1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. Action Submittals: Written and graphic information and physical samples that require COR’s responsive action. Action submittals are those submittals indicated in individual Specification

Sections as action submittals or identified as submittals for Government approval.

B. Informational Submittals: Written and graphic information and physical samples that do not require COR's responsive action. Submittals may be rejected for not complying with requirements. Informational submittals are those submittals indicated in individual Specification

Sections as informational submittals.

C. Designer of Record Approved Submittals (DOR): Designer of Record approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, any deviations from the solicitation, the accepted proposal, or the completed design, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the Contracting Officer. Within the terms of the

Contract Clause, FAR 52.236-1 Alt 1, entitled "Specifications and Drawings for Construction,"

Section 01 33 00-Page 2 they are considered to be "shop drawings." Contractor to provide the Government with the number of copies designated hereinafter of all Designer of Record approved submittals. The

Government may review any or all Designer of Record approved submittals for conformance to the Solicitation and Accepted Proposal. The Government will review all submittals designated as deviating from the Solicitation or Accepted Proposal.

D. Government Approved (GA): Government approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the Contracting Officer. Government approval is required for any deviations from the Solicitation or Accepted Proposal and other items as designated by the

Contracting Officer. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled "Specifications and

Drawings for Construction," they are considered to be "shop drawings."

E. Government Conformance Review of Design (CR): The Government will review all intermediate and final design submittals for conformance with the technical requirements of the solicitation.

Specification DESIGN AFTER AWARD covers the design submittal and review process in detail. Review will be only for conformance with the applicable codes, standards and contract requirements. Design data includes the design documents described in Specifications DESIGN

AFTER AWARD.

F. Designer of Record Approved/Government Conformance Review (DA/CR)

1. Deviations to the Accepted Design: Designer of Record approval and the Government's concurrence are required for any proposed deviation from the accepted design which still complies with the contract before the Contractor is authorized to proceed with material acquisition or installation. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled, "Specifications and Drawings for Construction," they are considered to be "shop drawings." If necessary to facilitate the project schedule, the Contractor and the DOR may discuss a submittal proposing a deviation with the Contracting Officer's Representative prior to officially submitting it to the Government. However, the Government reserves the right to review the submittal before providing an opinion, if deemed necessary. In any case, the

Government will not formally agree to or provide a preliminary opinion on any deviation without the DOR's approval or recommended approval. The Government reserves the right to non-concur with any deviation from the design, which may impact furniture, furnishings, equipment selections or operations decisions that were made, based on the reviewed and concurred design.

2. Substitutions: Unless prohibited or provided for otherwise elsewhere in the Contract, where the accepted contract proposal named products, systems, materials or equipment by manufacturer, brand name and/or by model number or other specific identification, and the

Contractor desires to substitute manufacturer or model after award, submit a requested substitution for Government concurrence. Include substantiation, identifying information and the DOR's approval, as meeting the contract requirements and that it is equal in function, performance, quality and salient features to that in the accepted contract proposal.

If the Contract otherwise prohibits substitutions of equal named products, systems, materials or equipment by manufacturer, brand name and/or by model number or other specific identification, the request is considered a "variation" to the contract. Variations are discussed below in paragraphs: "Designer of Record Approved/Government Approved" and "VARIATIONS."

Section 01 33 00-Page 3

3. Designer of Record Approved/Government Approved (DA/GA): In addition to the above stated requirements for proposed deviations to the accepted design, both Designer of

Record and Government Approval and, where applicable, a contract modification is required before the Contractor is authorized to proceed with material acquisition or installation for any proposed variation to the contract (the solicitation and/or the accepted proposal), which constitutes a change to the contract terms. Within the terms of the

Contract Clause entitled, "Specifications and Drawings for construction," they are considered to be "shop drawings." The Government reserves the right to accept or reject any such proposed deviation at its discretion.

G. File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Communications protocol that enables transfer of files to and from another computer over a network and that serves as the basis for standard Internet protocols. An

FTP site is a portion of a network located outside of network firewalls within which internal and external users are able to access files.

H. Portable Document Format (PDF): An open standard file format licensed by Adobe Systems used for representing documents in a device-independent and display resolution-independent fixed-layout document format.

I. Base Manufacturer:

1. The term “base manufacturer” as used in the Specifications refers to a manufacturer of equipment, materials, articles, or patented processes, designated by trade name, make, or catalog number, that have been used as the basis of design.

2. Base manufacturer’s products shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality and shall not be construed as limiting competition.
