6-Agreement Exceptions - RFP-RFQ-RLI.docx

This is an Agreement Exceptions form for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Broward County Water Wastewater Services in Florida for engineering services related to a Regional Biosolids Facility Design project. The form serves as a template for vendors to document any exceptions or proposed modifications to the contract terms and conditions outlined in the solicitation. Vendors are required to submit the completed form with their solicitation response; failure to submit the form constitutes acceptance of all contract terms and conditions as stated in the solicitation. The engineering services scope includes professional design and consulting for a new Regional Biosolids Drying Facility, encompassing permitting support, technical assistance during Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) development by the Managing General Contractor, and delivery of a complete Basis of Design Report (BODR). Required services include evaluation of existing solids production, dewatered biosolids analysis, solids-loading projections development, and design criteria establishment. The County encourages vendors to submit all available documentation, including optional items, at the time of submittal to facilitate timely and comprehensive review.

The solicitation is governed by the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) under Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes and requires vendors to hold appropriate County and State licenses. Vendors must comply with Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) requirements and County Business Enterprise (CBE) goal participation guidelines as outlined in the special instructions. All submissions must be made electronically through BPRO (the procurement platform), and vendors must receive a Submission Receipt to confirm proper filing. The County provides a designated question-and-answer period during which vendors may seek clarification through BPRO's messaging system, with responses provided to all interested parties. The form date is September 9, 2024, and serves as the standard document for capturing vendor exceptions prior to contract execution.
