1.02 QUALIFICATIONS PACKAGE FOR NON-LISTED "PRIOR APPROVED EQUIVALENT"

PRODUCT CONSIDERATION

A.

Each qualification package shall be bound with protective cover, identified by specification section number and title, and the product manufacturer's name. The Bidder shall submit all qualification packages in a sealed, sturdy box or suitable container.

B. Qualification packages for non-listed "Prior Approved Equivalent" items shall include the following: (if an item does not apply, indicate so in the submittal):

1. Completed Substitution Request Form. A copy of which can be found attached to the end of this section.

2. A complete set of drawings, specifications, catalog cut sheets, and detailed descriptive material. This information shall identify all technical and performance requirements stipulated on each drawing and in each specification section. Include all items required for shop drawing review.

3. Provide marked-up product information showing side by side comparisons for both the specified products and proposed products.

4. Detailed information for all buy-out items such as hardware, motors, bearings, reducers, belts, sheaves, motor controllers and instrumentation.

5. Lists showing materials of construction of all components, including all buy-out items.

6. Manufacturers recommended spare parts, including all buy-out items.

7. Information on equipment field erection requirements including total weight of assembled components and weight of each sub-assembly.

Procedures

Resiliency Project (Sams Blvd.) 00 26 00 - 2

11. A list of all process, mechanical, electrical, and structural changes and requirements for incorporating the "Prior Approved Equivalent" into the project.

12. A listing of the manufacturer's history. Unless specified otherwise in applicable specification sections, manufacturer's history demonstrates a minimum of three (3) years’ experience and a minimum of three (3) successful installations of the size and complexity involved in this project.

13. Provide a complete installation list with contact names and telephone numbers.

14. Documentation easily identifying that the proposed substitution meets or exceeds the specified warranties.

C. Failure to furnish the preceding information at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of receipt of bids shall be cause for rejection of a proposed alternate item for use on this project.

D. No "Prior Approved Equivalent" items will be considered unless, in the opinion of the Architect or Engineer, they conform to the Contract Documents in all respects, except for make and manufacturer and minor details.

E. The Architect or Engineer shall be the sole authority for determining conformance of a proposed "Prior Approved Equivalent" item with the Contract Documents. Except for identification of non-compliance with the specifications, the Engineer will not be required to prove that a "Prior Approved Equivalent" item is not equal to "Basis of Bid" items.

F. Substitutions or modifications to the qualification package will not be considered after opening of Bids.

G. Acceptance of "Prior Approved Equivalent" items and their qualification packages, does not eliminate the need for shop drawing submittals and reviews during construction, nor does it eliminate the requirement that the seller satisfy the requirements of the Contract Documents.

1.03 BID REQUIREMENTS

A. Bidders proposing to furnish "Prior Approved Equivalent" items that require changes to the Contract Documents shall notify the Engineer in writing of all process, mechanical, electrical and structural changes and requirements for incorporating the "Prior Approved Equivalent" into the Project and shall reimburse the Owner for associated redesign costs. Redesign and contract drawing revisions to accommodate the "Prior Approved Equivalent" will be prepared by the Engineer during the shop drawing review process. Reimbursement shall be based on the Engineer's standard hourly rates plus reimbursable expenses at cost.
