Exceptions Form RFB.docx

This is an Exceptions Form for a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Fleet Services. The form provides a standardized template for bidders to document and submit any exceptions to the RFB 005-RFB-1823-2025 for Sport Utility Vehicles. The form requires bidders to list exceptions by section, identify the relevant prerequisite, document, or question number, and explain the reason for each exception. Bidders are instructed to submit the completed Exceptions Form through the Vendor Attachments Section and to submit each exception as a question in the Question and Answer Section. The form accommodates up to ten exceptions with space for additional pages if necessary.

The Exceptions Form serves as an administrative tool to track bidder requests for deviations from the RFB requirements. This document is essential for managing the procurement process transparency and ensuring all exceptions are formally documented and reviewed by the Iowa DAS Fleet Services team. By requiring structured submission through both the attachments and Q&A sections, the form ensures comprehensive communication between bidders and the procurement agency regarding any requested modifications to the solicitation terms or conditions.
