specifications. If the equipment does not meet or exceed the department’s minimum specifications,

then the bidder must check the Don't Comply box and supply an explanation, on the ODOT excel pricing

tab called “EXCEPTION”, for the non-compliant specification. The department has the right to review the

“Don’t Comply” explanation and make a decision to accept or deny the equipment being bid. The bid

package will be determined non-compliant and rejected by ODOT if the bidder fails to check either a

Comply or Don't Comply box for each and every line of the specification being bid. This section is located

in the ODOT supplied excel pricing spreadsheet, on the “SPECIFICATIONS” tab.
