PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Section includes requirements for the submittal schedule and administrative and procedural requirements for submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and other submittals.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Action Submittals: Written and graphic information and physical samples that require Architect's Contracting Officer responsive action.

B. Informational Submittals: Written and graphic information and physical samples that do not require Architect's Contracting Officer responsive action. Submittals may be rejected for not complying with requirements.

1.3 ACTION SUBMITTALS

A. Submittal Schedule: Submit a schedule of submittals, arranged in chronological order by dates required by construction schedule. Include time required for review, ordering, manufacturing, fabrication, and delivery when establishing dates. Include additional time required for making corrections or revisions to submittals noted by Architect Contracting Officer and additional time for handling and reviewing submittals required by those corrections.

1.4 SUBMITTAL ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

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

1. Coordinate each submittal with fabrication, purchasing, testing, delivery, other submittals, and related activities that require sequential activity.

2. Coordinate transmittal of different types of submittals for related parts of the Work so processing will not be delayed because of need to review submittals concurrently for coordination.

B. Processing Time: Allow time for submittal review, including time for resubmittals, as follows.

Time for review shall commence on Contracting Officer receipt of submittal. No extension of the Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals enough in advance of the Work to permit processing, including resubmittals. Submittals received after 1:00 PM will be considered to having arrived the following day.

NBFFCC-061000).

2. Transmittal Form for Electronic Submittals: Use electronic form provided by Contracting Officer.

E. Options: Identify options requiring selection by the Government.

F. Deviations: Identify deviations from the Contract Documents on submittals.

Officer’s action stamp.

4. The contractor is allowed (2) resubmittals for any one item or group of related items for a total of (3) reviews of any given item or group of items. If at that time the contractor has not provided the required, requested information, the Government shall be allowed a credit for additional review time and associated costs.

H. Distribution: Furnish copies of final submittals to manufacturers, subcontractors, suppliers, fabricators, installers, authorities having jurisdiction, and others as necessary for performance of construction activities. Show distribution on transmittal forms.

I. Use for Construction: Retain complete copies of submittals on Project site. Use only final action submittals that are marked with approval notation from Contracting Officer’s action stamp.
