Proposed Substitution
PROPOSED “OR EQUAL” SUBSTITUTION SUBMITTAL TRANSMITTAL
Proposed “Or Equal Substitution Submittal Description
Priority Level: ☐ Low ☐ Medium ☐ High ☐ On Critical Path Proposed “Or Equal” Substitution Item or Service
A. When the first specified item is followed by a second maker's name and "or equal," the Contractor may submit Proposed Equivalent items for the Engineer's review. Proposed “Or Equal” Substitution items that are in the Engineer's judgment equal to the first specified item in quality, utility, and appearance, will be Favorably Reviewed.
Where a product description and first maker's name is followed by "or equal" with no second maker's name, it means the Engineer knows of no equivalent product and the Contractor may submit Proposed Equivalent products by other makers for review. Where the term "or equal" is omitted, it means that the named item is required to meet the Owner's needs; no products or makers other than those specified will be considered.
B. This request shall include adequate technical information to fully describe the function and quality of the item.
Submittals of Proposed “Or Equal” Substitution items that are not made within thirty (30) calendar days of the Notice to Proceed date will be rejected unless the Owner has agreed in writing to a later submittal date and the Contractor agrees to comply with all conditions of the Owner for the late submittal. If the Contractor's second attempt to obtain Favorable Review of a Proposed “Or Equal” Substitution item is unsuccessful, the Contractor shall submit the first specified item.
C. Inclusion of a second maker's name indicates the maker is acceptable but does not necessarily indicate the maker offers a standard product equal to the first specified item. Items by the second named maker are subject to the same conditions of review and compatibility as other Proposed “Or Equal” Substitution items. Inclusion of a maker's name and/or model number after a specification description is not a representation that the maker will furnish an item meeting the Contract requirements at bid time or at time of need. It is the Contractor's sole responsibility to furnish items meeting the Contract requirements.
D. The Engineer's review of Proposed “Or Equal” Substitution items is based solely on information provided by the Contractor and on the Contractor's warranty that the proposed item is equal in quality, utility, function and appearance to the first specified item. Favorable Review of a Proposed “Or Equal” Substitution item has the same meaning and is subject to the same limitations that apply to the Favorable Review of Product Data and Shop Drawings described in the Contract Documents.
E. Submit with proposal:
1. Description of item being proposed including the Manufacturer's model or product number.
2. Manufacturer's representation that the proposed “or equal” substitution item or service is equal to or superior to specified item in all respects.
3. Manufacturer's product data.
4. Information about several recent similar installations, including project name, owner's name, address, telephone number, and name of knowledgeable person to contact for information on performance of the product.

Start cutting as soon as concrete has hardened sufficiently to prevent aggregates from being dislodged by the saw. Complete cutting before shrinkage stresses have developed sufficiently to induce cracking. No reinforcing shall be cut during sawcutting.
3. Extend every other bar of reinforcing steel through control joints or as indicated on the Drawings. Where specifically noted on the Drawings, coat the concrete surface of the joint with a bond breaker before placing new concrete against the joint.

D. Entrained air, as measured by ASTM C231, shall be as shown in Table 1.
1. If the air-entraining agent proposed for use in the mix requires testing methods other than ASTM C231 to accurately determine air content, make special note of this requirement in the admixture submittal.
E. Slump of the concrete as measured by ASTM C143, shall be as shown in Table 1. If a highrange water-reducer (plasticizer) is used, the slump indicated shall be that measured before plasticizer is added. Plasticized concrete shall have a slump ranging from 7 to 10 inches.
F. Proportion admixtures according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Two or more admixtures specified may be used in the same mix provided that the admixtures in combination retain full efficiency and have no deleterious effect on the concrete or on the properties of each other.
