LEGAL RIGHT TO SPECIFY The Fire Department (for the remainder of this section referred to as the "specifier") chooses to exercise its Legal Right to Specify as determined by the U.S. Supreme Court's affirmation of the decision handed down in the case of Whitten Corp. vs. Paddock by the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the First Federal District Court, which in effect states: 1) That as trained professionals, specifiers make informed judgments on products that they feel best serve their needs. Also, that proprietary specifications (if chosen) DO NOT violate any antitrust laws. Technically, very few brands of material or equipment are exactly alike, and if the specifier wants to limit the specification to one source. he has the right to do so and enforce it. • 2) Only the specifier has the responsibility and judgment for determining whether a proposed substitution is an "or equal". 3) That from start to finish in the purchasing process, only the specifier can ultimately decide if another desirable product is available in lieu of the specification. 4) Finally, that the courts concluded, "The burden is on the supplier or manufacturer, who has NOT been specified. to convince the specifier that their product is equal for the purpose of a particular project". The specifier has determined that this product specification shall represent the product to which all offerings shall be compared. Due to the fact that firefighting is an ULTRAHAZARDOUS, UNAVOIDABLY DANGEROUS activity, only trained Fire Department personnel with specific knowledge in the area of Personal Protective Equipment shall be allowed to make the final determining decision on the selection of the appropriate product to serve the Fire Department's needs.

Cordray, Clerk -Treasurer Publication Dates: July 9 and July 16th 0 0 0 Detailed Technical Specifications for Protective Clothing for Structural Firefighting Coat and Pant Bloodborne Pathogen Resistant Carmel Fire Dept 2 Carmel Civic Square Carmel, IN 46032 0 0 O This specification dated July 1, 2008 supersedes modifies and replaces all previous editions. 0 LEGAL RIGHT TO SPECIFY The Fire Department (for the remainder of this section referred to as the "specifier') chooses to exercise its Legal Right to Specify as determined by the U.S. Supreme Court's affirmation of the decision handed down in the case of Whitten Corp. vs. Paddock, by the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the First Federal District Court, which in effect states: 1) That as trained professionals, specifiers make informed judgments on products that they feel best serve their needs. Also, that proprietary specifications (if chosen) DO NOT violate any antitrust laws. Technically, very few brands of material or equipment are exactly alike and if the Specifier wants to limit the specification to one source, he has the right to do so and enforce it. 2) Only the specifier has the responsibility and judgment for determining whether a proposed substitution is an "or equal". 3) That from start to finish in the purchasing process, only the specifier can ultimately decide if another desirable product is available in lieu of the specification. 4) Finally, that the courts concluded, "The burden is on the supplier or manufacturer, who has NOT been specified, to convince the specifier that their product is equal for the purpose of a particular project". The specifier has determined that this product specification shall represent the product to which all offerings shall be compared. Due to the fact that firefighting is an ULTRAHAZARDOUS, UNAVOIDABLY DANGEROUS activity, only trained Fire Department personnel with specific knowledge in the area of Personal Protective Equipment shall be allowed to make the final determining decision on the selection of the appropriate product to serve the Fire Department's needs.

RECEIVED TIME JUL. 9. 10, 05PM 07-09-2008 22:10 PRGE11 LEGAL RIGHT TO SPECIFY The Fire Department (for the remainder of this section referred to as the "specifier") chooses to exercise its Legal Right to Specify as determined by the U.S. Supreme Court's affirmation of the decision handed down in the case of Whitten Corp. vs. Paddock, by the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the First Federal District Court, which in effect states: 1) That as trained professionals, specifiers make informed Judgments on products that they feel best serve their needs. Also, that proprietary specifications (if chosen) DO NOT violate any antitrust laws. Technically, very few brands of material or equipment are exactly alike, and if the specifier wants to limit the specification to ore source, he has the right to do so and enforce it. 2) Only the specifier has the responsibility and judgment for determining whether a proposed substitution is an "or equal". 3) That from start to finish in the purchasing process, only the specifier can ultimately decide if another desirable product Is available In lieu of the specification. 4) Finally, that the courts concluded, °The burden is on the supplier or manufacturer, who has NOT been specified to convince the specifier that their product is equal for the purpose of a particular proiect". The specifier has determined that this product specification shall represent the product to which all offerings shall be compared. Due to the fact that firefighting is an ULTRAHAZARDOUS, UNAVOIDABLY DANGEROUS activity, only trained Fire Department personnel with specific knowledge in the area of Personal Protective Equipment shall be allowed to make the final determining decision on the selection of the appropriate product to serve the Fire Department's needs.

Print Date: FIM 07/16/08 03:56:19 PM Page 1 Detailed Technical Specifications for Protective Clothing for Structural Firefighting Coat and Pant Bloodborne Pathogen Resistant Carmel Fire Dept 2 Carmel Civic Square Carmel, IN 46032 This specification dated July 16, 2008 supersedes, modifies and replaces all previous editions. LEGAL RIGHT TO SPECIFY The Fire Department (for the remainder of this section referred to as the "specifier") chooses to exercise its Legal Right to Specify as determined by the U.S. Supreme Court's affirmation of the decision handed down in the case of Whitten Corp. vs. Paddock, by the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the First Federal District Court, which in effect states: 1) That as trained professionals, specifiers make informed judgments on products that they feel best serve their needs. Also, that proprietary specifications (if chosen) DO NOT violate any antitrust laws. Technically, very few brands of material or equipment are exactly alike and if the specifier wants to limit the specification to one source, he has the right to do so and enforce it. 2) Only the specifier has the responsibility and judgment for determining whether a proposed substitution is an "or equal". 3) That from start to finish in the purchasing process, only the specifier can ultimately decide if another desirable product is available in lieu of the specification. 4) Finally, that the courts concluded "the burden is on the supplier or manufacturer, who has NOT been specified, to convince the specifier that their product is equal for the purpose of a particular project". The specifier has determined that this product specification shall represent the product to which all offerings shall be compared. Due to the fact that firefighting is an ULTRAHAZARDOUS, UNAVOIDABLY DANGEROUS activity, only trained Fire Department personnel with specific knowledge in the area of Personal Protective Equipment shall be allowed to make the final determining decision on the selection of the appropriate product to serve the Fire Department's needs.
