SECTION 01 30 00

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

1.0 SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS

A. This section specifies procedural requirements for non-administrative submittals, including but not limited to shop drawings, product data, manufacturer’s certificate, design data, calculations, and verifications, manufacturer’s instructions, manufacturer’s field service reports, samples, operation and maintenance manuals, and other miscellaneous work- related submittals. These submittals are required to amplify, expand, and coordinate other information contained in the contract.

B. The Contracting Officer may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections of the specification or statement of work.

C. Definition: For the purposes of this section, the term “Contractor” denotes the prime Contractor.

1.1 REFERENCES (Not Applicable)

1.2 SUBMITTAL CLASSIFICATION

A. Submittals are classified as follows:

1. Contracting Officer Approval: The Contracting Officer (CO) approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the CO. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled "Specifications and Drawings for Construction", they are considered to be "shop drawings.”

2. Information Only: All submittals not requiring the Government approval will be for information only. They are not considered to be "shop drawings" within the terms of the Contract Clause referred to above.

1.3 APPROVED SUBMITTALS:

A. The approval of submittals by the CO shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, detailing and other information are satisfactory.

B. Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error, which may exist, as the Contractor is responsible for the dimensions and design of adequate connections, details, and satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the CO, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be given consideration unless accompanied by an explanation as to why a substitution is necessary.

1.4 DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS:

The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the CO and promptly furnish a corrected submittal in the form and number of copies as specified for the initial submittal. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, notice as required under the Contract Clause entitled "Changes" shall be given promptly to the CO.

1.5 GENERAL:

A. The Contractor shall submit all items listed on the Submittal Register (Material Submittal Schedule (MSS), or equivalent) or specified in the other sections of these specifications. The CO may request submittals in addition to those listed when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same used in the contract drawings. Submittals shall be made in three (3) copies unless otherwise noted on the Submittal Register to the CO. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements.

B. Prior to submittal, all items shall be checked and approved and each respective transmittal form or material approval submittal (AF 3000, Material Approval Submittal) shall be stamped, signed and dated by the Contractor certifying that the accompanying submittal complies with the contract requirements. Submittals shall include line number of item from Government-prepared Submittal Register.

Proposed deviations from the contract requirements shall be clearly identified.

Submittals shall include items such as: Contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts, or curves; test reports; test cylinders; samples; O&M manuals including parts list; certifications; warranties and other such required submittals.

Submittals requiring CO approval shall be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby.

1.6 SUBMITTAL REGISTER: Material Submittal Schedule (MSS):

A submittal register on the MSS shall be provided to the Contractor as an attachment to the awarded contract. During the pre-construction meeting, the Contractor shall meet with the CO to jointly review the prepared Submittal Register.

The Contractor shall be responsible for providing all items listed on the Submittal Register in accordance with the scheduled submittal dates.

1.7 SCHEDULING:

A. Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated, shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently.

Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled.

The Contractor shall take special care to timely schedule the submittal date required for long lead-time items and shall allow 30 days for CO review action on all submittals except as noted below. No delays, damages, or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals.

B. All submittals will be made on AF 3000, Material Approval Submittal as specified below.

1. The number of days for CO action on the following submittals will be as indicated:

a. Submittals required on the MSS – 10 calendar days

b. Any submittal that requests or requires deviation from contract drawings or specifications – 14 calendar days

1.8 TRANSMITTAL FORM (AF 3000, Material Approval Submittal):

A. AF 3000, Material Approval Submittal shall be used for submitting both Government approved and information only submittals in accordance with the instructions on the reverse side of the form. These forms will be furnished to the Contractor by the CO. This form shall be properly completed by filling out all the heading blank spaces and identifying each item submitted.

B. Special care will be exercised to ensure proper listing of the specification paragraph and/or sheet number of the contract drawings pertinent to the data submitted for each item.

1.9 CONTROL OF SUBMITTALS:

The Contractor shall carefully control his procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittals made on or before the Contractor scheduled submittal date shown on the provided Submittal Register.

