b. Product Data includes standard printed information on materials, products, and systems not custom-prepared for this project, other than the designation of selections from available choices.

c. Samples include both fabricated and unfabricated physical examples of materials, products, and work; both as complete units and as smaller portions of units of work; either for limited visual inspection or for more detailed testing and analysis. Mock-ups are a special form of Samples which are too large to be handled in the specified manner for transmittal of Sample submittals.

2. Informational Submittals are those technical reports, administrative submittals, certificates, and guarantees not defined as Shop Drawings, Product Data, or Samples.

Annotation shall also include proper identification of the submittal permanently attached to the drawing.

3. Reproductions or copies of Contract Drawings or portions thereof will not be accepted as complete fabrication or erection drawings. Contractor may use a reproduction of Contract Drawings for erection drawings to indicate information on erection or to identify detail drawing references. Whenever the drawings are revised to show this additional Contractor information, Engineer’s title block shall be replaced with Contractor’s title block, and Engineer’s professional seal shall be removed from the drawing. Contractor shall revise these erection drawings for subsequent Engineer revisions to the Contract Drawings.

D. Resubmission:
