If a submittal register is generated from SpecsIntact at this stage it would be 100+ pages. Since you have capped the requirements of the Tab A factor to 60 pages, we cannot provide a submittal register 1.) because it alone would exceed the page count and 2.) because the specs are not edited at this phase in design and the submittal requirements would not be accurate whatsoever. Please remove the requirement of a submittal register – it is apparent that Robins AFB does not require a submittal register to be submitted until the 100% Design Submission per 1.4.5.4 in Attachment #1 CEMACC SOW.
