2. Proposed adjustments in the progress schedule that will change the Contract Times (or Milestones) shall be
submitted in accordance with the requirements of Article 12. Such adjustments may only be made by a Change
Order or Written Amendment in accordance with Article 12.

6.05 Substitutes and “Or-Equals”

A. Whenever an item of material or equipment is specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name
of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the specification or description is intended to establish the
type, function, appearance, and quality required. Unless the specification or description contains or is followed by
words reading that no like, equivalent, or “or-equal” item or no substitution is permitted, other items of material or
equipment or material or equipment of other Suppliers may be submitted to ENGINEER for review under the
circumstances described below.

1. “Or-Equal” Items:

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
approval of proposed substitute items. For the purposes of this paragraph 6.05.A.1, a proposed item of material or
equipment will be considered functionally equal to an item so named if:

a. In the exercise of reasonable judgment ENGINEER determines that: (i) it is at least equal in quality,

durability, appearance, strength, and design characteristics; (ii) it will reliably perform at least equally well the
function imposed by the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole, and;

GC - 20 of 53

b. CONTRACTOR certifies that: (i) there is no increase in cost to the OWNER; and (ii) it will conform
substantially, even with deviations, to the detailed requirements of the item named in the Contract Documents.

2. Substitute Items

a. 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 6.05.A.1, 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 proposed is essentially equivalent to that named and an acceptable
substitute therefore. Requests for review of proposed substitute items of material or equipment will not be
accepted by ENGINEER from anyone other than CONTRACTOR.

c. The procedure for review by ENGINEER will be as set forth in paragraph 6.05.A.2.d, as supplemented in
the General Requirements and as ENGINEER may decide is appropriate under the circumstances.

d. CONTRACTOR shall first make written application to ENGINEER for review of a proposed substitute
item of material or equipment that CONTRACTOR seeks to furnish or use. The application shall certify that
the proposed substitute item will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the
general design, be similar in substance to that specified, and be suited to the same use as that specified. The
application will state the extent, if any, to which the use of the proposed substitute item will prejudice
CONTRACTOR’s achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not use of the proposed
substitute item 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 item
and whether or not incorporation or use of the proposed substitute item in connection with the Work is subject
to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute item from that specified will
be identified in the application, and available engineering, sales, maintenance, repair, and replacement services
will be indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that will result
directly or indirectly from use of such substitute item, including costs of redesign and claims of other
contractors affected by any resulting change, all of which will be considered by ENGINEER in evaluating the
proposed substitute item. ENGINEER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish additional data about the
proposed substitute item.

B. Substitute Construction Methods or Procedures:: \f a specific means, method, technique, sequence, or procedure of
construction is shown or indicated in and expressly required by the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish
or utilize a substitute means, method, technique, sequence, or procedure of construction approved by ENGINEER.
CONTRACTOR shall submit sufficient information to allow ENGINEER, in ENGINEER’s sole discretion, to
determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly called for by the Contract Documents. The
procedure for review by ENGINEER will be similar to that provided in subparagraph 6.05.A.2.

C. Engineer's Evaluation: ENGINEER will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposal or
submittal made pursuant to paragraphs 6.05.A and 6.05.B. ENGINEER will be the sole judge of acceptability. No “or-
equal” or substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized until ENGINEER’s review is complete, which will be
evidenced by either a Change Order for a substitute or an approved Shop drawing for an “or equal”. ENGINEER will
advise CONTRACTOR in writing of any negative determination.

D. Special Guarantee: OWNER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR’s expense a special
performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute.

E. ENGINEER’s Cost Reimbursement: ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER and ENGINEER’s
Consultants in evaluating substitute proposed or submitted by CONTRACTOR pursuant to paragraphs 6.05.A.2 and
6.05.B and in making changes in the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with
OWNER for work on the Project) occasioned thereby. Whether or not ENGINEER approves a substitute item so
proposed or submitted by CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse OWNER for the charges of ENGINEER
and ENGINEER’s Consultants for evaluating each such proposed substitute.

6.06 Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers, and Others

A. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity (including those
acceptable to OWNER as indicated in paragraph 6.06.B), whether initially or as a replacement, against whom OWNER
may have reasonable objection. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other
individual or entity to furnish or perform any of the Work against whom CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.

