Attachment 6 - Exceptions and Deviations to the Sample Contract.docx

This document is an Exceptions and Deviations Form for the Elevator Modernization Services contract opportunity in Oregon, administered through the Buyspeed solicitation ITB #0002596. The form provides a structured process for bidders to submit proposed exceptions or deviations to the terms and conditions outlined in Exhibit A, Standard Goods and Services Contract. Bidders are required to complete the form by specifying the contract section number, current language, requested exception with redline changes, and the business justification for each deviation. The document explicitly states that requests to renegotiate the entire contract will not be considered, establishing clear boundaries for acceptable modification requests.

The form includes an example demonstrating the submission format, wherein a bidder requested to modify the definition of "System" to read "System" or "Solution" to align with their company's Service Level Agreement and End User License Agreement terminology, noting that no equipment would be provided under the contract. This template is intended to facilitate organized and transparent communication between bidders and the City regarding contract term modifications prior to award, ensuring that all exception requests are documented with clear rationale and specific language changes.
