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 serves as a standardized mechanism for bidders 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 itself. Bidders are required to reference the specific RFP sections affected by their deviations and provide detailed explanations along with proposed alternative language where applicable. The form includes ten numbered line items for listing deviations, as well as a checkbox option to indicate either no deviations or the presence of deviations with corresponding details below.

The City of Fort Worth explicitly reserves the right to consider any listed deviations in its bid award decisions and may accept or reject bids based on the nature and extent of deviations submitted. If a bidder submits a proposal without indicating any deviations on this form, the City will interpret the submission as full and unconditional agreement to all requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions set forth in the RFP and the draft Vendor Services Agreement. This deviation form is a critical component of the procurement process that allows the City to identify and evaluate any non-compliance or requested modifications to standard contract terms before making final award decisions.
