ESBD_427281_1749761544273_SOL_EXH_F.10 Vendor Exceptions Form.pdf

The document is a Vendor Exceptions Form template approved by an office of general counsel (OGC) on 4/14/2022, intended for vendors to list and explain any proposed exceptions to the standard terms and conditions of a Department of Public Services (DPS) contract. The form provides a structured table with three columns: Section Number, Language (original), and Language that you propose in the alternative, along with a column for the reason for requesting an exception. The template requires vendors to use specific formatting, such as strikethrough for deleted text and underlining for proposed new text, with a clear warning that failure to follow the exact format will result in the exception being waived and rejected by DPS.

While the form is currently blank, its purpose is to allow vendors to formally document and justify any proposed modifications to the standard contract terms during a procurement process. The template emphasizes precision and clarity in proposing exceptions, suggesting that DPS maintains strict guidelines for contract negotiations. Vendors must carefully articulate their proposed changes, providing a section number reference, the original language, their proposed alternative language, and a substantive reason for the requested exception.
