B. Standards: Refer to Section “Codes and Standards” for applicability of industry standards to products specified.

1.03 DEFINITIONS

A. Definitions used in this Article are not intended to change or modify the meaning of other terms used in the Contract Documents.

B. Substitutions: Requests for changes in products, materials, equipment, and methods of construction required by Contract Documents proposed by the Contractor after award of the Contract are considered requests for “substitutions.” The following are not considered substitutions:

1. Revisions to Contract Documents requested by the Owner or Designer.

B. The Engineer has endeavored to specify materials, products and assemblies which are totally free of asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or other similar materials believed to endanger the health and safety of construction workers and future building occupants.

However, manufacturers' information and other data normally furnished to the Engineer by producers of building material products and systems do not always contain accurate, complete, or appropriate information for the Engineer to properly evaluate each product.

01 2500-1

P a g e | 23

C. It shall therefore be a requirement of these Contract Documents that neither the Contractor, nor their material suppliers, nor their Subcontractors install or otherwise incorporate any materials containing asbestos, PCB or other hazardous materials within the boundaries of the Project. No soil found on site, or transported to the site from remote locations, which is contaminated with material containing asbestos, PCB, Radon, gasoline, fuel oil, diesel fuel or other similar fossil fuels shall be used to fill backfill or landscape topsoil.

D. The Contractor shall require that each of their Subcontractors and material suppliers warrants to City and Engineer, that all materials, products, and assemblies incorporated, or submitted for incorporation into this Project, are totally free of asbestos, PCB, or other such hazardous materials. This warranty shall include all materials, products and assemblies specified and otherwise required in the Contract Documents. This warranty shall also include all materials, components and accessories not specifically enumerated or detailed in these Contract Documents, but which are required by performance specifications or recommended by manufacturers for complete installation of materials, products, and assemblies. If the Contractor or their Subcontractors or material suppliers have knowledge that, or believe that an item, component, material or accessory within a product or assembly may contain asbestos, PCB or other such hazardous material, it is the Contractor's sole responsibility to secure a written certification from the manufacturer of any suspected material stating this material is totally free of asbestos, PCB or other hazardous materials.

E. A copy of the Products that are specified by reference standards or in descriptive manner without a manufacturer's name, model number or trade name, shall be selected by the Contractor, shall comply with all specified requirements, and shall not contain asbestos, PCB or other hazardous materials in any form.

Documents, make request for clarification before proceeding. Maintain a copy of manufacturer's instructions at Project site.

B. Comply with industry standards except when specified tolerances indicate more rigid standards or more precise workmanship. Perform work by qualified people to produce workmanship of specified quality.

C. Join materials to uniform, accurate fit to meet with straight lines free of smears and overlaps. Install exposed materials appropriately level, plumb, and at accurate right angles or flush with adjoining materials. Attach materials with sufficient strength, number, and spacing of attachments that will not fail until materials joined are broken or permanently deformed.

1.06 CONTRACTOR'S OPTIONS

A. For products specified only by reference standard or description, provide any product meeting specifications.

B. For products specified by naming one or more products or manufacturers, request for substitution for any product not named is required

The Contractor shall assume full responsibility to assure that the manufacturer provides materials and equipment conforming to indicated and specified requirements. Reasonable minor variations in equipment due to manufacturing methods are expected and will be acceptable;

however, indicated, and specified performance and material requirements are minimum. The Engineer reserves the right to determine equality of equipment that deviates from any of the indicated and specified requirements.

E. Naming any manufacturer does not imply approval of that manufacturer's noncom- forming products.

F. The Contractor shall include in the Work; the materials, products and equipment named in the Contract Documents by trade name, proprietary name or manufacturer's catalog numbers, including any specified modifications thereto unless proposed substitutions are approved in writing by the Design Team.

E. Substitute products shall not be installed without an Engineer’s written acceptance or prior approval.

F. Where the shop drawings, product data and/or samples as submitted by Contractor indicate a departure from the Contract which Engineer deems to be a minor adjustment in the interest of Owner, not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time, Engineer will approve the data/drawing, but the approval will contain, in substance, the following notation:

"The modification shown on the attached data/drawings is approved in the interest of Owner to effect an improvement for the Project and is accepted with the understanding that it does not involve any change in the Contract Price or Contract Time; that it is subject generally to all Contract stipulations and covenants; and that it is without prejudice to any and all rights of Owner under the Contract and Bond or Bonds."
