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 firefighting is an ULTRAHAZARDOUS, UNA VOIDABL Y 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.
