1.5.2 Scheduling of Material Submittals - SUBMITTAL REGISTER (AF FORM 66)

a. Material submittals requiring government review and/or approval are defined in each section of the specification.

AF Form 66 contains a listing of items of equipment and materials for which submittals are required by the specifications; this list may not be all inclusive and additional submittals may be required. The contractor shall complete and submit the forms to the Contracting Officer for approval within 15 calendar days after Notice-to-Proceed or at the direction of the Contracting Officer. The approved submittal register will become the scheduling document and will be used to control submittals throughout the life of the contract. The submittal register and the progress schedule shall be coordinated. The Contractor shall carefully control his/her procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the Contract scheduled submittal date shown on the approved “Submittal Register.” Approval must be obtained from the Contracting Officer before the Contractor initiates any work for which material submittals are required. Submittals for critical items or long lead items shall be submitted individually to expedite processing.

b. The Contractor shall coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of the work so that work will not be delayed by submittal processing. Also, coordinate and sequence different categories of submittals for same work and for interfacing units of work, so that one will not be delayed by coordination with another.

c. Except as otherwise specified, the Government will have fifteen (15) working days, beginning with receipt by the Contracting Officer, for review and approval of each material submittal. The period of review is the same for both the submittal and resubmittal.

d. For submittals requiring approval by the Fire Protection Engineer, the Government shall have, beginning with receipt by the Contracting Officer, 30 calendar days for review and approval of the submittal. The period of review is the same for both the submittal and resubmittal.

e. Resubmittals for disapproved items shall be made within the time specified on the AF Form 3000 by the Contracting Officer.

1.5.3 Contractor Responsibilities

a. 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.

b. Ensure that material is clear and legible. Ensure required specialty stamps are affixed and signed.

c. Stamp each sheet of each submittal with the Contractor's certificating stamp, except that data submitted in bound volume or on one sheet printed on two sides may be stamped on the front of the first sheet only. Word the submittal stamp as follows:

"I hereby certify that the (equipment) (material) (article) shown and marked in this submittal is that proposed to be incorporated into Project Number

____________,_______, is in compliance with the Contract drawings and specifications, can be installed in the allocated spaces, and is submitted for Government approval.

Certified by __________________ Date _____________"

Note that this certification shall be placed on data attached to the AF Form 3000, not the AF Form 3000 itself.

d. Sign the Contractor's certification. The person signing the certification shall be one designated in writing by the Contractor as having that authority. The signature shall be in original ink. Stamped signatures are not acceptable.

e. Transmit submittals to the Contracting Officer in orderly sequence, to prevent project delays and delays in work by the Government or separate contractors.

f. Proposed deviations from the contract requirements shall be clearly identified. Advise the Contracting Officer of submittals which include a proposed deviation requested by the Contractor, the reason for deviation shall be annotated on the submittal. The notification shall be inserted directly under the AF Form 3000 and shall clearly state that the submittal includes deviations from the specifications and drawings. Government review, corrections or comments made on submittals do not relieve the contractor from compliance with the requirements of the drawings, specifications, addendums and contract documents. The government reserves the right to seek equitable compensation if submittals containing unnoted deviations are approved

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

h. Retain a copy of approved submittals at the project site, including the Contractor's copy of approved samples.

i. Furnish additional copies of submittals if requested by Contracting Officer, limit of 5.

j. Ensure no work is begun until the submittals for that work have been returned as "approved" or "approved as noted," except to the extent that a portion of the work must be accomplished as a basis of the submittal.

k. If an “or equal” product is submitted for approval, the contractor shall identify in the submittal what features are the same as the brand name product and what differences exist between the equal product and the brand name product.

1.5.4 Approving Authority's Responsibilities

a. Submittals will be reviewed for approval with reasonable promptness and only for conformance with project design concepts and compliance with the Contract documents.

b. Submittals will be returned with one of the following notations:

(1) Submittals marked "approved" or "approved as submitted" authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work covered.

(2) Submittals marked "approved as noted" authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work as noted provided the Contractor takes no exception to the notations and complies with all notations.

(3) Submittals marked "disapproved" indicate the submittal does not comply with the design concept or the requirements of the Contract documents and shall be resubmitted with appropriate changes.
