c. A/E and Construction Manager reserve the right to withhold action on a submittal requiring coordination with other submittals until related submittals are received.

C. Processing Time: Allow time for submittal review, including time for resubmittals, as follows.

Time for review shall commence on A/E's receipt of submittal. No extension of the Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals enough in advance of the Work to permit processing, including resubmittals.

1. Initial Review: Allow 14 days for initial review of each submittal. Allow additional time if coordination with subsequent submittals is required. A/E will advise Contractor when a submittal being processed must be delayed for coordination.

7. In compliance with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (1910.1200, 08-24-1987) Contractors shall post at the site MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for ALL products classified as hazardous that their firm has knowledge that they will be furnishing, using, or storing on the jobsite during the duration of this Project in accordance with OSHA standards. At the completion of the project, the Contractor shall turn their "MSDS" information directly over to the Owner with a receipt for the Owner to sign. A copy of the signed receipt only shall be submitted to the A/E.

a. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should not be submitted to the A/E for review. Material Safety Data Sheets submitted to A/E will removed or cross out with no action taken.

2. Submit newly prepared information drawn accurately to scale. Highlight, encircle, or otherwise indicate deviations from the Contract Documents. Do not reproduce Contract Documents or copy standard information as the bases of Shop Drawings. Standard information prepared without specific reference to the Project is not a Shop Drawing.

3. Shop drawings are drawings, diagrams, illustrations, schedules, performance charts, brochures, and other data that are prepared by the Contractor or subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier, or distributor to illustrate some portion of the Work. Shop drawings are to be specially prepared for a specific Product to show how a given item is to be fabricated and installed; this is what distinguishes shop drawings from product data.

Shop drawing show how the Contractor intends to fulfill contractual obligations and reflect the Contractor understands of the information given in the Contract Documents. Contract Documents do not show every condition that may exist, and they do not fully indicate how every part and piece must be fabricated or incorporated into the Construction. Preparing accurate Shop Drawings provides the opportunity to fully detail all conditions and show how requirements will be satisfied. Do not base shop drawings on reproduction of the Contract Documents.

a. Advertising brochures will not be accepted as shop drawings.

b. Erection and setting drawings as referred to in these Specifications will be considered as shop drawings and shall be submitted along with detailed shop drawings.

c. Where schedules are required to indicate locations, they shall be submitted as part of the shop drawings package for that item.

d. Shop drawings and schedules shall repeat the identification shown on the Contract Drawings.

e. The Contractor shall check all shop drawings, samples and other submittals and submit them to the A/E utilizing a Transmittal Form, giving his approval and/or comments and suggestions. Failure to use a Transmittal Form will result in submittals being returned “without action”.
