Attachment 4 Sample Contract Exceptions and Deviations Form~4.pdf

This is a Sample Contract Exceptions and Deviations Form related to the Contact Survey Pilot opportunity in Oregon. The form serves as a template for bidders to document any exceptions or deviations from the contract terms, specifications, or requirements outlined in the solicitation. The form instructs vendors to clearly identify the specific clause, requirement, or specification to which they are taking exception, provide a detailed explanation of the requested deviation, and describe the proposed alternative or exception being offered. The document establishes the framework for bidders to formally communicate any areas where they cannot fully comply with the contract requirements and to propose alternative solutions for consideration by the state.

The form requires bidders to submit exceptions and deviations in a structured format to ensure consistency and clarity in the evaluation process. This document is essential for the procurement process as it allows the state to identify any compliance gaps early and determine whether proposed deviations are acceptable or if further negotiation is necessary. By using a standardized exceptions form, Oregon ensures transparent communication between bidders and the state regarding contract variances, enabling fair evaluation across all submissions.
