2-26-024 Substitution Reqeust Form.pdf

This is a Substitution Request Form issued by Walworth County in Wisconsin for RFB #26-024, the Judicial Center Additional Office Buildout project (GovTribe ID: 260014.00). The form is designed to document and track requests for material or product substitutions during the bidding and construction phases. Contractors and bidders may submit substitutions for pre-bid approval prior to the bid date, citing reasons such as product unavailability or cost savings to the owner. The form requires submission to Carolyn Holt, Senior Buyer, and must include the affected specification sections, drawings, manufacturer details, and proposed product information. Submitters are required to answer questions regarding whether the substitution affects dimensions shown on drawings, impacts work in other specification sections, or necessitates design modifications or drawing revisions.

The form establishes that the contractor or bidder assumes responsibility for coordination of any approved substitution and accepts all additional costs resulting from its incorporation into the project. The architect or project manager reviews all submissions and indicates acceptance, rejection, or requests for incomplete information. All checkboxes on the submitted form appear unchecked, indicating that the specific details of the substitution request were not completed at the time of submission. The project involves converting a white-box storage area into three offices for the Walworth County District Attorney, including selective demolition, installation of borrowed lites, modifications to lighting, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, power and data extension, metal stud framing with gypsum board and insulation, carpet, paint and ceiling tile finishes, and a separate chain link enclosure for basement storage shelving.
