01 1100-2

1.03 EQUAL OR APPROVED EQUAL

A. In the various detailed sections of the Specifications, where any item of material or equipment is specified by proprietary name, trade name, and/or name of one or more manufacturers, without the addition of such expressions as “or equal”, it is to be understood that these items are so specified for reasons of standardization or for special requirements of the job. For items so specified, no substitute products will be acceptable.

B. In the various detailed sections of the Specifications, where any item of equipment is specified by proprietary name, trade name, and/or name of one or more manufacturers, with the additions of such expressions as "or equal", it is to be understood that equal quality equipment or products, of either a manufacturer named or of a manufacturer not named, which meet the detailed requirements of the specifications, are intended and are subject to the acceptance of the ENGINEER as to the equality thereof. It is distinctly understood that: (1) the ENGINEER is to use his own judgment in determining whether or not any item of equipment or product proposed is equal to that specified;

(2) the decision of the ENGINEER on all such questions of equality shall be final; and (3) in the event of any adverse decision by the ENGINEER, no claim of any sort shall be made or allowed against the ENGINEER or the OWNER.

C. If, subsequent to the award of the Contract, and in normally rare occurrences, it becomes necessary

(because of delays in delivery, strikes, discontinuance of the manufacture of items specified or the equal thereof, or any other similar reasons) for the CONTRACTOR to request the use of any item of equipment or product which is of a different type than the equipment or product specified, or the approved equal thereof, the ENGINEER at his discretion, may authorize the use of such different type equipment or product of the same, greater or less cost than that specified.

D. In such cases as described in Paragraphs B and C above, the CONTRACTOR shall submit to the

ENGINEER in writing (1) his request for permission to make a substitution, (2) a complete description of the proposed item, including dimensions, operational characteristics, changes (if any) that will be required to other related parts of the work, etc., and (3) full information as to the costs of the item specified, the cost of the different type item being proposed, as well as costs (additional or credits) or changes (if any) to any related parts of the work. Such information shall be in such form and detail as to permit the ENGINEER to check, to his satisfaction, the reason and costs involved. Upon acceptance of the substitution, in writing, the proper credits to be allowed the OWNER or the proper additional payments to be made to the CONTRACTOR represent the difference between the net cost to the CONTRACTOR of the substituted item or material and the price at which he could have obtained the lowest priced item or materials specified.

E. The decision of the ENGINEER, from time to time, as to the proper credits to be allowed by the

OWNER or proper payments to be made by the CONTRACTOR, shall be final and conclusive upon the CONTRACTOR.

1.04 PRIORITY OF AND DISCREPANCIES IN CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. If the Bidder or CONTRACTOR finds an error in or a discrepancy between any of the Contract

Documents, such error or discrepancy shall be immediately reported to the ENGINEER for correction. If found during the bidding period, the correction will be issued by Addendum, and if during the Contract period, by field order or change order, as appropriate. No work shall proceed which is affected by the discrepancy prior to the ENGINEER's resolution of the problem.

01 1100-3

B. In general, the plans and specifications are complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if required by all. All items necessary or incidental to completely construct or erect the work denoted shall be furnished as required to provide a complete operating facility whether specifically detailed by the plans and/or specifications or not.

C. Where dimensions or locations of existing facilities are of importance to the successful performance of any part of the work of this Contract, the CONTRACTOR shall verify the correctness of such dimension or location in the field before any other procedure, whether of manufacture of related equipment or construction of related structure, shall begin. Failure of the CONTRACTOR to follow the required verification procedure here specified shall cause him to waive all right to claim for additional cost by reason on the later discovery of inaccurate dimensions or locations of existing facilities as depicted in the Contract Documents.

D. Should a discrepancy be found to exist between the various Contract Documents, the following order of priority shall be followed in resolving the intent of the affected documents. In decreasing order of importance, the documents are the Specifications; Drawings; Supplementary Conditions.

Further, it shall be understood that, in all cases, calculated dimensions shall prevail over scaled dimensions, and larger-scale drawings shall take precedence over small-scale drawings.

1.05 PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING

A. A pre-construction meeting will be held after awarding of the contract but prior to CONTRACTOR's

Notice to Proceed. A tentative meeting is scheduled for April 17, 2026, at the City of Coatesville, One City Hall Place, Coatesville PA 19320.

B. CONTRACTOR will be notified of any changes to the date and time of this meeting and will be expected to attend with the designated Project Superintendent.

