<br />6.05 Substitutes and "Or-Equals"
<br />
<br />A. Whenever an item of material or equipment is
<br />specified or described in the Contract Documents by using
<br />the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular
<br />Supplier, the specification or description is intended to
<br />establish the type, function, appearance, and quality required.
<br />Unless the specification or description contains or is followed
<br />by words reading that no like, equivalent, or "or-equ.al" item
<br />or no substitution is permitted, other items of material or
<br />equipment or material or equipment of other Suppliers may
<br />be submitted to ENGINEER for review under the circum-
<br />stances described below.
<br />
<br />1. "Or-Equal" Items: If in ENGINEER's sole
<br />discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by
<br />CONTRACTOR is functionally equal to that named and
<br />sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will
<br />be required, it may be considered by ENGINEER as an
<br />"or-equal" item, in which case review and approval of
<br />the proposed item may, in ENGINEER's sole discretion,
<br />be accomplished without compliance with some or all of
<br />the requirements for approval of proposed substitute
<br />items. For the purposes of this paragraph 6.05.A.l, a
<br />proposed item of material or equipment will be
<br />considered functionally equal to an item so named if:
<br />
<br />a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment
<br />ENGINEER determines that: (i) it is at least equal in
<br />quality, durability, appearance, strength, and design
<br />characteristics; (ii) it will. reliably perform at least
<br />equally well the function imposed by the design
<br />concept of the completed Project as a functioning
<br />whole, and;
<br />
<br />b. CONTRACTOR certifies that: (i) there is no
<br />increase in cost to the OWNER; and (ii) it will
<br />conform substantially, even with deviations, to the
<br />detailed requirements of the item named in the
<br />Contract Documents.
<br />
