PARAGRAPH 15.1 - SUBSTITUTION OF MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT:

When reference is made in the Contract Documents to trade names or to names of manufacturers, such references are made solely to designate and identify the quality of materials or equipment to be furnished and are not intended to restrict competitive bidding. If it is desired to use materials or equipment of trade names or of manufacturer's names which are different from those mentioned in the Contract Documents, application for approval of the use of the specified materials or the specified items of equipment as manufactured by firms other than those named in the Contract Documents, must reach the hands of the

Architect at least Ten (10) days prior to the date for the opening of Bids. The burden of proving quality of a proposed substitute to an item designated by trade name or by a manufacturer's name in the contract rests on the party submitting the request for approval.

The written application for approval of a proposed substitute must be accompanied by technical data which the party requesting approval desires to submit in support of his application. The Architect will give consideration to reports from reputable independent testing laboratories, verified experience records showing the reputation of the proposed product with previous users, or any other written information that is reasonable in the circumstances. The application to the Architect for approval of a proposed substitute must be accompanied by a schedule setting forth in what respects the materials or equipment submitted for consideration differ from the materials or equipment designated in the Contract Documents. The degree of proof required for approval of a proposed substitute as equal to a named product is that amount of proof necessary to convince a reasonable person beyond all doubt. To be acceptable, a proposed substitute must, in addition, meet or exceed requirements of the Contract Documents. If the submittal is approved by the

Architect, an Addendum will be issued to all prospective bidders at least ten (10) days prior to the date set for the opening of bids. In the event a submittal shall have been rejected by the Architect, and there shall have been a request for a conference as provided in this article pursuant to which conference the said submittal shall have been found to be an equal to the specified item, separate Addendum covering the said submittal will be issued prior to the opening of bids.

In order for the Architect to prepare an Addendum intelligently, the application for approval of the substitute must be accompanied by a copy of the manufacturer's published recommendations for use and installation of the product together with a complete schedule of changes in the drawings and specifications, if any, which must be made in other work in order to permit the use and installation of the proposed substitute in accordance with recommendations of the manufacturer of the product. Unless requests for changes are received and approvals are published by Addendum in accordance with the above procedure, the successful bidder shall be held responsible for furnishing items and materials of the trade name or manufacturer's names called for in the specifications.

Any party who alleges that rejection of a proposed substitute is the result of bias, prejudice, caprice, or an error on the part of the Architect, may request a conference with a representative of the Owner and the Architect, provided: "That the request for said conference, submitted in writing, shall have reached the Owner at least ten (10) days prior to the date set for the opening of bids, time being of the essence."
