All materials must be OEM-sourced, and the contractor is responsible for providing shop drawings, product data, warranties, and operation and maintenance manuals for COR approval. Compliance with VHA, OSHA, EPA, and Massachusetts DEP standards is mandatory, as are safety, lock-out/tag-out, PPE, and infection control plans.
