1.2 GENERAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Coordination: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of construction activities and with the Submittal Schedule specified in Division 1 Section

"Construction Progress Documentation". Unless otherwise specified, submittals shall be transmitted via GSA’s electronic Project Management (ePM) system as PDF electronic files to

GSA according to the contractor’s approved construction schedule and submittal schedule. .

Transmit each submittal sufficiently in advance of the scheduled performance of related construction activities to avoid delaying the Work, allowing for the review times specified for submittals.

1. Coordinate each submittal with other submittals and related activities that require sequential scheduling, to allow for testing, purchase, fabrication and product delivery in a timely manner.

2. Schedule transmittal of different categories of submittals for the same element of Work and for different elements of related parts of the Work at the same time. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Contractor shall provide a complete submittal package for each

Division of the specification so as to enable the Government to review the related sections together. Coordinate submittals to enable approvals and acceptances so as not to inhibit orderly progress of the Work.

3. Post electronic submittals as PDF electronic files directly to the ePM system specifically established for the Project. GSA will return annotated file. Annotate and retain one copy of file as an electronic project record document file.

4. Allow sufficient time for submittal review, corrections following the initial review, and re-submittal review before activities scheduled after the submittal approval.

5. Failure on the part of the Contractor to indicate approval or acceptance on submittals prior to submission to Contracting Officer will result in their being returned to the Contractor without being acted upon.

6. Any resubmission required after Government review shall be made within 10 calendar days after return of the submittal, unless specifically authorized otherwise by GSA.

7. Submittals which are determined to be incomplete or otherwise substandard will be returned to the Contractor with no further review. Delays due to incomplete or rejected submittals will not be excused.

8. Construction will not be allowed to proceed if submittals are not received in a timely manner, and will not result in an extension to the Contractor's Construction Schedule.

9. Failure by the Contractor to provide the required submittals in a timely manner may result in withheld payments until submittals are up-to-date.

10. Maintain one complete set of submittals at project site.

11. Maintain an organized submittal register at project site. This will be an agenda item for progress meetings.

12. The contractor to schedule and allow a minimum of ten working days for the

Architect/Engineer submittal review. The comment period initiates upon the receipt of the submittal by the office performing the primary review. The period commences upon issue of the submittal by the office performing the primary review. In the event the architect/engineer receives an extraordinary lengthy or complex submittal whose review may not be able to be accomplished within the stipulated submittal review period, architect/engineer to notify the Construction Manager Agency (CMa) in writing with a

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES 01 33 00 - 3/7
