TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF CASH ALLOWANCE SPECIFICATION.
A “Schedule of Allowances,” showing amounts included in Contract Sum, is included at the end of this Section
Coordinate allowance Work with related Work, to ensure that each selection is completely integrated and interfaced
with related Work. Requirements for the Work of allowances are shown and specified, to extent established by date
of Contract Documents; additional requirements are established by Change Order. At earliest possible date, advise
Architect of date each final allowance selection must be completed. Submit proposals for allowance Work as directed,
and in the manner specified for Change Orders. Indicate quantities, unit costs, total purchase amounts, taxes, delivery
charges and trade discounts. Where requested, furnish detailed breakdown of quantity survey. Contractor mark-up
on overrun of allowance purchases will be permitted where purchase amount exceeds established allowance by more
than 15 percent; otherwise, and except as otherwise indicated, amount of Change Order on each allowance will be
difference between purchase amount and allowance. Deliver excess materials of allowance Work to Owner's storage
