6-DISD TsCs Deviation Request 1.13.2026.xlsx

This is a Terms and Conditions Deviation Request document submitted by Dallas Independent School District (DISD) in response to a Civil Engineering Services procurement solicitation. The request addresses modifications to standard contract clauses, specifically regarding General & Administrative (G&A) variation requests and their approval requirements. The underlying contract opportunity seeks qualified civil engineering firms to provide professional engineering services on an as-needed basis for one of Texas's largest urban school districts, which serves multiple campuses, administrative facilities, and support infrastructure throughout Dallas and surrounding areas. The contract term is established as three years with two successive one-year renewal options, not to exceed five years total, contingent upon mutual agreement between DISD and the selected vendor. Either party may decline renewal by providing written notice at least thirty days prior to contract expiration.

The deviation request specifically challenges the original clause requirement that G&A variation requests require approval and must be accepted in writing. The document indicates that DISD has identified an issue or challenge with this existing contractual language and is recommending an amended clause text to address the identified concern. The request reflects DISD's effort to modify standard terms and conditions to better accommodate the operational needs and procurement practices of the District for the multi-year civil engineering services contract.
