Within twenty (20) calendar days of receipt of request, or within one week of receipt of requested additional information or documentation (whichever is later), the Owner will notify the Contractor of either his acceptance or his rejection of the proposed substitution. In submitting a request for substitution, the Contractor agrees to the following: That the Contractor has personally investigated the proposed substitute product or material and determined that it is equal or superior in all respects to that specified. That the Contractor shall provide the same warranty for the substitution as he would for that specified. That the Contractor will coordinate all trades, including changes thereto as may be required, that he waives all claims for additional costs which subsequently become apparent as a consequence of the substitution and that he will bear all costs related thereto. If, in the opinion of the Owner, the proposed substitution is not equal or better in every respect to that specified, the Contractor shall furnish the specified material or product at no additional cost to the Owner.

Otherwise, requests will be returned without action except to record non-compliance with these requirements: Where request is directly related to an "or equal" clause or other language of same effect in contract documents. Where required product, material or method cannot be provided within contract time, but not as a result of Contractor's failure to pursue the work promptly or coordinate various activities properly. Where required product, material, or method cannot be provided in a manner which is compatible with other materials of the work, or cannot be properly coordinated therewith, or cannot be used without adversely affecting Owner's insurance coverage on completed work, or will encounter other substantial non-compliances which are not possible to otherwise overcome except by making requested substitution, which Contractor's thereby certifies to overcome such noncompliance, non- coordination, non-warranty, non-insurability, or other non-compliance as claimed.

With his request, the Contractor shall indicate which condition he believes applies.
