4-EXHIBIT E – ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND-OR EXCEPTIONS.pdf

This is an Exhibit E form for RFP #3940 issued by the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) in Riverside County, California, requiring bidders to formally document any additions, deletions, and exceptions to the proposed terms and conditions. The document serves as a standard submission requirement wherein vendors must explicitly state any deviations from EMWD's standard contract terms, the District's scope of work, or any other proposal components. All exceptions, deletions, or modifications must be submitted with the proposal itself; any trade secrets or proprietary information claimed by the vendor must be identified with specific page references. The District reserves the right to evaluate exceptions as part of the overall proposal assessment and may reject proposals based on unacceptable contract term modifications. EMWD intends to execute its standard form agreement with the selected consultant, a copy of which is incorporated into the RFP documents.

The Exhibit E form underscores EMWD's commitment to enforcing contractual compliance and standardized procurement practices. By requiring vendors to explicitly identify all deviations upfront, the District mitigates post-award disputes and ensures transparent evaluation of proposal acceptability. Vendors who fail to address this exhibit will be deemed to have accepted all District terms and conditions without exception. This mechanism allows EMWD to systematically assess the risk and feasibility of any requested modifications before award recommendation, thereby protecting both the District's interests and establishing clear expectations for contract performance.
