This is a Deviations Form for RFP No. 26-0165 issued by the City of Fort Worth, Texas, for an Economic Development Strategic Plan to be developed for the Economic Development Department. The form serves as the mechanism through which bidders must formally document any deviations or exceptions from the terms and conditions outlined in the City's draft Vendor Services Agreement or the specifications detailed in the RFP. Bidders are required to reference the specific RFP section for each deviation and provide a detailed explanation along with proposed alternative language where applicable. The form allows bidders to either indicate no deviations exist or list deviations in a numbered format with up to ten deviation entries available.

The City of Fort Worth reserves the right to accept or reject any bid based upon deviations indicated on this form or in any accompanying attachments. If a bidder submits no deviations or exceptions, the City will interpret the proposal as a full and unconditional agreement to comply with all requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions set forth in the draft Vendor Services Agreement and RFP. This form is a critical compliance document that allows the City to evaluate the extent to which each proposal aligns with baseline contract requirements and to assess the feasibility of any requested modifications prior to award.
