1.6 SUBSTITUTIONS
The use of manufacturers' names and catalog numbers followed by the phrase "or equal" is generally used to establish a standard of quality and utility for the specified items and to provide a dimensional reference for construction documents that are drawn to scale.
Submittals for "equal" items shall, where applicable, include the following data which are not necessarily required for specified items:
Quality
Durability
Performance characteristics.
Materials.
Finish.
Warranty
Certification of conformance with specified codes and standards.
Manufacturer's specifications and other data needed to prove compliance with the specified requirements. The term "Compliance" is understood to mean that the Contractor certifies that the submitted equipment will meet or exceed the contract document requirements. Items that do not clearly meet this definition should be identified and explained as required in Paragraph 6 below.
Identify the difference between the specified item or function and the proposed. Explain with enough detail so that the Architect/ Engineer/Owner can easily determine that the item complies with the functional intent. List any disadvantages or advantages of the proposed item versus the specified item. Submit technical data sheets and/or pictures and diagrams to support and clarify. Include shop drawings for all piping and ductwork equipment per Paragraph 1.5 Submittals. Organize in a clear and concise format.
C. Submittals of "equal" components or systems may be rejected if:
1. The material or equipment would necessitate the alteration of any portion of the mechanical, electrical, architectural or structural design.
2. Dimensions vary from the specified material or equipment in such a manner that accessibility or clearances are impaired or the work of other trades is adversely affected.
Proposed substitutions for materials or equipment must be noted in Contractor's proposal. Substitutions later may be rejeted by owner without additional cost.
No substitution shall be made unless authorized in writing by Construction Manager and/or the Architect. Should a substitution be accepted, and should the substitute material prove defective or otherwise unsatisfactory for the service intended, and within the guarantee period, the Contractor shall replace this material or equipment with material or equipment specified, at his own expense, and to the satisfaction of the Architect/Construction Mgr.
Contractors submitting bids on substitute materials and equipment must also provide a written performance guarantee certifying that the substitute materials and equipment will produce the specified effects and meet the approval of the Architect.