C. CONTRACTOR is required to submit a construction schedule showing the order in which the

In addition, the submittal number shall be written or typed in the lower right-hand corner of all copies of each shop drawing. The submittal numbering system should be the specification section number followed by the submittal number (i.e., 33 3113-1 Ductile Iron Pipe, 33 3113-2 PVC Pipe). Failure to include a cover sheet or not numbering submittals shall be grounds for rejection of the submittal by the ENGINEER. (See Attachment 1 at the end of this section).

01 3300-3

F. All data, drawings, and correspondence from subcontractors, material men, or suppliers shall be routed through the CONTRACTOR. This procedure is required so that the CONTRACTOR's superintendent can familiarize himself with all information which the CONTRACTOR sends to the ENGINEER and also to prevent the ENGINEER from taking action upon something other than that which is desired by the CONTRACTOR. The ENGINEER shall consider for review only such data and details as are verified and transmitted to him directly by the CONTRACTOR.

G. All correspondence between the ENGINEER and the CONTRACTOR, all shop drawings, and all data for review of drawings or materials will be handled by the ENGINEER. All such data shall be delivered directly to him at the ENGINEER's office. The replies pertaining to these matters will be delivered to the CONTRACTOR or the CONTRACTOR's representative at the job site.

H. A sufficient number of shop drawings and review data shall be submitted to the ENGINEER, who will retain four (4) copies of each submittal. All additional copies, up to a maximum of four (4), received by ENGINEER will be returned to the CONTRACTOR or CONTRACTOR’s representative at the job site. The ENGINEER's notations of the action which the ENGINEER has taken will be noted on all the returned copies. Sufficient time for the review of all shop drawing submittals shall be allowed in the CONTRACTOR's schedule. A minimum of two weeks shall be allotted for each shop drawing review.

ENGINEER. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish the ENGINEER with tabulated lists of such fabrications, showing the names of the manufacturers and catalog numbers, together with samples of general data as may be required to permit intelligent determination as to their acceptability for incorporation in the work.

J. Upon successful review by the ENGINEER of the shop drawings, data sheets, samples, other data, the fabrications furnished shall be in conformity with the same. The acceptance of the shop drawings, data sheets, samples or other data shall in no way release the CONTRACTOR from CONTRACTOR’s responsibility for the proper fulfillment, by any fabrication, of the requirements of the Agreement.

01 3300-4

K. All reviews of shop drawings, data sheets or literature are subject to the products fulfilling the specific requirements of the Drawings and Specifications. Review of items that do not conform in detail to the specified product shall place upon the CONTRACTOR the responsibility for successful operation of the proposed product. Should the item subsequently prove to be defective or otherwise unsatisfactory for the service for which it was intended, the CONTRACTOR shall, without cost to the OWNER and without obligation on the part of the ENGINEER, replace the item with the material originally specified. The ENGINEER's review of shop drawings or layout for any material, apparatus, or device shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from the responsibility of furnishing the same of proper dimension, size, quantity, quality, and all performance characteristics to efficiently perform the requirements and intent of the Contract Documents. Such review shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from responsibility for errors of any sort on the shop drawings. If the shop drawings deviate from the Contract Documents, the CONTRACTOR shall advise the ENGINEER of the deviations, in writing accompanying the shop drawings, including the reasons for the devia-tions, and shall request a deviation from the Contract Documents as hereinafter described.

L. The shop drawings are intended to be utilized by the CONTRACTOR for additional fabrication, assembly, and erection data. The shop drawings do not change or supersede the Drawings and Specifications except in specific cases when the CONTRACTOR requests, in writing, a deviation from the Drawings and Specifications. CONTRACTOR's request for a change shall give, in detail the specific change requested and shall state the reason for the change. Changes requested by the CONTRACTOR and reviewed by the ENGINEER shall not be construed to include acceptance of any change except the changed details specifically requested and accepted.

M. It shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to make all the necessary changes in other items, which result from deviations or changes requested by the CONTRACTOR and reviewed by the ENGINEER, so that all items perform the requirements and intent of the Contract Documents.

N. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish the number of samples required by individual sections of the

Specifications. Submit samples under separate transmittal letter with appropriate section and article number of the Specifications as identification. A separate transmittal letter is required for each sample submitted.

O. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish all certifications including Statements of Compliance, Installation Certificates, and certified test results as required by individual sections of the Specifications. Submit certificates under separate transmittal letter using the same numbering system as specified for shop drawings and product data.
