SECTION 01 33 00

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

PART 1 GENERAL

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 construction specifications.

No construction or installation activities are to be performed until required approvals and Government compliance reviews 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.

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

Contractor's Quality Control (CQC) System Manager shall check and approve all items prior to submittal; and stamp, sign, and date indicating action taken. Proposed deviations from the contract requirements are to be clearly identified. Include within submittals 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.

This section includes administrative and procedural requirements for construction submittals presented by the Contractor after the construction set plans and specifications have been accepted by the government.

Submittals requiring Government approval are to be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Submittal Descriptions (SD)

Submittals requirements are specified in the technical sections. Submittals are identified by Submittal Description (SD) numbers and titles as follows:

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

1.3 ELECTRONIC SUBMITTALS

Electronic format will be utilized for submission of construction submittal items required by the specifications.

1.3.1 File Format

Electronic submittals may be submitted by any means readily accessible to the Government including, but not limited to, the following:

E-mails with text and all attachments less than or equal to 14MB in size. The Government IT system does not currently support e-mail transmissions of greater than 14MB. Should this e-mail transmission

Section 01 33 00 Page 4 size limitation change during the course of the Contract, larger e-mail transmissions may become acceptable, but no time extensions will be granted for transmission errors resulting from oversized email attachments.

Means of transfer must provide documents freely accessible to the

Government. If the means of transfer is by e-mail, FTP repository, or similar, files shall be capable of being downloaded without errors or disruption. Regardless of the method of transfer, the files shall be able to be archived on Government IT systems without error or restriction.

Once provided, all submittal documents shall become Government property.

ZIP-file or similar archives requiring a password for access to the archive are permissible provided the password for the archive is static, permanent, not use-limited, and provided to the Government at the time of transmission.

Any individual files provided electronically to the Government in 'SECURED' format, password-protected, or utilizing any other such method of file restriction shall be deemed defective and returned to the Contractor for correction. Regardless of errors encountered during the electronic submittal process the Contractor shall be responsible for delays resulting from the inadequacy of media delivery method, file-formatting, or file restriction issues. No time extensions will be granted for delays resulting from improper file formatting, file restrictions, or inadequate file transfer methods.

Discussion and decisions on a consistent Means of transfer throughout the duration of the project will be made at the pre-construction conference. The format of electronic submittals is Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format

(PDF), compatible with Adobe X, unless agreed to and directed otherwise by the Contacting Officer's Representative.

1.3.2 Digital File Naming

Label and name electronic files delivered to the Government in a manner that is logical and consistent throughout the duration of the project. A file naming convention that clearly indicates the transmittal number, component of submittal, and revision number associated with the submittal will be discussed and confirmed at the pre-construction kickoff conference.

1.3.3 Content

Submit one (1) set of readily copied and legible electronic documents and associated matching ENG Form 4025 Transmittal Form. Duplicate copies of electronic submittals are not desired. Content and format of the electronic submittal shall conform to all requirements listed herein. Delivery methods of both electronic and hard-copy submittals shall remain consistent throughout the duration of the Contract, in compliance with Contract specifications.

1.3.4 Delivery

Delivery of submittals will be similar to those described in the "SUBMITTAL

ITEM PROCEDURES" paragraph below. Notifications of file transfers will be sent to the Government recipients listed below. The means of contact and notification by mail or email will be coordinated and confirmed at the pre-construction conference.

1.4 SUBMITTAL CLASSIFICATION

Submittals are classified as follows:

Section 01 33 00 Page 5

Unless directed otherwise, the words "Government Approval" associated with

"G" designated submittals are interpreted in the context of the below defined submittal types. Submittal Reviewers include the following:

COR – Contracting Officers Representative

CR - Government Conformance Review

1.4.1 Government Approved (G)

Government approval is required for any deviations from the Solicitation or

Accepted Proposal and other items as designated by the Contracting Officer.

Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled, "Specifications and

Drawings for Construction," they are considered to be "shop drawings."

