Or Equal. CLAUSE Whenever a material, article, or piece of equipment is identified on the plans or in the specifications by reference to manufacturers' or vendors' names, tradenames, catalogue numbers, etc., said identification is intended to establish a standard. Any material, article, or equipment of other manufacturers and vendors which will perform satisfactorily the duties imposed by the general design will be considered equally acceptable provided the material, article, or equipment so proposed, is, in the opinion of the OWNER, of equal quality, substance, and function. It shall not be purchased or installed by the CONSTRUCTION MANAGER without the written approval of the OWNER.
Or Equal. Items: If in Architect's and/or Owner’s discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will be required, it may be considered by Architect as an "or-equal" item, in which case review and approval of the proposed item may, in Architect's sole discretion, be accomplished without compliance with some or all of the requirements for approval of proposed substitute items. For the purposes of this paragraph, a proposed item of material or equipment will be considered functionally equal to an item so named if:
Or Equal. Whenever in any of the Contract, any Section, materials, or equipment is defined by describing a proprietary product or by using the name of a manufacturer or vendor, the term, “or equal” if not inserted, will be implied. The specific Section, material or equipment mentioned will be understood as indicating the type, function, minimum standard of design, efficiency, and quality desired and will not be construed in such a manner as to exclude manufacturer’s products of comparable quality, design, and efficiency. Where a product is mentioned by the name of a manufacturer or vendor in the Contract, Xxxxxx Mechanical will identify to Owner the names of any products to be used in lieu of the ones named in the documents prior to awarding a purchase order. Owner shall have the right to reject any substituted product upon five (5) days written notice to Xxxxxx Mechanical, unless such product is critical to the successful completion of the Work, or is the only product available that is suitable for the purpose for which it is intended.
Or Equal. In all Bid Specifications the words “or equal” are understood to apply where a copyrighted, brand name, trade name, catalog reference, or patented Product is referenced. References to such specific Product are intended as descriptive, not restrictive, unless otherwise stated. Comparable Product will be considered if proof of compatibility is provided, including appropriate catalog excerpts, descriptive literature, specifications and test data, etc. The Commissioner’s decision as to acceptance of the Product as equal shall be final.
Or Equal. Whenever in any of the Contract documents, any Section, materials, or equipment is defined by describing a proprietary product or by using the name of a manufacturer or vendor, the term, "or equal" if not inserted, will be implied. The specific Section, material or equipment mentioned will be understood as indicating the type, function, minimum standard of design, efficiency, and quality desired and will not be construed in such a manner as to exclude manufacturer's products of comparable quality, design, and efficiency. Where a product is mentioned by the name of a manufacturer or vendor in the Contract, Delta-T will identify to Owner the names of any products to be used in lieu of the ones named in the documents prior to awarding a purchase order. Owner shall have the right to reject any substituted product upon ten (10) business days written notice to Delta-T, unless such product is critical to the successful completion of the Work, or is the only product available that is suitable for the purpose for which it is intended.
Or Equal. Wherever in any of the Contract Documents an article, material or equipment is defined by using the name of a manufacturer or vender, the term “Or Equal” or the term “The Equivalent” is done for the express purpose of establishing a basis of durability and efficiency and not for the purpose of limiting completion. Whenever material or equipment is submitted for approval as being equal to that specified, the submittal shall include sufficient information and data to demonstrate that the material or equipment conforms to the Contract requirements. The decision as to whether or not such material or equipment is equal to that specified shall be made by the city of Franklin Engineer or his/her representative. The approval by the ADMINISTRATOR of alternate material or equipment as being equivalent to that specified, shall not in any way relieve CONTRACTOR of responsibility for failure of the material or equipment due to faulty design, material, or workmanship, to perform the function required by the Contract Documents.
Or Equal. 4.1 Whenever a process is designated or a manufacturer’s name, brand, or item is designated or described, it shall be understood that the words, “or equal” follow such name, designation, or description, whether in fact they do so or not, unless no substitution is stated in the specifications. Items bid other than specified must be determined by the Purchasing Analyst as an approved equal. Submit to the Purchasing Analyst their intent to bid an approved equal no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the bid closing. Include detailed specifications, cut-sheets, and modifications necessary that would make the proposed item equal to the desired specifications.
Or Equal. For products specified by name and accompanied by the term "or equal," or "or approved equal," or "or approved," comply with requirements in "Comparable Products" Article to obtain approval for use of an unnamed product.
Or Equal. Whenever in Specifications any materials, process, service or equipment is indicated or specified by brand name, trade name, proprietary name or by name of manufacturer, such specification shall be deemed to be used for the purpose of facilitating description of material, process, service or equipment desired and shall be deemed to be followed by the words "or equal," and CONTRACTOR may, unless otherwise stated, offer any material, process, service, or equipment which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified subject to DISTRICT or ARCHITECT approval.
Or Equal. CLAUSE Whenever a material, article, or piece of equipment is identified in the Contract Documents by reference to manufacturers’ or vendors’ names, trade names, catalogue numbers, etc., it is intended merely to establish a standard. Any material, article, or equipment of other manufacturers and vendors that will perform adequately the duties imposed by the general design will be considered equally acceptable provided the material, article, or equipment so proposed is, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, of equal substance and function. However, such substitution material, article, or equipment shall not be purchased or installed by the Contractor without the Architect/Engineer's written approval.
