SUBMITTALS 013300 - 1

SECTION 013300 - SUBMITTALS

A. RELATED DOCUMENTS: Drawings and general provisions of Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other Division-1 Specification sections, apply to work of this section.

B. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS:

1. General: Submittals (as well as other project documentation, such as RFI, COR, ASI, drawings, specifications, etc.) will be handled through the cloud-based document management program described in this section.

2. The types of submittal requirements specified in this section include shop drawings, product data, samples and miscellaneous work-related submittals.

Individual submittal requirements are specified in applicable sections for each unit of work. Refer to other Division-1 sections and other contract documents for requirements of administrative submittals.

C. SUBMITTAL REGISTER: Prepare and maintain submittal register as the work progresses.

1. Definitions: Work-related submittals of this section are categorized for convenience as follows:

a. Shop drawings include specially-prepared technical data for the project, including drawings, diagrams, performance curves, data sheets, schedules, templates, patterns, reports, calculations, instructions, measurements and similar information not in standard printed form for general application to more than one project.

b. Product data include standard printed information on materials, products and systems; not specially-prepared for this project, other than the designation of selections from among available choices printed therein.

Include manufacturer's standard printed recommendations for application and use, compliance with standards, applications for labels and seals, maintenance information, and special coordination requirements for installation.

c. Samples include both fabricated and unfabricated physical examples of materials, products and units of work; both as complete units and as smaller portions of units of work; either for limited visual inspection or (where indicated) for more detailed testing and analysis.

1) Physical samples shall be delivered to the COR at the job site and be maintained in the job site office.

SUBMITTALS 013300 - 2

d. Miscellaneous submittals related directly to the work (non-administrative) include warranties, coordination drawings, maintenance agreements, workmanship bonds, survey data and reports, physical work records, quality testing and certifying reports, copies of industry standards, record drawings, field measurement data, operating and maintenance materials, overrun stock, and similar information, devices and materials applicable to the work and not processed as shop drawings, product data or samples.

D. Intent: Architect's review of shop drawings is intended to be a preview of what the

Contractor intends to provide and will function as an effort to foresee unacceptable materials or methods and to avoid the possibility of their rejection at the project site.

Architect will review submittals only for conformance with the design concept of the project and compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents. The Contractor is responsible for dimensions to be confirmed at the site; for information that pertains solely to fabrication processes or to the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction; for actual quantities of items to be furnished;

and for coordination of the work of all trades. The Architect's approval of a specific item does not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.

E. GENERAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:

1. Coordination and Sequencing: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of the work so that work will not be delayed by submittals. Coordinate and sequence different submittals for same work, and for interfacing units of work, so that one unit of work will not be delayed for coordination with another.

2. No fabrication of work shall be performed or any parts thereof shipped to site prior to approval of required submittals for such work.

3. Submittals will not be reviewed which do not bear Contractor's signature and statement that Contractor has reviewed submittal and the contents of the submittals are in full conformity with the contract documents, except as noted.

Contractor will be held responsible for any delay in the progress of the work which may be due to his failure to observe these requirements, and the time for the completion of his contract will not be extended on account of his failure to submit information promptly.

4. Review Times: The schedule of shop drawings shall include 14 days for review of each submittal by the Architect, although the Architect will attempt to review submittals as quickly as possible. For complex submittals allow for a ten day resubmittal review time by the Architect. Revise submittal schedule and resubmit when progress deviates from previous schedule by 7 days.

SUBMITTALS 013300 - 3

F. Preparation of Submittals: Show Contractor's executed review and approval marking and provide space for Architect's and COR’s "Action" marking. Package each submittal appropriately for transmittal and handling. Submittals which are received from sources other than through Contractor's office will be returned "without action".

1. Installer's Copy: Do not proceed with ordering or installation of materials, products or systems until final copy of applicable submittal is in possession of Installer.

