Revised July 17. 2026 Page 15
D. Notification of the submitted data for consideration of "as-equal" to the equipment specified herein will be by Larry Rodgers Design Group three days prior to the bid opening. The “Or Equal” judgment has been addressed at the Federal 1st Circuit Court in the case of Whitten Corp. vs. Paddock Inc. April 12, 1974.
The case noted 4 major rulings regarding specifications: 1) the court ruled that “proprietary specifications are not a violation of anti-trust laws”. Further, the court stated that “trained professionals”, i.e. specifiers, “make informed judgments on products which they feel best serve the clients needs”. 2) The court ruled that other suppliers or manufacturers can qualify as “Or Equal” only when the specifier chooses to waive specifications or permit those suppliers or manufacturers to bid. It clearly states that the specifying source is charged with the responsibility and judgment for determining whether a proposed substitution is an “Or Equal”. 3) The specifier “may waive specifications in order to obtain a more desirable product for the client”. 4) “The burden is on the supplier or manufacturer who has not been specified to convince the specifier that their product is equal or better for the purpose of a particular project.”
E. The specific materials to be used will be as designated on the plan or in the bid schedule of Unit Prices. All materials to be incorporated in this will be new and of the best quality, meeting the requirements for such materials and for the purpose intended.
F. After the product has been approved, the contractor will use the same brand equipment consistently throughout the contract.
