APPROVED EQUALS. In all specifications where a material or article is defined by describing a proprietary product or by using the name of a vendor or manufacturer, it can be assumed that an approved equal can be substituted. The use of a named product is an attempt to set a particular standard of quality and type that is familiar to the County. Such references are not intended to be restrictive. However, the County shall decide if a product does in fact meet or exceed the quality of the specifications listed in the solicitation. It shall be the responsibility of the vendor that claims his product is an equal to provide documentation to support such a claim.
APPROVED EQUALS. Unless an item is indicated as "No substitute," special brands, when named, are intended to describe the standard of quality, performance or use desired. Equal items will be considered by South Sound 911 provided that the Supplier specifies the brand and model, and provides all descriptive literature, independent test results, specification sheets, schematic drawings, photographs, product samples, local servicing, parts availability, etc., to enable South Sound 911 to evaluate the proposed equal. Performance testing in the field may be required. The decision of South Sound 911 as to what items are equal shall be final and conclusive. If South Sound 911 elects to purchase a brand represented by the Supplier to be an "equal," South Sound 911’s acceptance of the item is conditioned on South Sound 911’s inspection and testing after receipt. If, in the sole judgment of South Sound 911, the item is determined not to be an equal, the item shall be returned at the Supplier's expense. When a brand name or level of quality is not stated in the Supplier's submittal, it is understood the Supplier's submittal shall exactly conform with those required in this Contract. If more than one brand name is stated in this Specification, Supplier(s) must indicate the brand and model/part number to be supplied.
