C. Publication Dates: Comply with the standards in effect as of the date of the Contract Documents.

D. Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more standards is specified and the standards establish different or conflicting requirements for minimum quantities or quality levels, comply with the most stringent requirement. Refer uncertainties and requirements that are different but apparently equal to the COR for a decision before proceeding.

1. Minimum Quantity or Quality Levels: The quantity or quality level shown or specified shall be the minimum provided or performed. The actual installation may comply exactly with the minimum quantity or quality specified, or it may exceed the minimum within reasonable limits.

To comply with these requirements, indicated numeric values are minimum or maximum, as appropriate, for the context of the requirements. Refer uncertainties to the COR for a decision before proceeding.

E. Copies of Standards: Each entity engaged in construction on the Project must be familiar with industry standards applicable to its construction activity. Copies of applicable industry standards are not bound with the Contract Documents.

1. Where copies of standards are needed to perform a required construction activity, the Contractor shall obtain copies directly from the publication source and make them available on request.

F. Abbreviations and Names: Trade association names and titles of general standards are frequently abbreviated. Where abbreviations and acronyms are used in the Specifications or other Contract Documents, they mean the recognized name of the trade association, standards-generating organization, authorities having jurisdiction, or other entity applicable to the context of the text provision. Refer to Gale Research's "Encyclopedia of Associations" or ‘Columbia Books' "National Trade & Professional Associations of the U.S.," which are available in most libraries.

1.3 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

A. Number of Copies - Submit in ample time for approval before installation. Unless otherwise noted, submit two (2) hard copies of documents to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). One (1) hard copy will be retained by the COR. In addition to the hard copies, submit a soft copy. The time the government has to review will begin when the hard copies are received in hand. If additional copies are required, provide the quantity and submit additional copies to meet this requirement.

B. Time for Approval - Receive submittal approvals prior to starting the work. Time necessary for government approval or disapproval of samples, certificates, test reports, and shop drawings will not be more than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of an initial submittal. Subsequent re-submittal iterations will not be more than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt. All materials installed in the work shall match the approved submittals. After a submittal has been approved, no substitutions will be permitted without written approval by the COR. No extension of Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit to the COR sufficiently in advance of the Work to permit processing.

C. Submittal Approval - The checking, marking or approval of the submittal by the FAA shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the product or method of construction and detailing is satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for compliance with the specifications or for any error which may exist. The Contractor shall be responsible for the dimensions and design of adequate connections, details, and satisfactory construction of all work. Possible approval actions taken by the FAA include:

1. Approved as submitted - If "approved as submitted" is marked by the COR, each copy of the submittal will be identified as having received such approval by being stamped and dated. After submittal has been approved, no substitutions will be permitted without written approval by the COR.

2. Approved as noted - If "approved as noted" is marked by the COR, the submittal is satisfactory contingent upon Contractor acceptance of corrections, notations, or both, and if accepted, does not require resubmittal.

3. Not approved - If "not approved" is marked by the COR, the submittal data does not meet job requirements and the Contractor must resubmit. If the submittal is disapproved, the Contractor shall resubmit the corrected material in the same quantity as specified for the original submittal. Correct disapproved submittals and resubmit for approval by the COR.

Approvals of resubmittals require an additional fourteen (14) calendar days.

4. Distribution - Following response to the initial submittal, print and distribute copies to the COR, Government, subcontractors, and other parties required to comply with submittal dates indicated. When revisions are made, distribute to the same parties. Delete parties from distribution when they have completed their assigned portion of the Work and are no longer involved in construction activities.

5. Schedule Updates - Revise the schedule after each meeting or activity where revisions have been recognized or made.

D. Submittals - Submit shop drawings, material lists, and all other data required under various headings of these specifications necessary to permit commencement of work. COR will return the submittals within 30 calendar days after receipt, indicating approval or disapproval.
