Knight International Center Area Rugs FGSC Project No. I-9023 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.
