A. DEFINITION: Substitutions are changes in products, materials, equipment, and methods of construction which differ from those required by the Contract Documents.

B. PROCEDURE:

1. Requests for Substitution may be made at any time. Justification for substitutions are generally due to changed

Project conditions, unavailability of product, or a recognition of clear benefit to the project which was not evident at the time the Contract Documents were prepared.

2. Requests for Substitution should generally be informally proposed in three-way discussion between the Owner, Architect, and Contractor. If the Owner determines that the proposed Substitution offers a clear benefit to the project, approval to submit a formal Substitution Request will be given.

3. Requests for Substitution that have been previously discussed with Owner will be submitted to the Designer by Contractor in writing. (See forms following Section 01 76 00, including Document 01 23 00 - Request for Substitution Form)

a. Such requests shall include the name of the material or equipment to be substituted and a complete description of the proposed substitutions including such drawings, performance, cost and other data that may be necessary for evaluation by the Designer.

b. A statement setting forth all changes in adjacent or related materials, equipment, or other portions of the Work (including changes in the work of other contracts that may be affected) shall be included.

c. The burden of proof of the merit of the proposed substitution and its benefit to Owner is on the Contractor.

d. If, upon detailed review, the Designer deems the substitution request has merit, he will approve it in writing and forward the approval document to the Owner for approval.

e. Substitutions will be approved only when of benefit to the Owner. The Owner’s approval or disapproval of a proposed substitution shall be final.

f. Upon approval of a substitution request, formal Submittals as outline in Section 0133 00 will be required.

C. Submittal Procedures:

1. The Construction Manager will maintain a submittal log that is updated not less than weekly. Said log shall have a column to record Architect/Engineer (A/E), Commissioning Agent (CxA) and Project Manager (PM) submittal review status. Standard Statuses and abbreviations shall be:

a. Reviewed: AAS (Approved as submitted). The reviewing authority has reviewed and approved the submittal exactly as submitted, without comment.

b. Reviewed: CAN (Approved as Noted, or Approved, Coordinate as Noted). The reviewing authority has reviewed and approved the submittal, but wishes the submitter and A/E to be cognizant of some minor coordination, adjustment, or installation concern which is detailed on the returned submittal or coversheet. The Construction Manager will take responsibility for hand-annotating the Issued for Construction Drawing set to ensure that the annotation is incorporated into the final project.

c. Reviewed: DNC (Does Not Comply). The reviewing authority has reviewed or attempted to review the submittal, but cannot approve it because the submittal violates the basis of design, is outside the specification, or is otherwise unacceptable. A DNC evaluation from the Reviewer should be interpreted as a requiring A/E interaction with the submitter before the A/E’s issuance of an “R&R” or “Rejection” notice to the submitter.

d. Reviewed: NAR (No Action Required). The reviewing authority has reviewed the submittal, has no objections to it, but lacks the moral fortitude to expressly approve it.

e. Reviewed: R&R (Discrepancies as Noted, Revise and Resubmit). The reviewing authority has reviewed or attempted to review the submittal, but cannot approve it for the specific reasons noted, which the submitter must correct before additional consideration.

f. Not Reviewed: ANC (Existence Acknowledged, but No Comment). For whatever reason, the reviewing authority chooses not to review or to take definitive action on a submittal. This status is particularly applicable to the CxA, which may choose to focus its efforts on critical review packages and not touch every package.

g. The Owner’s expectation is that every instance of CAN, R&R, and DNC, will be discussed by the project team, and that issues requiring a potential compromise in some aspect of the project expectations will be escalated to the Owner’s Representative in a timely manner.

2. All comments from Owner’s Representative or stakeholders will be sent to the Owner’s PM for inclusion in the PM’s formal response. Comments from the CxA will be sent to the A/E with a copy to the PM.

a. Submittal Comments by Owner & Tenant Reps => Owner’s PM for consideration, coordination, & inclusion as appropriate.

b. Submittal Comments by Owner’s PM => A/E

c. Submittal Comments by CxA => A/E, Copy PM

d. Submittal Comments by A/E => CM

3. NO SUBMITTAL MAY BE ACCEPTED BY THE A/E UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THEPM OR CxA.

4. Electronic digital data files of the Contract Drawings will be provided by Architect for Contractor's use in preparing

Submittals, Shop Drawings and Project Record Drawings. Limitations on the use of such files by the Contractor, if any, will be include in the Project’s Special Conditions.

5. Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with the performance of sequential construction activities.

a. Submit all submittal items required for each Specification Section concurrently unless partial submittals are allowed by the approved submittal schedule.

i. Submit action and informational submittals required by the same Specification Section as separate packages under separate transmittals.
