Not applicable.

03.01 PRODUCT SUBSTITUTION

A. Pre-Bid Acceptance of Alternate Manufacturer.

1. Submit requests for substitution to Engineer no later than 10 days prior to bid date.

Include complete information including manufacturer’s literature, references on similar projects, test data, samples if appropriate or requested, and a letter detailing how the proposed product differs from that specified.

2. Requests for substitution will be evaluated based on proven equivalent performance and/or appearance, availability, durability, cost of maintenance and service, and long-term value to the Owner. The Engineer’s judgment in these matters is final.