1.10 CO APPROVED SUBMITTALS:

A. Upon completion of review of submittals requiring CO approval, the submittals will be identified as having received approval by being so noted on AF 3000, Material Approval Submittal. Such submittals shall be made in accordance with the Construction Contract Clause entitled "Specifications and Drawings for Construction" and the following: unless otherwise noted on the Submittal Register and when submitting physical documents, three (3) prints of all drawings; or, if catalog cuts, printed specifications or similar publications are used as submittals, three (3) original copies shall be submitted. One corrected copy shall be returned to the Contractor. When submitting documents for review and approval via email, only one copy is required. In cases where "trade names or equal" specifications are used, any equal substitution by the Contractor will be considered a deviation and will require approval. Any submittal requesting a deviation shall be considered as one requiring "approval" action. Payment for materials incorporated into the work will not be allowed if required approvals have not been obtained. Upon completion of review of submittals requiring CO approval, the submittals will be identified as having received approval by being so noted on AF 3000, Material Approval Submittal.

B. Risk: Do not proceed with the part of the work covered by an item submittal including purchasing, fabricating, and delivering until approval is received.

Machinery, equipment, material, and articles that do not have the required approval shall be installed or used at the risk of subsequent rejection. Any fabrication or other work performed in advance of the receipt of accepted item submittals and approvals shall be entirely at the Contractor’s risk and expense.

1.11 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS:

All other submittals are considered to be "Information Only" submittals and may be subject to review action by the CO or may be simply receipt acknowledged. Any submittal “For Information Only” shall be clearly marked “FIO”. Normally, submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Construction Manager (CM) is not required on information only submittals. These submittals will be used for information purposes. The CO reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications and will not prevent the CO from requiring removal and replacement if nonconforming material is incorporated in the work. This also does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the CO laboratory or check testing by the CO, in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility of assuring that the materials and/or equipment covered by that submittal meets the contract requirements. Any such "For Information Only" submittal found to contain errors or omissions shall be resubmitted as one requiring "approval" action. All "For Information Only" submittals shall be made in triplicate unless otherwise specified.

1.12 PROCEDURES

A. Listing: At the end of this section is a summarized listing of item submittals requiring approval for the work. The listing is included for the convenience of users of the contract documents. The listing is not all-inclusive and additional item submittals may be required. Within 10 calendar days after receiving contract award, Contractor shall submit a copy of the summarized submittal listing with calendar dates assigned to each item submittal indicating when submittal will be received by the Government. If contract requires a pre-construction conference, Contractor may submit completed submittal listing at the conference. The list will be supplemented by submittals required for each task delivery order.

B. Transmittal Timing: Coordinate the preparation and processing of item submittals with the performance of the work. Prepare and transmit each item submittal to the Contracting Officer sufficiently in advance of the performance of related work and other applicable activities. Transmit related item submittals for the same unit of work so that processing will not be delayed by the Government's need to review submittals concurrently for coordination. No delay damages or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals.

C. Content: Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. All submittals which are generic and list more information than is specifically required shall be marked to identify required information. Complete AF Form 3000 and attach as cover sheet for each submittal. Contractor may include multiple item numbers on an AF Form 3000. (See paragraph 5.0A and 5.0B)

D. Language: All item submittals shall be written in English, including documents, notes on drawings, sketches, and/or samples, calculations, manuals, and all other instances of written text and communication.

E. Units: All item submittals shall be written in English, including documents, notes on drawings, sketches, and/or samples, calculations, manuals, and all other instances of written text and communication.

F. Review Time: Allow sufficient time so that contract performance will not be delayed as a result of the time required to properly process submittals, including time for re-submittals, if necessary. Allow 10 calendar days for initial Government processing of each submittal. No extension of time will be authorized because of the Contractor's failure to transmit submittals to the Government sufficiently in advance of the work.

G. Contractor Certification: All submittals shall be carefully reviewed by an authorized representative of the Contractor prior to submission to the Government. Each submittal shall be dated, signed, and certified by the Contractor as being correct and in strict conformance with the contract documents. No consideration for review by the Government of any Contractor’s submittal will be made for any items which have not been so certified by the Contractor. All noncertified submittals will be returned to the Contractor without action taken by the Government, and any delays caused thereby shall be the total responsibility of the Contractor.

