Dear Allan:
I have reviewed the submittal by Carpet Systems
for the equal alternate to the Edward Fields rugs
specified. I have rejected the submittal due to
the inferiority of the design. The Edward Fields
rugs were designed to function as a decorative
element as well as a practical one. The design
was developed in conjunction with our designers
and Edward Fields. Therefore, we consider it a
single source item.
