Section 01 25 00 Substitution Procedures

This section outlines the restrictions and requirements for substitutions, product and manufacturer options, and construction method options.

1.2 Definitions

A. For the purposes of these Contract Documents, a “substitute item” shall be defined as one of the following:

1. A product or manufacturer offered as a replacement to a specified product or manufacturer.

2. A product or manufacturer offered in addition to a specified product or manufacturer.

B. For the purposes of these Contract Documents, a “substitute construction method” shall be defined as one of the following:

1. A mean, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction offered as a replacement for a specified mean, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction.

2. A mean, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction offered in addition to a specified mean, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction.

1.3 General

A. An item or construction method, which is offered where no specific product, manufacturer, mean, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is specified or shown on the Drawings, shall not be considered a substitute and shall be at the option of the Contractor, subject to the provisions in the Contract Documents for that item or construction method.

B. For products specified only by a referenced standard, the Contractor may select any product by any manufacturer, which meets the requirements of the Specifications, unless indicated otherwise in the Contract Documents.

C. If the manufacturer is named on the Drawings or in the Specifications as an acceptable manufacturer, products of that manufacturer meeting all requirements of the Specifications and Drawings are acceptable.

D. Whenever the Engineer's design is based on a specific product of a particular manufacturer, that manufacturer will be shown on the Drawings and/or listed first in the list of approved manufacturers in the Specifications. Any Bidder intending to furnish products of other than the first listed manufacturer, or furnish substitute items, shall:

26-35 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Resiliency Project Additional Filters Page 69 of 1045

01 25 00 - 2

1. Verify that the item being furnished will fit in the space allowed, perform the same functions and have the same capabilities as the item specified,

2. Include in its Bid the cost of all accessory items which may be required by the other listed substitute product,

3. Include the cost of any architectural, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical or other modifications required, and

4. Include the cost of required additional work by the Engineer, if any, to accommodate the item.

1.4 Approvals

Approval, of a substitution as an acceptable manufacturer, of the Engineer is dependent on determination that the product offered is essentially equal in function, performance, quality of manufacture, ease of maintenance, reliability, service life and other criteria to that on which the design is based; and will require no major modifications to structures, electrical systems, control systems or piping systems.

1.5 Substitutions and Options

A. After Notice to Proceed

1. Substitute items will be considered only if the term “equal to” precedes the names of acceptable manufacturers in the Specification.

2. Where items are specified by referenced standard or specified as indicated in

Article 1.3, Paragraph B above, such items shall be submitted to the Engineer for review.

3. The Contractor shall submit shop drawings on the substitute item for the

Engineer's review in accordance with Section 01 33 00.

4. No substitutions will be considered for the manufacturers listed in the Bid.

B. Prior to Opening of Bids

1. No consideration or approvals will be made for products specified by a referenced standard, or specified as indicated in Article 1.3, Paragraph B, above. Such consideration may occur only after the Notice to Proceed.

2. No consideration or approvals will be made for products being offered where the term “equal to” precedes the name of an approved product. Such substitution consideration may occur only after the Notice to Proceed.

3. If the term “or equal” follows the names of acceptable manufacturers, then other manufacturers desiring approval as an acceptable manufacturer may submit the product information to the Engineer for approval during the bidding phase, as

26-35 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Resiliency Project Additional Filters Page 70 of 1045

01 25 00 - 3 indicated below. With the exception of where the phrase “no substitutions” is associated with a list of manufacturers, where a list of acceptable manufacturers is not preceded by the phrase “equal to”, the list of acceptable manufacturers shall be considered as having the phrase “or equal” following the list, and the list being subject to the “or equal” provisions of this section.

4. The manufacturer shall include the following items in its “or equal” submittal:

a. Descriptive literature including information on materials used, minimum design standards, standard design features, manufacturing processes and facilities, and similar information which will indicate experience and expertise in the manufacture of the product being evaluated.

b. Performance specifications applicable to the manufacturer's standard design which indicates the level of performance to be expected from the product.

c. A complete set of submittal drawings of similar products which have been completed and placed into operation.

d. A list of existing installations of products similar in type and size, information required to satisfy specified experience requirements, or a copy of the bond to be submitted in lieu of experience.

e. Evidence of technical ability of the manufacturer to design and manufacture products meeting Project requirements.

f. Evidence submitted shall include, as a minimum, descriptions of engineering and manufacturing staff capabilities.

g. A copy of the manufacturer's most recent annual business report. Include a statement comparing the present net worth of the manufacturer in comparison to the total value of all products proposed to be furnished. Net worth must exceed the total value of all products proposed.

h. A complete description of field service capabilities, including the location of field service facilities which would serve the proposed facility and the number and qualifications of personnel working from that location.

i. A complete list of all requirements of the Drawings and Specifications with which the manufacturer cannot conform, including reasons why alternate features are considered equivalent.

j. If descriptive literature or drawings illustrate standard products with design features or materials not in compliance with Project requirements then these exceptions must be specifically listed. Failure to do so will indicate intent by the manufacturer to modify design features and alter materials to meet Project requirements.

k. Where additional information is submitted to supplement the submittal, all changes to the list of exceptions shall be specifically noted.

26-35 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Resiliency Project Additional Filters Page 71 of 1045

01 25 00 - 4

l. All other information necessary to fully evaluate the product for consideration.

5. This “or equal” submittal shall reach the Engineer no later than 15 days prior to the

Bid date. Submittals which do not include a complete list of exceptions to Project requirements, or the statement “No exceptions to the Specifications will be taken”, will automatically be rejected by the Engineer. Manufacturers will be advised of approval or rejection in writing no later than 10 days prior to the Bid date. Rejected submittals may be supplemented with additional information and resubmitted no later than five days prior to the Bid date.
