SUBMITTALS

RELATED DOCUMENTS
A.
1.02
Drawings and general provisions of Contract, including General and
Supplementary Conditions and other Division-1 Specification Sections,
apply to this Section.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS
A.
Types of Submittals: Submittal requirements specified in this Section
include shop drawings, product data, samples, and miscellaneous workrelated submittals. Administrative submittals, project close-out, and
record document submittals are specified elsewhere in Division 1.
Specific requirements for work-related submittals (work of this Section)
are specified in applicable sections for each unit of work. Submittal
requirements are generally limited to "Product Confirmation" described
hereafter, unless shop drawings, product data, samples, or other
miscellaneous work-related submittal is specifically specified. Where
specified, the following definitions define requirements:
1.
Shop Drawings: Provide newly-prepared technical data
specifically for this project, including drawings, diagrams,
performance curves, data sheets, schedules, templates, patterns,
reports, calculations, instructions, measurements, and similar
information not in standard printed form, for general application to
several projects. Do not reproduce Contract Documents as basis of
shop drawings.
2.
Product Data: Provide standard printed information on materials,
products and systems; not specially prepared for this project, other
than the designation, if selections from among available choices
printed therein. Include manufacturer's standard printed
recommendations for application and use, compliance with
standards, applications of labels and seals, maintenance
information, and special coordination requirements for installation.
B.
3.
Samples: Provide units identical with final condition of proposed
materials or products for the work. Include "range" of samples (not
less than 3 units) where unavoidable variations must be expected,
and describe or identify variations between units of each set.
Provide full set of optional samples where Architect's selection is
required. Prepare samples to match Architects sample where so
indicated. Include information with each sample to show generic
description, source of product name and manufacturer, limitations,
and compliance with standards. Samples are submitted for review
and confirmation of color, pattern, texture, and "kind" by Architect.
Color selections will not be made by the Architect until all samples
requiring color selection have been received. Architect will not
"test" samples (except as otherwise indicated ) for compliance with
other requirements which are; therefore, the exclusive
responsibility of the Contractor. Mock-ups are a special form of
samples which are too large or otherwise inconvenient, for
handling in specified manner, for transmittal of sample submittals.
4.
Miscellaneous submittals related directly to the work (nonadministrative) include warranties, maintenance agreements,
workmanship bonds, project photographs, survey data and reports,
physical work records, quality testing and certifying reports, copies
of industry standards, record drawings, field measurement data,
operating and maintenance materials, overrun stock, and similar
information, devices and materials applicable to the work, and not
processed as shop drawings, product data, or samples.
Intent: The Contract Documents define materials, products, fabrications
and installations required; no departure from requirements of Contract
Documents is permitted. The Architect's review of certain submittals is
intended to be a preview of Contractor's proposed solution to work, which
is specified by performance, rather than prescriptive terms, for which
Contractor is allowed a choice of solutions among available options. The
Architect will review and take appropriate action on shop drawings,
product data, samples, and other submittals required by the Contract
Documents. Such review shall be only for general conformance with the
design concept and general compliance with the information given in the
Contract Documents. It shall not include review of quantities, dimensions,
weights or gauges, fabrication processes, construction methods,
coordination with the work of other trades, or construction safety
precautions, all of which are the sole responsibility of the Contractor. The
Architect's review shall be conducted with reasonable promptness,
consistent with sound professional practice. Review of a specific item
shall not indicate acceptance of an assembly of
which the item is a component. The Architect shall not be required to
review and shall not be responsible for any deviations from the Contract
Documents not clearly noted by the Contractor, nor shall the Architect be
required to review partial submissions of those for which submissions for
correlated items have not been received.

PRODUCT CONFIRMATION AND SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE
A.
General: Following Notice of Award, and prior to signing
Owner/Contractor Agreement, submit to the Architect a complete schedule
of all materials, products and fabrications required by Contract
Documents, naming the supplier, fabricator/manufacturer of each, and
where applicable, identifying the manufacturer's product name and number
for each item specified. This listing shall provide the Owner with
confirmation of which products and materials, among available options
allowed by Contract Requirements, will be utilized in the Work. For each
item on which a submittal is required, provide approximate date upon
which initial submittal will be presented to Architect for review. Utilize
and maintain this schedule to coordinate submittal requirements and
record Architect's action markings as defined herein.
B.
Form: Prepare product confirmation list and submittal schedule in same
sequence as Specification Table of Contents; cross reference each item to
corresponding Specification section. List generic work element, followed
by exact product reference intended, for incorporation into the work and
identify fabrication/manufacturer, and submittal dates in successive
column format. Provide blank columns for action markings and
resubmittal records.
C.
Product Review: For materials/products where no submittal requirements
are identified within individual technical sections of the Project Manual,
no additional submittals are required beyond confirmation listing. Comply
with detailed requirements of Contract Documents.
