(a) Any cost comparison must include an analysis of:
(i) Comparative benefits for employees to meet the requirements of the statement of work and performance standards;
(ii) All transition costs as defined in § 42-148-2(f) of this chapter;
(iii) Any conversion costs as defined in § 42-148-2(e) of this chapter; and
(iv) Areas where the bidder's costs appear artificially low, thereby putting the state at risk for further cost overruns.
(b) In the event that the state will incur new program costs related to the statement of work and performance standards, such costs shall be included in the cost comparison.
