August 20, 2024 01 33 00-5

1. Review submittals with reasonable promptness.

2. Review for:

a. Design concept of Project.

b. Information given in Contract Documents.

4. Affix stamp and initials or signature certifying to review of submittal.

5. Return submittals to Contractor for distribution.

6. Review of Shop Drawings by Architect/Engineer shall not be construed as a complete check but will indicate only that the general method of construction and detailing is satisfactory.

Review of such drawings will not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any error which may exist in the submittals as Contractor shall be responsible for dimensions and design of adequate connections, details and satisfactory construction of all work.

7. The Architect will only check those submittals which have been prepared by the Contractor or subcontractor that is actually supplying, fabricating or installing the product to be reviewed. Any evidence that the submittal was prepared by a prime contractor for a subcontractor without the subcontractor’s knowledge will result in the submittal being returned marked Rejected/Resubmit.

8. The Architect’s stamp, affixed to the Shop Drawing, means only what is says; that the submittal has been reviewed and is released for fabrication “as is” or “as noted,” must be resubmitted or has been rejected. The stamp does not represent a Change Order Authorization. The Contractor will bear all increased costs for reviewed products that have not been previously approved by the Architect for use on this

C. Timing

1. General

a. Make all submittals far enough in advance of scheduled dates of installation to provide all required time for reviews, for securing necessary approvals, for possible revision and resubmittal, and for placing orders and securing delivery.

b. In scheduling, allow at least ten (10) full working days for the Architect’s review following receipt of the submittal.

c. Mechanical and Electrical submittals should be allowed additional lead time for Engineer’s review.

d. Submittals pertaining to color selection are interdependent. No colors will be selected without all samples.

2. Delays: Costs of delays occasioned by tardiness of submittals maybe back charged as necessary and shall not be borne by the Owner. Such costs will include the purchase, installation and removal of temporary materials, equipment and fixtures, as required, in writing, by the Owner to allow the Project to be used or occupied until the permanent materials, equipment and fixtures can be installed.

The Owner will not be forced to accept alternate materials, equipment, fixtures or colors because of the failure of the Contractor’s to make timely submission of Shop Drawings and product data.

D. Submittal Schedule: Submittals required by the various Sections of these Specifications include, but are not necessarily limited to:
