C260493_RFP_Exhibit_D,_Exceptions_and_Deviations_Form.pdf

This is an Exceptions and Deviations Form (Exhibit D) for Request for Proposals (RFP) 260493 issued by the Orange County Transportation Authority in California for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Section 111 Reporting Services. The form is designed for offerors to submit technical and contractual exceptions or deviations for Authority review and consideration. Offerors must clearly state each exception or deviation, identify whether it pertains to the Scope of Work (technical) or Proposed Agreement (contractual), reference the applicable section or exhibit, specify the page or article number, provide a complete description of the deviation or exception, and explain the rationale for the requested change. The RFP has a budget of $36,000 for an initial three-year term. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the deadline stated in the RFP, and no hard copy submissions are accepted. Any exceptions or deviations submitted after the proposal submittal date will not be reviewed by the Authority. If no exceptions or deviations are submitted with the original proposal, offerors are deemed to have accepted all technical obligations and contractual terms and conditions outlined in the Scope of Work and Proposed Agreement.

The form itself does not contain specific pricing information, set-asides, incumbent details, or other salient contract terms beyond what is referenced in the RFP. Offerors are required to complete the form for each exception or deviation they wish to propose, with all submissions subject to the proposal deadline specified in the RFP documentation.
