3
Class 2: NG9-1-1 Logging and Recording (L&R) Detailed requirements in Section III.D.5
Class 3: NG9-1-1 Geographic Information System (GIS) Detailed requirements in Section III.D.4
Be sure you have the right pricing volume:
General and Proposer Information (Tabs 1 & 2)
Each Proposer shall submit one Pricing Workbook (Excel spreadsheet) for each scope of work they intend to propose.
Proposer shall fill in the "Proposer Info" tab, following instructions in column A in that tab.
Labor Categories and Rates with Demo
Provide a list of roles, descriptions, rates, and experience levels Utilize any, all, or none of the pre-populated categories provided below. Update each entry in Labor Category / Role, Hourly Labor Rate, Category Description, Education, and Experience,
to match your proposal needs to fulfill tasks in other tabs. Delete any unused Labor Category / Role rows. Change rows P1-12 to include any new and/or missing labor categories. Add additional rows if necessary. Because inflation has not been applied to the labor costs in the "Labor Estimates" tab, Hourly Labor Rates should
be the average labor rates per Labor Category over the project duration, thereby accounting for inflation over the appropriate time period.
Labor Categories and Rates Example (Scenario for Demo Purposes Only)
This tab defines the Proposer’s labor categories with descriptions, experience, education, and rates
The City requires a title, rate, description, etc for each labor entry which is then used in the “Labor Estimates” tab
Proposer must update all fields on this tab - not optional Show links to the “Labor Estimates” tab
Labor categories on this tab become a dropdown
Labor costs auto populate on the labor rate from this tab Demonstrations
Update roles description, Experience Add new labor category
Note: standard GSA examples are included, extracted from: https://www.gsa.gov/portal/mediaId/204979/fileName/VETS_Attach_2_LaborCategories.action
Labor rates before cutover should reflect an average until operational cutover
Operational Labor rates (after cutover) should be priced in 2017 dollars, and will be adjusted for inflation in the appropriate tabs
Do to the above distinction between operational and non-operational labor The labor categories should be distinct between phases Do no use an operational category for a non-operational task
Labor Estimates Tab – Layout and Color Coding
The Labor Estimates tab is color coded: Labor added is in this pink shade
Tasks are in green with yellow boards:
Phases are in purple and subphases in blue:
*Do not delete the phases and sub-phases; they are used in final pricing tabs
Project and System Engineering Phases(see RFP pg. 17-21)
RFP Phases: Negotiation Phase Project Initiation Phase Design Phase Build and Configure Phase Subsystem Test Phases Integration, Test, Migration Phases System Level Test Phase User Acceptance Test Phase User Training Phase Operational Cutover Operational Support Phase
Many Phases have subphases Example the Design Phase
Task Based Price estimation is done by Phase and Subphase
Labor Estimates – Filtering on Phase and “purple”
Major program phases and subphases are already in place – don’t delete them. They are used by the rollup tabs
Labor Estimates – Filtering on Phase and Subphase
Labor Estimates Tab is automatically linked to the NRC Cost Rollup Tab
NRC Rollup tab shown at right
Do not delete the Subphase and phase subtotals or you will break the connections to the NRC rollup tab!
Labor Estimates Tab –Overview
Double click in column A to add lines (labor, tasks, subphases, phases) Your optional WBS can be added in column A
Tasks and labor categories are displayed in column B Use the drop down box to change the labor category
Add any comments in column C Don’t change the Categories in Column D – they are auto populated Don’t change Labor rates on this sheet - use the “Labor Categories and
Rates” tab
Labor Estimates Tab –Schedule Across the TopUsed to labor add hours
Row 15 shows out-years by week number Row 16 shows the actual date for the start of each week Row 17 shows the Phases of the project
Labor Estimates Tab – Calendar Overview
Labor Estimates Tab – Weeks / Phases
RFP States: Operational cutover no later than July 31, 2021 (RFP page 4) Project Start Dec 2018
Row 16 and 17 are guidance only Proposer can move phase/subphase boundary’s in row 17 at will as
long as the operational cutover occurs before July 31, 2021 Current Pricing Workbook needs two adjustments to this tab:
Fix start date to Dec 3, 2018 (currently March 2019) In row 16 type in Dec 3 for week 1, and Dec 10 for second week, select both
and drag to end In row 17 reduce project SIT Test Phase duration to 5 weeks
Labor Estimates Tab - Adding Labor
Labor can be included and priced in 2 ways: Ongoing Labor This section is optional Use this manner labor categories that will support the project for the entire
duration, e.g. project management office is one example shown Enter the same number of hours for each week of the project duration, e.g. for
the PMO shown, the PM, Scheduler, and QA are shown working 5,960 hours When these resources are shown performing tasks, select the labor category of
“Ongoing Labor Resource” The rate for this labor category will then show up as $0.0 since the cost rollup is
already captured in the rollup for Ongoing Labor
On a per task basis Enter the task, populate each labor category needed to perform that task, and
populate the labor hours per labor category used per week in the columns corresponding to the scheduled weeks (columns CY to IQ)
Tasks and Labor – City Review
Please note in the Comment column for any special information or circumstances If a particular Labor Category shows 120 hours for a given week,
the City will assume it is 3 individuals working full time Use the comments field to clarify the number of individual utilized
The City will be reviewing the tasks, the labor types, and the number of hours assigned to each labor category to perform that task, given the nature of the task if the hours are reasonable If the labor categories are reasonable If the time allotted is reasonable If all tasks and deliverables are called out and consistent with the
RFP
Labor Estimates - Examples / Demos
Add tasks with hours
Add labor Change labor type Show how labor rate changes and corresponds to labor categories an rate sheet
Add hours to task Delete task Delete labor – multiple lines Check that the roll up costs at the bottom the page reflect your intent
Labor Estimates - Checking the Sums for Tasks, Subphases, and Phases
After many changes and additions the workbook rollup may begin to exhibit errors unless checked
After the addition of new lines for labor, tasks, subphases, and phases Check to see that the automatic sums capture all pricing lines Tasks, subphases, and phases are correct
Click on the summing line and check to see that all the appropriate lines are included This is best explained through demonstration
Labor Estimates Tab - Important
• If new subphases or phases are added to these sheet corresponding summary lines must be included on the NRC cost Rollup tab
• The Proposer is responsible for ensuring that the no task, subphase, or phase summary cells have been broken and that the summary rollups correctly on this tab and the overall summary tabs reflect the Proposers complete and accurate proposal
• The Proposer must ensure that any changes that are made - based on the instructions below - will result in printed hardcopy deliverables to display in a clear and logical manner.