1.4.2 Government Conformance Review (CR)

1.4.3.1 Substitutions

Unless prohibited or provided for otherwise elsewhere in the Contract, where the accepted contract proposal named products, systems, materials or equipment by manufacturer, brand name and/or by model number or other specific identification, and the Contractor desires to substitute manufacturer or model after award, submit a requested substitution for

Government concurrence. Include substantiation, identifying information and the DOR's approval, as meeting the contract requirements and that it is equal in function, performance, quality and salient features to that in the accepted contract proposal. If the Contract otherwise prohibits substitutions of equal named products, systems, materials or equipment by manufacturer, brand name and/or by model number or other specific identification, the request is considered a "variation" to the contract.

Variations are discussed below in paragraphs: "Designer of Record

Approved/Government Approved" and "VARIATIONS"

1.4.3.2 Construction Submittals

Government's concurrence are required for those submittals as directed by the Government. These submittals are to be reviewed and approved by the

Contractor's Quality Control Representative and the Contractor's Designer prior to submittal to the Government. Conformance review only checks for compliance with the RFP solicitation requirements. Conformance review of submittals or lack thereof by the Government does not relieve the Contractor of its responsibility for the design and construction. Typical submittals are listed below.

• All Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) submittals

• All System type testing procedures and acceptance reports (e.g., Fire

Detection, Fire Protection, Security/Communication Systems, etc.)

• All O&M Manuals

• Other final operational type submittals such as Spare Parts Data, Framed

Instructions, Warranty Information, etc.

1.4.4 Government Approved (GA)

In addition to the above stated requirements for proposed deviations to the accepted design, Government Approval and, where applicable, a contract modification are required before the Contractor is authorized to proceed with material acquisition or installation for any proposed variation to the contract (the solicitation and/or the accepted proposal), which constitutes a change to the contract terms. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled, "Specifications and Drawings for Construction," they are

Section 01 33 00 Page 6 considered to be "shop drawings." The Government reserves the right to accept or reject any such proposed deviation at its discretion.

1.5 PREPARATION

1.6 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Contracting Officer is not required on information only submittals. 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 the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications; will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement of nonconforming material incorporated in the work;

and does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or for check testing by the

Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe. For design-build construction the Government will retain 2 copies of information only submittals.

1.7 VARIATIONS

Variations from contract requirements require Government approval pursuant to contract Clause FAR 52.236-21 and will be considered where advantageous to Government.

1.7.3 Considering Variations

Discussion with Contracting Officer prior to submission will help ensure functional and quality requirements are met and minimize rejections and re-submittals. When contemplating a variation which 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 deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the

Government.

1.7.4 Proposing Variations

When proposing variation, deliver 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, including 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 which include proposed deviations requested by the Contractor. Set forth in writing the reason for any deviations and annotate such deviations on the submittal.

The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted deviations.

If revisions to the accepted design become necessary, submit a supplemental design package using the "Supplemental Design Certification and Transmittal

Form" The revisions will be considered a "Variation" and the list of deviations from the accepted design shall be outlined on the Design

Certification form. Variations from the Construction Set must be approved

Section 01 33 00 Page 7 by the Contractor's Designer, and Contractor's Quality Control

Representative and accepted by the Contracting Officer. The supplemental design submittal must include drawings, specifications, design analysis and calculations necessary to establish that the proposed revision satisfies the contract requirements.

1.7.5 Warranting That Variations Are Compatible

When delivering a variation for approval, Contractor, including its

Designer(s) of Record, warrants that this contract has been reviewed to establish that the variation, if incorporated, will be compatible with other elements of work.

1.7.6 Review Schedule Is Modified

In addition to normal submittal review period, a period of 10 working days will be allowed for consideration by the Government of submittals with variations.

1.8 SUBMITTAL ITEM PROCEDURES

1.8.3 Government Reviewed Design Construction Submittals

Except as noted below, all Government reviewed design construction hard copy submittals are to be submitted in three (3) copies.

1.8.4 Government Reviewed Construction, Government Approved (G-AO/G-RO) and FIO Submittals

Except as noted below, data for all Government Reviewed Construction and

Government Approved submittal items are to be submitted in one (2) copy

(hard copy submittals) to the COR (as directed). Copies are to be submitted using the transmittal form.

Except as noted below, data for all items listed as "FIO" Submittals in the various sections are to be submitted in three (3) copies (hard copy submittals). All three (3) copies are to be submitted to the COR (as directed) using the transmittal form.

