SECTION 01 33 00 Page 13 pursuant to contract Clause FAR 52.236-21 Specifications and Drawings for Construction, and will be considered where advantageous to the Government.

1.9.1 Considering Variations

Discussion of variations with the Contracting Officer before submission will help ensure that functional and quality requirements are met and minimize rejections and resubmittals. When contemplating a variation that results in lower cost, consider submission of the variation as a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP).

Specifically point out variations from contract requirements in transmittal letters. Failure to point out variations may cause the Government to require rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the Government.

1.9.2 Proposing Variations

When proposing variation, deliver a written request to the Contracting Officer, with documentation of the nature and features of the variation and why the variation is desirable and beneficial to Government. Include the DOR's written analysis and approval. If lower cost is a benefit, also include an estimate of the cost savings. In addition to documentation required for variation, include the submittals required for the item.

Clearly mark the proposed variation in all documentation.

Check the column "variation" of ENG Form 4025 for submittals that include variations proposed by the Contractor. Set forth in writing the reason for any variations and note such variations on the submittal. The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted variations.

1.9.3 Warranting that Variations are Compatible

When delivering a variation for approval, the Contractor warrants that this contract has been reviewed to establish that the variation, if incorporated, will be compatible with other elements of work.

1.9.4 Review Schedule Extension

In addition to the normal submittal review period, a period of 14 calendar days will be allowed for the Government to consider submittals with variations.

1.10 SCHEDULING

Schedule and submit concurrently product data and shop drawings covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated. Submit pertinent certifications at the same time. No delay damages or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals.

a. Coordinate scheduling, sequencing, preparing, and processing of submittals with performance of work so that work will not be delayed by submittal processing. The Contractor is responsible for additional time required for Government reviews resulting from required resubmittals. The review period for each resubmittal is the same as for the initial submittal.

b. Submittals required by the contract documents are listed on the

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 14 submittal register. If a submittal is listed in the submittal register but does not pertain to the contract work, the Contractor is to include the submittal in the register and annotate it "N/A" with a brief explanation. Approval by the Contracting Officer does not relieve the Contractor of supplying submittals required by the contract documents but that have been omitted from the register or marked "N/A."

c. Resubmit the submittal register and annotate it monthly with actual submission and approval dates. When all items on the register have been fully approved, no further resubmittal is required.

Contracting Officer review will be completed within 21 calendar days after the date of submission.

1.11 GOVERNMENT APPROVING AUTHORITY

When the approving authority is the Contracting Officer, the Government will:

a. Note the date on which the submittal was received.

b. Review submittals for approval within the scheduling period specified and only for conformance with project design concepts and compliance with contract documents.

c. Identify returned submittals with one of the actions defined in paragraph REVIEW NOTATIONS and with comments and markings appropriate for the action indicated.

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval, stamp and date submittals. 1 copies of the submittal will be retained by the Contracting Officer and 1 copies of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

1.11.1 Review Notations

Submittals will be returned to the Contractor with the following notations:

a. Submittals marked "approved" or "accepted" authorize proceeding with the work covered.

b. Submittals marked "approved as noted" or "approved, except as noted, resubmittal not required," authorize proceeding with the work covered provided that the Contractor takes no exception to the corrections.

c. Submittals marked "not approved," "disapproved," or "revise and resubmit" indicate incomplete submittal or noncompliance with the contract requirements or design concept. Resubmit with appropriate changes. Do not proceed with work for this item until the resubmittal is approved.

d. Submittals marked "not reviewed" indicate that the submittal has been previously reviewed and approved, is not required, does not have evidence of being reviewed and approved by Contractor, or is not complete. A submittal marked "not reviewed" will be returned with an explanation of the reason it is not reviewed. Resubmit submittals returned for lack of review by Contractor or for being incomplete, with appropriate action, coordination, or change.

e. Submittals marked "receipt acknowledged" indicate that submittals have

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 15 been received by the Government. This applies only to "information-only submittals" as previously defined.

1.12 DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS

Make corrections required by the Contracting Officer. If the Contractor considers any correction or notation on the returned submittals to constitute a change to the contract drawings or specifications, give notice to the Contracting Officer as required under the FAR clause titled CHANGES. The Contractor is responsible for the dimensions and design of connection details and the construction of work. Failure to point out variations may cause the Government to require rejection and removal of such work at the Contractor's expense.

If changes are necessary to submittals, make such revisions and resubmit in accordance with the procedures above. No item of work requiring a submittal change is to be accomplished until the changed submittals are approved.

1.13 APPROVED SUBMITTALS

The Contracting Officer's approval of submittals is not to be construed as a complete check, and indicates only that the general method of construction, materials, detailing, and other information are satisfactory.

Approval or acceptance by the Government for a submittal does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for meeting the contract requirements or for any error that may exist, because under the Quality Control (QC) requirements of this contract, the Contractor is responsible for ensuring information contained with in each submittal accurately conforms with the requirements of the contract documents.

After submittals have been approved or accepted by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary.

