SECTION 01330

SUBMITTALS

PART 1

GENERAL

1 .1 DESCRIPTION

A. The work of this section consists of submittal requirements before and during construction.

1 .2 RELATED REQUIREMENTS

A. Section 01770 – Project Closeout

1 .3 SUBMITTAL AND APPROVAL PROCEDURES

A. All material submittals shall be transmitted using National Park Service form CM-16, dated 4/00. (A copy of the form is included at the end of this section.) No action will be taken on a material submittal item unless accompanied by the transmittal form.

B. A submittal list has been attached to the end of this specification section for your convenience. The intent is to provide an overall summary of submittal requirements and not a comprehensive list. The terms and conditions of the contract still require you to satisfy the requirements of the individual specification sections regardless of what is shown on the submittal list. Forward submittals to Contracting Officer at least 30 days before need for approval. Unless a different number is specified, submit four copies of each shop drawing, four copies of manufacturer's catalog sheets (cut sheets), four specimens of each sample, and four copies of all other submittals requested.

1. Shop Drawings: Include the following information with each copy of shop drawings:

a. Date.

b. Date of revisions (when applicable).

c. Contractor's certification that shop drawing has been checked for compliance with contract documents.

d. Details of fabrication, assembly and erection including connections and engagement to contiguous work.

e. Materials used.

f. All required dimensions.

g. The term "by others" shall not be used. All work to be performed by others shall be identified by Contractor or subcontractor name, discipline, or trade.

2. Samples: Samples shall be large enough to illustrate clearly the functional characteristics and full range of color, texture, or pattern.

3. Manufacturers' Catalog Sheets: Submit only pertinent pages; mark each copy of standard printed data to identify specific products proposed for use.

4. Manufacturer's Installation Instructions: When contract documents require compliance with manufacturer's printed instructions, provide one complete set of instructions for Contracting Officer and keep another complete set of instructions at the project site until substantial completion.

C. Contracting Officer reserves the right to require submittals in addition to those called for in individual sections. If the contractor intends on supplying materials that differ from the salient characteristics specified in the individual sections, than a submittal will be required.

D. Approved Equals:

1. For each item proposed as an "approved equal," submit supporting data, including:

a. Drawings and samples as appropriate.

b. Comparison of the characteristics of the proposed item with that specified.

c. Changes required in other elements of the work because of the substitution.

d. Name, address, and telephone number of vendor.

e. Manufacturer's literature regarding installation, operation, and maintenance, including schematics for electrical and hydraulic systems, lubrication requirements, and parts lists. Describe availability of maintenance service, and state source of replacement materials.

2. A request for approval constitutes a representation that Contractor:

a. Has investigated the proposed item and determined that it is equal or superior in all respects to that specified.

b. Will provide the same warranties for the proposed item as for the item specified.

c. Has determined that the proposed item is compatible with interfacing items.

d. Will coordinate the installation of an approved item and make all changes required in other elements of the work because of the substitution.

e. Waives all claims for additional expenses that may be incurred as a result of the substitution.

3. Construction Materials: The Contractor is encouraged to submit for approval products made out of recycled or environmentally responsible material. Every effort will be made by the USDA Forest Service to approve these materials.

E. Coordinate all submittals and review them for legibility, accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements. Forward submittals that are related to or affect one another as a package to facilitate coordinated review. Each transmittal shall contain only data specific to that individual submittal.

F.

Documents required in division 1 are to be delivered under separate cover letter.

G.

Submittal Identification:

1. Contracting Officer will provide a project identification stamp which shall be applied by the Contractor. Identification shall include the project name, package number, project title, contract number, and transmittal number.

2. All sets of shop drawings, manufacturer's catalog sheets, samples, and other documents submitted to the Contracting Officer must have the identification information stamped on the submittal. If the material is bound it will not be necessary to stamp every page, but clearly stamp the cover page with the identification stamp.

3. Identification information shall be applied to the bottom right margin on each page. Identification information on samples shall be applied to the most readily visible area on the sample or on tags attached to sample.

H.

Submittal Numbering:

1.

Number each submittal consecutively.

2.

For re-submittals use the original submittal number, plus a letter suffix beginning with A.

3.

Additional re-submittals of the same item shall contain the original number with the next consecutive letter.

I.

Contracting Officer's Review:

1.

Submittals will be returned disapproved without technical review if identification information is missing, not filled in, or if placed on the back of the submittal; an incorrect number or format of submittals is provided; the transmittal form is incorrectly filled out; submittals are not coordinated; or submittals do not show evidence of Contractor's approval.

2.

Any work done or orders for materials or services placed before approval shall be at the Contractor's own risk.

3.

After reviewing submittals, the Contracting Officer will return one copy of form CM-16 and one copy of applicable (marked up) submittal sheets to the Contractor. Shop drawing review notations will be returned on the reproducible original shop drawing. All other submitted items will be retained. The Contractor is responsible for producing additional copies for his/her own use.

4. The returned submittal will be marked in one of three ways as defined below:

a. APPROVED: Acceptable with no corrections.

b. APPROVED WITH NOTATIONS: Minor corrections or clarifications required. All comments are clear and no further review is required. The Contractor shall address all review comments when proceeding with the work.

c. DISAPPROVED - RESUBMIT: Rejected as not in accordance with the contract or as requiring major corrections or clarifications. The Contracting Officer will identify the reasons for disapproval. The Contractor shall revise and resubmit with changes clearly identified.
