B. Submittals may be in the form of digital documentation and/or actual physical samples as indicated.

C. All submittals must be submitted on the NPS - CM-16 form, and the CM-16 form must be filled out correctly with all the blocks completed as appropriate. If submittals are submitted without the CM-16 form, they will be rejected until submitted on correct form. This requirement for a CM-16 also applies if the Contractor provides submittals through ProCore or similar Project Management System, other than email.

D. Salient characteristics of the materials proposed for use shall be clearly identified in the submittal and must match the salient characteristics as stated in Scope of Work, Specifications, Drawings and/or other documentation.
