<br />3.7 Approved Equal
<br />
<br />3.7.1 Whenever in the Contract Documents any article, appliance, device, or material is
<br />designated by the name of a manufacturer, vendor, or by any proprietary or trade name,
<br />the words "or approved equal," shall automatically follow and shall be implied unless
<br />specifically indicated otherwise. The standard products of manufacturers other than those
<br />specified will be accepted when, prior to the ordering or use thereof, it is proven to the
<br />satisfaction of the City's Representative and the AlE they are equal in design,
<br />appearance, spare parts availability, strength, durability, usefulness, serviceability,
<br />operation cost, maintenance cost, and convenience for the purpose intended. Any
<br />general listings of approved manufacturers in any Contract Document shall be for
<br />informational purposes only and it shall be the Contractor's sole responsibility to ensure
<br />that any proposed "or equal" complies with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
<br />
<br />3.7.2 The Contractor shall submit to AlE and City's Representative a written and full description
<br />of the proposed "or equal" including all supporting data, including technical information,
<br />catalog cuts, warranties, test results, installation instructions, operating procedures, and
<br />similar information demonstrating that the proposed "or equal" strictly complies with the
<br />Contract Documents. The AlE or City's Representative shall take appropriate action with
<br />respect to the submission of a proposed "or equal" item. If Contractor fails to submit
<br />proposed "or equals" as set forth herein, it shall waive any right to supply such items.
<br />The Contract Sum and Contract Time shall not be adjusted as a result of any failure by
<br />Contractor to submit proposed "or equals" as provided for herein. All documents
<br />submitted in connection with preparing an "or equal" shall be clearly and obviously
<br />marked as a proposed "or equal" submission.
<br />
<br />3.7.3 No approvals or action taken by the AlE or City's Representative shall relieve Contractor
<br />from its obligation to ensure that an "or equal" article, appliance, devise or material strictly
<br />complies with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not propose
<br />"or equal" items in connection with Shop Drawings or other Submittals, and Contractor
<br />acknowledges and agrees that no approvals or action taken by the AlE or City's
<br />Representative with respect to Shop Drawings or other Submittals shall constitute
<br />approval of any "or equal" item or relieve Contractor from its sole and exclusive
<br />responsibility. Any changes required in the details and dimensions indicated in the
<br />Contract Documents for the incorporation or installation of any "or equal" item supplied by
<br />the Contractor shall be properly made and approved by the AlE at the expense of the
<br />Contractor. No 'or equal' items will be permitted for components of or extensions to
<br />existing systems when, in the opinion of the AlE, the named manufacturer must be
<br />provided in order to ensure compatibility with the existing systems, including, but not
<br />limited to, mechanical systems, electrical systems, fire alarms, smoke detectors, etc. No
<br />action will be taken by the AlE with respect to proposed "or equal" items prior to receipt of
<br />bids, unless otherwise noted in the Special Conditions.
