Date of the Agreement. The procedure for submission of any such application by Contractor and

other persons and organizations proposed for those portions of the Work for which such
identification is required. Such list shall be accompanied by an experience statement with pertinent
information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such

due investigation has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or
organization, either may before the Notice of Award is given request the apparent Successful Bidder
to submit an acceptable substitute in which case the apparent Successful Bidder shall submit an
acceptable substitute without an increase in Bid price. If apparent Successful Bidder declines to
make any such substation, Owner may award the contract to the next lowest Bidder that proposes
to use acceptable Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations. The declining to
make requested substitutions will not constitute grounds for sacrificing the Bid security of any
Bidder. Any Subcontractors, Supplier, other person or organization listed and to whom Owner or
Engineer does not make 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
