4-ITN Attachment C- Requested Deviation or Exemption Form.pdf

This is an Attachment C Requested Deviation or Exemption Form for an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) issued by Florida Polytechnic University for a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution. The ITN seeks a CRM system to serve multiple university departments, including the Development team, with capabilities to store and manage constituent information, interaction history, event participation records, and organizational relationships. The solution must accommodate 20,000 constituent records and include integrated data cleaning tools, duplicate management, address and phone update functions, reporting and analysis capabilities, a mobile phone application, constituent screening tools, and events and marketing modules. The CRM system must be user-friendly with robust features for events, memberships, and action management, supporting users across Development, strategic communications, finance, and other university departments.

Respondents must complete the Attachment C form and submit it in Tab A of their proposal to formally request any deviations or exceptions to the ITN requirements and contract terms and conditions. The University reserves the right to accept or reject proposed changes or replacement contract language and may lower a respondent's evaluation rating based on the number and severity of exceptions taken. Respondents are advised that the University intends the Successful Respondent to execute the University's contract as written and attached, and all objections to contract provisions must be identified in the written response. The University cautions that objections raised during negotiations rather than in the initial written response may result in elimination of the proposal from further consideration.
