13-DISD Specification Scope of Work Formal Deviation Request Form.xlsx

This is a Scope of Work Formal Deviation Request Form for Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD), one of the largest urban school districts in Texas. The form is designed to process specification or scope of work deviation requests from vendors and contractors engaged by the District. Dallas ISD seeks qualified civil engineering firms to provide professional engineering services on an as-needed basis for capital improvement projects, bond program initiatives, campus modernization efforts, new construction, and infrastructure maintenance activities across numerous campuses and administrative facilities throughout Dallas and surrounding areas. The contract term is three years with two successive one-year renewal options, for a maximum total of five years, contingent upon mutual agreement and the District's long-range needs. Either party must provide written notice at least thirty days prior to contract expiration if renewal is not intended.

The deviation request form requires vendors to identify the specification or scope area subject to deviation, provide reasoning for the requested change, describe the recommended modification, and document the impact on scope elements including form, functionality, lead time, and cost. All variation requests require written approval and acceptance from Dallas ISD before implementation. The form includes provisions for G&A (General and Administrative) cost considerations related to deviation impacts, ensuring transparent communication between the District and service providers regarding any requested deviations from the original contract specifications.
