TYPE OF DEVICES SHOWN PRIOR TO PREPARING SUBMITTALS.

19. ELECTRIC SWITCHES, THERMOSTATS OR OTHER ELECTRONIC CONTROLS IN THE SAME VICINITY SHALL BE MOUNTED AT THE SAME HEIGHT FROM FLOOR

(UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE) IN A UNIFORM, ORDERLY FASHION.

20. SUBMITTAL REVIEW - THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS PROVIDE SIZES, DIMENSIONS, PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS, ETC. CONTRACTOR SHALL VERIFY THAT SUBMITTALS ARE COORDINATED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. A/E REVIEW OF SUBMITTALS IS NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THAT SIZES, DIMENSIONS, ETC MATCH WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. ALL DEVIATIONS FROM WHAT IS SHOWN ON THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CLOUDED ON THE SUBMITTAL OR OTHERWISE CLEARLY BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE REVIEWER. FAILURE TO CLEARLY BRING ANY DEVIATION(S) TO THE ATTENTION OF THE REVIEWER SHALL BE UNDERSTOOD BY ALL PARTIES THAT WHAT IS SHOWN IN THE SUBMITTAL COMPLIES WITH THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE REVIEWER DISCOVERS THE DEVIATION.
