The submittals shall be complete and detailed. The adequacy and accuracy of submittals and their compliance with the contract documents are the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall submit two (2) sets of samples requiring approval as called for under the various technical sections of these specifications. All proposed deviations shall also be noted on the transmittal form, and the submittals.

The Contractor shall provide all submittals specified in each section of the technical provisions in its entirety and not piecemeal the submittals. If those requirements are not met, the submittal shall be returned to the Contractor for corrective action. All approval actions taken by the Government will in no way relieve the Contractor of his quality control requirements. If approved by the Contracting Officer, each copy of the submittals will be identified as having received such approval by being so stamped and dated. The Contractor shall make only corrections required by the Contracting Officer.

Five sets of all submittals required for approval will be retained by the Contracting Officer. Five sets of all submittals required for approval will be retained by the Contracting Officer and three (3) sets of all submittals will be returned to the Contractor, including any reproducible submitted. The approval of the submittals by the Contracting Officer shall not be construed as a complete check but will indicate only that the general method of construction and detailing is satisfactory. Approval of such drawings will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist as the Contractor shall be responsible for the dimensions and design of adequate connections, details, and satisfactory construction of all work. The Contractor or an official of the company authorized to act on behalf of the Contractor shall certify, that they have reviewed the submittals in detail and that they are correct and in strict conformance with the contract drawings and specifications except as may be otherwise explicitly stated.

3.5.2 Deviations

For submittals which include proposed deviation

4025 shall be checked. The Contractor shall set forth in writing the reason for any deviations and annotate such deviations on the submittal. The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted deviations.

3.6 CONTROL OF SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall carefully control his procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the Contractor scheduled submitt

3.7 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval, the submittals will be identified as having received approval by being so stamped and dated. Five (5) copies of the submittal will be retained by the Contracting Officer and three (3) copies of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

3.8 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Contracting Officer is not required on information only submittals. These submittals will be used for information purposes. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve

II-01305-4/4

the Contractor from obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications and will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement if nonconforming material is incorporated in the work. This does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or check testing by the Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe.

3.9 STAMPS

Stamps used by the Contractor on the submittal data to certify that the submittal meets contract requirements shall be similar to the following:
