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

This is a Sample Contract Exceptions and Deviations Form for a state and local contract opportunity in Oregon. The form provides proposers with a structured template to request modifications to the sample contract included in the Request for Proposal (RFP). The document instructs bidders to identify specific contract sections, document the current language, propose requested exceptions in redline format, and provide justification for each deviation. The form includes one example demonstrating how a proposer requested a definitional change from "System" to "System or Solution" based on alignment with their company's Service Level Agreement (SLA) and End User License Agreement (EULA), noting that no equipment was being provided under the contract.

The form serves as a standardized mechanism for managing contract negotiations during the proposal process, allowing proposers to formally communicate required or preferred modifications to the base contract terms. This approach enables the contracting agency to review all exceptions systematically and compare proposals on a consistent basis. Proposers are expected to complete this table comprehensively, identifying all deviations from the sample contract language rather than attempting to modify contract terms through other submission materials.
