B. Coordination: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of construction activities.

If resubmittal is necessary, process it in same manner as initial submittal.

A. EXECUTION

2.3 CONTRACTOR’S REVIEW

A. Review each submittal and check for compliance with the Contract Documents. Note corrections and field dimensions. Mark with approval stamp before submitting to Engineer.

B. Approval Stamp: Stamp each submittal with a uniform, approval stamp. Include Project name and location, submittal number, Specification Section title and number, name of reviewer, date of Contractor's approval, and statement certifying that submittal has been reviewed, checked, and approved for compliance with the Contract Documents.

2.4 ENGINEER’S ACTION

A. General: Engineer will not review submittals that do not bear Contractor's approval stamp and will return them without action.

Review of submittals by Engineer is only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents.

Review of submittals by Engineer is not for purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of dimensions and quantities, or substantiating installation instructions.

B. Re-submittal Review: Submittals marked as “Revise and Resubmit" or "Rejected" will be re-reviewed and stamped with an action stamp. Engineer will mark the stamp appropriately to indicate action taken. If the re-submittal is marked as “Revise and Resubmit" or "Rejected", the Owner will deduct the amount of the Engineer's compensation for subsequent re-submittal review from the final payment to the Contractor as provided on the Bid Form.

C. Action Submittals: Engineer will review each submittal, make marks to indicate corrections or modifications required, and return it. Engineer will stamp each submittal with an action stamp and will mark stamp appropriately to indicate action taken, as follows:

No Exceptions Taken: Where submittal is marked "No Exceptions Taken", the Work covered by the submittal may proceed provided it complies with the Contract Documents.

Make Corrections Noted: Where submittal is marked "Make Corrections Noted", the Work covered by the submittal may proceed provided it complies with both Architect/Engineer's notations and corrections on the submittal and the Contract Documents.

Revise and Resubmit: Where the submittal is marked "Revise and Resubmit", the Contractor may not proceed with the Work covered by the submittal, including purchasing, fabrication, delivery, or other activity for the product submitted. Revise or prepare a new submittal according to Architect/Engineer's notations and corrections.

Rejected: Where submittal is marked "Rejected", the Contractor may not proceed with the Work covered by the submittal. Prepare new submittal that complies with the Contract Documents.

Reviewed for General Conformance Only: This response is for when the Architect/Engineer is a secondary reviewer to a third party, or Architect/Engineer’s subconsultant is providing the primary review. The Architect/Engineer’s stamp will demonstrate the submittal was reviewed without providing direction to the submitting entity – because the primary reviewer makes the determination regarding the acceptability of that submittal. The language that would accompany this choice would be as follows: “Submittal was reviewed for general conformance to the project documents. Since Gresham Smith is a secondary reviewer to a subconsultant or third party, the acceptability of the submittal is determined by the Primary Reviewer, whose stamp also appears on the submittal. Based upon our review, we are returning this submittal with comments marked on the documents.”

Delegated Design - Reviewed for General Conformance Only: This response is for a special class of submittal – Delegated Design – where Architect/Engineer is reviewing the work of a licensed professional to verify conformance with Architect/Engineer’s original design documents.

The language that would accompany this choice would be as follows: “In accordance with the Project Specifications, the information contained in this submittal bears the seal of a Professional Engineer who is responsible for the preparation, design, completeness and accuracy of the information presented in this submittal. Since our office did not prepare or design the information presented in this submittal, review of this submittal is for general conformance with the Contract Documents only. It is not reviewed for completeness or accuracy. Based upon our review, we are returning this submittal without comments

D. Submittals not required by the Contract Documents will not be reviewed and may be discarded.
