9. Shop drawings and submittals showing manufacturer's product data shall contain detailed dimensional drawings, accurate and complete description of materials of construction, manufacturer's published performance characteristics and capacity ratings (performance data, alone, is not acceptable), electrical requirements and wiring diagrams. Drawings shall clearly indicate location (terminal block or wire number), voltage and function for all field terminations, and other information necessary to demonstrate compliance with all requirements of Contract Documents.

10. Provide shop drawing submittals showing details of piping connections to ALL equipment. If connection details are not submitted and connections are found to be installed incorrectly in the field, this contractor shall reinstall them within the original contract price.

D. Acceptable Manufacturers

1. The Engineer’s mechanical/electrical design for each product is based on the manufacturer listed in the schedule or shown on the drawings. In Part 2 of the specifications certain Alternate Manufacturers are listed as being acceptable.

The listing of a manufacturer as acceptable does not imply automatic approval. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that any submittals made are for products that meet or exceed the specifications included herein. These are acceptable only if, as a minimum, they:

a. Meet all performance criteria listed in the schedules and outlined in the specification. For example, to be acceptable, an air-handling unit must deliver equal CFM against equal external static pressure using equal or fewer horsepower as the air handler listed in the schedules.

b. Have identical operating characteristics to those called for in the specification. For example, a two-stroke diesel generator will not be acceptable if a four-stroke model is specified.

c. Fit within the available space it was designed for, including space for maintenance and component removal, with no modification to either the space or the product. Clearances to walls, ceilings and other equipment will be at least equal to those shown on the design drawings. The fact that a manufacturer’s name appears as acceptable shall not be taken to mean that the Engineer has determined that the manufacturer’s products will fit within the available space - this determination is solely the responsibility of the contractor.

d. For rooftop mounted equipment and for equipment mounted in areas where structural matters are a consideration, the products must have a weight no greater than the product listed in the schedules or specifications.

e. Products must adhere to all architectural considerations including but not limited to: being of the same color as the product scheduled or specified, fitting within architectural enclosures and details, and for diffusers, lighting and plumbing fixtures - being the same size and of the same physical appearance as scheduled or specified products.

MECHANICAL & PLUMBING SUPPLEMENTAL REQUIREMENTS 230000.00 - 16

f. All equipment shall be labeled or listed by the National Board of Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) where such labeling or listing exists for such material.

g.

E. Required Use of Acceptable Manufacturers on this Project:

1. Substitution of products other than those of the Acceptable Manufacturers specified herein shall not be made. Only the specified items or the comparable product by one of the specified Alternate Manufacturers shall be submitted.

Products by other manufacturers shall not be used on this project.

2. Listing of a manufacturer's name for a particular material or piece of equipment does not imply acceptance of all of that manufacturer's products. Use of more than one manufacturer to supply any specific material or equipment shall have prior approval of the Architect/Engineer.

F. Deviations

1. Concerning deviations other than substitutions, proposed deviations from Contract Documents should be requested individually in writing whether deviations result from field conditions, standard shop practice, or other cause.

Submit letter with transmittal of submittals/shop drawings which flags the deviation to the attention of the Architect.

2. Without letters flagging the deviation to the Architect, it is possible that the Architect may not notice such deviation or may not realize its ramifications.

Therefore, if such letters are not submitted to the Architect, the contractor shall hold the Architect and his consultants harmless for any and all adverse consequences resulting from the deviations being implemented. This shall apply regardless of whether the Architect has reviewed or approved submittals/shop drawings containing the deviation, and will be strictly enforced.

3. Approval of proposed deviations, if any, will be made at the discretion of the Architect.

4. Where equipment or methods different than those specified are submitted by this Contractor and approved for use by the Engineer and Owner, the installation shall be in full conformance with the intent of these Contract Documents. All costs related to the use of the different method and/or equipment shall be paid by this Contractor.
