Government’s review will not be for the purpose of checking dimensions, weights, clearances, fitting, tolerances, interferences, or coordination of trades or contractors. The acceptance of a separate item does not represent acceptance of an assembly in which the item functions. Government’s review and comments will in no way relieve Contractor of any of his responsibilities under the Contract.

B. Submittals will be marked as follows:

1. Accepted - Submittal appears to conform to Contract Documents and Contractor may proceed with ordering and installation.

E. Prepare and submit, with the Construction Schedule, a separate schedule listing dates for submission of major shop drawings, submittals, and material samples.

2.04 SHOP DRAWINGS

A. Submit shop drawings for all fabricated work, manufactured items and for all other items specifically required by the Specifications.

B. Subcontractors must submit shop drawings directly to the Contractor for the

Contractor’s review, approval and submission to the Government. Thoroughly check subcontractors' shop drawings for measurements, sizes of members, details, materials, and conformance with the Contract Documents. Return submittals which are found to be inaccurate or in error. Do not submit to the COR until corrections have been made.

C. Clearly show the relation of the various parts, and, where the Work depends upon field measurements, make measurements and include them on the shop drawings before submitting to the COR.

D. Reference all submissions to clearly indicate the Specification Section, location, service, and function of each particular item. Submissions for a single item, or group of related items shall be complete. When submitting manufacturers' catalogs, pamphlets or other data sheets, in lieu of prepared shop drawings, the contractor shall specifically identify in ink the items for which acceptance is being sought.

E. If the shop drawings contain any departures from the Contract requirements, specifically describe them in the Contractor's letter of transmittal.

Make drawings the same size as the Contract Drawings.

2.05 SAMPLES

A. Where required, submit sample or test specimens of materials to be used or offered for use. Samples shall be representative, in all respects, of the material offered or intended; shall be supplied in such quantities and sizes as may be required for proper examination and tests; and shall be delivered to the COR, prepaid, along with

Changes in system performance, equipment size, layout, installation, conduit and wiring connections (above and underground), or performance requirements including any impact to the mechanical systems, structural, and architectural will be engineered and confirmed in writing to the COR by the Contractor. All changes shall be fully coordinated with the other applicable trades. All costs for system re-engineering (in whole or in part), impacts to other trades, and schedules are the sole responsibility of the Contractor. Proposed substitutions and subsequent modifications are at no additional cost to the COR.

D. Equipment not listed specifically on the Drawings or in the Specifications shall be considered substitutes. Substitutions will be processed in accordance with Division 01.

Products submitted as substitutions after the award of bid will be rejected, unless specific written pre-approval from the COR is obtained. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that substitute items meet the intent and constraints of the project.

The Contractor shall compensate the Architect/Engineer for time spent reviewing submittals of substitute materials and equipment. The compensation shall be based on the Architect’s/Engineer's published hourly rate schedule for Senior Architect and/or Electrical Engineer’s service.
