9-SPEC or SOW Deviation Request 1.13.2026.xlsx

This is a Specification or Scope of Work (SOW) Deviation Request form related to a Real Estate Brokerage Services Request for Qualifications issued by Dallas Independent School District in Texas. The document provides a template for vendors to formally request deviations from the original specifications or scope of work, requiring them to identify the specific scope or specification area affected, justify the reason for the deviation, describe the recommended change, and detail the impact on various contract elements including form, functionality, lead-time, and cost. The underlying contract opportunity is for district-wide real estate brokerage services on an as-needed basis and is intended to comply with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR) Part 200 requirements for procuring vendors using federal dollars. The resulting contract will have an initial term of three years with two successive one-year renewal options, for a maximum total contract period of five years, with either party required to provide ninety days' written notice if they do not intend to renew.

All variation requests submitted via this deviation form require written approval and acceptance by the District before implementation. The document emphasizes that all vendors are encouraged to participate in the RFQ process, including sole source providers, and that the contract may be utilized for local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs. The specific pricing terms, G&A (General and Administrative) cost structures, and detailed evaluation criteria are referenced but not fully detailed in this particular form, which functions primarily as a mechanism for managing specification changes during the procurement and contract execution phases.
