SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:

1. THE BASIS OF DESIGN (BOD) COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS ARE TO BE

FOLLOWED FOR ALL CONTRACTOR PROPOSED EQUIVALENT

SUBSTITUTIONS OR DEVIATIONS FROM THE BASE

BID/CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

2. AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REPRESENTS ANY DEVIATION

FROM THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS ORIGINAL DESIGN INTENT,

SCOPE OF WORK REQUIREMENTS, THE DETAILING OR

SPECIFICATIONS.

3. NO SUCH EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION OR DEVIATION WILL BE

ALLOWED WITHOUT FIRST GOING THROUGH THE BOD COMPLIANCE

PROTOCOLS PROCESS AND OBTAINING VA APPROVAL.

4. ONCE VA APPROVAL OF THE EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION OR

DEVIATION REQUEST HAS BEEN OBTAINED, THE FORMAL SHOP

DRAWING PREPARATION AND SUBMITTAL PROCESS MAY BEGIN

FOR THAT WORK.

5. THE FOLLOWING BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS DEFINE IN DETAIL

THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE EVALUATION PROCESS ALONG

WITH THE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED

WHEN REQUESTING VA CONSIDERATION OF ANY PROPOSED

EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION OR DEVIATION.

BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS:

1. THE BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS APPLY TO ALL MATERIALS,

EQUIPMENT, HARDWARE, FINISHES, CONTROLS, ENGINEERING

SYSTEMS AND THEIR INCLUSIVE PARTS, DETAILED ASSEMBLIES

PLUS ALL RELATED DESIGN ELEMENTS AND SPECIFIED

PARAMETERS THAT ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE BID/ISSUED FOR

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

DOCUMENTATION, OR AS SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED BY SAME.

2. SPECIFIC DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS REQUIRING BOD COMPLIANCE

ANALYSIS WILL VARY WITH EACH SPECIFIC ITEM BEING PROPOSED

AS AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION AND WILL NEED TO BE FULLY

COMPARED TO ESTABLISH BOD COMPLIANCE.

3. CRITICAL DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS AND ELEMENTS ARE SPECIFIC

TO EACH ITEM NEEDING CONSIDERATION AND COULD CONSIST OF,

BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CRITERIA SUCH AS DIMENSIONAL LOGISTICS,

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS, CAPACITY, DUTY

REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES, ACOUSTICAL

REQUIREMENTS, UTILITIES IMPACTS, CONNECTION VARIANCES,

DETAILING DEVIATIONS, FRAMING MODIFICATIONS, ROUGH IN

REQUIREMENTS, WEIGHT INCREASES AND/OR DISTRIBUTIONS,

STRUCTURAL IMPACTS, ATTACHMENTS, SUPPORTS, FINISHES,

AVAILABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, CONSTRUCTABILITY, WARRANTIES,

SERVICE LIFE, MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, ENVIRONMENTAL

CONSIDERATIONS, LEED RELATED DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, ETC.

4. A VERY CRITICALLY IMPORTANT DESIGN CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL

BOD ITEMS NEEDING TO BE FULLY EVALUATED AND PROPERLY

COORDINATED WOULD BE THE DESIGN AND LAYOUT DIMENSIONAL

LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS. THOSE CRITICAL PARAMETERS COULD

CONSIST OF, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL DIMENSIONAL ELEMENTS

THAT AFFECT SIZE, HEIGHT, WIDTH, DEPTH, THICKNESS,

PLACEMENT, SPACING, CLEARANCES, ACCESS, MOUNTING,

CONNECTION/LOCATION REQUIREMENTS, INSTALLATION

TOLERANCES, OPERABLE ELEMENT CLEARANCES, ETC., ALL OF

WHICH COULD IMPACT OTHER AREAS OR COMPONENTS OF WORK.

5. CONTRACTORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO FULLY IDENTIFY ALL

PROPOSED EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTIONS, DEVIATIONS, IMPACTS

AND MODIFICATIONS FROM THE "BASIS OF DESIGN" INTENT WITH

THE GENERAL/PRIME CONTRACTOR DURING THE BIDDING

PROCESS AND OBTAIN THEIR APPROVAL BEFORE COMPLETING

THEIR PRICING AND SUBMITTING A BID.

