A25-130 / 11-2025 01 33 00-5

B. By approving submittals, Contractor represents that they have determined and verified all materials, field measurements, and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and that they have checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents.

C. Where work is indicated "By others," Contractor shall indicate responsibility for providing and coordinating such work; whether by subcontractor or under separate contracts.

D. Contractor agrees that submittals processed by Architect are not substitutions or changes in scope of the Work; that purpose of submittals by Contractor is to demonstrate that Contractor understands design concept; that they demonstrate their understanding by indicating which equipment and material they intend to furnish and install and by detailing fabrication and installation methods they intend to use.

E. Contractor represents by submitting samples, shop drawing and product data that he has complied with provisions specified above. Submissions made without Contractor's approval indicated thereon will be returned without being reviewed for compliance with these requirements.

All such portions of the Work shall be executed in accordance with accepted submittals bearing the Architect's stamp.

3.03 ARCHITECT'S REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE

A. Architect's review and acceptance is only for conformance with design concept of Project and with information in Contract Documents. Architect's acceptance of a specific item shall not indicate acceptance of an assembly in which item is a component. The Architect’s review is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation of equipment or systems, which remain the responsibility of the Contractor. When professional certification of performance characteristics of materials, systems, or equipment is required by the Construction Documents, the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon such certifications to establish the materials, systems or equipment will meet performance criteria required by the Construction Documents.

B. Architect will review each submittal, mark it with appropriate action, and return it to

Contractor with reasonable promptness, except where it must be held for coordination, and the Contractor is so advised. Submittals will be marked by Architect as follows:

1. "Reviewed" indicates the drawings have been reviewed for conformance with design and no exceptions are taken. Proceed with the work.

2. "Make Corrections as Noted" indicates Contractor may proceed with the work as noted.

3. "Amend and Resubmit" indicates drawings to be revised and resubmitted for review prior to proceeding with the work.

4. "Rejected, See Remarks" indicates that the submittal does not comply with

Contract Documents.

5. The Architect shall make any and all comments in green ink and shall sign in green ink.

A25-130 / 11-2025 01 33 00-6

C. Submittals required to be submitted "for Architect's information only" are required to demonstrate that the Work complies with performance requirements of the Contract Documents. Such submittals, if acceptable to Architect, will not be returned to Contractor.

3.04 SUBMITTAL RETURN, RESUBMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

A. Architect will return reviewed and approved submittals in PDF format.

B. Resubmissions: In making resubmissions, follow the same procedures and formats required for original submissions. Make corrections and changes indicated by Architect on unacceptable submissions. In resubmission transmittals, identify clearly and direct specific attention to any revisions other than corrections requested by Architect on previous submissions.

C. Distribution:

1. Contractor is responsible for obtaining and distributing copies of submittals to their subcontractors and material suppliers after final acceptance. Prints of reviewed shop drawings shall be made from reproducibles that carry the Architect's appropriate stamp.

2. Contractor shall maintain a file of accepted submittals bearing the Architect's stamp for duration of project, which shall be delivered to Owner as a part of the Project's Record Documents.

3. The Contractor's superintendent also shall maintain an orderly file of all accepted submittals at the Project site. In the event that the Architect or Owner should question the installation of any aspect of the Work requiring accepted submittal data, the inability of the superintendent to produce the required accepted submittal data upon demand shall constitute cause for a "stop work" order to be issued on that particular questioned aspect of the Work and all relevant appurtenant work. The cause shall be equal to the Contractor's not having received required acceptance of the submittal data. If so issued, such "stop orders" shall not be considered valid justification for extensions of Contract time or claims for additional monetary compensation.

Oconee County Civic Center Re-Roof DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS A25-130 / 11-2025 01 42 00-1

SECTION 01 42 00

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

2. Specifications, format and content explanation

3. Drawing symbols

4. Industry standards

A. Certain terms used repetitiously in these Specifications and elsewhere in the Contract Documents are defined generally in this section. The definitions and explanations of this section are not necessarily either complete or inclusive, but are general for the Work to the extent such definitions or explanations are not stated more explicitly in another provision of the Contract Documents.

B. Approve: The terms "approve," "review," "inspect" and their variations, where used in conjunction with the Architect's actions on the Contractor's submittals, applications and requests, are limited to the responsibilities and duties of the Architect stated in the General Conditions and elsewhere in these Specifications. Such approvals shall not release the Contractor from their responsibility to fulfill the requirements of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.

