RFI response form asks for "Assumptions" as just a single money amount

Question

I am surprised by the last row in this RFI response form:

My project's initial fees are 1m$, recurring fees are 100k$/year, under the assumption that I provide only the software and they run it on their own hardware. If I had to provide the hardware too that would cost double. In my internal expense calculations, I calculated how much everything actually costs me and then I added +10% to account for risks.

• Should I write Add 1m$ initial + 100k$/year for hardware in the Assumptions field?
• Or should I fill the three fields with 900k$, 90k$/year, 100k$ initial + 10k$/year?
• Or does it mean something entirely different?

The field is very small, preventing me from writing anything more than a number.

I managed to find the template for this RFI on the Internet, unfortunately it does not seem to provide much more information.

Answer 1

In the link you provided, the next field (after ASSUMPTIONS) is called PRICING METHODOLOGY.

I think that's where they expect you to explain yourself. Pick one of your 3 answers and then explain yourself in the PRICING METHODOLOGY field.

^{(That's assuming you don't get a clear answer when asking them in the Q&A session.)}