G. Additional Distribution and Coordination of Submittals by Contractor: Provide additional distribution of submittals (not included in foregoing copy submittal requirements) to subcontractors, suppliers, fabricators, installers, governing authorities and others as necessary for proper coordination of the work. Include such additional copies in transmittal to Architect where required to receive "Action" marking before final distribution. Show such distributions on transmittal forms.

H. SPECIFIC-CATEGORY SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:

1. Shop drawing and product data submittals shall be transmitted to Architect in electronic (PDF) format using Submittal Exchange, ProCore, or a similar cloud-based website service designed specifically for transmitting submittals between construction team members, and overall management of documentation during the construction process.

2. The intent of electronic submittals is to expedite the construction process by reducing paperwork, improving information flow, and decreasing turnaround time.

3. The electronic submittal process is not intended for color samples, color charts, or physical material samples.

I. Procedures:

1. Submittal Preparation - Contractor may use any or all of the following options:

a. Subcontractors and Suppliers provide electronic (PDF) submittals to Contractor via the project management website.

b. Subcontractors and Suppliers provide paper submittals to General Contractor who electronically scans and converts to PDF format.

c. Subcontractors and Suppliers provide paper submittals to Scanning Service which electronically scans and converts to PDF format.

SUBMITTALS 013300 - 4

2. Contractor shall review and apply electronic stamp certifying that the submittal complies with the requirements of the Contract Documents including verification of manufacturer / product, dimensions and coordination of information with other parts of the work.

3. Contractor shall transmit each submittal to Architect, COR, and any other designted construction team members using the project management system.

4. Architect / Engineer review comments will be made available on the Submittal Exchange website for downloading. Contractor will receive email notice of completed review.

5. Distribution of reviewed submittals to subcontractors and suppliers is the responsibility of the Contractor.

J. Costs: General Contractor shall include the full cost of the project management system subscription in their proposal. This cost shall be included in the Contract Amount. The GC shall directly verify such costs with the service provider.

K. Internet Service and Equipment Requirements:

1. Email address and Internet access at Contractor’s main office.

2. Adobe Acrobat (www.adobe.com), Bluebeam PDF Revu (www.bluebeam.com), or other similar PDF review software for applying electronic stamps and comments.

M. Submit all submittals for equipment in a given system, such as an air handling system, at one time.

a. Piping, conduit, equipment, etc. submittals shall be accompanied with support/suspension information intended to be used for installation.

N. Samples: Provide units identical with final condition of proposed materials or products for the work. Include "range" samples (not less than 3 units) where unavoidable variations must be expected, and describe or identify variations between units of each set. Provide full set of optional samples where Architect's selection is required. Prepare samples to match Architect's sample where so indicated. Include information with each sample to show generic description, source or product name and manufacturer, limitations, and compliance with standards. Samples are submitted for review and confirmation of color, pattern, texture and "kind" by Architect. Architect will not "test" samples (except as otherwise indicated) for compliance with other requirements, which are therefore the exclusive responsibility of the Contractor.

SUBMITTALS 013300 - 5

O. Inspection and Test Reports: Classify each as either "shop drawing" or "product data", depending upon whether report is uniquely prepared for project or a standard publication of workmanship control testing at point of production, and process accordingly.

P. Materials and Tools: Refer to individual work sections for required quantities of spare parts, extra and overrun stock, maintenance tools and devices, keys, and similar physical units to be submitted.

Q. ACTION ON SUBMITTALS:

1. Architect's Action: Where action and return is required, Architect will review each submittal and return with comments within a reasonable period of time. Where submittal must be held for coordination, Contractor will be so advised without delay.

2. Review comments may be interpreted as follows:

"Approved" "Reviewed": Work may proceed, provided it complies with Contract Documents.

"Approved As Noted" “Correct as Noted” “Reviewed with Comments”: Work may proceed, provided it complies with notations and corrections on submittal and with Contract Documents. This may include some portions of submittals to be resubmitted or additional information to be provided.

Revise and Resubmit" or "Not Approved" "Rejected" “Submit Specified Item”: Do not proceed with the work. Revise submittal in accordance with notations and corrections, and resubmit without delay.
