A bidder wants approval of a named-equal roofing product before bid day. The procurement documents require pre-bid substitution requests by a stated deadline. What should the bidder do?

Correct Answer

A) Submit by the deadline and rely only on written approval

Submit the request and supporting information by the stated deadline. Use only the written approval or addendum recognized by those procurement documents; a supplier’s verbal approval does not revise them. The AIA A701 comparative reference illustrates a written prebid substitution process, not a deadline applicable to every project.
