3002
. (a) For purposes of subdivision (b) of Section 3400 and
subdivision (a) of Section 10129, for any roof project, a material,
product, thing, or service shall be considered equal if it meets all
of the following requirements:
(1) The item is at least equal in quality, durability, design, and
appearance but not necessarily of an identical color.
(2) The item will perform the intended function at least equally
well.
(3) The item conforms substantially, even with deviations, to the
detailed requirements contained in the specifications.
(b) A substitute may be unequal if the resulting roof system would
be substantially different than other equal or better systems in
terms of performance and durability, but not merely different by
virtue of the inclusion of proprietary products or a proprietary
warranty.
