furnish only new material for work under this Contract. The material shall be manufactured, handled, and used so as to ensure completed work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

B. Compliance with Cited Standards:

1. Wherever the Contract Drawings require that materials and workmanship conform to specifically named codes or standards, provide in each instance materials and workmanship that meet or exceed the requirements of the latest edition of the specifically named codes or standards.

2. In procuring items used in the Work, it is the Contractor's responsibility to verify the detailed requirements of the specifically named codes and standards and to verify that the items procured for use in this work meet or exceed the specified requirements.

3. When required by the Contract Documents or by written request from the SEPTA's Project Manager, deliver to the SEPTA's Project Manager proof that the materials, workmanship, or both, meet or exceed the requirements of the specifically named code or standard. Such proof shall be in the form of a certificate of compliance signed by an authorized officer of the manufacturing company, or a certified report of tests conducted by a testing agency acceptable to the SEPTA's Project Manager.

4. The SEPTA's Project Manager reserves the right to reject items incorporated in the work that fail to meet specified minimum requirements. The SEPTA's Project Manager further reserves the right, without prejudice to any other recourse the SEPTA's Project Manager may take, to accept non-complying items subject to an adjustment in the compensation payable under the Contract and determined in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents.

C. Overlapping and Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more industry standards or sets of requirements is specified, and overlapping of those different standards or requirements establishes different or conflicting minimums or levels of quality, most stringent requirement (which is generally recognized to be also most costly) is intended and will be enforced, unless specifically detailed language written into contract documents (not by way of reference to an industry standard) clearly indicates


that a less stringent requirement is to be fulfilled. Refer apparently equal but different requirements, and uncertainties as to which level of quality is more stringent, to SEPTA's Project Manager for a decision before proceeding.

D. Source Limitations: To the fullest extent possible, provide products, of the same generic kind, from a single source, for each unit of work.

1. When it is discovered that specified products are available only from sources that do not or cannot: produce an adequate quantity to complete project requirements in a timely manner, consult with the SEPTA's Project Manager for a determination of what product qualities are most important before proceeding. The SEPTA's Project Manager will designate those qualities, such as visual, structural, durability, or compatibility, that are most important. When the SEPTA's Project Manager's determination has been made, select products from those sources that produce products that possess the most important qualities, to the fullest extent possible.

E. Compatibility of Options: Compatibility of products is a basic requirement of product selection. When the Contractor is given the option of selecting between two or more products for use on the project, the product selected must be compatible with other products previously selected, even if the products previously selected were also Contractor options. The complete compatibility between the various choices available to the Contractor is not assured by the various requirements of the Contract Documents, but must be provided by the Contractor.

EXECUTION

PART 3 – GENERAL PRODUCT COMPLIANCE

3.01A. General: Requirements for individual products are indicated in the contract documents;

compliance with these requirements is in itself a contract requirement. These requirements may be specified in any one of several different specifying methods, or in any combination of these methods. These methods include the following:

1. Proprietary

2. Descriptive

3. Performance

4. Compliance with Reference Standards

5. Compliance with codes, compliance with graphic details, allowances, and similar provisions of the contract documents also have a bearing on the selection process.

B. Procedures for Selecting Products: The Contractor's options in selecting products are limited by requirements of the contract documents and governing regulations. They are not controlled by industry traditions or procedures experienced by Contractor on previous construction projects. Required procedures include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following for various indicated methods of specifying:

1. Single Product Name: Where only a single product or manufacturer is named, provide the product indicated, unless the specification indicates possible consideration of ocher products. Advise SEPTA's Project Manager before proceeding, when it is discovered that the named product is not a reasonable or a feasible solution.

2. Non-Proprietary Specification Requirements: Where the specifications name products or manufacturers that are available and may be incorporated in the Work, but do not restrict the Contractor, to the use of these products only, the Contractor may, at his option, use any available product that complies with contract requirements.

3. Descriptive Specification Requirements: Where the specifications describe a product or assembly generically, the detail, listing the exact characteristics required, but without use of a brand or trade name, provide products or


assemblies that provide the characteristics indicated and otherwise comply with contract requirements.

4. Performance Specification Requirements: Where the specifications require compliance with indicated performance requirements, provide products that comply with the specific performance requirements indicated, and that are recommended by the manufacturer for the application indicated. The manufacturer's recommendations may be contained in published product literature, or by the manufacturer's individual certification of performance. General overall performance of a product is implied where the product is specified for specific performances.

5. Compliance with Standards, Codes and Regulations: Where the specifications require only compliance with an imposed standard, code or regulation, the Contractor has the option of selecting a product that complies with specification requirements, including the standards, codes and regulations.

