About this file

This is an Offeror's Exceptions form for FCS (Fulton County Schools), a Georgia educational institution, which establishes the framework for how proposals may deviate from the stated Request for Proposal (RFP) terms and conditions. The form outlines FCS's policy that while the solicitation terms comprise the proposed contract, FCS does not intend to modify those terms unless clarification of scope of work or technical requirements is necessary. Offerors who submit substantive modifications that materially differ from RFP requirements may face point deductions during evaluation, and failure to accept RFP terms may result in proposals being deemed nonresponsive or cause significant delays in contract award. The form provides a structured table format requiring offerors to document any exceptions taken, identifying the specific section, paragraph, title, and clause number; the exception taken and its reason; the proposed resolution; and any price or schedule impacts associated with the exception. All cells within each row must be completed for each exception submitted, and the form explicitly states it is for proposal evaluation purposes only and will not become part of the executed contract.

The Offeror's Exceptions form does not contain specific pricing information, set-asides, incumbent details, funding sources, or contract term information. Rather, it serves as a procedural document that acknowledges offerors' right to request deviations while making clear that FCS reserves discretion to determine proposal responsiveness based on the nature and extent of exceptions proposed. The form requires offeror signature, printed name, title, date, and RFP number to be completed upon submission, establishing accountability and traceability for any exceptions claimed during the proposal evaluation process.

OFFEROR’S EXCEPTIONS

The terms and conditions contained in the solicitation comprise the contract proposed by FCS. FCS does not intend to make changes to those terms and conditions, unless necessary to clarify the scope of work and/or technical requirements. Offeror may lose points for substantive modifications proposed by Offeror which materially differ from the RFP terms and are likely to, in the opinion of FCS, require substantial legal negotiations to resolve. In addition, failure to accept the RFP terms and conditions may result in significant unacceptable delays in FCS’ ability to award a contract and may result in an Offeror’s proposal being deemed to be nonresponsive. Nonetheless, if an Offeror must take an exception the Offeror shall provide the requested information for each exception or suggested deviation in the table below. By completing and submitting this form, an Offeror acknowledges that its proposal may be deemed to be nonresponsive at FCS' discretion.
