City of Everett 01 25 00 - 5 <br />Port Gardner Storage Facility - Demolition Package WO# UP-3525 <br />01 25 00 - 5 SUBSTITUTION PROCEDURES <br />D. AFTER RECEIPT OF BID: Requests for approval of alternative materials or products <br />will be considered by the Owner for a period of sixty (60) calendar days following date <br />of "Notice To Proceed". Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of Contractor's request <br />for substitution, the Owner will request whatever additional information or <br />documentation may be needed for their evaluation of the request. Within twenty (20) <br />calendar days of receipt of request, or within one week of receipt of requested <br />additional information or documentation (whichever is later), the Owner will notify the <br />Contractor of either their acceptance or their rejection of the proposed substitution. In <br />submitting a request for substitution, the Contractor agrees to the following: <br />1. That they have personally investigated the proposed substitute product or material <br />and determined that it is equal or superior in all respects to that specified. <br />2. That they shall provide the same warranty for the substitution as they would for <br />that specified. <br />3. That they will coordinate all trades, including changes thereto as may be required, <br />that they waive all claims for additional costs which subsequently become <br />apparent as a consequence of the substitution and that they will bear all costs <br />related thereto. <br />4. If, in the opinion of the Owner, the proposed substitution is not equal or better in <br />every respect to that specified, the Contractor shall furnish the specified material <br />or product at no additional cost to the Owner. <br />E. CONDITIONS: Contractor's request for substitution will be reviewed and considered <br />except as noted when extensive revisions to contract documents are not required and <br />changes are in keeping with the general intent of contract documents; when timely, fully <br />documented and properly submitted; and when one or more of the following conditions <br />is satisfied, all as judged by Owner. Otherwise, requests will be returned without action <br />except to record non-compliance with these requirements: <br />1. Where request is directly related to an "or equal" clause or other language of <br />same effect in contract documents. <br />2. Where required product, material or method cannot be provided within contract <br />time, but not as a result of Contractor's failure to pursue the work promptly or <br />coordinate various activities properly. <br />3. Where required product, material, or method cannot be provided in a manner <br />which is compatible with other materials of the work, or cannot be properly <br />coordinated therewith, or cannot be used without adversely affecting Owner's <br />insurance coverage on completed work, or will encounter other substantial non- <br />compliances which are not possible to otherwise overcome except by making <br />requested substitution, which Contractor's thereby certifies to overcome such <br />noncompliance, non-coordination, non-warranty, non-insurability, or other non- <br />compliance as claimed. <br />4. Where required product, material or method cannot receive approval by a <br />governing authority, and requested substitution can be so approved. <br />5. Where substantial advantage is offered Owner, in terms of cost, time or other <br />valuable considerations, after deducting offsetting responsibilities Owner may be <br />required to bear, including additional compensation to Architect/Engineer for <br />redesign and evaluation services, increased cost of other work by Owner or <br />separate Contractors, and similar considerations.
