RFP_7500_SMW3037_ATT_1_v1.docx

This is an Exceptions Form (Attachment 1) for RFP 7500 SMW3037 issued by Austin Financial Services - Central Procurement for the City of Austin, Texas, in connection with a Facility Condition Assessments solicitation. The form provides the mechanism for offerors to take specific exceptions to sections of the solicitation documents, including Purchase Terms & Conditions and Scope of Work provisions. Offerors must submit exceptions prior to the proposal closing date and time listed on the Solicitation Offer Sheet, with each exception requiring identification of the affected section, alternative language, and written justification. The City reserves the right to negotiate exceptions that do not constitute material deviations from the solicitation requirements.

The City retains sole discretion in determining whether proposed exceptions represent material deviations; exceptions deemed material may result in the offer being classified as non-responsive and ineligible for contract award. The form includes checkboxes for identifying exception categories and designated spaces for documenting alternative language and justification, with provisions for submitting additional pages if multiple exceptions are necessary. No pricing terms, award amounts, contract term details, or other salient contract specifications are addressed within this exceptions form itself, as it serves solely as a procedural mechanism for offerors to formally document and justify deviations from solicitation requirements.
