If apparent successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, Owner may award the contract to the next most qualified, responsible and responsive Bidder that proposes to use acceptable subcontractors, suppliers and other persons and organizations. The declining to make requested substitutions will not constitute grounds for sacrificing the Bid security of any Bidder.

Any subcontractor, supplier, other person or organization listed and to whom Owner or Engineer does not make written objection prior to the giving of the Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer subject to revocation of such acceptance after the effective date of the agreement as provided in Paragraph 6.06.B of the General Conditions.
