ITB1288 IVD Test System Lease- Modification & Exception Form.pdf

This document is a Modification and Exception Form (Attachment 2) for ITB1288, the State of Idaho's In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Test System Lease procurement. The form provides bidders with a structured template to propose modifications or exceptions to any requirements, terms, or conditions included in the Invitation to Bid, including incorporated Standard Contract Terms and Conditions. Bidders must complete this form and submit it with their ITB response if they intend to propose any deviations from stated specifications. The form requires bidders to specifically identify each proposed modification or exception by ITB section, clearly articulate why the requirement should be considered non-material, provide alternative language or proposed exceptions, and explain the reasoning behind each proposed modification while addressing the evaluation criteria outlined in ITB Section 3.

The State reserves sole discretion to determine whether proposed modifications or exceptions are material. Blanket requests to negotiate requirements without specific justification will not be accepted. Non-material modifications or exceptions may be negotiated with the apparent successful bidder at the State's discretion, following the process detailed in ITB Section 3. This form ensures transparency in the bidding process by requiring comprehensive documentation of any deviations bidders wish to propose, preventing vague or incomplete exception requests and establishing a clear record for evaluation purposes.
