6-Form 7 - Exceptions.docx

This is an Exceptions Form for RFP #269-2026-156 issued by the City of North Carolina for Small Business Readiness Curriculum Development. The form is used by proposers to formally document any exceptions or proposed changes to the terms, conditions, and specifications outlined in the RFP and Sample Contract. Proposers must agree to provide all products and services requested in the RFP at the prices set forth in the Pricing Sheet in strict conformity with the RFP requirements and Sample Contract, including any addenda or amendments, except as noted in the exceptions chart. The form requires proposers to identify the specific RFP/Contract section number, section title, and describe the exception and proposed change. The document must be signed and dated by an authorized company representative with their printed name and title.

Exceptions representing material changes to proposal terms are grounds for automatic rejection of the proposal. This form serves as a critical document for establishing the baseline of any contractual deviations and ensures transparency in the proposal evaluation process. All exceptions must be clearly articulated and justified, as failure to comply with the standard terms and conditions without documented exceptions may result in proposal disqualification.
