4-RFP-07-Deviations.xlsx

This is a Deviation Form for Request for Proposal No. 26-0031 issued by the City of Fort Worth for Lab Supplies, Consumables and Replacement Parts. The form provides bidders with the 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 form includes ten numbered sections for listing deviations, as well as checkboxes to indicate whether the bidder is submitting deviations or confirming no deviations exist.

The City of Fort Worth reserves the right to accept or reject any bid based on deviations submitted. If a bidder does not list any deviations or exceptions on this form, the City will consider the proposal to constitute full and unconditional agreement with all requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions of the Vendor Services Agreement and RFP. The form serves as a critical component of the bid evaluation process, allowing the City to clearly identify areas where bidders cannot comply with standard contract requirements and to make informed award decisions accordingly.
