Don,
Agreed on your code, just wanted to avoid an old, inane argument.
My new job has me in charge of 1/2 the MAINTENANCE shops. Even though I am invited to the new construction side readily, my job keeps me pretty busy dealing with mine.
I do not have approval of "acceptable substitutes" just something I've gotta get used to now. I do have the right to demand a contractor meets code though. This particular school was opened last September, so I have a year to 'request' that.
I posted another pic a few weeks ago, the contractor actually has until Sept this year to make repairs, I'll let you guys know how it all comes out. Both items will get fixed, just a toss up as to by my crews, or the contractors. Luckily the Chief Electrical inspector in this county and I have a pretty good relationship, and yup, it was approved by an inspector.
