12.01 If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, individuals, or

Supplier, individual, or entity, OWNER may, before the Notice of Award is given, request apparent
Successful Bidder to submit a substitute, in which case apparent Successful Bidder shall submit an
00200-4

making the contract award.
12.02 If apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, OWNER may award the Contract to
the next lowest Bidder that proposes to use acceptable Subcontractors, Suppliers, individuals, or entities.
Declining to make requested substitutions will not constitute grounds for forfeiture of the Bid security of
any Bidder. Any Subcontractor, Supplier, individual, or entity so listed and against which OWNER or
ENGINEER makes no written objection prior to the giving of the Notice of Award will be deemed
acceptable to OWNER and ENGINEER subject to revocation of such acceptance after the Effective Date of
the Agreement as provided in Paragraph 6.06 of the General Conditions.
12.03 CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, individual, or entity against
whom CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.

the total scope of the services. This includes a joint submission by two Proposer's having no formal
corporate connections or linkage. However, in this case one of these Proposers must be prepared to take
over all responsibility for successful performance of the contract and this should be clearly defined in the
proposal.
12.05 Sub-Contracting to any firm or individual who's current or past corporate or other interests may, in the
Owner's opinion; give rise to a conflict of interest in connection with this project will not be permitted.
