1-Exceptions Page - UPLOAD.pdf

This is an Exceptions to Bid Specifications form for the City of Owensboro, Kentucky's procurement for a custom drone light show scheduled for July 3, 2026, over the Ohio River. The form provides bidders with a standardized template to document any deviations from the bid specifications outlined in the solicitation documents. Bidders are required to list exceptions by number on the appropriate specification sheet and provide detailed explanations on this form. The document includes space for up to eight numbered exceptions, an area for other remarks and comments, and signature lines for firm authorization and dating. If a bidder has no exceptions to the specifications, they are instructed to note "NONE," sign the form, and upload it through the Bonfire portal along with their proposal submission.

This exceptions form is a mandatory administrative document that must accompany all bid submissions for this procurement. The form serves as a mechanism for ensuring transparency and formal acknowledgment of any specification deviations prior to contract award. Bidders who fail to disclose exceptions or submit this form may face proposal rejection or award complications. The form does not contain pricing information, set-aside designations, or other substantive procurement terms; rather, it functions solely as a disclosure and documentation tool to capture specification variances and allow the evaluating authority to assess proposal compliance and risk during the award selection process.
