Attachment I
FINANCIAL PROPOSAL
Proposer must complete all required elements of this Financial Proposal. The format and structure of the Financial Proposal is intended to allow for a fair evaluation of like costs among Proposers. Deviation from the format or structure of this Financial Proposal may result in Proposer’s proposal being deemed non-responsive.
Proposer is wholly responsible for ensuring figures and calculations submitted in Proposer’s completed Financial Proposal are accurate, even if formulas have been provided by the Lead State as a courtesy.
Inclusion of cost or pricing information in any document other than this Financial Proposal may result in Proposer’s proposal being deemed non-responsive.
Proposed Costs
The Financial Proposal for Category A: Vehicle Lifts will consist of a completed Market Basket and the Proposer’s established catalog/price list for vehicle lifts. The Financial Proposal for Category B: Garage Associated Equipment will consist of the Proposer’s established catalog/price list for garage associated equipment, which must be submitted by Proposer as part of Proposer’s proposal if the proposal includes Category B.
The Market Basket is available on the RFP Website as revised Appendix 1 dated 1.13.23. The completed Market Basket should be submitted in Excel format.
The Proposer’s established catalog/price list for Category A and Category B (if applicable) should include item description, SKU/part number, equipment type/category, list price (MSRP), discount percentage offered, net price, and whether the equipment complies with Buy America. The established catalog/price list should be submitted in Excel format.
Proposer shall clearly identify any element of the total cost of acquisition that is not included in equipment pricing.
This includes all additional charges associated with a purchase.
Proposer should provide pricing information for offered services that are not included in equipment pricing, including, but not limited to, delivery, installation, training, deconstruction and removal of existing equipment, equipment repair, extended warranty, etc. Proposer should identify any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer.
All costs proposed by Proposer must also be inclusive of the NASPO ValuePoint administrative fee.
Proposed costs incorporated into a Master Agreement resulting from this RFP represent not-to-exceed pricing and minimum discounts, where applicable. Except as permitted below, pricing offered to Participating Entities and Purchasing Entities must be no higher than pricing set forth in the Master Agreement.
A Participating Addendum may also require payment of an additional administrative fee by Contractors to a Participating Entity based on sales to Purchasing Entities within the jurisdiction of the Participating Entity. Unless otherwise negotiated by the Participating Entity, Contractor may adjust the Master Agreement pricing incorporated into the Participating Entity’s Participating Addendum by an amount not to exceed the Participating Entity’s fee. Such adjustments will have no effect on the NASPO ValuePoint administrative fee, pricing in the Master Agreement, or pricing offered to Purchasing Entities outside the jurisdiction of the Participating Entity.
Proposer should list any offered aggregated volume discounts in Attachment H, Proposer Response Worksheet.
Evaluation of Proposer’s Financial Proposal will be based on the average net price per lift capacity for vehicle lifts (from the Market Basket) for Category A and Proposer’s average discount percentage offered for garage-associated equipment, based on Proposer’s submitted catalog/price list, for Category B.

Sourcewell prefers suppliers that provide a sole source of responsibility for the equipment, products, and services provided under a resulting contract. If proposer is including the equipment, products, and services of its subsidiary entities, the proposer must also identify all included subsidiaries in its proposal. If proposer requires the use of distributors, dealers, resellers, or subcontractors to provide the equipment, products, or services, the proposal must address how the equipment, products or services will be provided to Participating Entities, and describe the network of distributors, dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.

Vehicle Lifts with Garage and Fleet Maintenance Equipment
E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE
Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD $27 Million; therefore, proposers are expected to propose volume pricing. Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity under the contract(s) awarded from this RFP; however, sales and sales volume from any resulting contract are not guaranteed.
F. MARKETING PLAN
Proposer’s sales force will be the primary source of communication with Participating Entities.

4. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer, including samples of the proposed equipment or products.
5. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be based on a subcategory.
6. A proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be considered in the evaluation of a proposal.

A. REQUIREMENTS
All proposed pricing must be:
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #121223
Vehicle Lifts with Garage and Fleet Maintenance Equipment
1. Either Line-Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of these:
a. Line-item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must indicate the proposer’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.” b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the products or services.

Proposers will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any contract resulting from this RFP.
2. The proposer’s not to exceed price. A not to exceed price is the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity . However, it is permissible for suppliers to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.

Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the proposer. Additionally, p roposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in the proposal.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Proposers awarded a contract are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entities for all contracted equipment, products, or services made during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two percent (2%). In some categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative.
IV. CONTRACT
Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see attached template). Only those modifications the proposer indicates in its proposal will be available for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict Minnesota law may result in the proposal being disqualified from further review and evaluation.
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #121223
Vehicle Lifts with Garage and Fleet Maintenance Equipment
