• Shop Drawings: Prepare Project-specific information, drawn accurately to scale. Do not base Shop Drawings on reproductions of the Contract Documents or standard printed data.

• Samples: Submit Samples for review of kind, color, pattern, and texture for a check of these characteristics with other elements and for a comparison of these characteristics between submittal and actual component as delivered and installed.

Informational Submittals: Written information that does not require Government’s responsive action. Submittals may be rejected for not complying with requirements.

• General: Prepare and submit Informational Submittals required by individual

Specification Sections.

• Informational submittals include but are not limited to Coordination Drawings, Certificates, Test reports, Manufacturer’s instructions, Division 01 Management

Plans, etc.

Contractors Review

Review each submittal and check for coordination with other Work of the Contract and for compliance with the Contract Documents. Note corrections and field dimensions.

General Submittal Procedures

Prepare and submit submittals using Transmittal Form CM-16 for products and materials shown in Part 4.0, Technical Requirements. Details on the specific requirements for each can be found in the individual technical sections.

Contracting Officer reserves the right to require submittals in addition to those called for in individual sections.

Coordination: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of construction activities. Review them for legibility, accuracy, completeness, and compliance with Contract Documents.

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

2. Partial submittals are not acceptable, will be considered non-responsive, and will be returned without review.

Processing Time: Allow enough time for submittal review, including time for re-submittals.

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 re-submittals.

1. Action Submittals: Allow 15 calendar days for initial review of each submittal. Allow additional time if coordination with subsequent submittals is required.

2. Informational submittals: Allow 10 calendar days for review of each submittal.

Electronic Submittals: Identify and incorporate information in each electronic submittal file as follows:

1. Transmittal Form: All submittals shall be transmitted using National Park Service form CM-16, which can be obtained from the CO.

a. Complete the general information at the top of the form.

b. Provide all required information based on the submittal type.

c. Attach all related documents.

d. Sign the CM-16 form in the contractor section at the bottom of the form.

2. Physical samples: Complete the CM-16 as described above. Deliver the physical sample to the CO (or designee) on site for processing.

Contracting Officer's Review

Action Submittals: Contracting Officer will review each submittal, generate comments on corrections or modifications required, and indicate the appropriate action on the Transmittal

Form. The submittal will be marked in one of three ways as defined below:
