About this file
This is an Alternates section from the construction documents for the Garden City Elementary School Renovation Project, a capital improvement initiative for the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia. The document, prepared by SSOE, Inc. as part of the 100% Construction Documents dated August 7, 2026 with Addendum 1 issued September 8, 2026, establishes the administrative and procedural requirements governing optional work items that bidders may propose as additions to or deductions from the base bid. The alternates are incorporated into the contract only if enumerated in the Agreement, and each alternate's cost or credit represents a net addition to or deduction from the Contract Sum. The primary alternate specified involves the replacement of the Main Service Entrance switchboard (SWBD-A), which shall match existing switchboard ratings for voltage, amperage, and kAIC ratings as documented in existing drawings and photographs.
The switchboard replacement alternate requires all inclusive Code compliance measures including surge protection, arc energy reducing maintenance switches, arc flash calculations, and appropriate labeling. Bidders are responsible for confirming all equipment sizes against the one-line diagram and must report any discrepancies to the engineer. All accepted alternates are to be executed under the same conditions as other contract work, with bidders required to include all miscellaneous devices, accessory objects, and incidental items necessary for complete installation as part of their alternate proposals. The project is being procured through a Construction Management at Risk (CMR) services contract under AIA Document A133-2019 with payment structured as Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price.
