Operations and Maintenance (O & M) Manuals shall be submitted to the Goverment utilizing RMS CM.

3.5.5 Submittal Numbering System

Instructions on the numbering system to be used for construction submittals follows:

3.5.5.1 Submittals

Submittals shall be listed on the Submittal Register (ENG Form 4288 in the Quality Control System (RMS CM) module) as follows:

a. List is prepared according to contract specifications and drawings, picking up all items involved in the project.

b. This list is divided into sections as indicated in the specifications for example:

01 80 00.12 10 Technical Requirements 01 32 17.12 10 Cost-Loaded Network Analysis Schedule (NAS) 01 33 00.12 10 Submittal Procedures for Design-Build Project 01 45 00.00 10 Quality Control

3.5.3.2 Numbering procedures for transmittal on ENG FORM 4025

a. Each section may include a list of items. All these items will then be listed with a progressive number within the sections they belong to, for example:

Sec. 01 80 00.12 10 will have 01800012 (Basic number) Item x will have 01800012-1 Item y will have 01800012-2 Item z will have 01800012-3

Sec. 01 32 17.12 10 will have 01321712 (Basic number) Item x will have 01321812-1; Item y will have 01321712-2; Item z will have 01321712-3

Sec. 01 45 00.00 10 will have 01450000 (Basic number) Item x will have 01450000-1 Item y will have 01450000-2 etc.

b. It is evident a transmittal will never show a Section number i.e., 01800012, 01321812 etc., since these are only the basic numbers of the system. Numbers on transmittals will be the item numbers, i.e., 01800012-13, 01321812-3, 01450000-2 etc. All items, as listed on the Submittal Register, will be submitted via a separate transmittal form ENG FORM 4025 thus avoiding getting together more than one item (as listed) and more than one number. There are items, on the other hand, which may be submitted all together on the same transmittal form. This must be established before submission is made.

c. Section 01 80 00.12 10 Technical Requirements - this section will have basic number 01800012 - all items relative to it will be listed one by one on separate lines. ONLY one transmittal number will then be given for all of

SECTION 01 33 00.12 10 Page 12 the item numbers listed. Each one of these items will be listed on the same Transmittal Number e.g., 01800012-5 in block "a" of ENG Form 4025 as item No.1, item No, 2, item No. 3:

3.5.5.3 Resubmittals

Should the Contractor be required to resubmit any transmittal, it will be accomplished by utilizing the same transmittal number followed by the number ".1" for the first resubmittal, ".2" for the second resubmittal, ".3" for the third resubmittal, etc. For example, a first resubmittal for specification section 01 80 00.12 10 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS would be written as 01800012-1.1, the second resubmittal would be written as 01800012-1.2, etc. The purpose of this system is to avoid deviations from Submittal Register as well as to avoid confusion arising from the use of more than one number on transmittal when more than one item number is submitted on the same form. This system will also facilitate the use, wherever required, on spread sheets and is compatible with Section 01 45 00.15 10 RESIDENT

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONTRACTOR MODE (RMS CM).

3.5.6 Variations

If design documents or construction submittals show variations from the contract parameters and/or requirements, the Contractor shall justify such variations in writing, at the time of submission. Additionally, the Contractor shall also annotate block "h" entitled "variation" of ENG FORM 4025. After design submittals have been reviewed and cleared for construction by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials, equipment, systems, and patented processes will be considered unless accompanied by the following:

a. Reason or purpose for proposed variation, substitution, or revision.

b. How does quality of variation compare with quality of the specified item?

This shall be in the form of a technical evaluation tabulating differences between the items originally specified and what is proposed.

c. Provide a cost comparison. This shall include an acquisition and life cycle cost comparison.

d. For proprietary materials, products, systems, and patented processes a certification signed by an official authorized to certify in behalf of the manufacturing company that the proposed substitution meets or exceeds what was originally specified.

e. For all other actions, a certification signed by a licensed professional engineer certifying that the proposed variation or revision meets or exceeds what was originally specified.

f. Advantage to the Government, if variation is approved, i.e. Operation and Maintenance considerations, better product, etc.

g. Ramifications and impact, if not approved.

If the Government review detects any items not in compliance with contract requirements or items requiring further clarification, the Contractor will be so advised. Lack of notification by the Contracting Officer of any non-complying item does not relieve the Contractor of any contractual obligation.

SECTION 01 33 00.12 10 Page 13

3.5.7 Non-Compliance

The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of any detected noncompliance with the requirements of this specification. The Contractor shall take immediate corrective action after receipt of such notice. Such notice, when delivered to the Contractor at the worksite, shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose of notification. If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No part of the time lost due to such stop orders shall be made the subject of claim for extension of time or for excess costs or damages by the Contractor.

3.6 REVIEW OF CONTRACTOR PREPARED DESIGN DOCUMENTS

3.6.1 General

The work under contract will be subject to continuous review by representatives of the Contracting Officer. Additionally, joint design review conferences with representation by all organizations having a direct interest in the items under review may be held. The Design-Build Contractor shall furnish all drawings and related documents to be reviewed at the review conference on or before the date indicated by the Government.

