F. If requested by the Architect, provide additional evidence leading to a reasonable certainty that the proposed substitution or deviation will provide a quality of result at least equal to that otherwise attainable.

G. In the event that specified items cannot be delivered to the job site and incorporated into the work in such quantities as to cause no delay, then the Contractor may request a substitution in the manner described above.

1. Should the accepted substitution provide a cost savings, the Contract Price shall be adjusted by change order with Owner receiving the benefit of the net savings.

2. No increase in the Contract Price shall be allowed on substitutions made after the 30 day submittal limit.

H. Inability to obtain specified items due to Contractor’s failure to place timely orders shall not be considered a reason for authorizing substitutions.

1.02 ARCHITECT’S/ENGINEER’S DECISION

A. The Architect/Engineer will review the proposed substitution for appearance, where relevant, as well as the performance, quality of construction, and consistency with design intent, and shall be the final judge on the acceptability of the proposed substitution.

1. The Contract Documents are intended to produce a building of consistent character and quality of design. All components of the building which are exposed to view, including visible items or mechanical and electrical equipment, have been selected to have a coordinated design.

a. The Architect/Engineer will judge proposed substitutions for their appearance and design as well as for other more objective characteristics such as measurable performance.

b. If required to do so by the Architect/Engineer, the Contractor shall furnish the substituted material in any color, finish, texture, or pattern which would have been available from the manufacturer, or one of the manufacturers, originally specified, at no additional cost to the Owner.
