CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND REFERENCED BY SAME.

2. THE BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS ARE TO BE FOLLOWED FOR ALL PROPOSED EQUIVALENT

SUBSTITUTIONS, DEPARTURES OR ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT DRAWINGS, DETAILING, AND SPECIFICATIONS, PROVIDED THE SUBSTITUTIONS, DEPARTURES OR ADJUSTMENTS MEET THE DESIGN INTENT, SCOPE OF WORK (SOW) CRITERIA REQUIREMENTS, AND PERFORMANCE

BASED CHARACTERISTICS.

3. NO SUCH EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION, DEPARTURES OR ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE ALLOWED WITHOUT

FIRST GOING THROUGH THE BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS PROCESS AND OBTAINING THE

GOVERNMENT'S APPROVAL FROM THE CONTRACTING OFFICER (CO).

DOCUMENTATION, OR AS SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED BY SAME.

2. SPECIFIC DESIGN INTENT AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS REQUIRING BOD COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS WILL VARY WITH EACH SPECIFIC ITEM BEING PROPOSED AS AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION

AND WILL NEED TO BE FULLY COMPARED AND ANALYZED TO ESTABLISH BOD EQUIVALENCY

COMPLIANCE.

3. CRITICAL DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS AND ELEMENTS ARE SPECIFIC TO EACH ITEM NEEDING CONSIDERATION AND COULD CONSIST OF, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CRITERIA SUCH AS DIMENSIONAL

LOGISTICS, PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS, CAPACITY, DUTY REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL

EFFICIENCIES, ACOUSTICAL REQUIREMENTS, UTILITIES IMPACTS, CONNECTION VARIANCES, DETAILING DEVIATIONS, FRAMING MODIFICATIONS, ROUGH IN REQUIREMENTS, WEIGHT INCREASES AND/OR DISTRIBUTIONS, STRUCTURAL IMPACTS, ATTACHMENTS, SUPPORTS, FINISHES, AVAILABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, CONSTRUCTABILITY, WARRANTIES, SERVICE LIFE, MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS, LEED RELATED DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, ETC.

EVALUATED AND PROPERLY COORDINATED WOULD BE THE DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF DIMENSIONAL

LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS. THOSE CRITICAL PARAMETERS COULD CONSIST OF, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL DIMENSIONAL ELEMENTS THAT AFFECT SIZE, HEIGHT, WIDTH, DEPTH, THICKNESS, PLACEMENT, SPACING, CLEARANCES, ACCESS, MOUNTING, CONNECTIONS AND LOCATION REQUIREMENTS, INSTALLATION TOLERANCES, OPERABLE ELEMENT CLEARANCES, ETC., ALL OF WHICH COULD IMPACT OTHER AREAS OF CONSTRUCTION OR COMPONENTS OF WORK REQUIRING ADJUSTMENTS IN ORDER TO

COMPLY WITH THE DESIGN INTENT.

5. CONTRACTORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO FULLY IDENTIFY ALL PROPOSED EQUIVALENT

SUBSTITUTIONS, DEPARTURES, IMPACTS ALTERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE "BASIS OF DESIGN" INTENT TO THE GENERAL/PRIME CONTRACTOR DURING THE BIDDING PROCESS AND OBTAIN

WORK RESPONSIBILITIES.

7. THE CONTRACTOR PROPOSING THE EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL RELATED WORK AND SHALL IDENTIFY, VERIFY, COORDINATE AND PROVIDE ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS FOR ALL IMPACT ISSUES AFFECTING INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS, UTILITIES SERVICES, BUILDING

REVISED LOADING CHARACTERISTICS, CONNECTION AND MOUNTING VARIANCES, INSTALLATION

CONFLICTS AND DETAILING ALTERATIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS, ETC. CAUSED BY THE EQUIVALENT

SUBSTITUTION REQUIREMENTS.

8. SPECIAL ATTENTION NEEDS TO BE PAID TO ANY SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDING ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR DIMENSIONAL LOGISTICS

FEATURES AND REQUIREMENTS ALONG WITH ANY STRUCTURAL AND UTILITIES IMPACTS.

9. EACH EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REQUEST ALONG WITH ANY AND ALL IMPACTS, VARIANCES, ALTERATIONS OR ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED TO OTHER ELEMENTS OF WORK WILL ALSO REQUIRE VA/CO

APPROVAL(S) BEFORE ANY SUCH REQUEST IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE GOVERNMENT AND

ALLOWED TO PROCEED INTO THE NORMAL SHOP DRAWING PREPARATION, SUBMITTAL AND REVIEW

PROCESS.

10. NO REQUEST FOR AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REVIEW IS ALLOWED TO BE MADE VIA A SHOP DRAWING SUBMISSION. ANY SUCH SUBMISSION WILL NOT BE REVIEWED AND WILL BE REJECTED AS NON-CONFORMING WITH THE DESIGN INTENT AND NOTED THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS TO FOLLOW THE

THREE-STORY PARKING STRUCTURE.

2. ADDITION OF NEW STAIR TOWER WITH FOOTPRINT OF APPROXIMATELY 1,500 GSF TO INCLUDE NEW STAIRS

AND TWO NEW ELEVATORS SPANNING THE FULL HEIGHT OF THE COMBINED GARAGE LEVELS.

3. ADDITION OF SCREENING AND SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE GARAGE FOR SAFETY AND WAYFINDING.

4. NEW ROADWAY TO THE EAST OF THE GARAGE FOR BETTER TRAFFIC FLOW AND FUTURE PARKING GARAGE

EXPANSION.

5. RECONFIGURED ACCESSIBLE PARKING AND DROP-OFF LANE AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PARKING GARAGE.

6. RECONFIGURED PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS FROM THE PARKING GARAGE TO THE MEDICAL CENTER ENTRANCE.

7. RESTORATION WORK ON EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURE LEVELS.

8. REPAINTING OF PARKING STRIPING AS SHOWN AND REQUIRED.
