7-G. Exceptions Form.docx

This is an Exceptions Form for a pavement marking materials contract opportunity issued by the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) in North Carolina. The form allows bidders to document any exceptions or proposed changes to the Invitation to Bid (ITB) terms, conditions, and specifications. Bidders must provide all requested products and services at the prices set forth in the Pricing Sheet in strict conformity with the ITB requirements, including any addenda or amendments. The form requires bidders to identify the specific ITB section number, section title, the exception and proposed change, and includes signature lines for the bidder's authorized representative, company name, and date of submission. Material exceptions that represent significant changes to bid terms may result in rejection of the bidder's proposal.

The Charlotte Department of Transportation annually maintains approximately 690,000 linear feet of pavement markings throughout the city, including center lines, lane lines, edge lines, crosswalks, stop bars, and approximately 850 pavement arrows that provide guidance to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. All pavement marking materials must meet North Carolina Department of Transportation specifications. The Exceptions Form itself does not contain specific pricing information, set-asides, incumbent status, funding amounts, or contract term details, as it functions solely as a mechanism for bidders to formally document and justify any deviations from the stated ITB requirements prior to bid submission.
