SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:

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.

AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REPRESENTS ANY DEVIATION FROM THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS ORIGINAL DESIGN INTENT, SCOPE OF WORK

REQUIREMENTS, THE DETAILING OR SPECIFICATIONS.

NO SUCH EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION OR DEVIATION WILL BE ALLOWED WITHOUT FIRST GOING THROUGH THE BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS PROCESS

AND OBTAINNG VA APPROVAL.

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.

THE FOLLOWING BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS DEFINE IN DETAIL THE RESPONSIBLITIES AND THE EVALUATION PROCESS ALONG WITH THE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED WHEN REQUESTING VA CONSIDERATION OF ANY PROPOSED EQUIVALENT SUBTITUTION OR

DEVIATION.

BOD COMPLIANCE PROTOCOLS:

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 SPECIFCIALLY REFERENCED BY SAME.

SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS REQUIRING BOD COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS WILL VARY WITH EACH SPECIFIC ITEM BEING PROPOSED AS AN EQUIVALENT

SUBSTITUITON AND WILL NEED TO BE FULLY COMPARED TO ESTABLISH BOD COMPLIANCE.

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, 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, ENVIRONMETNAL CONSIDRATIONS, LEED RELATED DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, ETC.

A VERY CRITICAL IMPORTANT DESIGN CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL BOD ITEMS NEEDING TO BE FULLY EVALUATED AND PROPERLY COORDINATED WOULD BE THE DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF DIMENSIONAL AND 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, SCHEDULES, ETC., ALL OF WHICH COULD

IMPACT OTHER AREAS OR COMPONENTS OF WORK, INCLUDING TIMING OF DELIVERY.

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.

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.

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.

SPECIAL ATTENTION NEEDS TO BE PAID TO ANY SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDING ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR DIMENSIONAL LOGISTIC FEATURES AND REQUIREMENTS ALONG WITH ANY STRUCTURAL AND UTILITIES IMPACTS.

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.

NO REQUEST FOR AN EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION REVIEW CAN BE MADE VIA 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.

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.

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.

THE FINAL INSTALLATION OF ANY EQUIVALENT SUBSTITUTION AND ITS IMPACTS SHALL NOT COMPROMISE ANY OF THE BOD PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS NOT SHALL IT ENCUMBER ANY OF THE ASSOCIATED DESIGN LAYOUT AND DIMENSIONAL LOGISTIC REQUIREMENTS.

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.
