EXECUTION

GENERAL COORDINATION PROVISIONS

A. Inspection of Conditions: Prior to installations, require the installer of each major component to inspect both the substrate and conditions under which work is to be performed.

1. Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in an acceptable manner.

2. Coordinate temporary enclosures with required inspections and tests to minimize the necessity of uncovering completed construction for that purpose.

Construction in Progress: Keep construction in progress, and adjoining materials in place, clean during handling and installation. Apply protective coverings where required for protection from damage or deterioration.

Completed Construction: Clean completed construction, and provide maintenance, as frequently as necessary to prevent damage or soiling or other deterioration through the remainder of the construction period. Adjust and lubricate operable components as necessary to assure operability without damage.

Limiting Exposures: Supervise construction operations to prevent exposure of any part of construction, completed or in progress, to harmful, dangerous, damaging or otherwise deleterious conditions during the construction period. Such conditions including but not limited to the following:

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES 01 33 00 – 1

SECTION 01 33 00 – SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

GENERAL

GENERAL

Section includes requirements for the submittal schedule and administrative and procedural requirements for submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and other submittals.

Submittals must be provided by the Contractor for review and approval prior to, during, and after construction. This section includes instructions for scheduling and submitting submittals as required herein, by drawing notes, or in the various sections of the specifications.

Submittals Format: Unless noted otherwise herein or in other referenced sections, all submittals are to be provided to the FAA in electronic format.

The Contractor is responsible for the adequacy of submittals for compliance with the Contract.

The Contractor must thoroughly review in detail, approve, and certify that each submittal is in strict conformance with contract specifications and drawings, except as may be otherwise explicitly stated, before submitting it to the Government for review and approval.

Submittals must be in sufficient detail when first submitted to enable ready determination of the acceptability of the equipment or material. The submittal must be complete, as applicable, with all required working drawings, schedules, diagrams, charts, certificates, samples, test specimens, manufacturer's qualifications, descriptive literature, and performance curves as applicable. Every characteristic of the item specified in the specification must be positively identified in the submittal.

The location or use of each unit of equipment or material must be identified in the submittal. The Contractor must make all annotations required to finish any incomplete submittals originating from subcontractors or suppliers. If a submittal is disapproved by the Contracting Officer, or if the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) determines that the submittal is not adequate to justify the Contractor's approval, the Contractor must make corrections and resubmit the same number of copies as for an original submittal.

Failure by the Contractor to make a required submittal for any item of work prior to construction will result in withholding of progress payments for that item.

The Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping any work for which the prescribed submittals have not been submitted and processed as required. No part of the time lost due to any such stop orders will be made the subject of a claim by the Contractor for extension of performance time, for excess costs, or damages.

Submittals must be delivered to the COR a minimum of 30 days prior to the date the Contractor requires return of the approved submittals with exceptions as otherwise specified. The Contractor is cautioned that this time period does not include any allowance for resubmittal in cases where the Contracting Officer determines that the Contractor's approval and certification are not adequately justified.

Delays caused by inadequacies in the Contractor's review process will be the responsibility of the Contractor and will not be made the subject of a claim for extension of time or for excess costs or damages by the Contractor.

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES 01 33 00 – 2

Any item purchased and/or installed by the Contractor that does not comply with the contract specifications are subject to rejection and replacement with conforming items without additional cost to the Government and without any extension of performance time. This provision applies to deficiencies resulting from erroneous Contractor approvals or work performed prior to the Contracting Officer's approval.

Approval by the Contracting Officer must not be construed as assuming responsibility for the Contractor’s work. The Contracting Officer will rely upon the Contractor's certification on the submittal that a complete check has been made and conformance with the contract has been met.

Approval must not be construed as authorizing any deviations from the contract specifications and drawings, unless the deviation itself is explicitly designated as the subject of the approval.