Inflation-Future Cost of Money Tab
Used to account for inflation after operational cutover has occurred The labor categories and rates shown previously for the labor
estimates used average rates over the design, build and test phases of the project
Operational labor rates entered into the Labor Categories and Rates tab should be in 2017 dollar, since they will be adjusted for inflation on these tabs
Utilized to escalate the price of operational labor (only), hardware, software, etc. for future years on various tabs in this Pricing Workbook
Demos: Set base rate and it will auto populate all years until 2026 Currently defaulted at 2.5%, but can be changed by the proposer The inflation rate for years 2022 through 2026 can be individually set
Operational Labor Estimates Tab
Used to capture operational labor costs during the operational phase of the project Current data is an example only
The "Labor Categories and Rates" tab should be filled in first to define these labor categories and rates As stated previously the operational labor rates are entered in 2017 dollars since
inflation affects are automatically taken into account on this tab Using a non-operational rate on this field will account for inflation twice!
To add a labor to the existing sheet copy a line or change an existing line Labor category and rate are changed via the drop down in column A Directly enter proposes hours in column E Delete unused lined Check rollup summaries Update:
Change B33 formula to ”=SUM(H32:M32)/5” instead of =SUM(H32:M32)/15 H30 through M30 summation should include H21 through H24 (e.g. “=SUM(H21:H29)” )
HW-SW BOM NRC & MRC tabNRC Costs
This tab creates a Bill of Material (BOM) for all Non-Recurring Costs (NRC) associated with a single site
Parts are organized by Functional Element (FE) when possible Parts are classified by “Class” – use the drop down selection The costs of this tab will be multiplied by three to represent the costs
associated with PSAC1, PSAC2, SDE summarized on last tab in the spreadsheet
HW-SW BOM NRC & MRC tab MRC and Demos
Also accounts for Monthly Recurring Cost any for a given item E.g. MRC can include yearly SW licenses and support E.g. MRC can include HW maintenance licenses
MRC costs are adjusted for inflation Note: 1 year of warranty is cover by contract covers MRC costs
during the 1st year , and this first year is therefore excluded in the calculation and rollups on
this tab Demos: add, change name of item, remove not applicable items
WAN Links Need to be Priced
RFP page 14: Except as otherwise noted, all network facilities and WAN connections
required by the Proposer’s proposal must be included in the price proposal. The City requires that the Call Routing Facilities (CRFs) and Call
Aggregation Functions be hosted within PSAC1, PSAC2, and the optional 3rd site (if required).
WAN connections between PSAC1, PSAC2, and the SDE must be included for the purposes of this proposal and must be priced. Note SDE is in PSAC1 facility
WAN connections and equipment to all OSPs, either temporary or permanent, must also be priced.
The Proposer shall be responsible for the managed service cost of WAN circuits between OSPs.
Cost associated with WAN services to the optional 3rd site should not be priced at this time.
MISC Tab and Demo
Misc Tab Use when there is cost that can not be accounted for on other tabs miscellaneous Non-Recurring Costs and Monthly Recurring Costs
(MRC) can be added independently: Proposer can add NRC only Proposer can add MRC only Proposer can add NRC and MRC together
Demos: Add items Delete unused lines Check total
ESInet-Core WAN Links
Accounts for WAN link costs to/from PSAC1/PSAC2 and the OSPs
Applies only to the ESInet-Core Class1 proposal Provides the means to include WAN costs for
NRC – installation charges and one time fees MRC- monthly lease costs of the lines
Demo: Add 18th OSP Change prices See that summaries are updated
ESInet and Core Subsystem with OSPs(see RFP pg. 45)
Figure 7 - ESInet and Core Subsystem with OSPs
Options Tab
Provides a place to price alternative options that are called for in the RFP or options that the Proposer want the city to consider Functions similarly to the Misc. tab or options MRC after 2021 is adjusted for inflation MRC and NRC get added to the MRC & NRC Summary Rollup tabs
Total NRC Cost &Total MRC 5 year Cost Rollup tabs
These tabs are auto populated It is the Proposers responsibility to see that these tabs
correctly reflect the Proposers price Breakage of the auto population could occur if summary
information on previous tabs has been deleted or otherwise corrupted.
If a phase or subphase has been added to the Labor Estimates tab, a manual entry on these pages will be necessary to include these costs
Total NRC Cost Rollup
Total NRC Cost Rollup - Demo
Demo: Add phase and subphase to Labor estimate tab Add links to the NRC cost Rollup page See that both pages are self-consistent
