The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the sections are the correct length and provided in the correct quantities. Upon award, the Contractor is required to make site visits to confirm the length of sections required to be fully compatible with the existing equipment.

These drawings shall be complete and detailed. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to check and coordinate shop drawings of his subcontractors and suppliers prior to submitting them.

With each submittal of shop drawings, the Contractor shall certify that he has reviewed the shop drawings in detail and that they are correct and in strict conformance with the specifications except as otherwise explicitly stated. Upon completion of review by the Contracting Officer, if approved, each copy of the drawings will be identified as having received such approval by being so stamped and dated. The Contractor shall make any corrections required. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated to constitute a change to the contract specifications, notice as required under the contract clause, "Changes" shall be given to the Contracting Officer. Three sets of all shop drawings will be retained and one set will be returned to the Contractor. The approval of the drawings shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction and detailing is satisfactory. Approval of such drawings will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist as the Contractor shall be responsible for the dimensions and design of adequate details, and satisfactory construction of all work. Shop drawings shall be transmitted on ENG Form 4025. A letter of transmittal will not be required. The Contracting Officer will furnish a supply of forms for this purpose. All transmittals shall be in accordance with the instructions on the reverse side of ENG Form 4025 and each drawing submitted for approval shall be listed on a separate line of the form. Each drawing shall be provided, in the lower right-hand corner, with the name of the project, the contract number, a drawing number, and a white space 3x4 inches in which the action taken can be indicated. One copy of ENG Form 4025 indicating approval or corrective action required will be enclosed with the print returned to the Contractor. Promptly after approval three additional sets of prints of all shop drawings made on durable, permanent paper, shall be furnished for distribution.

All prints or shop drawings submitted for approval shall be clearly legible. Assembly of the affected items will not be permitted prior to receipt of these distribution copies of the shop drawings, unless such assembly is specifically authorized in writing.

Copies of laboratory test reports submitted with certificates shall contain the name and address of the testing laboratory and the date or dates of the tests to which the report applies. Certification shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from furnishing satisfactory material, if, after tests are performed on specific samples, the material is found not to meet the specific requirements.

Before final payment is made, the Contractor shall furnish the Government Representative all approved shop drawings on a compact disk in Portable Document Format (PDF). All parts shown on the drawings shall be referenced and numbered in order to facilitate identification of the various parts.

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
