This is a Deviation Form for Request for Proposal No. 26-0222 issued by the City of Fort Worth, Texas, for the procurement of Aluminum, Iron, Rebar, and Steel on a non-exclusive, as-needed basis. The form provides bidders with an opportunity to formally document any deviations or exceptions from the terms, conditions, and specifications outlined in the City's draft Vendor Services Agreement and the RFP requirements. Bidders must reference the specific RFP section for each deviation and provide detailed explanations along with proposed alternative language where applicable. The City of Fort Worth reserves the right to consider any deviations in its bid award decisions and may accept or reject bids based on the deviations submitted. If no deviations are indicated on the form, the City will consider the bidder's proposal to constitute full and unconditional agreement to comply with all requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions specified in the draft Vendor Services Agreement.

The deviation form includes space for bidders to list up to ten separate deviations or exceptions. Submission of this form is discretionary, with bidders selecting either "No Deviations/Exceptions" or "Yes—See listing below" to indicate whether they intend to propose any modifications to the standard terms. The form does not specify pricing information, set-asides, award dates, contract term details, or other substantive procurement parameters, as it functions solely as a mechanism for documenting and managing bidder exceptions during the proposal evaluation process.
