Utilize the Naval Facilities Engineering Command’s (NAVFAC’s) Electronic Construction and Facility Support Contract Management System (eCMS) for the transfer, sharing and management of electronic technical submittals and documents. The web-based eCMS is the designated means of transferring technical documents between the Contractor and the Government. Paper media or e-mail submission, including originals or copies, of the documents identified in Table 1 are not permitted, except where eCMS is unavailable or non-functional. Contact the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) regarding availability of eCMS training and reference materials.

1.2 USER PRIVILEGES

The Contractor will be provided access to eCMS. All technical submittals and documents must be transmitted to the Government via the COR. Project roles and system roles will be established to control each user’s menu, application, and software privileges, including the ability to create, edit, or delete objects.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a “G” designation;

submittals not having a “G” designation are for Contractor Quality Control approval. When used, a designation following the “G” designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.

The following must be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00.00 33

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:

The use of a “G” following a submittal indicates that a Government approval action is required. Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 10.05 33 DESIGN SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and Section 01 33 00.05

– UNCLASSIFIED” (U) or “FOUO - UNCLASSIFIED-FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” (FOUO).

1.6 ECMS UTILIZATION

Establish, maintain, and update data and documentation in the eCMS throughout the duration of the contract.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) transmittal is not permitted in the eCMS.

1.6.1 Information Security Classification/Identification

The eCMS must be used for the transmittal of the following documents.

This requirement supersedes conflicting requirements in other sections), however, submittal review times in Section 01 33 00.00 33 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES remain applicable.

Table 1 - Project Documentation Types provides the appropriate U and FOUO designations for various types of project documents. Construction documents requiring FOUO status must be marked accordingly. Apply the appropriate markings before any document is uploaded into eCMS. Markings are not required on U documents. Table 1 also identifies which eCMS application is to be used in the transmittal of data (these are subject to change based on the latest software configuration). If a designated application is not functional within 4 hours of initial attempt, defer to the Submittal application and submit the required data as an uploaded portable document (e.g. PDF), word processor, spreadsheet, drawing, or other appropriate format. Hard copy or e-mail submission of these items is acceptable only if eCMS is documented to be not available or not functional. For Submittals, select the following:

Preparation by = Contractor personnel assigned to prepare the submittal Approval by = Contracting Officer Representative (COR) Returned by = Design Lead/Manager Forwarded to = Contractor project manager

1.14 COMPLETION INSPECTIONS

1.14.1 Punch-Out Inspection

Near the completion of all work or any increment thereof, established by a completion time stated in the Contract Clause entitled “Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work,” or stated elsewhere in the specifications, the QC Manager and the CA must conduct an inspection of the work and develop a “punch list” of items which do not conform to the approved drawings, specifications and Contract. Include in the punch list any remaining items on the “Rework Items List,” which were not corrected prior to the Punch-Out Inspection. The punch list must include the estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected. A copy of the punch list must be provided to the Contracting Officer. The QC Manager, or staff, must make follow-on inspections to ascertain that all deficiencies have been corrected. Once this is accomplished, the Contractor must notify the Government that the facility is ready for the Government “Pre-Final Inspection.”

1.14.2 Pre-Final Inspection

The Government will perform this inspection to verify that the facility is complete and ready to be occupied. A Government “Pre-Final Punch List” may be developed as a result of this inspection. The QC Manager must ensure that all items on this list are corrected prior to notifying the Government that a “Final” inspection with the Client can be scheduled.

Any items noted on the “Pre-Final” inspection must be corrected in a timely manner and must be accomplished before the contract completion date for the work, or any particular increment thereof, if the project is divided into increments by separate completion dates.

1.14.3 Final Acceptance Inspection

The Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer at least 14 calendar days prior to the date a final acceptance inspection can be held. The notice must state that all items previously identified on the pre-final punch list will be corrected and acceptable, along with any other unfinished Contract work, by the date of the final acceptance inspection.

The Contractor must be represented by the QC Manager, On-site Superintendent, and others deemed necessary. Attendees for the Government will include the Contracting Officer, other construction Office personnel, and personnel representing the Client. Failure of the Contractor to have all contract work acceptably complete for this inspection will cause for the Contracting Officer to bill the Contractor for the Government’s additional inspection cost in accordance with the Contract Clause entitled “Inspection of Construction.”