C. Directed, Requested, etc: Where nor otherwise explained, terms such as "directed,"

"requested," "authorized," "selected," "required," and "permitted," mean directed by the Architect, requested by the Architect, and similar phrases. However, no such implied meaning shall be interpreted to extend the Architect's responsibility into the Contractor's area of construction supervision.

D. Indicated: The term "indicated" is a cross reference to details, notes or schedules on the

Drawings, other paragraphs or schedules in the Specifications, and similar means of recording requirements in the Contract Documents. Where other terms such as "shown," "noted," "scheduled," and "specified" are used, it is to help locate the reference; no limitation on location is intended except as specifically noted.

E. Refer: Used to indicate that the subject is defined or specified in further detail at another location in the Contract Documents, or elsewhere as indicated.

F. Furnish: The term "furnish" is used to mean supply and deliver to the Project site, ready for unloading, unpacking, assembly, installation, and similar operations, as applicable in each instance.

A25-130 / 11-2025 01 42 00-2

G. Install: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, the term "install" is used to describe operations at Project site including the unloading, unpacking, assembly, erection, placing, anchoring, applying, working to dimension, finishing, curing, protecting, cleaning and similar operations, as applicable to a material, product or system in each instance.

H. Provide: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, the term "provide" means to furnish and install, complete and ready for the intended use as applicable in each instance.

1.04 SPECIFICATION FORMAT AND CONTENT EXPLANATION

A. General: This section is provided to help the user of the Specifications understand the format, language, implied requirements, and similar conventions. None of the explanations shall be interpreted to modify the substance of the Contract.

B. Specifications Production: Portions of these Specifications have been edited by the

Owner and Architect and may contain minor deviations from traditional formats. Such deviations are a normal result of the production technique, and no other meaning will be implied or permitted. References to Specifications or Technical Specification, shall mean the same.

C. Specification Format: Although not all portions may fully comply, the format of these

Specifications is principally as described below. No meaning or significance is attached to such compliance or non-compliance.

1. Sections and Divisions: For convenience, the basic unit of the Specifications is a "section," each unit of which is named and numbered. These sections are organized into related families of sections which are categorized as "divisions."

These divisions are recognized as present construction industry practice on uniform organization and sequencing of specifications. Section titles are not intended to limit the meaning or content of a section, to be fully descriptive of the requirements therein, or to be an integral part of the text.

2. Section Numbering: Sections are given a numeric sequence to assist in cross referencing information in the Contract Documents. The numbering sequence, however, is not complete.

3. Parts: Each section has been divided into three or fewer "parts" (Part 1 - General, Part 2 - Products, and Part 3 - Execution). These titles do not limit the meaning of and are not an integral part of the text of the Specification requirements.

D. Specifications Content: The Specifications have been produced employing conventions in the use of language and in the intended meaning of certain words, terms and phrase when used in particular situations or circumstances. These conventions are explained as follows:

1. Language used in the Specifications is the abbreviated type. Implied words and meanings will be appropriately interpreted. Singular words will be interpreted as plural and plural words interpreted as singular where applicable and where the full context of the Contract Documents so indicates.

2. Specifying Methods: The techniques or methods of specifying requirements vary throughout the Specifications text, and may include "prescriptive," "open generic-descriptive," "compliance with standards," "performance," "proprietary," or a combination of these. The method used for specifying one unit of work has no bearing on requirements for another unit of work. Except for cases of overlapping or conflicting requirements as described in the following paragraph 3, where more than one set of requirements are specified for a

A25-130 / 11-2025 01 42 00-3 particular unit of work, the option is intended to be Contractor's regardless of whether specifically indicated as such.

3. Overlapping and Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two (2) or more industry standards or sets of requirements is specified, and overlapping of those different standards or requirements is specified, and overlapping of those different standards or requirements establishes two (2) different or conflicting levels of quality, the most stringent requirement is intended and will be enforced, unless specifically detailed language written into the Contract Documents clearly indicates that the less stringent requirement is to be fulfilled.

Refer uncertainties as to which of the two (2) levels of quality is more stringent to the Architect for a decision before proceeding.

4. Imperative Language is generally used throughout the Specifications.

Requirements expressed imperatively are to be performed by the Contractor.