Additional conferences pertaining to specific problems may be requested by the Design-Build Contractor or may be directed by the Contracting Officer as necessary to progress the work. The Design-Build Contractor shall prepare minutes of all conferences and shall furnish to the Contracting Officer within seven (7) days after the conference.

3.6.2 Independent Design Review

The Design-Build Contractor shall have someone other than the Designer or Design Team perform an independent review of all specifications, drawings, design analysis, calculations, and other required data prior to submission to the Government. Upon completion of this review, the Design-Build Contractor shall certify that each design submittal is complete, accurate, is in strict conformance with all contract requirements, that repetition has been avoided, that all conflicts have been resolved, and that the documents have been thoroughly coordinated and cross checked against all the applicable disciplines to prevent the omission of vital information.

3.6.3 Contractor's Quality Control Organization Review

This review shall be for the purposes of eliminating errors, interferences, and inconsistencies, and of incorporating design criteria, review comments, specifications, and any additional information required. Design submittals submitted to the Contracting officer without evidence of the Contractor's certified approval will be returned for resubmission. No part of the time lost due to such resubmissions shall be made the subject of claim for extension of time or for excess costs or damages by the Contractor.

3.6.4 Government Review

The web-based reviewing tool DrChecks will be utilized for all design review comments and responses both from the Government and Contractor. Further information on DrChecks will be available at the Pre-Construction Conference.

The contractor shall not begin construction work until the Government has reviewed the contractor's design and has cleared it for construction.

SECTION 01 33 00.12 10 Page 14

Clearance for construction does not mean Government approval. Government review shall not be construed as a complete check but will evaluate the general design approach and adherence to contract parameters. The Government Review is often limited in time and scope. Therefore, the Contractor shall not consider any review performed by the Government as an excuse for incomplete work. Upon completion of the review, all comments will be forwarded to the Contractor. The Contracting Officer will indicate whether the design submittal has or has not been cleared for construction using the following action codes:

CODE DESCRIPTION STATUS

G Other (See Comments) Resubmit

X Receipt Acknowledged - Does Not Comply Resubmit

R Acceptable for Release for Construction Completed

K Government Concurs with Interim Design Completed

These codes shall NOT be used by the Design-Build Contractor. Design-Build Contractor's Quality Control Organization will annotate Block "g" entitled "FOR CONTRACTOR USE CODE" of Eng Form 4025-R using the action codes listed on the reverse side of the form.

Design submittals Cleared for Construction or Acceptable for Release for Construction by the Contracting Officer shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for any design errors or omissions and any liability associated with such errors, nor from responsibility for complying with the requirements of this contract.

3.6.4.1 Incorporation of Government Review Comments

The Contractor will be furnished comments from the various design sections of the Corps of Engineers Middle East District (MED), as well as from other concerned agencies involved in the review process. The review will be for conformance with the technical requirements and parameters of the contract documents. The Contractor shall either incorporate each comment or, if the Contractor disagrees technically and does not intend to comply with the comment(s), clearly outline with ample justification, its reasons for its noncompliance within five (5) days after receipt of the comment(s).

Additionally, the Contractor is cautioned in that if it believes the action required by any comment exceeds the requirements of this contract, that he should take no action and notify the Contracting Officer in writing immediately. The disposition of all comments shall be furnished in writing with the next scheduled submittal. The review comments and the submittal material for each design review will become the basis for any ensuing design work. Copies of the design review comments with the action taken on each comment noted, shall be bound in all succeeding volumes of the design analysis.

3.6.4.2 Conferences

As necessary, conferences will be conducted between the Design-Build Contractor and the Government to resolve review comments. There will be no

SECTION 01 33 00.12 10 Page 15 additional compensation for these conferences.

3.6.4.3 Design Deficiencies

Design deficiencies noted by the Government shall be corrected prior to the start of design for subsequent features of work which may be affected by, or need to be built upon, the deficient design work.

3.6.5 Design Discrepancies

The Design-Build Contractor shall be responsible for the correction of incomplete design data, omissions, and design discrepancies which become apparent during construction. The Design-Build Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with a proposed recommendation for correcting a design error, within three (3) calendar days after notification by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will notify the Design-Build Contractor of any detected noncompliance with the foregoing requirements. The Design-Build Contractor shall take immediate corrective action after receipt of such notice. Such notice, when delivered to the Design-Build Contractor at the worksite, shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose of notification. If the Design-Build Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No part of the time lost due to such stop orders shall be made the subject of claim for extension of time or for excess costs or damages by the Design-Build Contractor. Should extensions of design, fabrication plans and/or specific manufacturer's details be required as a result of a Government issued Change Order, the Government will make an equitable adjustment in accordance with Contract Clause 52.243-4 entitled CHANGES.
