Permit. Dig- Safe Permits will include a map showing the "Excavation Area" and specific landmark indicators in the excavation area (building, road, sidewalk, etc.). Upon submission of the dig-safe permit, it is the responsibility of the COR to Pre-Mark the excavation area in "White".

It is the responsibility of the requestor to maintain the markings after the planned excavation date. In the event these markings are damaged or washed-off and the requestor is unsure of the marking’s locations, the requestor must contact the COR. Since markings are approximate, excavation must be performed with due care. When excavating in areas adjacent to marked utilities, only hand excavation will be acceptable.

Contracting Officer Representative will be contacted immediately. The O&M will take appropriate action to effect safe repair. If utility lines are uncovered which were not identified in the Dig-Safe, the O&M will be contacted, a determination will be made as to which utility is involved and whether the lines are active or abandoned. When an unknown line is uncovered, it will be treated as "live" until determined otherwise.

27. DIG-SAFE PERMIT PROCEDURES

27.1. Normal time for the return of Dig-Safe permit and to actual date of breaking of the ground surface will be within 15 days.

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

PART I GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY (Not Applicable)

1.2 REFERENCES (Not Applicable)

1.3 SUBMITTAL CLASSIFICATION

Submittals are classified as follows:

1.3.1 Government Approved (GA)

Governmental approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the Contracting Officer. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled “Specifications and Drawings for Construction,” they are “shop drawings.”

1.3.2. Information Only (FIO)

All submittals not requiring Government approval will be for information only. They are not considered to be “shop drawings” within the terms of the Contract Clause referred to above.

1.4 APPROVED SUBMITTALS

The approval of submittals by the Department of Public Works (DPW) COR is not to be construed as a complete check but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, detailing, and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist, as the Contractor under the CQC requirements of this contract, is responsible for the dimensions and design of adequate connections, details, and satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the COR, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be given consideration unless accompanied by an explanation as to why a substitution is necessary.

1.5 DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and promptly furnish a corrected submittal in the form and number of copies as specified for the initial submittal. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change of the contract, notice as required under the Contract Clause entitled “Changes” shall be given promptly to the COR.

1.6 WITHHOLDING PAYMENT

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

PART 2 PRODUCTS (Not Applicable)

PART 3 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall submit all items to the COR and Contracting Officer or specified in the other sections of these specifications. The COR may request submittals in addition to those listed when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same used in the contract drawings. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Submittals shall include items such as: Contractor’s, manufacturer’s, or fabricator’s drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts, or curves; test reports; test cylinders, samples; O&M manuals including parts list; certifications;

warranties and other such required submittals. Submittals requiring Government approval shall be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby.

3.2 SCHEDULING

Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently. Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled. Shop drawings, samples and descriptive literature shall be submitted to the Chief, Engineering, Plans & Services Division, DPW, not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of Notice to Proceed. The Government will require fifteen (15) calendar days to review and respond on these submissions, said period of time commencing on the day that the submissions are received in the Office of the Chief of Engineering, Plans and Services Division. All submittals rejected as unacceptable shall be resubmitted within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of Notice of Rejection has been given to the contractor. Submittals required for the contract are listed specifically under the Technical Provisions of these specifications. No delays, damages or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals.

3.3 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval, the submittals will be identified as having received approval by being so stamped and dated. One (1) copies of the submittal will be retained by the COR, one

(1) copy by the Contracting Officer and one (1) copies of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the COR is not required on information only submittals. These submittals will be used for information purposes. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications and will not prevent the COR from requiring removal and replacement if nonconforming material is incorporated in the work.
