AWARD OF SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OFTHE WORK
5.2.1 The Parties agree that it is in the best interests of both the Contractor and the State to determine and select subcontractors as soon as possible after the Contractor has been awarded the Project. Therefore, the Contractor agrees, to furnish to the State and the Architect in writing the names of the persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each of the principal portions of the Work within Ten (10) working days of award of the Project to Contractor. The State will reply within Ten (10) working days to the Contractor in writing stating whether or not the State, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity.
5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with any such proposed person or entity to whom the State has made reasonable objection under the provisions of Subparagraph 5.2.1 of these General Conditions. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom he has a reasonable objection.
5.2.3 If the State has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity, the Contractor shall submit a substitute to whom the State has no reasonable objection, and the Contract Sum shall be increased or decreased by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued; however, no increase in the Contract Sum shall be allowed for any such substitution unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in submitting names as required by Subparagraph 5.2.1. of these General Conditions.
5.2.4 The Contractor shall make no substitution for any Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected if the State makes a reasonable objection to such substitution.
Covered Contracts and Contractors If the Contract exceeds $100,000 and the Contractor employed more than 40 full-time employees on a single working day during the previous 12 months in Minnesota or in the state where it has its principal place of business, then the Contractor must comply with the requirements of Minn.