All hard copy submittals must be presented such that they fit into a standard size (letter) cabinet file drawer. Larger drawings must be folded to fit and not rolled. See paragraph: ELECTRONIC SUBMITTALS above for electronic submittals.

All submittals must be reviewed and approved by the Contractor's Quality

Control Representative and Contractor's Designer prior to submittal to the

Government. A completed Government conformance review is required on all

Government Reviewed Construction submittals, prior to construction of the related items.

The Government has the option to review any For Information Only submittals.

1.8.5 Certificates of Compliance

mailto:Bartlett.harwood@usace.army.mil mailto:Edward.J.Coleman@usace.army.mil

Section 01 33 00 Page 9

Each certificate must be signed by an official authorized to certify in behalf of the manufacturing company and contain the name and address of the

Contractor, the project name and location, and the quantity and date or dates of shipment or delivery to which the certificates apply. Copies of laboratory test reports submitted with certificates must contain the name and address of the testing laboratory and the date or dates of the tests to which the report applies. Certification is not to be construed as relieving the Contractor from furnishing satisfactory material, if, after tests are performed on selected samples, the material is found not to meet the specific requirements.

1.8.6 Operation and Maintenance Data/Manuals

Where required by various technical sections, operations and maintenance data/manuals are to be provided by the Contractor in one (1) hard copy and three (3) separate electronic copies (three (3) CD-ROM copies), unless directed otherwise. Provide legible hard copies of the operations and maintenance data that are assembled in three-ring binders with index and tabbed section dividers and having a cover indicating the contents by equipment or system name and include the project title and location.

The legible electronic copies of the operation and maintenance data on the

CD-ROMs are to be in a Adobe Acrobat .PDF format (Version 9.0) and be organized using bookmarks that define the contents by equipment or system name and includes Project Name and Location, unless directed otherwise by the Contracting Officer. Include the same information on the CD-ROM cover.

Operation and maintenance data for mechanical and electrical systems are to be submitted for approval to the Contracting Officer 90 days prior to final tests of these systems, unless otherwise specified. Each operation and maintenance manual must contain a copy of all warranties and a list of local service representatives required by Section 01 78 36.00 24 WARRANTY OF

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN. If field testing requires these copies to be revised, they are to be updated and resubmitted for approval within 10 calendar days after completion of tests.

1.9 GOVERNMENT APPROVING AUTHORITY

When approving authority is Contracting Officer, the Government will:

a. Note date on which submittal was received.

b. Review submittals for approval within 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 entitled, "Review Notations," of this section and with markings appropriate for action indicated.

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval, stamp and date approved submittals. All copies of the approved submittal will be retained by the Contracting Officer. For electronic submittals, see paragraph: ELECTRONIC SUBMITTALS above. If the Government performs a conformance review of other Designer of Record approved submittals, the submittals will be so identified and returned, as described above.

1.10 DISAPPROVED OR REJECTED SUBMITTALS

Contractor shall make corrections required by the Contracting Officer. If the Contractor considers any correction or notation on the returned

Section 01 33 00 Page 10 submittals to constitute a change to the contract drawings or specifications; notice as required under the clause entitled, "Changes," is to be given to the Contracting Officer. Contractor is responsible for the dimensions and design of connection details and construction of work.

Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at the Contractor's expense.

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

1.11 APPROVED/ACCEPTED SUBMITTALS

The Contracting Officer's approval or acceptance of submittals is not to be construed as a complete check, and indicates only that design, general method of construction, materials, detailing and other information appear to meet the Solicitation and Accepted Proposal.

Approval or acceptance will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist, as the Contractor under the Contractor

Quality Control (CQC) requirements of this contract is responsible for design, dimensions, all design extensions, such as the design of adequate connections and details, etc., and the satisfactory construction of all work.

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.

1.12 WITHHOLDING OF PAYMENT

No payment for materials incorporated in the work will be made if all required Designer of Record or required Government approvals have not been obtained. No payment will be made for any materials incorporated into the work for any conformance review submittals or information only submittals found to contain errors or deviations from the Solicitation or Accepted

Proposal.