1.14 APPROVED SAMPLES

Approval of a sample is only for the characteristics or use named in such approval and is not be construed to change or modify any contract requirements. Before submitting samples, provide assurance that the materials or equipment will be available in quantities required in the project. No change or substitution will be permitted after a sample has been approved.

Match the approved samples for materials and equipment incorporated in the work. If requested, approved samples, including those that may be damaged in testing, will be returned to the Contractor, at its expense, upon completion of the contract. Unapproved samples will also be returned to the Contractor at its expense, if so requested.

Failure of any materials to pass the specified tests will be sufficient cause for refusal to consider, under this contract, any further samples of the same brand or make as that material. The Government reserves the right to disapprove any material or equipment that has previously proved unsatisfactory in service.

Samples of various materials or equipment delivered on the site or in place

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 16 may be taken by the Contracting Officer for testing. Samples failing to meet contract requirements will automatically void previous approvals.

Replace such materials or equipment to meet contract requirements.

1.15 WITHHOLDING OF PAYMENT

Payment for materials incorporated in the work will not be made if required approvals have not been obtained.

1.16 STAMPS

Stamps on the submittal data to certify that the submittal meets contract requirements are to be similar to the following:

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 17

| CONTRACTOR |

| (Firm Name) | | _____ Approved | | _____ Approved with corrections as noted on submittal data and/or | | attached sheet (s) |

b. FIO and G submittal data shall be transmitted under separate ENG Form 4025s and assigned different Transmittal Numbers. If G and FIO submittal data is included in the same submittal, using the same ENG Form 4025, they will be considered an FIO submittal until the Contractor corrects the error.

c. The Contractor shall designate on each Eng Form 4025, above the Transmittal No., either FIO or G to show the transmittal type. This procedure allows ready identification of FIO or G submittals. The Government reserves the right to redesignate the category (G or FIO) of submittals incorrectly identified by the Contractor.

d. The Contractor shall assure all FIO submittals for each technical section are submitted prior to or concurrent with the G submittals for that technical section. If appropriate FIO submittals have not been submitted, the G submittal will be returned disapproved.

e. Data transmitted with ENG Form 4025 shall be identified by marking it with the same item number(s) appearing in the "Item No." column on the form. The model number, part number, color, etc., of proposed materials or equipment shall be highlighted or otherwise identified.

f. The Contractor shall identify and include with each submittal a

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 18 copy of any modification and/or Request for Information (RFI) or Government Correspondence that may have changed the requirments of the Contract in regards to each individual submittal.

2. Specific Requirements for For Information Only (FIO) Submittals

a. One fully coordinated FIO submittal shall be made for each technical section. Each FIO submittal listed on the ENG Form 4288, shall be submitted as a separate item on the ENG Form 4025 in the order they appear on the progress schedule. Technical data provided with the ENG Form 4025 shall conform to the "Submittals" paragraph in each Technical Section. (Example: SD-02 Shop Drawings as outlined herein.)

Explanation shall include the estimated delivery date of the above equipment/material and the Transmittal Number of the submittal that will contain data required by the particular specification section for the remaining equipment/materials. For contracts with several buildings/structures, separate transmittals for each technical section may be used if each building/structure is noted in the "Remarks" section of the ENG Form 4025. Samples of materials shall be submitted along with technical data, not under separate transmittals.

2.1 FIO Submittal Review

a. The Contractor's Quality Control (CQC) Representative has full responsibility for reviewing and certifying that all FIO submittal data and all equipment and/or materials comply with the contract. FIO Submittals are provided to the Government "For Information Purposes Only." Contracting Officer approval is not required and will not be given. The Government will not code any FIO submittals. Copies of FIO Submittals will not be returned to the Contractor.

b. However, the Government may perform QA reviews and re-reviews of FIO submittals at any time during the contract.

Comments will state, "Disagree with Contractor's Certified Compliance" and list items not in compliance or not provided as required by the Contract. The Contractor shall respond to all comments by return FIO resubmittal on a new ENG Form 4025. Repeated incomplete or non-complying FIO submittals with improper certifications may result in disapproval of the Contractor's Quality Control (CQC) Program and/or possible replacement of the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) personnel.

c. Performance of, or failure to perform QA submittal reviews or Government requirement to submit additional data on FIO submittals, will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement of non-conforming material incorporated into the work. No adjustment for time or money will be allowed for corrections required

3. Specific Requirements for Government (G) Approved Submittals

a. The Contractor's Quality Control Representative is responsible for assuring all data submitted is complete and in compliance with contract requirements. The Contractor shall assure all FIO submittals are submitted prior to or concurrent with the G submittal for each technical section. If the FIO submittals have not been submitted, the G submittal will be returned disapproved.

b. A separate submittal shall be made for each technical section with G submittals. FIO submittal data shall not be mixed with G submittal data.

c. The Government will provide written comments as appropriate and assign action codes to each item outlined on the back of the ENG Form 4025. One (1) stamped and dated copy of the submittal, along with any comments, will be provided to the Contractor. Action Code "A"- Approved As Submitted, and Code "B"- Approved Except As Noted, constitutes Government Approval. The Contractor shall resubmit under a separate Transmittal Number all data necessary to show compliance with Government comments on all other action codes.
