Section 554-155-Two-Two - Responsibilities

Summary: This section outlines the responsibilities of the Agency or Department and the bidders when preparing requests and submitting proposals which would result in a contract for personal services.

2.2.1Responsibilities of the Agency or Department.

The Agency or Department desiring to become involved in the CBP seeking a personal services contract shall prepare a report on forms stipulated for use by the Division of Purchases and submit the material to the Director, Division of Purchases with the CBP to the Division for approval. The report shall include, but not be limited to:

1. a projection of all job duties being sought, summed in hours by job duty and rounded to the nearest whole hour;
2. the FTEs for each job duty;
3. the comparable position for the job duties; and,
4. the state worker base cost for each comparable position.

No CBP submission shall be released if the Director finds this report to be inadequate, incorrect or inconsistent with the personal services requested in the associated CBP.

2.2.2Responsibilities of the Bidder.

The Director, Division of Purchases, shall develop standard language for CBPs that describe the information required of bidders to allow calculation of cost differentials. This shall include, but not limited to, the identification of the temporary worker base cost for each position proposed. The Director may require that the information required to calculate cost differentials be submitted using a standard form. Proposals that do not provide the information required must be rejected as non-responsive to the CBP and be eliminated from consideration.
