1. The Contractor will be required to provide shop drawings, testing, laboratory test reports, product samples, and test installations in order to establish acceptable standards of workmanship.

2. The requirement for submittal and review of all specified shop drawings, test, product samples, and test installations will be rigorously enforced. General work of each section shall not commence prior to required review. All work conducted prior to the review of required submittals, including test installation, is subject to rejection by the Architect. All rejected work shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor at no additional expense to the Owner.

J. Contractor�s Examination of Submittals: Prior to forwarding submittals to the Architect, the Contractor shall:

1. Review submittals to verify quantities, field measurements, field construction criteria, assembly and installation requirements, manufacturer�s catalog numbers, and conformance of submittals with requirements of Contract Documents.

2. Review each submittal to determine that it is acceptable in terms of the means, methods, techniques, sequences and operations of construction, and in terms of safety precautions, all of which are the Contractor�s sole responsibility.

3. Clearly call to the Architect�s attention any submittal that varies from what the Contract Documents have called for. Notify the Architect in writing at time of submittal of any deviations from requirements of Contract Documents.

4. Clearly identify the products, or product data, which are pertinent to this Project. Clearly mark through, or delete, all information which is not applicable.

5. Stamp and sign each submittal to certify that the Contractor has checked for completeness and compliance with requirements of the Contract Documents and that the submittal has his/her approval.

a. The stamp shall state: �I certify that I have reviewed the above submittal and have verified that products, field dimensions, quantities, and field construction criteria comply with and have been coordinated with the requirements of Work and Contract Documents�.

b. Samples or submittals which, in the opinion of the Architect, have clearly not been checked for compliance by the Contractor will not be reviewed and it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to arrange for return of such submittals.

6. Do not fabricate products or begin work which requires submittal review until return of submittal with Architect�s acceptance. Work begun or completed prior to the Architect�s review of required submittals is subject to rejection. Remove and replace rejected work at no additional cost to the Owner.

K. Architect�s Review:

1. Allow fourteen (14) days for Architect�s review of each submittal. Daily allowance is time in possession of Architect and exclusive of delivery from and to Contractor and exclusive of resubmissions.

2. The Architect�s review is limited to aesthetics, general conformance with the Project design intent, and general compliance with information contained in Contract Documents. The Architect�s review is neither a verification of Contractor�s examination nor a substitution of Contractor�s responsibilities. Architect may inform Contractor of any conspicuous errors on a submittal without prejudice to being held harmless to Contractor�s examinations and responsibilities. Dimensional conformity and verification of existing dimensions, is the Contractor�s responsibility.

3. Upon review, any action shown by the Architect is subject to the requirements of the plans and specifications. The Architect�s review does not authorize changes in Contract requirements unless a separate written directive or change order is issued. The Contractor is responsible for conforming and correlating all quantities and dimensions, selecting fabrication processes and techniques of construction, coordinating his or her work with that of all other trades, and performing all work in a safe and satisfactory manner.
