SECTION 01600 — PRODUCTS, MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND SUBSTITUTIONS
<br />PART 1 — GENERAL
<br />1.1 DEFINITIONS
<br />A. The word "Products," as used herein, is defined to include purchased items for
<br />incorporation into the WORK, regardless of whether specifically purchased for the
<br />project or taken from CONTRACTOR's stock of previously purchased products. The
<br />word "Materials," is defined as products which must be substantially cut, shaped,
<br />worked, mixed, finished, refined, or otherwise fabricated, processed, installed, or
<br />applied to form units of work. The word "Equipment" is defined as products with
<br />operational parts, regardless of whether motorized or manually operated, and
<br />particularly including products with service connections (wiring, piping, and other like
<br />items). Definitions in this paragraph are not intended to negate the meaning of other
<br />terms used in the Contract Documents, including "specialties," "systems," "structure,"
<br />"finishes," "accessories," "furnishings," special construction," and similar terms, which
<br />are self-explanatory and have recognized meanings in the construction industry.
<br />B. Neither "Products" nor "Materials" nor "Equipment" includes machinery and
<br />equipment used for preparation, fabrication, conveying and erection of the WORK.
<br />1.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE
<br />A. Source Limitations: To the greatest extent possible for each unit of work, the
<br />CONTRACTOR shall provide products, materials, and equipment of a singular
<br />generic kind from a single source.
<br />B. Compatibility of Options: Where more than one choice is available as options for
<br />CONTRACTOR's selection of a product, material, or equipment, the CONTRACTOR
<br />shall select an option which is compatible with other products, materials, or
<br />equipment. Compatibility is a basic general requirement of product, material and
<br />equipment selections.
<br />1.3 PRODUCT DELIVERY AND STORAGE
<br />A. The CONTRACTOR shall deliver and store the WORK in accordance with
<br />manufacturer's written recommendations and by methods and means that will prevent
<br />damage, deterioration, and loss including theft. Delivery schedules shall be controlled
<br />to minimize long-term storage of products at site and overcrowding of construction
<br />spaces. In particular, the CONTRACTOR shall ensure coordination to ensure
<br />minimum holding or storage times for flammable, hazardous, easily damaged, or
<br />sensitive materials to deterioration, theft, and other sources of loss.
<br />1.4 TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
<br />A. Products shall be transported by methods to avoid damage and shall be delivered in
<br />undamaged condition in manufacturer's unopened containers and packaging.
