A: "The Contractor can submit a Substitute and “Or Equal” Item to the City and Engineer for review and approval after the Contractor’s Notice of Award. If the City does not approve of the Substitute and “Or Equal” Item, the Contractor will be required to furnish and install the material or equipment per the City’s specifications and standards. Reference General Conditions, Section 6.3 Substitutes and “Or Equal” Items. 6.3 SUBSTITUTES AND ""OR EQUAL"" ITEMS Whenever an item of material or equipment is specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the specification or description is intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the specification or description contains or is followed by words reading that no like, equivalent or ""or equal"" item or no substitution is permitted, other items of material or equipment or material or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by Engineer. If in Engineer's sole 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 Engineer for approval. If in the Engineer's sole discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an ""or equal"" item, it may be considered as a proposed substitute item. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as required by the Engineer to allow the Engineer to determine that the item of material or equipment proposed is essentially equivalent to that named and is an acceptable substitute, therefore. Request for review of proposed substitute and ""or equal"" will not be accepted by Engineer from anyone other than Contractor. Request for substitute and ""or equal"" items by the Contractor must be submitted in writing to Owner’s Representative and will contain all the information as Engineer deems necessary to make a determination. Request for substitute shall identify why a substitute is submitted and include advantages to the Owner. All data provided by Contractor in support of any proposed substitute or ""or equal"" item will be at Contractor's expense. The Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to evaluate each proposal or submittal made per this paragraph. The Engineer will be sole judge of acceptability."
