Section 106 Submittals

106.1 General

This section specifies the administrative, technical and quality requirements for vendor data submittals. Submittal requirements are identified in individual specification sections. Any and all items in these specifications are subject to these submittal requirements. In the event of conflicting requirements, the submittal requirements prescribed in the individual specification section shall prevail.

The Contractor shall submit data, drawings, and all other submittals as specified herein.

Work includes, but is not limited to: The preparation, transmittal and delivery of documents by the Contractor to the Contracting Officer as required in the “Submittals” subdivision of the specification section and as provided by the Contractor on the Submittal List.

Transmit each submittal on a form accepted by the Contracting Officer. Submittal form AF Form 3000 is required to accompany each submittal.

Submittals shall include shop drawings, product data, samples, and administrative submittals presented for review and approval. Other requirements pertaining to submittals are included in General Conditions, Special Conditions, Drawings, Submittal Schedules, and other sections of the Technical Specifications.

2. Product data

3. Administrative submittals including but not limited to:

c. Test reports

106.2 Procedures for Submittals

General Procedures:

1. Vendor data, whether prepared by the Contractor or Contractor’s sub tier or supplier, shall be submitted as instruments of the Contractor. Therefore, prior to submittal, the Contractor shall ascertain that material and equipment covered by the submittal and the contents of the submittal itself, meet all the requirements of the Contract specifications, drawings, or other contract documents.

2. Each submittal shall contain identification for each separable and separate piece of material or equipment, and literature with respect to the information provided in the specification and on the Submittal Schedule as provided by the Contractor (reference AF Form 66).

Prepare and maintain an Air Force submittal register (AF Form 66) prior to commencement of construction, ordering or manufacturing of any major components. Additional details concerning the use of the submittal register will be explained at the preconstruction conference on request.

Scheduling:

1. Coordinate scheduling, sequencing, preparing and processing of submittals with performance of the work so that work will not be delayed by submittal processing. Allow time for the potential requirement to resubmit. Contractor shall note that a prompt review is dependent on timely and complete submittals in strict accordance with these instructions. The contract completion date will not be extended due to non-compliance with submittal requirements.

2. Except as specified otherwise, allow a review period, beginning with receipt by the approving authority that includes at least 10 working days for submittals for Contracting Officer approval. The period of review for submittals with Contracting Officer approval begins when the Government receives the submittal from the Contractor. The period of review for each resubmittal is the same as for the initial submittal.

Variations from contract requirements require Government approval pursuant to Contact Clause entitles “Specifications and Drawings for Construction” and will be considered where advantageous to the Government. When proposing a variation, submit a written request to the Contracting Officer, with documentation of the nature and features of the variation and why the variation is desirable and beneficial to the Government. If lower cost is a benefit, also include an estimate of the cost saving. Identify the proposed variation separately and include the documentation for the proposed variation along with the required submittal for the item. When submitting a variation for approval, the Contractor warrants the following:

1. Variation is Compatible: The contract has been reviewed to establish that the variation, if incorporated, will be compatible with other elements of the work.

2. Contractor is Responsible: The Contractor shall take actions necessary due to the proposed variation.

3. Review Schedule Is Modified: In addition to the normal submittal review period, a period of at least 10 working days will be allowed for consideration by the Government of submittals with variations.

Submittals requiring Government approval will be reviewed at no cost to the Contractor. The contract completion date will not be extended due to non-compliance with submittal requirements.

Contractor’s Responsibilities:

1. Determine and verify field measurements, materials, field construction criteria; review each submittal; and check and coordinate each submittal with requirements of the work and contract documents.

2. Transmit submittals to the Contracting Officer in orderly sequence to prevent delays in the work, delays to the Government, or delays to separate contractors.

3. Advise the Contracting Officer of variations, as required by the paragraph entitled “Variations.”

4. Correct and resubmit submittal as directed by the approving authority. Direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted submittal, to revisions not requested by the approving authority on previous submissions.

5. Furnish number of copies indicated on AF Form 66.

6. Complete work which must be accomplished as a basis of a submittal in time to allow the submittal to occur as scheduled.

7. Ensure no work has begun until submittals for that work have been returned as

“approved,” or “approved as noted” or “approved except as noted; resubmission not required,” except to the extent that a portion of the work must be accomplished as a basis of the submittal.

Constraints:

1. Submittals listed or specified in this contract shall conform to the provisions of this section, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

2. Submittals shall be complete for each definable feature of work; components of the definable feature interrelated as a system shall be submitted at the same time.

3. When acceptability of a submittal is dependent on conditions, items, or materials included in separate subsequent submittals, the submittal will be returned without review.

4. Approval of a separate material, product, or component does not imply approval of assembly in which the item functions.

Government’s Responsibilities. When the approving authority is the Contracting Officer, the Government will:

1. Note the date on which the submittal was received from the Contractor, on each submittal for which the Contracting Officer is the approving.

2. Review submittals for approval within the scheduling period specified and only for conformance with project design concepts and compliance with the contract documents.

3. Identify returned submittals with one of the actions defined on the Air Force Form 3000 with comments.

4. Retain three copies of each submittal, except for “Samples,” wherein one copy will be retained.

a. Actions Possible. Submittals will be returned with one of the following notations:

5. Submittals marked “not reviewed” will indicate the submittal has been previously reviewed and approved, is not required as a submittal, does not have evidence of being reviewed and approved by the Contractor, or is not complete. A submittal marked “not reviewed” will be returned with an explanation of the reason it is not reviewed. Returned submittals deemed to lack review by the Contractor or to be incomplete shall be resubmitted with appropriate action, coordination, or change.

6. Submittals marked “approved” authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work covered.

7. Submittals marked “approved with comments” authorize the Contractor to precede with the work as noted provided the Contractor takes no exception to the comments.

8. Submittals marked “disapproved” indicate the submittal is incomplete or does not comply with the design concept or the requirements of the contract documents and shall be resubmitted with appropriate changes.

106.3 Submittal Format

Transmittal and Disposition Form

1. Transmittal Form. Transmit each submittal, except sample installations and sample panels, to the office of the approving authority.