6. Visual Matching: Where matching an established sample is required, the final judgment of whether a product proposed by the Contractor matches the sample satisfactorily will be determined by the SEPTA's Project Manager. Where there is no product available within the specified product category that matches the sample satisfactorily and also complies with other specified requirements, comply with the provisions of the contract documents concerning "substitutions" and "change orders" for the selection of a matching product in another product category, or for non- compliance with specified requirements.

7. Visual Selection: Except as otherwise indicated, where specified product requirements include the phrase "...as selected from the manufacturer's standard colors, patterns, textures..." or similar phrases, the Contractor has the option of selecting the product and manufacturer, provided the selection complies with other specified requirements. The SEPTA's Project Manager is subsequently responsible for selecting the color, pattern, and texture from the product line selected by the Contractor.

8. Producer's Statement of Applicability: Where individual specification sections indicate products that require a "Statement of Applicability" from the manufacturer or other producer, submit a written-certified statement from the producer stating that the producer has reviewed the proposed application of the product on the project. This statement shall state that the producer agrees with or does not object to the technical specification and the Contractor's selection of the product for use in the Work. The statement shall also state that the proposed application of the product on the project is suitable and proper.

SUBSTITUTIONS

3.02

A. The Contractor's requests for changes in the products, materials, equipment, and methods of construction required by the contract documents are considered requests for "substitutions," and are subject to the requirements specified herein. The following are not considered as substitutions:

1. Revisions to the Contract Documents, where requested by the Authority, are


considered as "changes" not substitutions.

2. Substitutions requested during the bidding period, which have been accepted prior to the Contract Date, are included in the contract documents and are not subject to the requirements for substitutions as herein specified.

3. Specified Contractor options on products and construction methods included in the contract documents are choices available to the Contractor and are not subject to the requirements for substitutions as herein specified.

4. Except as otherwise provided in the contract documents, the Contractor's determination of and compliance with governing regulations and orders as issued by governing authorities do not constitute "substitutions" and do not constitute a basis for change orders.

B. Conditions: The Contractor's request for a substitution will be received and considered when extensive revisions of the contract documents are not required, when the proposed changes are in keeping with the general intent of the contract documents, when the requests are timely, fully documented and properly submitted, and when one or more of the following conditions is satisfied, all as judged by the SEPTA's Project Manager; otherwise the requests will be returned without action except to record noncompliance with these requirements. The SEPTA's Project Manager will be the sole judge as to whether a proposed substitution will be approved. Burden of proof of equivalency shall rest with the Contractor. Abide by the SEPTA's Project Manager's decision when proposed substitutions are deemed unacceptable. Use of substitute items without written approval of the SEPTA's Project Manager is prohibited.

1. The SEPTA's Project Manager will consider a request for substitution where the request is directly related to an "or equal" clause or similar language in the contract documents.

2. The SEPTA's Project Manager will consider a request for substitution where the specified product or method cannot be provided within the Contract Time. However, the request will not be considered if the product or method cannot be provided as a result of the Contractor's failure to pursue the work promptly or to coordinate the various activities properly.

3. The SEPTA's Project Manager will consider a request for substitution where the specified product or method cannot receive necessary approval by a governing authority, and the requested substitution can be approved.

4. The SEPTA's Project Manager will consider a request for substitution when the specified product or method cannot be provided in a manner, which is compatible with other materials of the work, and where the Contractor certifies that the substitution will overcome the incompatibility.

5. The SEPTA's Project Manager will consider a request for substitution when the specified product or method cannot be properly coordinated with other materials in the work, and where the Contractor certifies that the proposed substitution can be properly coordinated.


6. The SEPTA's Project Manager will consider a request for substitution when the specified product or method cannot receive a warranty as required by the contract documents and where the Contractor certifies that the proposed substitution received the required warranty.

C. Make no claim for any extension of time or for damages by reason of the time taken by the SEPTA's Project Manager in considering a substitution proposed by the Contractor, or by reason of the failure of the SEPTA's Project Manager to approve a substitution proposed by the Contractor.

D. Where approval of a substitution requires revision or redesign of any part of the work, provide such revision and redesign, including all new drawings and details required therefore, at no additional cost to the Authority. All such revisions and redesign shall be subject to the approval of the SEPTA's Project Manager.

E. Costs of delays because of non-availability of specified items, when such delays could have been avoided by the Contractor, shall be the responsibility of and shall be borne by the Contractor.

F. Work-Related Submittals: The Contractor's submittal and the SEPTA's Project Manager's acceptance of shop drawings, product data or samples which relate to work not complying with requirements of the contract documents, does not constitute an acceptable or valid request for a substitution, nor approval thereof.
