The procedure for review by the Engineer will include the following supplemented in the General Requirements. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by Engineer from anyone other than Contractor. If Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, Contractor shall make written application to the Engineer for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the general design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as specified. The application will state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice Contractor’s achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner for work on the project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which shall be considered by the Owner in evaluating the proposed substitute. The Owner may require the Contractor to furnish at the Contractor’s expense additional data about the proposed substitute.

B. If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, sequence, technique or procedure of construction to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that indicated or required by the Contract Documents.

The procedure for review by the Engineer will be similar to that provided in Section 1.08A as applied by the Engineer and as may be supplemented in the General Requirements.

C. The Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time within in which to evaluate each proposed substitute. The Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered, installed, or utilized without the Engineer’s prior written acceptance which will be evidenced by either a Change Order or an approved Shop Drawing. The Engineer may require the Contractor to furnish at the Contractor’s expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. The Engineer will record time required in evaluating substitutions proposed by the Contractor and in making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby. Whether or not the Engineer accepts a proposed substitute, the Contractor shall reimburse the Owner for the charges of the Engineer and the Engineer’s consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute.

01 11 00-6

D. If any substitute items are submitted after the Contract has been awarded, and there is any question of equality of such items, samples may be required to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer. In no case shall additional remuneration be allowed because of the rejection of a submittal.

1.09 TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE

A. The Contractor is advised that the acceptance date of components of equipment and construction covered by this Contract is that date upon which this entire Contract is accepted, and not the date of completion of individual components or the date which the Owner started to use the components included in the Contract.

B. Where materials are required to conform to standard specifications, test or other authorities incorporated by reference, samples of these materials shall be furnished by the Contractor for inspection, testing and approval upon request or as described herein.
