PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Work related submittals including shop drawings, product data, samples and non-administrative miscellaneous submittals related directly to the work.

1.2 RELATED DOCUMENTS

Drawings and general provisions of Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other Division-1 Specification sections, apply to work of this section.

A. Coordination Drawings: The contractor shall work with appropriate subcontractors to provide coordination drawings for all work above ceilings. Drawings shall fully address mechanical, electrical, data, fire sprinklers, fire alarm, and other systems as appropriate.

1.3 RELATED SECTIONS

A. Section 011100 – Summary: Summary for general discussion of cloud-based project management during construction, which shall be provided and administered by the General Contractor. Particular requirements for its use are included in this Submittals section.

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS:

A. General:

Submittals, (as well as other project documentation, such as RFI, COR, ASI, drawings, specifications, etc.), will be handled through the cloud-based document management program described in this section.

B. The types of submittal requirements specified in this section include shop drawings, product data, samples, and miscellaneous work-related submittals. Individual submittal requirements are specified in applicable sections for each unit of work. Refer to other Division-1 sections and other contract documents for requirements of administrative submittals.

C. Definitions: Work-related submittals of this section are categorized for convenience as follows:

1. Shop drawings include specially-prepared technical data for the project, including drawings, diagrams, performance curves, data sheets, schedules, templates, patterns, reports, calculations, instructions, measurements and similar information not in standard printed form for general application to more than one project.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

SUBMITTALS 013300 - 2

2. Product data include standard printed information on materials, products and systems; not specially-prepared for this project, other than the designation of selections from among available choices printed therein. Include manufacturer's standard printed recommendations for application and use, compliance with standards, applications for labels and seals, maintenance information, and special coordination requirements for installation.

3. Samples include both fabricated and unfabricated physical examples of materials, products, and units of work; both as complete units and as smaller portions of units of work; either for limited visual inspection or, (where indicated), for more detailed testing and analysis.

a. Approved physical samples shall be delivered to the job site and be maintained in the job site office.

4. Miscellaneous submittals related directly to the work, (non-administrative), include warranties, coordination drawings, maintenance agreements, workmanship bonds, survey data and reports, physical work records, quality testing and certifying reports, copies of industry standards, record drawings, field measurement data, operating and maintenance materials, overrun stock, and similar information, devices and materials applicable to the work and not processed as shop drawings, product data or samples.

1.5 INTENT

A. The review of shop drawings is intended to be a preview of what the Contractor intends to provide and functions as an effort to foresee unacceptable materials or methods and to avoid the possibility of their rejection at the project site. Review of submittals will be only for conformance with the design concept of the project and compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents. Review of shop drawings does not preclude Contractor from meeting all requirements of the Contract Documents and providing the work as documented therein.

B. The Contractor is responsible for dimensions to be confirmed at the site; for information that pertains solely to fabrication processes or to the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures of construction; for actual quantities of items to be furnished;

and for coordination of the work of all trades. The Architect's approval of a specific item does not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.

1.6 GENERAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Coordination and Sequencing: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of the work so that work will not be delayed by submittals. Coordinate and sequence different submittals for same work, and for interfacing units of work, so that one unit of work will not be delayed for coordination with another. The Contractor shall provide a list of all required submittals, along with a sequence that the submittals will be provided, for review by the Architect.

B. No fabrication of work shall be done, or any parts thereof shipped to site prior to approval of required submittals for such work.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

C. Submittals will not be reviewed which do not bear Contractor's signature and statement that Contractor has reviewed submittal and the contents of the submittals are in full conformity with the contract documents, except as noted. Contractor will be held responsible for any delay in the progress of the work which may be due to his failure to observe these requirements, and the time for the completion of his contract will not be extended on account of his failure to submit information promptly.

D. Review Times: The schedule of shop drawings shall include 14 calendar days for review of each submittal by the Architect, although the Architect will attempt to review submittals as quickly as possible. For complex submittals allow for a ten-calendar day resubmittal review time by the Architect, if required. Revise submittal schedule and resubmit when progress deviates from previous schedule by 7 calendar days.

1.7 PREPARATION OF SUBMITTALS

A. Show Contractor's executed review and approval marking and provide space for Architect's "Action" marking. Package each submittal appropriately for transmittal and handling. Submittals which are received from sources other than through Contractor's office will be returned "without action".

1. Installer's Copy: Do not proceed with ordering or installation of materials, products or systems until final copy of applicable submittal is in possession of Installer.

1.8 ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTION AND COORDINATION OF SUBMITTALS BY CONTRACTOR

A. Provide additional distribution of submittals (not included in foregoing copy submittal requirements) to subcontractors, suppliers, fabricators, installers, governing authorities, and others as necessary for proper coordination of the work.

Include "range" samples (not less than 3 units) where unavoidable variations are to be expected and describe or identify variations between units of each set. Provide full set of optional samples where Architect's selection is required. Prepare samples to match Architect's sample where so indicated. Include information with each sample to show generic description, source or product name and manufacturer, limitations, and compliance with standards. Samples are submitted for review and confirmation of color, pattern, texture, and "kind" by Architect. Architect will not "test" samples (except as otherwise indicated) for compliance with other requirements, which are therefore the exclusive responsibility of the Contractor.

1.16 INSPECTION AND TEST REPORTS

A. Classify each as either "shop drawing" or "product data", depending upon whether report is uniquely prepared for project or a standard publication of workmanship control testing at point of production, and process accordingly.

1.17 MATERIALS AND TOOLS

A. Refer to individual work sections for required quantities of spare parts, extra and overrun stock, maintenance tools and devices, keys, and similar physical units to be submitted.

1.18 ACTION ON SUBMITTALS

A. Architect's Action: Where action and return is required, Architect will review each submittal and return with comments within a reasonable period of time. Where submittal must be held for coordination, Contractor will be so advised without delay.

B. Review comments may be interpreted as follows:

1. "Approved" or "Reviewed": Work may proceed, provided it complies with Contract Documents.

2. "Approved As Noted", “Correct as Noted”, or “Reviewed with Comments”: Work may proceed, provided it complies with notations and corrections on submittal and with Contract Documents. This may include some portions of submittals to be resubmitted or additional information to be provided.

3. Revise and Resubmit", "Not Approved", "Rejected", or “Submit Specified Item”:

Do not proceed with the work. Revise submittal in accordance with notations and corrections and resubmit without delay.
