01010.1.05 EQUAL OR APPROVED EQUAL
A. In the various detailed sections of the Specifications, where any item of material or equipment is
specified by proprietary name, trade name, and/or name of one or more manufacturers, without
the addition of such expressions as "or equal", it is to be understood that these items are so
specified for reasons of standardization or for special requirements of the job. For items so
specified, no substitute products will be acceptable.
B. In the various detailed sections of the Specifications, where any item of equipment is specified by
proprietary name, trade name, and/or name of one or more manufacturers, with the additions of
such expressions as "or equal", it is to be understood that equal quality equipment or products, of
either a manufacturer named or of a manufacturer not named, which meet the detailed
requirements of the specifications, are intended and are subject to the acceptance of ENGINEER
as to the equality thereof. It is distinctly understood that: (1) ENGINEER is to use his own
judgment in determining whether or not any item of equipment or product proposed is equal to
that specified; (2) the decision of AUTHORITY on all such questions of equality shall be final;
and (3) in the event of any adverse decision by ENGINEER, no claim of any sort shall be made or
allowed against ENGINEER or AUTHORlTY.
C. If, in normally rare occurrences, it becomes necessary (because of delays in delivery, strikes,
discontinuance of the manufacture of items specified or the equal thereof, or any other similar
reasons) for CONTRACTOR to request the use of any item of equipment or product which is of a
different type than the equipment or product specified, or the approved equal thereof, ENGINEER
at his discretion, may authorize the use of such different type equipment or product of the same,
greater or less cost than that specified.
D. In such cases as described in Paragraphs Band C above, CONTRACTOR shall submit to
ENGINEER in writing (I) his request for permission to make a substitution, (2) a complete
description of the proposed item, including dimensions, operational characteristics, changes (if
any) that will be required to other related parts of the work, etc., and (3) full information as to the
costs of the item specified, the cost of the different type item being proposed, as well as costs
(additional or credits) or changes (if any) to any related parts of the work. Such information shall
be in such form and detail as to permit ENGINEER to check, to his satisfaction, the reason and
costs involved.
E. If any submitted equipment necessitates changing electrical, water, gas, vacuum, air or other
utility services from the sizes, capacities, configurations and locations shown on the Drawings, it
shall be CONTRACTOR's responsibility to bear the construction cost of all changes. It shall also
be CONTRACTOR's responsibility to bear the cost of engineering fees to analyze, design, specifY
and formulate the construction changes necessitated by the proposed deviations from the specified
equipment and/or the Drawings.
F. The decision of ENGINEER, from time to time, as to the proper credits to be allowed
AUTHORlTY or proper payments to be made to CONTRACTOR, shall be final and conclusive
upon CONTRACTOR.
