COORDINATION 1030-1

SECTION 1030

COORDINATION

The review and coordination of shop drawings, actual execution of the work, and testing between general construction work, equipment and piping installation, pertinent instrumentation and electrical work is the responsibility of the Contractor.

The Engineer will check each shop drawing submitted to determine whether it complies with the intent of the Contract Documents and the design. This same requirement is placed on the Contractor and his/her supplier.

It is the intention of the Contract Documents to place various materials of construction and related requirements in their proper place both on the Drawings and in the specifications. However, no guarantee is made that such locations are, in every instance, where the Contractor might expect to find them.

The Contractor is required to provide, or make available, all of the Contract Documents to each vendor and subcontractor, both prior to bid to ensure proper Proposals, and during construction to ensure compliance with the intent of the Contract Documents. This is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

The Engineer is not responsible for project coordination between various subcontractors, which is the responsibility of the Contractor. The Engineer will observe, by attendance at regularly scheduled job meetings, the orderly flow and progress of the work. The various subcontractors and those people responsible to them are required to interact with each other to ensure that the work progresses in an orderly fashion and without exceeding the time allotted in the Contract.

The Contractor is to refer to the appropriate section of the Contract Documents which defines the limitations of the Engineer’s responsibilities.

The Contractor is responsible for reading all the Specifications and following the various Contract Drawings. His/Her review of all the Contract Documents as well as shop drawings, coordination drawings and other information required to complete the project is his sole responsibility. He/She is to request clarification on any matters where ambiguities might exist, in order to receive instruction as to the proper documents to follow.

All products or materials which require the selection of color finishes are to be submitted early and with sufficient lead time to permit the Owner or his Engineer or Architect to develop an overall color coordination system for use by the Contractor in the final installation. Delays in submitting such product or material samples or color charts at one time may delay the selection process and prevent the Contractor from granting suppliers final releases for fabrication.

A) Shop, Coordination, Setting and Installation Drawings and Samples

The Contractor shall promptly submit to the Engineer, one (1) reproducible and seven (7) copies of detailed shop drawings, guaranteed test curves, and manufacturer’s specifications for all equipment, tools and furnishings to be supplied under this Contract. Detailed shop drawings shall be submitted for items such as piping, ducts, miscellaneous metals, reinforced plastics, structural steel, reinforcing steel, mechanical equipment, fabricated items, electrical components, instrumentation, and other work, whether or not mentioned in this section.

The Contractor shall submit these data with such promptness as to avoid delay in the work. In no case shall shop drawings be submitted later than 10 days after Contract signing. Mechanical items, electrical items, instrumentation, reinforcing steel, and other items requiring long lead times and extensive review time shall be submitted first. Items requiring a lesser degree of lead time or review time may be submitted toward the end of this 10 day period. In order for the Contractor to be deemed to have fulfilled this requirement, his individual submissions must be complete in every respect so that a logical and orderly review might follow. Piecemeal submissions are not acceptable. Final submissions for approval must be complete in all respects.

When dimensions are of particular importance, the drawing must be certified by the manufacturer as correct for this project.

The Engineer will review submitted data within a reasonable time after receipt of such data considering the complexity and completeness of such submissions. He/She shall determine at his/her sole discretion whether the data submitted are sufficient to render a decision. Resubmission of drawings by the Contractor for the Engineer’s approval must be completed within thirty (30) days of the return of the previous submission by the Engineer, unless the Engineer specifically agrees to the contrary.

No materials, equipment or specialties are to be purchased, fabricated, or released until the Engineer has approved the shop or working drawings as conforming to the contract requirements. All materials and work involved in the construction shall then be as represented by such drawings.

SUBMITTALS 1090-2

Shop drawings are to be not smaller in size than 8-½” x 11” nor larger than 30” x 42“. Reproductions of the Engineer’s drawings will not be acceptable as shop drawings. Before submitting shop drawings, the Contractor must check and sign all drawings, noting thereon any deviation from the Contract Drawings and Specifications.

One (1) reproducible and seven (7) copies of shop drawings, test curves, or other material are to be submitted for approval. Following his/her review, the Engineer will return two (2) copies to the Contractor. If shop drawings are checked “Amend and Resubmit” by the Engineer, the Contractor must resubmit one (1) reproducible and six (6) copies of the revised shop drawings, of which two (2) will be returned to the Contractor by the Engineer.

The Contractor is to be responsible for furnishing subcontractors with approved shop drawings as required. No shop drawings are to be used for construction, ordering, fabrication, or other reasons unless marked “No Exceptions Taken” or “Make Corrections Noted” by the Engineer. Should the Contractor desire more than two (2) copies of approved shop drawings, he/she is to submit one (1) additional reproducible drawing, identical to that approved by the Engineer, to the Engineer. The Engineer will then mark this additional reproducible drawing and return it to the Contractor for his use.

The Contractor is to note the difference in action expected by the Engineer with regard to Engineer required drawings such as shop, coordination and installation drawings, and those which are presented by the Contractor, by his own choice, and for his convenience. Engineer required drawings are to be construed as those which define shop systems work, parts drawings, fabrication drawings, test reports, certifications, and manufacturer’s installation requirements. These will be reviewed and stamped appropriately by the Engineer after detailed review.

Contractor’s coordination and/or installation drawings which are presented at his option are to be construed as those which assist the Contractor in his/her orderly execution of the work. Such drawings will be reviewed by the Engineer only as a convenience afforded the Contractor and shall not be stamped by the Engineer.

All Engineer required drawings are to be stamped by the Contractor certifying his review and approval thereof. The stamp is to bear the following information:

APPROVED FOR CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor’s signature below indicates that he has checked the drawing with the Contract Drawings and Specifications and found it to meet all requirements of same including dimensions, and that the Contractor’s guarantee fully applies to the specified material or equipment.
