6.0 SUBMITTALS:

6.1 SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE: For some projects, a material submittal schedule will not be provided by the Government. Solicitation instructions will specify if offerors will be provided a material submittal schedule or if they are to include in their proposal a material submittal schedule. If the requirement for a material submittal schedule is absent from the individual solicitation documents, the following guidelines apply. After award, the Contractor awarded the contract shall complete and submit a material submittal schedule for approval by the Government. The Contractor shall identify all

Page. 4 of 56 planned submittals dates on the schedule. Submit the schedule to the CO within 30 calendar days after contract award or within another agreed to timeframe as directed by the CO.

6.2 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE: The CO may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Each submittal shall include an original AF Form 3000, Material Approval Submittal, and three (3) copies of supporting documentation. When available, the Government may request electronic copies of submittals via email, in lieu of hard copies. The availability and practicality of submitting electronically versus hardcopy will be discussed and agreed to during the initial pre-construction conference after contract award. In general, submittals shall be provided a minimum of 21 calendar days in advance of scheduled purchase to allow satisfactory time for government review. Additionally, unless stated otherwise, submissions on test results and other submissions of that nature shall be made within 14 days, after the work or test is performed. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail for ready determination of compliance with the contract requirements. Submittal items that are disapproved will be promptly corrected and resubmitted within 10 calendar days by the Contractor. No materials or equipment shall be ordered or installed until submittals are approved by the CO or his/her representative. The approved submittals shall be always available at the job site for inspection by the CO. All submittals involving color selections, patterns and other decorative architectural features shall be submitted at the same time for both interior and exterior materials.

6.3 SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same as those used in the contract drawings. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Submittals shall include items such as: Contractor’s work plans / schedules, material submittal register, samples, brochures, manufacturers data, product data sheets, shop drawings and/or certificates of materials (relative to the construction execution), Contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts or curves; installation procedures and recommendations; templates and other descriptive literature; test reports; test cylinders; samples;

O&M manuals (including parts list); certifications; warranties; and other such required submittals.

Catalog cuts and other descriptive data which may have more than one model or type shall be clearly marked to show the model, type, size, and all optional accessory equipment the Contractor proposes to install. Submittals on component items forming a system or interrelated items shall be submitted at one time as a single submittal in order to demonstrate that the items have been properly coordinated and will function as a unit. For example, for an air conditioning system, the submittals shall be made at the same time for piping, insulation, condensing units, air-handlers, pumps, valves, shop drawings, controls, and other components that make-up the required work feature. Contractor shall plan for and submit all submittals requiring Government approval prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby, in accordance with design criteria, specifications and Construction Requirements. If the material submittals provided are in variance from the design criteria and/or contract specifications, the Contractor shall describe such variations in writing at the time of submission and request a variance from the design criteria and/or contract specifications in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. Failure to provide such notification will not relieve the Contractor from his responsibility of meeting the design criteria and/or contract specifications regardless of whether or not the submittal is approved by the Government. Material submittals shall be as specified under each specification section. All the material submittals as indicated in the applicable specification section shall be submitted at the same time. If the submittal requirement is listed on the drawings, all material submittals of like work shall be submitted simultaneously along with all corresponding specification sections. A system of standard submittals for each Contractor will be used to minimize the submittal requirement. Failure to submit all material submittals associated with an individual specification section at the same time may be cause for rejection.

6.4 APPROVED EQUAL: The Statement of Work (SOW), drawings and the Technical Provisions of the specifications may, in some instances, refer to certain items of equipment, material, or article by trade name. References of this type shall not be construed as limiting competition but shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality.

Page. 5 of 56

6.5 SUBMITTAL CLASSIFICATIONS: Submittals are classified as follows:

a) GOVERNMENT APPROVED: Governmental approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as indicated on the Submittal Register or as designated by the CO.

Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled “Specifications and Drawings for Construction,” they are considered to be “shop drawings”.

b) RE-CERTIFICATION: Contractor shall provide the requested submittals unless otherwise specifically approved by the CO for the submittal in question. If approved and the Contractor intends to use previously approved materials or equipment, a letter certifying the specific material or equipment in lieu of a submittal is acceptable. Certification letter will contain the contract number and approved electronic copies of AF Form 3000 submittal.

c) APPROVED SUBMITTALS: The CO’s approval of submittals shall not be construed as a complete check but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, detailed and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error that may exist, as the Contractor under the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) requirements of this contract is responsible for dimensions, the design of adequate connections and details, and the satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the CO, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary.

d) DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS: The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the CO and furnish a corrected submittal. Corrected submittals shall be submitted within five (5) working days, or as required by the disapproved submittal, after receipt of disapproval, in the form and number of copies specified for the initial submittal. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, a notice in accordance with the Contract Clause “Changes” shall be given promptly to the CO.

6.6 MATERIAL APPROVAL SUBMITTAL FORM: (AF Form 3000) shall be used. The Contractor shall fill out and submit an electronic Material Approval Submittal (AF Form 3000) for all the equipment and materials that are required to be submitted. Submit the required material submittals and shop drawings to the CO for approval.

6.6.1 Submittal Scheduling: Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently. Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled. Adequate time (a minimum of fourteen

(14) calendar days) shall be allowed for review and approval.

6.7 SUBMITTAL REGISTERS (AF FORM 66): Submittal Registers shall be submitted by the Contractor at the time the 90 percent design is submitted or within fourteen (14) calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed and prior to any material processing.

6.8 CONTROL OF SUBMITTALS: The Contractor shall carefully control his procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the Contractor scheduled submittal date.

6.9 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS: Upon completion of review of submittals and approval by the Government, the submittals will be identified as having received Government approval and dated. One copy of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.