B. If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or
entities to be submitted to OWNER in advance for acceptance by OWNER by a specified date prior to the Effective
Date of the Agreement, and if CONTRACTOR has submitted a list thereof in accordance with the Supplementary
Conditions, OWNER’s acceptance (either in writing or by failing to make written objection thereto by the date
indicated for acceptance or objection in the Bidding Documents or the Contract Documents) of any such
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity so identified may be revoked on the basis of reasonable objection
after due investigation. CONTRACTOR shall submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected Subcontractor,
Supplier, or other individual or entity, and the Contract Price will be adjusted by the difference in the cost occasioned
by such replacement, and an appropriate Change Order will be issued or Written Amendment signed. No acceptance
by OWNER of any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, whether initially or as a replacement,
shall constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or ENGINEER to reject defective work.

C. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to OWNER and ENGINEER for all acts and omissions of the
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the Work 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, or other individual or entity any contractual
relationship between OWNER or ENGINEER and any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other individual or entity, 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 such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity except as may otherwise be required by Laws and
Regulations.

D. CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for scheduling and coordinating the Work of Subcontractors, Suppliers,
and other individuals or entities performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with
CONTRACTOR.

E, CONTRACTOR - shall require all Subcontractors, Suppliers, and such other individuals or entities performing or
furnishing any of the Work to communicate with ENGINEER through CONTRACTOR.

F. The divisions and sections of the Specifications and the identifications of any Drawings shall not control
CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or Suppliers or delineating the Work to be performed by
any specific trade.

G. All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an appropriate
agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor or Supplier which specifically binds the Subcontractor or
Supplier to the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of OWNER and
ENGINEER. Whenever any such agreement is with a Subcontractor or Supplier who is listed as an additional insured
on the property insurance provided in paragraph 5.06, the agreement between the CONTRACTOR and the
Subcontractor or Supplier will contain provisions whereby the Subcontractor or Supplier waives all rights against
OWNER, CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER, ENGINEER’s Consultants, and all other individuals or entities identified in
the Supplementary Conditions to be listed as insured or additional insured (and the officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, and other consultants and subcontractors of each and any of them) for all losses and damages
caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any of the perils or causes of loss covered by such policies and
any other property insurance applicable to the Work. If the insurers on any such policies require separate waiver forms
to be signed by any Subcontractor or Supplier, CONTRACTOR will obtain the same.

GC - 22 of 53

6.07 Patent Fees and Royalties

A. CONTRACTOR shall pay all license fees and royalties and assume all costs incident to the use in the performance
of the Work or the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product, or device which is the subject
of patent rights or copyrights held by others. If a particular invention, design, process, product, or device is specified
in the Contract Documents for use in the performance of the Work and if to the actual knowledge of OWNER or
ENGINEER its use is subject to patent rights or copyrights calling for the payment of any license fee or royalty to
others, the existence of such rights shall be disclosed by OWNER in the Contract Documents. To the fullest extent
permitted by Laws and Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless OWNER, ENGINEER,
ENGINEER’s Consultants, and the officers, directors, partners, employees or agents, and other consultants of each and
any of them from and against all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
arising out of or relating to any infringement of patent rights or copyrights incident to the use in the performance of the
Work or resulting from the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product, or device not
specified in the Contract Documents.

Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall bear all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such Work; however, it shall not be CONTRACTOR’s primary
responsibility to make certain the Specifications and Drawings are in accordance with Laws and Regulations, but this
shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of CONTRACTOR’s obligations under paragraph 3.03.

C. Changes in Laws or Regulations not known at the time of opening of Bids (or, on the Effective Date of the
Agreement if there were no Bids) having an effect on the cost or time of performance of the Work may be the subject
of an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times. If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree on
entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any such adjustment, a Claim may be made therefore as provided
in paragraph 10.05.

D. CONTRACTOR shall comply with all local laws, ordinances, and statutes, all provisions of the Revised Statutes
Annotated, all provisions of the federal Davis-Bacon Act for projects with federal funding, and all regulations
promulgated under either statute. Copies of the "City of Nashua Prevailing Wage Rates for Public Works", as
