c. Submitted data shall be fully sufficient in detail for determination of compliance with the Contract Documents.

01300 Submittals Page 3 of 12

8. Before submission of each submittal, determine and verify quantities, dimensions, specified performance criteria, installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers, and similar data with respect thereto; review and coordinate each submittal with other submittals, requirements of the work, and Contract Documents.

9. At the time of each submission, provide mark-ups of the technical specification indicating each variation that the submittal may have from the requirements of the Contract Documents; if variations are not listed, it is assumed that the submitted equipment meets the specification. In addition, make specific notation on each shop drawing submitted to CO for review and approval of each such variation.

10. CO’s review will be only for conformance with the design concept of the project and for compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents, not extending to means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction (except where a specific means, method, technique, sequence, or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents) nor to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. The review of a separate item as such will not indicate review of the assembly in which the item functions.

11. CO’s review of submittals shall not relieve Contractor from responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless Contractor has in writing called CO’s attention to each such variation at the time of submission, and CO has given written approval of each such variation by a specific written notation thereof incorporated in or accompanying the shop drawing or sample approval; nor will any approval by CO relieve Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in the shop drawings or from responsibility for having complied with the provisions therein.

12. Where a shop drawing or sample is required by the Specifications, related work performed prior to CO’s review and approval of the pertinent submission shall be the sole expense and responsibility of Contractor.

13. Should the Contractor propose any item on his shop drawings, or incorporate an item into the work, and that item should subsequently prove to be defective or otherwise unsatisfactory, (regardless of the CO's preliminary review), the Contractor shall, at his own expense, replace the item with another item that will perform satisfactorily.

01300 Submittals Page 4 of 12

14. Review of first submittal and one resubmittal will be performed by the CO at no cost to the Contractor. Subsequent submittals will be reviewed by the CO; however, the CO will document the work-hours and other expenses required for such review(s) and the Contractor shall reimburse the Owner for the charges of the CO with a deduction from the Contractor's monthly pay estimate.
