1.5 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

1.5.1 Schedules

Within 15 days of notice to proceed, the Contractor shall provide, for approval by the Contracting Officer, the following schedule of submittals:

a. A schedule of shop drawings and technical submittals required by the specifications and drawings. Schedule shall indicate the specification or drawing reference requiring the submittal; the material, item, or process for which the submittal is required; the "SD" number and identifying title of the submittal; the Contractor's anticipated submission date and the approval need date.

b. A separate schedule of other submittals required under the contract but not listed in the specifications or drawings. Schedule will indicate the contract requirement reference; the type or title of the submittal; the Contractor's anticipated submission date and the approved need date (if approval is required).

c. Submittals called for by the contract documents will be listed on one of the above schedules.

If a submittal is called for but does not pertain to the contract work, the Contractor shall include it in the applicable schedule and annotate it "N/A" with a brief explanation. Approval of the schedules by the Contracting Officer does not relieve the Contractor of supplying submittals required by the contract documents but which have been omitted from the schedules or marked "N/A".

d. Copies of both schedules shall be re-submitted monthly annotated by the Contractor with actual submission and approval dates. When all items on a schedule have been fully approved, no further re-submittal of the schedule is required.

1.5.2 Data Submittals

Four (4) complete sets of indexed and bound product data shall be submitted. One set, marked with review notations by the Contracting Officer, will be returned to the Contractor.

1.5.3 Samples

One set of identified samples shall be submitted. A copy of the transmittal form, marked with review notations including selections by the Contracting Officer, will be returned to the Contractor.

SECTION 01330- 4

Samples that are intended or permitted to be returned and actually incorporated in the work are so indicated in the individual technical sections. These samples will be returned to the Contractor, at his expense, to be clearly labeled, with installation location recorded. Samples shall be in undamaged condition at the time of installation.

Where mockups and similar large samples are required by individual technical sections, it is recognized that these are a special type of sample which cannot be readily "transmitted" as specified for submittal of samples. Otherwise, and except as indicated in the individual technical sections, the requirements for samples shall be complied with and a transmittal form shall be processed for each mockup, to provide a record of the activity.

1.6 GOVERNMENT'S REVIEW

1.6.1 Review Notations

Contracting Officer will review submittals and provide pertinent notation within 10 calendar days after date of submission. Submittals will be returned to the Contractor with the following notations:

a. Submittals marked "approved" authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work covered.

b. Submittals marked "approved as noted" authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work covered provided he takes no exception to the corrections. Notes shall be incorporated prior to submission of the final submittal.

c. Submittals marked "return for correction" require the Contractor to make the necessary corrections and revisions and to re-submit them for approval in the same routine as before, prior to proceeding with any of the work depicted by the submittal.

d. Submittals marked "not approved" or "disapproved" indicate noncompliance with the contract requirements and shall be re-submitted with appropriate changes. No item of requiring a submittal shall be accomplished until the submittals are approved or approved as noted.

e. 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" shall be given to the Contracting Officer. Approval of the submittals by the Contracting Officer shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction and detailing is satisfactory. Contractor shall be responsible for the dimensions and design of connection details and construction of work. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at the Contractor's expense.

f. If changes are necessary to approved submittals, the Contractor shall make such revisions and submission of the submittals in accordance with the procedures above. No item of work requiring a submittal change shall be accomplished until the changed submittals are approved.

1.6.2 Sample Approval

Contractor shall furnish, for the approval of the Contracting Officer, samples required by the specifications or by the Contracting Officer. Shipping charges shall be paid by the Contractor.

Materials or equipment requiring sample approval shall not be delivered to the site or used in the work until approved in writing by the Contracting Officer.

Each sample shall have a label indicating:

SECTION 01330- 5

a. Name of project

b. Name of Contractor

c. Material or equipment

d. Place of origin

e. Name of producer and brand

f. Specification section to which samples applies

g. Samples of furnished material shall have additional markings that will identify them under the finished schedules.

Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer two samples of materials where samples are requested. Contractor shall transmit with each sample a letter, original and two copies, containing the above information.

Approval of a sample shall be only for the characteristics or use named in such approval and shall not be construed to change or modify any contract requirements. Before submitting samples, the Contractor shall assure that the materials or equipment will be available in quantities required in the project. No change or substitution will be permitted after a sample has been approved.

Materials and equipment incorporated in the work shall match the approved samples. If requested, approved samples, including those which may be damaged in testing, will be returned to the Contractor, at his expense, upon completion of the contract. Samples not approved will also be returned to the Contractor at its expense, if so requested.

Failure of any materials to pass the specified tests will be sufficient cause for refusal to consider, under this contract, any further samples of the same brand or make of that material. Government reserves the right to disapproved any material or equipment which previously has proved unsatisfactory in service.

Variations from contract requirements shall be specifically pointed out in transmittal letters. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the Government.

Samples of various materials or equipment delivered on the site or in place may be taken by the Contracting Officer for testing. Samples failing to meet contract requirements will automatically void previous approvals. Contractor shall replace such materials or equipment to meet contract requirements.

Approval of the Contractor's samples by the Contracting Officer shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities under the contract.

These forms will be furnished to the Contractor. This form shall be properly completed by filling out all the heading blank spaces and identifying each item submitted. Special care shall be exercised to ensure proper listing of the specification paragraph and/or sheet number of the contract drawings pertinent to the data submitted for each item.

3.5 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE

Submittals shall be made as follows:

3.5.1 Procedures

All submittals, except warranties and operating instructions, shall be made using AF Form 3000 no later than 15 days after receipt of the notice to Proceed, or as specified by the Contracting Officer.

Four (4) copies of all submittals are required to be sent to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will return one (1) copy of the submittals approved or disapproved within 10 working after receipt, using AF Form 3000.

The attached Submittal List is an itemized list of materials requiring drawings, wiring diagrams, certificates, manufacturers literature, data brochures, technical data and samples as noted to be submitted to the contracting Officer by the Contractor using AF Form 3000.

Approval of submittals does not relieve the Contractor from performance in strict accordance with the contract specifications and drawings, nor does such approval constitute "acceptance" under other provisions of this contract. Warranties and operating instructions are required at the completion of the

SECTION 01330- 7

contract work and no later than 30 days after final acceptance. Four (4) copies for all warranties and operating instructions shall be provided unless otherwise specified.
