AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS

A serious effort has been made to select materials that are systems that are readily available.

To the extent known at proposal time specified items are available or within a relatively short period of time. If during the proposal period, should an Offeror become aware of an availability or delivery issue with the specified systems or materials, it should notify Architect immediately.

In determining Selected Offeror, a Selection Committee will evaluate the information derived from Section 00 45 00 - Selection Criteria and Contractor Information.

Owner reserves the right to review the recommendation with Director of Maintenance and Operations and others deemed appropriate by Owner prior to review by entire Board.

USE OF ASBESTOS FREE MATERIALS, PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS

Offeror shall consider the use of asbestos free material requirements in preparing its Proposal including requirements during performance of the work regarding the use of asbestos free materials, products, and systems in Project.

Since many materials, products and systems are proprietary, it is not possible to know the specific materials or components that produce each material, product or system without the manufacturer divulging trade secrets or patent information. Every effort has been made to specify materials, products, or systems, which do not contain asbestos.

It is Contractor’s responsibility to submit an affidavit from the manufacturer to ascertain that every material, product or system used in the Project does not contain asbestos. In the event a material, product, or system is found to contain asbestos, Contractor shall offer for Architect’s consideration a substitution which it knows does not contain asbestos.

Although a material, product, or system is specified or a specification is based on a specific material, product, or system, Contractor is not to be relieved from its responsibility to ascertain that materials, products, and systems used in Project do not contain asbestos. Under no circumstances shall a material, product, or system which is known, suspected, or found to contain asbestos be used in Project.

If a material, product, or system containing asbestos is used, Contractor shall remove and replace the material, product, or system with a comparable or better asbestos free material at no expense to Owner, including removal and replacement of other materials affected by the removal of the asbestos containing material, product or system, i.e.
