a fully functional and operating system ready for the Owner’s use that may or may not be
explicitly specified within Construction Documents.
1.
Part Numbers: Refer to the equipment schedule(s) for specific part numbers. Part numbers
listed in the equipment schedule(s) define the performance specifications for the parts and
shall be per the most recent manufacturer’s cut/data specification sheets available at the
time of bid. If no part number is provided, then any part meeting the functional and
operational requirements specified is acceptable.

2.
3.
Substitutions base on availability: Unavailable equipment shall be replaced with like
make and model of equal or greater capabilities. Substitutions shall be submitted to
engineer for approve prior to procurement. Equipment substitutions shall be
considered if equipment has been discontinued by manufacturer, recalled by
manufacturer, technologically obsolete, manufacturer lead times exceed project
milestones and/or manufacturer has ceased business practices within the continental
United States of America.
Provide materials in quantities as required to provide a fully functional and operational
System.
