considered as non-responsive and being rejected.
If bidding an equivalent, You must include descriptive manufacturer’s literature verifying the
information You provided in the Bidder’s Response column with Your submission. Failure to

of good material and workmanship and that manufacturer promptly replace any part or parts which
by reason of defective materials or workmanship shall fail under normal use, free of negligence or
