H-4 REVIEW OF CONTRACTOR SUBMITTALS

The Physical Support Branch (PSB) of Operations Division, Philadelphia District, USACE will review the drawings, data and other material submitted by the Contractor in the various contract phases.

Submittals from the contractor must be clear as to what the submittal represents and the action the contractor requires performed.

The Government’s review is intended to be limited to the functional aspects of the submittals with limited technical review of general cursory nature only.

The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of the design embodied in the contract. Where review, approval, classification or certification by ABS, USCG or other regulatory agency is a provision of the contract, Government review of Contractor submittals may not address the requirements of those agencies. The contractor shall take into account that the Government approval of submittals will be contingent upon satisfactory fulfillment of those requirements.

Submittals found to be completely acceptable to the COR without comment will be marked “ACCEPTED - Resubmittal Not Required”.

Submittals found to be generally acceptable to the COR with qualifying comments will be marked “ACCEPTED” but may or may not require resubmission depending on the COR’s assessment of the criticality of the comments.

“ACCEPTED” submittals being resubmitted will be reviewed only to ensure that the previous comments have been adequately incorporated. Resubmission requirements will be clearly listed in the reply letter.

Submittals unacceptable to the COR will be marked “NOT ACCEPTED”. Submittals not accepted will always require full and complete resubmittal. Such resubmittal will result in a full and thorough review as though it was a first submittal.

The Contractor shall insure that all review comments are incorporated in corrected submittal documents or are rebutted in separate correspondence. The contractor is encouraged to completely discuss all submittal comments with the author in order to insure complete and effective communication.

The Contractor will not use the drawing review or submittal process for contract deviations. Changes in equipment, materials, construction techniques or details must be the subject of separate, specific correspondence.

All requests made by the Contractor for deviations, variations or substitutions must be specific and clear as to what is contractually required, the proposed change, location and/or extent, benefits resulting from the change and effect on contract cost and delivery. Refer to Section H-7.

Submittals for review by the Government after award of the contract will generally be return mailed within 14 calendar days after receipt.

Submittals for review by the Government prior to Notice to Proceed will be reviewed with 72 hours of receipt.

Contractors shall plan their submittal schedules so as not to affect contract performance.

H-5 SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

A. SUBCONTRACTING

After receiving the Notice To Proceed, the contractor shall submit a Subcontracting Plan for the contract. This should not be confused with the SUBCONTRACTING PLAN required of Large Business as a part of their affirmative action responsibilities.
