SECTION 15015
MATERIALS, PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 SPECIFIED MANUFACTURERS
A. Specified manufacturers are those named in the Contract Documents in conjunction with a
specific material, piece of equipment, or product. The specified item establishes the minimum
technical and physical requirements and quality standards.
1.2 LISTED MANUFACTURERS
A. Manufacturers listed in the Specifications and/or Addenda prior to the Bid opening are
manufacturers capable of meeting the quality standards established. Acceptance of a
manufacturer prior to the Bid opening does not imply acceptance of a specific material, piece of
equipment, or product.
1.3 NON-LISTED MANUFACTURERS
A. Manufacturers not listed in the Specifications and/or Addenda prior to the Bid opening may bid
only material, equipment, or products by listing them on the Bid Form, as an “add to” or “deduct
from” voluntary substitution from the specified item. Reliance upon “Voluntary Substitutions”
by the successful Bidder does not imply acceptance of that substitution.
1.4 NON-SPECIFIED MANUFACTURERS OF MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT OR PRODUCTS
A. At the bid opening, an item of material, equipment, or product may be used in lieu of an item
which is specified provided that the following provisions are met:
1) The item is manufactured by one of the manufacturers listed in the Specifications and/or
Addenda.
2) The item, if not listed in the Specifications and/or Addenda, is listed on the Bid Form as a
“Voluntary Substitution.”
3) Voluntarily substituted materials, equipment, or products shall meet or exceed the minimum
technical and physical requirements established by the specified item.
4) The item is used throughout the project so that all items of material, equipment, or product
used in place of specified items are of the same manufacturer and type.
B. Reasonable approvals of “voluntary substations” will not be unduly withheld; however the
“Engineer of Record” reserves the sole right to determine if a “Non-Specified” Material meets the
requirements of the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be entitled to a cost
adjustment if a “Voluntary Substitution” is determined to be unacceptable.
