The use of certain preferred alternate products, including Whiterock wall coverings and Altro Aquarius safety flooring, is specified. The contractor will be responsible for coordinating all trades and must follow strict protocols regarding patient rights, confidentiality, and on-site safety. The state reserves the right to reject any and all proposals.
