c. Upon submittal of final design package and resolution of comments by the Contractor, the Government will sign final design package, when approved, and return electronic copy of signed design documents to the Contractor.

1.5.7.1 Actions Possible

Submittals will be returned with one of the following notations:

a. Submittals may be marked "approved." Submittals marked "approved" indicate a quality assurance (QA) review has been performed.

SECTION 01 33 10.05 20 Page 3

Government review or approval of any portion of the proposal or final design does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for meeting the contract requirements or for any error that may exist, because under the Quality Control (QC) requirements of this contract, the Contractor is responsible for ensuring information contained within each submittal accurately conforms with the requirements of the contract documents. Furthermore, Government review or approval of a submittal is not to be construed as a complete check.

b. Submittals marked "not reviewed" indicate submittal has been previously reviewed and approved, is not required, does not have evidence of being reviewed and certified by Contractor, or is not complete. Submittal will be returned with an explanation of the reason it is not reviewed. Resubmit submittals returned for lack of review by Contractor or for being incomplete, with appropriate action, coordination, or change.

c. Submittals marked "revise and resubmit" or "disapproved" indicate submittal is incomplete or does not comply with design concept or requirements of the contract documents and must be resubmitted with appropriate changes. If work has been started on the unacceptable portion of the design submittal, the Contractor must propose corrective action. No further work is allowed to proceed until the issue is resolved in a manner satisfactory to the Government.

1.6 DESIGN DOCUMENTS

Provide design documents that include basis of design, design drawings, and design specifications, reports, and submittal register in accordance with FC 1-300-09N , Navy and Marine Corps Design Procedures.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 CONTRACTOR'S RESOLUTION OF COMMENTS

Provide written responses to all written comments by the Government.

Resubmittal of an unacceptable design submittal must be a complete package that includes all the required, specified components of that design submittal. When required by the Government, Contractor resubmittal of design package, due to nonconformance to the contract, is not a delay in the contract.

3.2 DESIGN CHANGE AND VARIATIONS

A design change is when the design is revised from what was reviewed by the Government during any phase of the design process prior to Government approval of the Final Design. A variation is any portion of the design that differs from the requirements of the solicitation, accepted proposal, or final design after Government approval of the Final Design. Design changes and variations require Government approval and only variations that are advantageous to the Government will be considered. Refer to Section 01 33 00.05 20 CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES for further explanation and requirements of design change and variation. Discuss design changes and variations with the Contracting Officer before submission to address functional and quality requirements are met and minimize rejections and resubmittals. When contemplating a design change or variation that results in lower cost, consider submission of the variation as a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP).

The Contractor must immediately notify the Government of all potential design changes and variations via a Request for Information (RFI) which must be clearly marked as "DESIGN CHANGE" or "VARIATION" to the Contracting Officer. Design changes or variations that the Contractor asserts will require a contract modification to adjust the cost/price or schedule are not allowed to be incorporated in the design during any phase of the design process without prior documented approval from the Contracting Officer. Contractors will not receive compensation for any unauthorized design changes or variations which have been included in the Government approved Final Design. Include the following information in the design change and variation RFIs:

a. Indicate the RFP Parts, sections, and paragraphs affected by this design change or variation,

b. The scope of work of the design change or variation,

c. The reason for the proposed change,

d. Explanations of how the variation is advantageous to the Government.

e. Indicate which upcoming design submittal will be affected by the subject design change,

f. Explanation of contract cost/price and schedule impacts or provide an affirmative statement indicating that the design change or variation will not have an impact on the contract cost/price or schedule.

g. Coordination measures proposed to incorporate the design change or variation into the construction.

SECTION 01 33 10.05 20 Page 14

h. Upon request by the Contracting Officer, submit a cost proposal prepared using the UniFormat Work Breakdown Structure for all design changes and variations that have cost or schedule impacts. Submit a proposal that provides cost breakdown of each UniFormat system or subsystem that is applicable to the design change or variation.

Utilize the units of measure indicated in the UniFormat Structure at the NAVFAC DB RFP website, https://www.wbdg.org/ffc/navy-navfac/design-build-request-proposal .

3.3 THE CONTRACT AND ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
