LEGAL RIGHT TO SPECIFY
The Pigeon Forge Fire Department (for the remainder of this section referred to as the "specifier")
chooses to exercise its legal right to specify as determined by the U.S. Supreme Court's affirmation of
the decision handed down in the case of Whiten Corp. vs. Paddock. by the U.S. District Court of
Massachusetts, the First Federal District Court, which in effect states:
1) That as trained professionals; specifiers make informed judgments on products that they
feel best serve their needs. Also, that proprietary specifications (if chosen) DO NOT violate
any antitrust laws. technically, very few brands of material or equipment are exactly alike,
and if the specifier wants to limit the specifications to one source, he has the right to do so
and enforce it.
2) Only the specifier has the responsibility and judgment for determining whether
a proposed Substitution an "or equal".
3) That from start to finish in the purchasing process, only the specifier can ultimately decide
if another desirable product is available in lieu of the specification.
4) Finally, that the courts conclude "the burden is on the supplier or manufacturer, who has
NOT been specified, to convince the specifier that their product is equal for the purpose
of a particular project".
The specifier has determined that this product specification shall represent the product to which all
offerings shall be_compared. Due to the fact that fire firefighting is an ULTRAHAZARDOUS,
UNAVOIDABLY DANGEROUS activity, only trained Fire Department personnel with specific
knowledge in the area of Personal Protective Equipment shall be allowed to make the final
determining decision on the selection of the appropriate product to serve the Pigeon Forge Fire
Department's needs.
