C. Appendix A provides a list of facility preferred items. See 1.1.D for Substitution requirements.

D. Substitutions are subject to COR, and shop personnel approval. Substitutions and deviations must be specifically noted and addressed. Substitutions shall be based upon the cost to the item indicated in Appendix A or if not listed here accordingly per the basis of design. Substitution cost to the facility is much greater to the facility if a cheaper or alternate product is selected and total costs will require consideration if substitutions are to be considered, to include the potential for replacing any existing products throughout the facility to ensure standardization and familiarity for the facility is not compromised due to the substitution. Any costs associated with the substitution shall be the contractor’s responsibility to include all design, installation, training and replacement of existing spares and stock.

E. Items listed and detailed here are to be considered as in addition to the specifications. When this document is found to be in contradiction to the specification or drawings, the contractor shall be held to the strictest requirement and shall be required to clarify through the RFI process prior to proceeding.
