Section 2.3 then lists the materials very differently. Is it possible to clarify which products are to be used. This will ensure that proper roof systems are bid.

REPLY:

Per paragraph 1.4A and 1.4B of specification 07 52 16.13, “Contractor may submit for consideration a roofing system of comparable quality, as determined by the Contracting Officer. Substitution requests must be submitted for review to the Contracting Officer no later than 21 days prior to delivery of bid. Requests received after that time may be considered or rejected at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

The question regarding roofing system substitutions was received on Dec 17, 2018, which is less than 21 days prior to delivery of bid. The Contracting Officer has not received any other roofing system substitution requests. The Contracting Officer therefore rejects this roofing system substitution request and any future roofing system substitution requests.
