determined and verified all field measurements, quantities,
dimensions, specified performance and design criteria,
installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers, and
similar information with respect thereto;

determined and verified the suitability of all materials
offered with respect to the indicated application, fabrication,
shipping, handling, storage, assembly, and installation
pertaining to the performance of the Work; and

determined and verified all information relative to
Contractor’s responsibilities for means, methods,
techniques, sequences, and procedures of construction, and
safety precautions and programs incident thereto.

Each submittal shall bear a stamp or specific written certification
that Contractor has satisfied Contractor’s obligations under the
Contract Documents with respect to Contractor’s review and
approval of that submittal.

Engineer’s Review

1)

2)

3)

Engineer will provide timely review of Shop Drawings and
Samples in accordance with the Schedule of Submittals
acceptable to Engineer. Engineer’s review and approval will
be only to determine if the items covered by the submittals
will, after installation or incorporation in the Work, conform
to the information given in the Contract Documents and be
compatible with the design concept of the completed Project
as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract
Documents.

Engineer’s review and approval will not extend to means,
methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of
construction (except where a particular means, method,
technique, sequence, or procedure of construction is
specifically and expressly called for by the Contract
Documents) or to safety precautions or programs incident
thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such
will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item
functions.

Engineer’s review and approval shall not relieve Contractor
from responsibility for any variation from the requirements
of the Contract Documents unless Contractor has complied
with the requirements of subparagraph C.6. below.
Engineer’s review and approval shall not relieve Contractor
from errors or omissions in a Shop Drawing or Sample.

g. Resubmittal Procedures

1) Contractor shall make corrections required by Engineer and
shall return the required number of corrected copies of Shop
Drawings and submit, as required, new Samples for review
and approval. Contractor shall direct specific attention in
writing to revisions other than the corrections called for by
Engineer on previous submittals.

2) Contractor shall furnish required submittals with sufficient
information and accuracy in order to obtain required
approval of an item with no more than 3 submittals. Engineer
will record Engineer’s time for reviewing subsequent
submittals of Shop Drawings, samples, or other items
requiring approval and Contractor shall reimburse Owner for
Engineer’s charges for such time.

3) In the event that Contractor requests a change of a previously
approved item, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for
Engineer’s charges for its review time unless the need for
such change is beyond the control of Contractor.

Variations: Clearly identify requests for “Or-Equal” and substitute items
and submit per subparagraph 1.02.C.1.b above. Substitute items will not be
considered when indicated or implied on Shop Drawing or material and
equipment data submittals without separate written request, or when
acceptance will require revision to the Contract Documents. Identify
variations from Contract Documents and material and equipment or system
limitations which may be detrimental to successful performance of the
completed Work and identify reasons therefor at no additional cost to
Owner.. Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time within which to
evaluate each proposal or submittal made and may require Contractor to
furnish additional data about the proposed substitute item. Engineer will be
the sole judge of acceptability. No “or equal” or substitute will be ordered,
installed or utilized until Engineer’s review is complete, which will be
evidenced by a Change Order in the case of a substitute and an approved
Shop Drawing for an “or equal.”

a. “Or Equal” Items: If in Engineer’s sole discretion an item of material
or equipment proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that
named and sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work
will be required, it may be considered by Engineer as an “or equal”
item, in which case review and approval of the proposed item may,
in Engineer’s sole discretion, be accomplished without compliance
with some or all of the requirements for approval of proposed
substitute items. A proposed item of material or equipment will be
considered functionally equal to an item so named:

if in the exercise of reasonable judgment Engineer
determines that it is at least equal in materials of
construction, quality, durability, appearance, strength, and
design characteristics; it will reliably perform at least equally
well the function and achieve the results imposed by the
design concept of the completed Project as a functioning
whole; and it has a proven record of performance and
availability of responsive service; and

Contractor certifies that, if approved and incorporated into
the Work there will be no increase in cost to the Owner or
increase in Contract Times and it will conform substantially
to the detailed requirements of the item named in the
Contract Documents.

Substitute Items: If in Engineer’s sole discretion an item of material
or equipment proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an “or-
equal” item subparagraph 6.a above, it will be considered a proposed
substitute item. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as
provided below to allow Engineer to determine if the item of
material or equipment proposed is essentially equivalent to that
named and an acceptable substitute therefor. Requests for review of
proposed substitute items of material or equipment will not be
accepted by Engineer from anyone other than Contractor.

3)

Contractor shall certify that the proposed substitute item will
perform adequately the functions and achieve the results
called for by the general design, be similar in substance to
that specified, and be suited to the same use as that specified.

Contractor shall state the extent, if any, to which the use of
the proposed substitute item will prejudice Contractor’s
achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether use
of the proposed substitute item in the Work will require a
change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the
provisions of any other direct contract with Owner for other
work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed
substitute item, and whether incorporation or use of the
proposed substitute item in connection with the Work is
subject to payment of any license fee or royalty.

Contractor shall identify all variations of the proposed
substitute item from that specified, available Engineering,
sales, maintenance, repair, and replacement services; and
shall contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that
will result directly or indirectly from use of such substitute
item, including costs of redesign and claims of other
contractors affected by any resulting change.