H. Deviations: Should any item submittals required by the contract documents show deviations from the contract requirement, the Contractor shall make specific mention of such deviations in the letter of transmittal, including stating cost effects, and product and system limitations which may adversely affect the work, in order that if acceptable, suitable action may be taken for proper adjustment of the contract; otherwise the Contractor will not be relieved of the responsibility for executing the work in accordance with the contract documents and the approved submittals. Contractor shall clearly mark the proposed variation in all documentation and specifically point out deviations from contract requirements in transmittal letters. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the Government. Deviations from contract requirements require Government approval and will only be considered when advantageous to the Government. When proposing deviations, deliver written request to the Contracting Officer, with documentation of the nature and features of the deviation and why the deviation is desirable and beneficial to the Government. If lower cost is a benefit, include an estimate of the cost savings. In addition to documentation required for deviation, include the submittal information required for the item. Allow an additional 14 calendar days beyond normal submittal review period for consideration by the Government of submittals with deviations.

I. Approval Submittals: The part of the work covered by the approved item submittal may proceed provided it complies with the requirements of the contract documents. Final acceptance will depend upon that compliance. The term “Approved” shall only indicate that there is no exception taken to the submittal.

Approval of the item submittal shall not be construed as a complete check and indicates only that the general method or other information appears to meet the contract requirements. Approval does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist. After item submittals have been approved by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment, or changes to any other information will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution or change is necessary.

J. Disapproved Submittals: Contractor shall correct disapproved item submittals and resubmit for approval within timeframe noted. If no date is given, Contractor shall submit corrected submittal within 14 calendar days. If the Contractor considers any correction or notation on the returned submittal to constitute a change to the contract drawings, specification, or statement of work the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer.

K. Responsibility: The Government’s review of Contractor submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the entire responsibility for the correctness of details and dimensions and conformance to the specifications. The Contractor shall assume all responsibility and risk for any mistakes and/or costs due to any errors in submittals.

L. Inconsistencies: If a conflict or inconsistency arises between an approved item submittal and the contract documents, the contract documents shall govern.

1.3 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS

The controls and measures required by the Contractor are described below.

A. Stabilization Practices The stabilization practices to be implemented shall include, but not be limited to, temporary seeding, mulching, sod stabilization, vegetative buffer strips, protection of trees, preservation of mature vegetation, silt fences, ditch checks, hay bale buffers, etc. The Contractor shall record the dates when the major grading activities occur, (e.g., clearing and grubbing, excavation, embankment, and grading); when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a portion of the site; and when stabilization practices are initiated.

B. Structural Practices

Structural practices shall be implemented to divert flows from exposed soils, temporarily store flows, or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site. Structural practices shall be implemented in a timely manner during the construction process to minimize erosion and sediment runoff. Structural practices may include some or all of the following devices:

a. Silt fences

b. Straw bales

c. Diversion dikes

d. Drainage swales

e. Check dams

f. Subsurface drains

g. Pipe Slope drains

h. Level spreaders

i. Storm drain inlet protection

j. Rock outlet protection

k. Sediment traps

l. Reinforced soil retaining systems

m. Gabions

n. Sediment basins

o. Other devices are the jobsite requires

C. The permanent stabilization practices which are to be installed under the contract may be specified in other section of the specifications. These are measures that shall be installed during the construction process to control pollutants in storm water discharges that will occur after construction operations have been completed. Structural measures should be placed on upland soils to the degree attainable. The installation of these devices may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

D. A goal of 80 percent removal of total suspended solids from these flows which exceed predevelopment levels should be used in designing and installing storm water management controls (where practicable). Where this goal is not met, the Contractor shall provide justification for rejecting each practice listed above based on site conditions.

E. Velocity dissipation devices shall be placed at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel as necessary to provide a non-erosive velocity flow from the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological characteristics and functions are…
