1.6.1.2 Construction contract number.

1.6.1.3 Date of the drawings and revisions.

1.6.1.4 Name, address, and telephone number of subcontractor, supplier, manufacturer and any other subcontractor associated with the submittal.

1.6.1.5 Section number of the specification section by which submittal is required.

1.6.1.6 Submittal description (SD) number of each component of submittal.

1.6.1.7 When a resubmission, add alphabetic suffix on submittal description, for example, submittal 18 would become 18A, to indicate resubmission.

1.10.2 Submittals called for by the contract documents will be listed on the register.

If a submittal is called for but does not pertain to the contract work, the Contractor is to include the submittal in the register and annotate it "N/A" with a brief explanation. Approval by the Contracting Officer does not relieve

01 33 00 Page 7 the Contractor of supplying submittals required by the contract documents but which have been omitted from the register or marked "N/A."

1.10.3 Re-submit register and annotate monthly by the Contractor with actual submission and approval dates. When all items on the register have been fully approved, no further re-submittal is required.

1.12.3 Submittals marked "not approved" or "disapproved," or "revise and resubmit," indicate noncompliance with the contract requirements or design concept, or that submittal is incomplete. Resubmit with appropriate changes. No work shall proceed for this item until re-submittal is approved.

01 33 00 Page 8

1.12.4 Submittals marked "not reviewed" will indicate submittal has been previously reviewed and approved, is not required, does not have evidence of being reviewed and approved by Contractor, or is not complete.

1.13 DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS: Contractor shall make corrections required by the Contracting Officer. If the Contractor considers any correction or notation on the returned submittals to constitute a change to the contract drawings or specifications;

notice as required under the clause entitled, "Changes," is to be given to the Contracting Officer.