6. IF A PROPOSED EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION ITEM WILL REQUIRE

THAT MODIFICATIONS NEED TO BE MADE, TO THE WORK OF THE

PROVIDING CONTRACTOR, THE WORK OF OTHER CONTRACTORS

OR THE WORK OF THE VA, THE SUBMITTING CONTRACTOR SHALL

BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE TO INFORM AND ADVISE THE

GENERAL/PRIME CONTRACTOR OF ANY AND ALL SUCH NECESSARY

IMPACTS AND POSSIBLE MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED AS A PART OF

THEIR BIDDING AND BASE CONTRACTUAL SCOPE OF WORK

RESPONSIBILITIES.

7. THE CONTRACTOR PROPOSING THE EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION

SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL RELATED WORK AND SHALL

IDENTIFY, VERIFY, COORDINATE AND PROVIDE ENGINEERED

SOLUTIONS FOR ALL IMPACT ISSUES AFFECTING INFRASTRUCTURE

SYSTEMS, UTILITIES SERVICES, BUILDING STRUCTURE,

SURROUNDING ELEMENTS, AND SYSTEMS AFFECTED FROM

WEIGHT DIFFERENTIALS, REVISED LOADING CHARACTERISTICS,

CONNECTION/MOUNTING VARIANCES, INSTALLATION CONFLICTS

AND DETAILING MODIFICATIONS, ETC. CAUSED BY THE EQUIVALENT

SUBSTITUTION REQUIREMENTS.

8. SPECIAL ATTENTION NEEDS TO BE PAID TO ANY SYSTEMS

EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

INCLUDING ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR DIMENSIONAL LOGISTICS

FEATURES AND REQUIREMENTS ALONG WITH ANY STRUCTURAL

AND UTILITIES IMPACTS.

9. EACH EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REQUEST ALONG WITH ANY/ALL

IMPACTS, DEVIATIONS/VARIANCES AND MODIFICATIONS WILL

REQUIRE VA/COR APPROVAL(S) BEFORE ANY SUCH REQUEST IS

DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE VA AND ALLOWED TO PROCEED

INTO THE NORMAL SHOP DRAWING PREPARATION, SUBMITTAL AND

REVIEW PROCESS.

10. NO REQUEST FOR AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REVIEW CAN BE

MADE VIA A SHOP DRAWING SUBMISSION. ANY SUCH SUBMISSION

WILL NOT BE REVIEWED AND WILL BE REJECTED AS NON-

CONFORMING WITH THE DESIGN INTENT AND NOTED THAT THE

CONTRACTOR IS TO FOLLOW THE STANDARD BOD COMPLIANCE

PROTOCOLS.

11. ANY DEVIATIONS FROM THE BOD REQUIREMENTS THAT SURFACE

DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE SHALL IMMEDIATELY BE MADE

KNOWN TO THE GENERAL/PRIME CONTRACTOR WHO WILL IN TURN

NOTIFY THE VA/COR. ALL SUCH DEVIATIONS, VARIANCES AND

IMPACTS WILL BE FULLY IDENTIFIED, DOCUMENTED AND

SUBMITTED TO THE VA/COR FOR REVIEW, EVALUATION AND

DIRECTION(S) ON HOW TO PROCEED.

12. ANY NON-COMPLIANT EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTIONS WORK FOUND

TO BE IN PLACE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE THAT HAD

NOT GONE THROUGH THE BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS

APPROVAL PROCESS AND THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE VA/COR'S

APPROVAL WILL BE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REJECTION AND

REMOVAL.

13. THE FINAL INSTALLATION OF ANY EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION AND

ITS IMPACTS SHALL NOT COMPROMISE ANY OF THE BOD

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS NOR SHALL IT ENCUMBER ANY

OF THE ASSOCIATED DESIGN LAYOUT AND DIMENSIONAL

LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS.

14. THE FINAL INSTALLATION OF ANY EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION AND

ITS IMPACTS SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE BUILDING

CODES, REGULATIONS AND VA REQUIREMENTS, PLUS ALLOW ANY

SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT AND/OR MATERIALS TO FUNCTION

PROPERLY AND SAFELY.
