standard terms and conditions of the State's RFP, including the Standard Contract in Exhibit A, if included herein. As such, Vendors whose proposals, in the sole opinion of the State, reflect a substantial number of material exceptions to this RFP, may place themselves at a comparative disadvantage in the evaluation process or risk disqualification of their proposals. For Vendors who have successfully negotiated a contract with ITS in the past, ITS requests that, prior to taking any exceptions to this RFP, the individual(s) preparing this proposal first confer with other individuals who have previously submitted proposals to ITS or participated in contract negotiations with ITS on behalf of their company, to ensure the Vendor is consistent in the items to which it takes exception. For ITS General RFPs, ITS will not review or approve any exceptions taken at the time of the General RFP response submission. If the response is complete, the Vendor’s Vendor will be approved to participate in the Letter of Configuration process under this General RFP but will be marked in the General RFP database as having contractual issues to be dealt with at the time of any future award for a specific project. If and when the Vendor is awarded a project under this General RFP, ITS will be willing to work with the Vendor for acceptable terms and conditions or additional contractual protection as requested by ITS, the Vendor, or the requesting state entity, within the confines of state law. The burden will be on the Vendor to raise the issues from the Proposal Exception Summary Form at that time. Please note that any such negotiations must be substantially within the terms and conditions of the General RFP. Vendors whose proposals reflect a significant number of material exceptions to the General RFP and/or to project-specific requirements for subsequent Letters of Configuration may place themselves at a comparative disadvantage in the evaluation process.
