The document is a Submittal Procedures specification for the City of Edinburg, Texas, detailing the comprehensive requirements for submitting various documents and materials during a construction project. The specification outlines the process for submitting a wide range of project-related documents, including Schedule of Values, Construction Schedules, Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, Operations and Maintenance Data, Manufacturer's Certificates, Construction Photographs, Project Record Documents, and Design Mixes. The document provides detailed guidance on the submission process, requiring contractors to schedule submittals well in advance, develop a submittal schedule with sufficient review time, and follow specific numbering and transmittal procedures.

The specification emphasizes the importance of high-quality submittals, requiring original catalog cuts, clean and legible copies, and prohibiting facsimiles. It establishes a maximum of three reviews for any single submittal, with additional reviews potentially resulting in recovery of review expenses from the contractor. The document also specifies that contractors assume risk for materials or equipment fabricated or delivered prior to approval, and that no material shall be incorporated into the work or included in progress payments until approved. The submittal process is designed to ensure that all project documentation becomes a vital part of the project record and can be referenced by the owner throughout the useful life of the project.
