2. A preliminary schedule of Shop Drawings, Samples, and proposed Substitutes

("Or-Equal") submittals listed in the Bid.

1.3 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

A. Verify that the material or equipment described in each submittal conforms to all requirements of the Specifications and drawings. Where the detailed specifications require specific submittal data, submit all data at the same time. The submittals are to be accompanied by the transmittal form attached at the end of this Section. The Engineer will return for resubmittal any information not accompanied by the specified transmittal form, properly completed.

B. Indiscriminate submittal of only manufacturer’s literature is unacceptable and will be rejected.

C. The submittals shall be numbered as XXXXXX-YY-z., where XXXXXX is the specification section number, YY is the sequential number of the submittal, and Z is used for re-submittal labeled a through z. For example, the first submittal of an item from

Section 32 13 13 – Concrete for Exterior Improvements would be numbered “32 13 13-

01”; the first re-submittal of the submittal would be numbered “32 13 13-01-A”.

D. A separate transmittal form shall be used for each specific item or class of material or equipment for which a submittal is required.

No consideration for review by the Engineer of any Contractor submittals will be made for any items which have not been so certified by the Contractor.

All non-certified submittals will be returned to the Contractor without action taken by the

Engineer, and any delays caused thereby shall be the total responsibility of the Contractor.
