9-HSS-26-033 - Indigent Burial - Attachment 3 - Exceptions Form.docx

This is an Exceptions Report Form for Contract No. HSS-26-033, issued by the Delaware Health and Social Services Division of Social Services for Indigent Burial and Cremation Services. The form serves as the standardized template through which vendors must document any exceptions, deviations, or proposed modifications to the specifications, terms, and conditions outlined in the Request for Proposals. Vendors are required to submit this attachment as part of their proposal package, with the option to indicate acceptance of all RFP requirements without exceptions by marking a designated checkbox. The form includes a structured table format with columns for exception paragraph identification, section and page number references, referenced RFP text, proposed vendor language, vendor comments, state response, and vendor response. Vendors exceeding the space provided in the initial form may reproduce and append additional pages using the identical format.

The Exceptions Report Form does not contain pricing information, set-asides, funding amounts, contract term details, or other substantive contract parameters. Rather, it functions as a procedural mechanism to ensure transparent communication between the State of Delaware and potential vendors regarding any requested deviations from the standard contractual requirements. This attachment is part of a broader RFP package that references Appendix B for detailed service specifications and requirements related to establishing a vendor pool for indigent burial and cremation services.
