SECTION 01 25 13 - PRODUCT SUBSTITUTION PROCEDURES

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 WORK INCLUDED

A. This document describes the requirements for submission of product information and procedures for consideration of substitutions by Owner, including products proposed to be used by Contractor under "or equal" or "acceptable alternate" provisions.

B. Where equipment, materials or process have been specifically named, it is the intention of the Engineer to use these items. If a Contractor desires to have an alternate considered, they are to provide the following information. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to convince the Engineer that the alternate materials are equal and will perform the intended function at or above that of the specified equipment. The burden of proof is on the

Contractor to convince the Engineer that the product is equal for the purpose of a particular function.

C. Substitution or Alternative Product Options: The alternative materials shall be submitted to Engineer no less than 10 business days before the bid opening. Engineer shall evaluate the materials, and if Engineer approves the substitution, an addendum shall be issued allowing the equipment alternatives.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. The word “Products,” as used herein, is defined to include purchased items form incorporation into the work, regardless of whether specifically purchased for the project or taken from Contractor’s stock of previously purchased products. The word “Materials,” is defined as products which must be substantially cut, shaped, worked, mixed, finished, refined, or otherwise fabricated, processed, installed, or applied to form units of work. The word “Equipment” is defined as products with operation parts, regardless of whether motorized or manually operated, and particularly including products with service connections (wiring, piping, and other like items). Definitions in this paragraph are not intended to negate the meaning of other terms used in the Contract Documents, including

“specialties”, “system”, “structure”, “finishes”, “accessories”, “furnishings”, “special construction”, and similar items, which are self-explanatory and have recognized meanings in the construction industry.

B. Neither “Products” nor “Materials” nor “Equipment” includes machinery and equipment used for preparation, fabrication, conveying and erection of the Goods.

1.3 CONTRACTOR’S OPTIONS

A. For products specified only by reference standards, select any product meeting standards, by any manufacturer.

B. For products specified by naming several products or manufacturers, select any product and manufacturer named.

1. “Or-Equal” Items: if in the Engineer’s sole judgment an item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that no change in related work will be required, it may be considered by the Engineer as an “or-equal” item, in which case review and approval of the proposed item may in the Engineer’s sole discretion, be accomplished without compliance with some or all of the requirements for approval of proposed substitute items. For the purpose of the paragraph, a proposed item of material or equipment will be considered functionally equal to an item so named if:

a. It is at least equal in quality, durability, appearance, strength and design characteristics.

b. It will reliably perform at least equally well the function imposed by the design concept of the complete project as a functioning whole;

c. There is no increase in cost to the Owner, and

d. It will conform to the detailed requirements of the item named in the

1.4 SUBSTITUTIONS

A. If in the Engineer’s sole judgment an item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an “or-equal” item, it will be considered a proposed substitute item and subject to the review process.

B. If Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, Contractor shall first make written application to the Engineer for review of a proposed substitute item of material or equipment. The application shall certify that the proposed substitute will adequately perform the function and achieve the results called for by the general design, be similar in substance to the specified and be suited to the same use that is specified.

C. The procedure for review by the Engineer will include the following:

1. If the Contractor wishes to provide a substitution item, the Contractor shall make written application to the Engineer.

2. Unless otherwise provided by law or authorized in writing by the Engineer, the request shall be submitted within a 35-day period after award of the Contract.

PRODUCT SUBSTITUTION PROCEDURES 01 25 13 - 3

4. The Engineer will evaluate each proposed substitution within a reasonable period of time.

5. As applicable, no shop drawing submittals shall be made for a substitution item nor shall any substitution item be ordered, installed, or utilized without the

Engineer’s prior written acceptance of the Contractor’s request.

6. The Engineer will record the time required by the Engineer in evaluating substitutions proposed by the Contractor and in making changes by the Contractor in Contract Documents occasioned thereby.

D. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as provided below to allow the Engineer to determine that the item of material or equipment proposed is essentially equivalent to that named and therefore an acceptable substitute, therefore.
