C. Contractor's Responsibilities:

1. No time extensions will be granted, nor any consideration given to claims arising out of the Contractor's failure to submit any shop drawings, product data, samples, or related submittals which do not allow adequate time for revision resubmission and subsequent review by the Engineer.
