1-Exceptions Page - FINAL.pdf

This is an Exceptions to Bid Specifications form for a procurement solicitation involving the City of Norwalk, Connecticut, and the City of Owensboro and Daviess County Fiscal Court in Kentucky. The form is designed to allow bidders to document any deviations from the stated bid specifications for two distinct projects: a multi-use trail system construction project in Norwalk funded through The State of Connecticut Capital Equipment for Parks & Recreation Urban Acts Grant (DEEP Project DEPA00030), and a sodium chloride (rock salt) supply contract for road de-icing in Kentucky. The Norwalk trail construction project involves two separate locations at East Rocks Road and Lakewood Drive, with electronic bid submission due September 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM, hard copy submission due September 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and bid opening scheduled for September 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of all addenda to avoid disqualification and must demonstrate expertise in trail construction to meet project qualifications.

The exceptions form provides eight numbered lines for bidders to list specification deviations with accompanying explanations and an additional section for other remarks and comments. Bidders submitting no exceptions must indicate "NONE" on the form. The Norwalk trail construction contract is subject to state set-aside and contract compliance requirements, while the Kentucky bulk salt procurement may be ordered by additional public entities beyond the initial soliciting jurisdictions. The form requires the bidding firm's authorized representative to sign and date the document upon submission through the Bonfire portal. No specific contract award value, budget range, pricing terms, or incumbent vendor information is detailed on this particular exceptions form.
