1.03 GOVERNMENT’S ENGINEERING CONSULTANT DUTIES

A. Review required submittals with reasonable promptness and in accord 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 resubmittal, or review of submittal.

Government’s Engineering Consultant’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 reviewer. Contractor may proceed with fabrication of work in submittal with modifications and corrections as indicated by reviewer.

3. Reviewed As Noted-Resubmit: Submittal has been reviewed and appears to be in conformance to design concept of Project and Contract Documents, except as noted by reviewer. Contractor may proceed with fabrication of work in submittal with modifications and corrections as indicated by reviewer. Contractor shall make any corrections indicated by reviewer and resubmit for review.

5. 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.

6. For Information Only: Submittal has not been reviewed but is being retained for informational purposes only.

7. Void: Submittal is voided because it is no longer required or has been superseded by another submittal.

C. Return one electronic copy of submittals to Contractor. Contractor shall make additional distribution as required.

D. Review of submittals shall not relieve Contractor from responsibility for any variation from Contract Documents unless Contractor has, in writing, called Government’s Engineering Consultant’s attention to such variation at time of submission, and Government’s Engineering Consultant’s has given written concurrence pursuant to Contract Documents to specific variation, nor shall any concurrence by Government’s Engineering Consultant or other reviewer relieve Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in submittals.
