This is a Substitution Request Form for Walworth County, Wisconsin, specifically related to Project #26-023, the Judicial Center HVAC Valve Replacement. The form serves as a standardized document for contractors and bidders to request approval for product substitutions prior to or during the bidding process. The form requires submitters to identify the specification section and paragraph affected, provide detailed information about the proposed substitution including manufacturer and product model, and explain the reason for the substitution, whether due to product unavailability, cost savings, or other factors. Contractors must address potential impacts of the substitution on project dimensions, work in other sections, and design requirements. The form is submitted to Carolyn Holt, Buyer, and requires signatures from both the subcontractor and contractor along with architectural review and approval documentation.

The substitution request process includes architect review with options for acceptance, rejection, or noting submissions as incomplete or late. The form requires attachments such as comparative cost analyses when cost savings are claimed as justification. All additional costs resulting from approved substitutions become the responsibility of the contractor. This streamlined process ensures that any product deviations from the original specifications are formally documented, reviewed, and authorized before incorporation into the Judicial Center HVAC valve replacement project, maintaining project integrity and cost control.
