A. General. - Material and equipment incorporated into the work shall conform to applicable specifications and standards and comply with size, make, type and quality specified, or as specifically approved in writing by the COR. Manufactured and fabricated products shall be designed, fabricated and assembled in accordance with the best engineering and shop practices.

Like parts of duplicate units shall be manufactured to standard sizes and gages and shall be interchangeable. Two or more items of the same kind shall be identical and manufactured by the same manufacturer. Products shall be suitable for service conditions. Equipment capacities, sizes and dimensions shown or specified shall be adhered to unless variations are specifically approved in writing. Do not use material or equipment for any purpose other than for which it is designed or specified. Furnish and install products specified, under options and conditions for substitution stated in this section.

1. Manufacturer's instructions.- When contract documents require that installation of work shall comply with manufacturer's printed instructions, copies of such instructions shall be distributed to parties involved in the installation, including two copies to the COR. Maintain one set of complete instructions at the job site during installation and until completion.

Products shall be handled, installed, connected, cleaned and conditioned in strict accordance with such instructions and in conformity with specified requirements. If job conditions or specified requirements conflict with manufacturer's instructions, the contractor shall consult with the COR for further instructions. All work shall be performed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. No preparatory step or installation procedure shall be omitted unless specifically modified or exempted by contract documents.

2. Transportation and handling. - Products shall be delivered in undamaged condition, in manufacturer's original containers or packing, with identifying labels intact and legible.

Shipments shall be inspected to ensure compliance with requirements of contract documents and approved submittals, and products are properly protected and undamaged immediately on delivery. Provide equipment and personnel to handle products by methods to prevent soiling or damage to products or packing.

3. Storage. - Unless specified, products shall be stored in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, with seals and labels intact and legible. Products subject to damage by the elements shall be stored in weather tight enclosures.

4. Temperature. - Temperature and humidity shall be maintained within the ranges required by the manufactures instructions. Fabricated products shall be stored above the ground, on blocking or skids to prevent soiling or staining. Products which are subject to deterioration shall be covered with impervious sheet coverings and adequate ventilation shall be provided to avoid condensation.

5. Substitutions. - A separate request for each substitution shall be submitted. Each request shall be supported with complete data substantiating compliance of proposed substitution with the requirements stated in the contract documents. Each request shall include product identification, manufacturer's literature including address, product description, reference standards and performance and test data. Samples shall be submitted as applicable. An

MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT 01651- 1

itemized comparison of the proposed substitution with the product specified shall be included.

The following information shall also be included: data relating to changes in the construction schedule; list of changes required in other work or products; and accurate cost data.

Substitute products shall not be ordered or installed without written acceptance. In making a formal request for substitution, the contractor represents that he has investigated the proposed products and has determined that it is equal to or superior in all respects to that specified.

The contractor ascertains that he will provide same warranties or bonds for substitutions as for product specified. That he will coordinate installation of accepted substitution into work to be complete in all respects; that he waives claims for additional costs caused by substitution which may subsequently become apparent; and that cost data is complete and includes related costs under his contract. Primarily, an “or equal” product will not be considered a substitution. If an actual substitution is accepted, it shall be done only by formal contract modification and not by a submittal approval.
