1.1 SUMMARY

The Contractor is responsible for total management of his work including approval, scheduling, control, certification of all submittals and compliance with all applicable Buy-American Act and Trade Agreement Act clauses. The submittal management system provided in these specifications is intended to be a complete system for the Contractor to use to control the quality of materials, equipment and workmanship provided by manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers and subcontractors. Review each submittal for contract compliance. This review is based on the contract drawings and specifications. Compliance with all applicable Buy American Act and Trade Agreement Clauses is to be included in this review. The Contractor must provide the country of origin on ENG Form 4025 for each item submitted. Submittals that comply will be forwarded to the Government. Submittals that do not conform will be returned to the originator to be corrected. The Submittal Register (ENG Form 4288) will be utilized to log and monitor all submittal activities. No construction or installation activities are to be performed until required approvals of applicable submittals have been made. Check to assure that all materials and/or equipment have been tested, submitted and approved during the preparatory phase of quality control inspections.

The Contracting Officer may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections.

Units of weights and measures used on all submittals are to be the same as those used in the contract drawings.

Each submittal is to be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements.
