Whenever an item of materials or equipment is specified or described in the

Contract Documents for installation in the Work by using the name of a

proprietary item or the name of a particular manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or

distributor; or means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of

construction are prescribed in the Plans or Specifications; the specification or

description is intended to establish the type, function and quality required or the

means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction required.

Unless the specification or description contains or is followed by words indicating

that no like, equivalent or “or-equal” item or no substitution is permitted, other

items of material or equipment or materials or equipment of other

manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers or distributors; or other means, methods,

techniques, sequences and procedures of construction may be accepted by

ENGINEER under the following circumstances:

GENERAL CONDITIONS

00 7200-27

ODW2036.01G

1.

“Or-Equal”: If in ENGINEER’s sole discretion an item of material or

equipment proposed by CONTRACTOR is functionally equal to that

named and sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will be

required, it may be considered by ENGINEER as an “or-equal” item, in

which case review and approval of the proposed item may, in

ENGINEER’s sole discretion, be accomplished without compliance with

some or all of the requirements for acceptance of proposed substitute

items.

2.

Substitute Items: If in ENGINEER’s sole discretion an item of material or

equipment proposed by CONTRACTOR does not qualify as an “or-equal”

item under paragraph 6.04.A; or a proposed means, methods, techniques,

sequences and procedures of construction are different from what is

prescribed in the Plans or Specifications, it will be considered a proposed

substitute item.

B.

CONTRACTOR shall submit sufficient information as provided below to allow

ENGINEER to determine that the item of material or equipment or means,

methods, techniques, sequences and/or procedures proposed is essentially

equivalent to that named and an acceptable substitute therefor. The procedure

for review by the ENGINEER will include the following, as supplemented in the

Specifications, and as ENGINEER may decide is appropriate under the

circumstances. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment

will not be accepted by ENGINEER from anyone other than CONTRACTOR.

C.

If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute, CONTRACTOR shall make

written application to ENGINEER on the Substitution Request Form provided for

acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute will:

1.

perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the

general design,

2.

be similar in substance to that specified,

3.

and be suited to the same use and capable of performing the same

function as that specified.

The application will state the extent, if any, to which the evaluation and

acceptance of the proposed substitute will prejudice CONTRACTOR’s

achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the

proposed substitute for use in the Work will require a change in 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.

D.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified shall be identified in

the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service shall

be indicated. The application shall also contain an itemized estimate of all costs

or credits that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute,

including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the

resulting change, all of which shall be considered by ENGINEER in evaluating the

proposed substitute. ENGINEER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish additional

data about the proposed substitute.

00 7200-28

ODW2036.01G

6.05

E.

All data to be provided by CONTRACTOR in support of any proposed “or-equal”

or substitute item will be at CONTRACTOR’s expense. ENGINEER will be the sole

judge of acceptability, and ENGINEER’s determination shall be final and binding,

may not be reversed through an appeal under any provisions of the Contract

Documents, and no “or-equal” or substitute shall be ordered, installed or utilized

without ENGINEER's prior written acceptance. OWNER may require

CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR's expense a special performance

guarantee or other surety with respect to any “or-equal” or substitute which has

been approved by ENGINEER.

F.

ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER and ENGINEER's consultants

in evaluating substitutions proposed by CONTRACTOR and in making changes in

the Contract Documents occasioned thereby. Whether or not ENGINEER accepts

a proposed substitute, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse OWNER for the charges of

ENGINEER and ENGINEER's consultants for evaluating any proposed substitute

and in making any changes in the Contract Documents resulting therefrom.

Concerning Subcontractors

A.

CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or

organizations, including those who are to furnish the principal items of materials

or equipment, whether initially or as a substitute, against whom OWNER or

ENGINEER may have reasonable objection. CONTRACTOR shall furnish

ENGINEER a complete list of any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or

organization furnishing principal items of material or equipment within 4 days of

request. Failure to object to any Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or

organization by OWNER or ENGINEER shall not constitute a waiver of any right

of OWNER or ENGINEER to reject defective Work.

B.

If OWNER or ENGINEER, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any

Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or organization proposed by

CONTRACTOR after the Notice of Award, CONTRACTOR shall submit an

acceptable substitute and the Contract Price shall be increased or decreased by

the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and an appropriate Change

Order shall be issued. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any

Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or organization against whom

CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.

C.

The CONTRACTOR shall not award Work to Subcontractor(s), in excess of 50% of

the Contract Price, without prior written approval of the OWNER.

CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for all acts and omissions of his

Subcontractors, Suppliers and of persons and organizations performing or

furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with CONTRACTOR

just as CONTRACTOR is responsible for CONTRACTOR’s own acts and omissions.

Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create for the benefit of any such

Subcontractor, Supplier of other person or organization any contractual

relationship between OWNER or ENGINEER and any such Subcontractor,

Supplier or other person or organization, nor shall it create any obligation on the

part of OWNER or ENGINEER to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys due

any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization. OWNER or

ENGINEER may furnish to any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or

organization, to the extent practicable, evidence of amounts paid to

CONTRACTOR on account of specific Work done.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

00 7200-29

ODW2036.01G

Work of Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations

performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with

CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall require all Subcontractors, Suppliers and

such other persons and organizations performing or furnishing any of the Work

to communicate with ENGINEER through CONTRACTOR.

E.

If the amount of the subcontract or the nature of the Work to be performed

thereunder warrants, OWNER may require Subcontractor to furnish, for the

benefit of OWNER and CONTRACTOR jointly, Bonds in an amount proportioned

to the amount of his subcontract, and for the same purpose and under the same

specifications as those of the general Contract. The Surety on the general

Contract shall not be eligible to furnish such Subcontract Bonds.
