1.11 COR DUTIES

A. Review required submittals with reasonable promptness and in accordance with schedule, only for general conformance to design concept of Project and compliance with information given in Contract Documents. Review shall not extend to means, methods, sequences, techniques, or procedures of construction or to safety precautions or program incident thereto. Review of a separate item as such will not indicate approval of assembly in which item functions.

B. Affix stamp and initials or signature, and indicate requirements for re-submittal, or review of submittal. The COR's action on submittals is classified as follows:

1. Reviewed: Submittal has been reviewed and appears to be in conformance to design concept of Project and Contract Documents. Contractor may proceed with fabrication of work in submittal.

2. Reviewed As Noted: Submittal has been reviewed and appears to be in conformance to design concept of Project and Contract Documents, except as noted by the COR. Contractor may proceed with fabrication of work in submittal with modifications and corrections as indicated by the COR.

3. Resubmit: Submittal has been reviewed and appears not to be in conformance to design concept of Project or with Contract Documents. Contractor shall not proceed with fabrication of work in submittal, but instead shall make any corrections required by the COR and resubmit for review.

4. Returned without Review: Submittal is being returned without having been reviewed because: 1) not required by Contract Documents; 2) grossly incomplete; 3) indicates no attempt at conformance to Contract Documents; 4) cannot be reproduced; 5) lacks Contractor's completed approval stamp; or 6) lacks design professional's seal when required by law or Contract Documents. If submittal is required by Contract Documents, Contractor shall not proceed with Work as detailed in submittal, but instead shall correct defects and resubmit for review.

C. Return 1 copy of submittals to Contractor. Contractor shall make additional copies as required.

D. The COR's review of submittals shall not relieve Contractor from responsibility for any variation from Contract Documents unless Contractor has, in writing, called the COR's attention to such variation at time of submission, and the COR has given written concurrence pursuant to Contract Documents to specific variation, nor shall any concurrence by the COR relieve Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in submittals.
