1-Objection template.docx

This is an objection form template provided by Chicago Public Schools' Dawson Technical Institute Business and Procurement Services. The form is designed for companies to formally object to sole source contract announcements issued by the institution. The template allows objecting companies to challenge the proposed award to a sole source awardee and request a hearing to present their case. Companies using this form must provide their objection details, including the specific sole source number, proposed awardee name, and the release date of the announcement. The form requests contact information from the objecting company, including company name, contact person, phone number, and email address, to facilitate communication regarding the requested hearing.

The objection form is structured as a standardized template to be completed by companies that believe they can provide the same or similar services at a price equal to or below the quoted price for the sole source procurement. This template facilitates the formal challenge process for sole source awards issued by Dawson Technical Institute and serves as the official mechanism for interested vendors to formally contest procurement decisions and request the opportunity to present alternative proposals before contract award.
