SECTION 00 8100
ADDENDUM TO GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR THE CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
1.1.3 THE WORK
The Work comprises the completed construction required by the Contract Documents and includes all labor
necessary to produce such construction, and all materials and equipment incorporated or to be incorporated
or to be incorporated in such construction.
1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS
The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for
materials, equipment, construction systems, standards and workmanship for the Work, and performance of
related services. References to specifications of manufacturers, trade associations, or the like are
understood to mean that such specifications are incorporated in the Specifications as if fully reproduced
therein. "Approved", "equal", "acceptable" and similar words are understood to mean in the sole judgment of
the Architect.
1.1.6.1 Should there be conflicts or discrepancies in the Drawings or Specifications between the quality
of work or material, the higher (more expensive) quality shall take precedence unless otherwise
directed by the Architect in writing.
1.1.6.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the Contractor's
employees, Subcontractors, Sub subcontractors, material suppliers, equipment suppliers and
fabricators and their agents and employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of
the Work under a contract with the Contractor.
1.1.6.3 Products are generally specified by ASTM or other reference standard, and/or by manufacturer's
name and model number or trade name. When specified only by reference standard, the
Contractor may select any products or manufacturers complying with those standards. When a
number of products or manufacturers are specified as being equally acceptable, the Contractor
has the option of using any product and manufacturer or combination listed. When only one
product or manufacturer is specified, the Contractor shall provide only that which is specified.
There shall be no substitution of products or manufacturers after the Contract is executed.
1.1.6.4 Prior to the submission of bids, the Owner and Architect may consider a formal request for the
substitution of products or manufacturers where the request is accompanied by complete data
on the proposed substitution sufficient to substantiate full compliance with the Contract
Documents including product identification and description, performance and test data,
references and samples where applicable.
1.1.6.5 By making requests for substitutions as provided in paragraph 3.4.4, the Contractor:
.1 Represents that the Contractor has personally investigated the proposed substituted product
and has determined that it is equal or superior in all respects to that specified,
.2 Represents that the Contractor will provide a warranty for the substituted product that is
equal or superior to the warranty for the product specified,
.3 Waives all claims for additional costs related to the substituted product which subsequently
become apparent, and
.4 Will coordinate the installation of the accepted substitute product making such changes as
may be required for the Work to be complete in all respects.

And Accessibility - Detroit, MI Bids 04.21.26
SVA Project #2024.041

1.1.6.6 Not later than thirty (30) days from the Contract Date, the Contractor shall furnish in writing to the
Owner through the Architect a list showing the names of manufacturers proposed to be used for
each of the products identified in the Specifications or on the Drawings and, as applicable, the
name of the installing Subcontractor. The Architect will promptly reply to the Contractor in
writing stating whether or not the Owner or the Architect, after due investigation, has reasonable
objection to any such proposal. If adequate data on any proposed manufacturer or installer is
not available, the Architect may state that action will be deferred until the Contractor provides
further data. Failure to object to a manufacturer shall not constitute a waiver of any of the
requirements of the Contract Documents and all products furnished by the listed manufacturers
must conform to such requirements.
1.1.6.7 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change
which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall include a reduction in the Contractor's
overhead and profit. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are
involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net
increase, if any, with respect to that change.
1.1.6.8 The Contractor shall make no claim for damages for delay in the performance of this Contract
occasioned by any act or omission of the public authority having jurisdiction over the Work or
any of its representatives, and agrees that compensation for any such claim shall be limited to
an extension of time to complete performance of the Work as provided herein.
1.1.6.9 In the event the Contractor encounters on the site material reasonably believed to be asbestos
or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) which has not been rendered harmless, the Contractor shall
immediately stop Work in the area affected and report the condition to the Owner and Architect
in writing. The work in the affected area shall not thereafter be resumed until the Owner has
separately arranged for the asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) to be removed or
rendered harmless, the removal or rendering is complete in accordance with applicable
standards and requirements and has been certified safe by appropriate authorities. The Work in
the affected area shall be resumed in the absence of asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl
(PCB), or when it has been rendered harmless or removed and certified safe.
1.1.6.10 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Contractor, Architect, Architect's Consultants and Agents and employees of any of them against
claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees arising out of
or resulting from performance of the Work in the affected area, or from others not involved in
performance of the Work or from anyone subsequently on the premises if in fact the material is
asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and has not been rendered harmless, provided that
such claim, damage, loss or expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death,
or in injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) including loss of use
resulting therefrom. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other
rights or obligations of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to a party or person described
in this Subparagraph 10.1.4.
1.1.6.11 The Contractor shall maintain policies of employment as follows:
1.1.6.12 The Contractor and the Contractor's Subcontractors shall not discriminate against any employee
or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, sex or national origin. The
Contractor shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that
employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, religion, color, sex or
national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment,
upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination,
rates of pay or other forms of compensation and selection for training, including apprenticeship.
The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for
employment, notices setting forth the policies of nondiscrimination.

SVA Project #2024.041

1.1.6.13 The Contractor and the Contractor's Subcontractors shall, in all solicitations or advertisements
for employees placed by them or on their behalf, state that all qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, sex or national origin.
1.1.6.14 All references to standards, whether for materials, processes, assemblies, workmanship,
performance, or similar purpose shall mean, unless otherwise noted, the most recent available
published version of such standard as of the date of the execution of the Contract. When
reference is made to standards, such is understood to be made a part of the Contract
Documents, and to have the same effect as if fully reproduced therein.
