PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

A.

B.

Work Included:

1. Submit to the Engineer, Shop Drawings, Operation and Maintenance Manuals,
Manufacturers' Certificates, Project Data, and Samples required by the
Specification Sections.

Related Work Specified Elsewhere:

1. Construction Schedules: Section 01310

2. Project Record Documents: Section 01720

3. General Conditions: Section C.

1.2 SHOP DRAWINGS

A.

Shop Drawings are required for each and every element of the work. Each shop
drawing shall be assigned a number consisting of the Specification Section number
followed by a dash and then a sequential number beginning with 01 (e.g., 16000-
01) for purposes of easy identification. Resubmittals shall include an alphabetic
suffix after the corresponding sequential number (e.g., 16000-01A).

Shop Drawings are generally defined as all fabrication and erection drawings,
diagrams, brochures, schedules, bills of material, manufacturers data, spare parts
lists, and other data prepared by the Contractor, his subcontractors, suppliers, or
manufacturers which illustrate the manufacturer, fabrication, construction, and
installation of the work, or a portion thereof.

The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer one electronic Portable Document
Format (PDF) of Shop Drawings and approved data transmitted using e-mail, File
Transfer Protocol (FTP), or approved submittal sharing software. The electronic
copy of each shop drawing shall contain an electronic table of contents that is
bookmarked for each section of the submittal. The Engineer shall return an
electronic PDF of the shop drawing comments to the Contractor for duplication and
distribution to subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers. All shop drawing
comments will be summarized on the Submittal Review Form and must be retained
with each submittal electronic PDF. Mandatory hardcopy submissions for specific
submittals, format, and transmission method will be finalized at the Pre-
Construction Meeting.

The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer six record hardcopies of each final
approved Shop Drawing and approved data (for Owner’s, Engineer’s and Field
Representative’s files).

The Contractor shall provide a completed Submittal Certification Form (copy
provided for Contractor's use at the end of this Specification Section) which shall be
attached to every hardcopy and electronic PDF of each shop drawing. Shop
Drawings shall show the principal dimensions, weight, structural and operating
features, space required, clearances, type and/or brand of finish or shop coat, grease
fittings, etc., depending on the subject of the drawing. When it is customary to do

13089K

01340-2
SUBMITTALS

so, when the dimensions are of particular importance, or when so specified, the
drawings shall be certified by the manufacturer or fabricator as correct for the work.
Shop Drawings shall be submitted as a complete package by specification section,
unless otherwise reviewed and approved by the Engineer. It is the intent that all
information, materials and samples associated with each specification section be
included as a single submittal for the Engineer's review. Any deviation from this
requirement, such as submitting miscellaneous metals grouped by structure, shall be
requested in writing with an anticipated shop drawing breakdown/schedule prior to
any associated submittal.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the prompt and timely submittal of all shop
and working drawings so that there shall be no delay to the work due to the absence
of such drawings.

No material or equipment shall be purchased or fabricated especially for the
Contract until the required shop and working drawings have been submitted as
hereinabove provided and reviewed for conformance to the Contract
requirements. All such materials and equipment and the work involved in their
installation or incorporation into the Work shall then be as shown in and
represented by said drawings.

Until the necessary review has been made, the Contractor shall not proceed with
any portion of the work (such as the construction of foundations), the design or
details of which are dependent upon the design or details of work, materials,
equipment or other features for which review is required.

All shop and working drawings shall be submitted to the Engineer by and/or
through the Contractor, who shall be responsible for obtaining shop and working
drawings from his subcontractors and returning reviewed drawings to them. Hard
copies of shop drawings shall be of standardized sizes to enable the Owner to
maintain a permanent record of the submissions. Approved standard sizes shall be:
(a) 24 inches by 36 inches; (b) 11 inches by 17 inches, and (c) 11 inches by 8-1/2
inches. Provision shall be made in preparing the shop drawings to provide a
binding margin on the left hand side of the sheet. Shop drawings submitted other
than as specified herein may be returned for resubmittal without being reviewed.
Only drawings which have been checked and corrected by the fabricator should be
submitted to the Contractor by his subcontractors and vendors. Prior to submitting
drawings to the Engineer, the Contractor shall check thoroughly all such drawings
to satisfy himself that the subject matter thereof conforms to the Drawings and
Specifications in all respects. All drawings which are correct shall be marked with
the date, checker's name, and indication of the Contractor's approval, and then shall
be submitted to the Engineer.

If a shop drawing shows any deviation from the Contract requirements, the
Contractor shall make specific mention of the deviations in his letter of transmittal.
Shop Drawings that contain significant deviations that are not brought to the
attention of the Engineer may be subject to rejection.

Should the Contractor submit equipment that requires modifications to the
structures, piping, electrical conduit, wires and appurtenances, layout, etc., detailed
on the Drawings, he shall also submit details of the proposed modifications. If such
equipment and modifications are accepted, the Contractor, at no additional cost to

13089K

01340-3
SUBMITTALS

the Owner, shall do all work necessary to make such modifications.

N. A maximum of two submissions of each Shop Drawing will be reviewed, checked,
and commented upon without charge to the Contractor. Any additional submissions
which are ordered by the Engineer to fulfill the stipulations of the Drawings and
Specifications, and which are required by virtue of the Contractor's neglect or
failure to comply with the requirements of the Drawings and Specifications, or to
make those modifications and/or corrections ordered by the Engineer in the review
of the first two submissions of each Shop Drawing, will be reviewed and checked
as deemed necessary by the Engineer, and the cost of such review and checking, as
determined by the Owner, and based upon Engineer's documentation of time and
rates established for additional services in the Owner-Engineer Agreement for this
Project, may be deducted from the Contractor to make all modifications and/or
corrections as may be required by the Engineer in an accurate, complete, and timely
fashion. Resubmittals for the sole purpose of providing written responses to review
comments will not be considered a resubmittal counting towards the two
submission limit.

conformance with the specifications, and as necessary to define color selections
available.

completion date, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer all manuals in

B. Each manual shall be provided in a stand-alone binder or shall be suitable for
insertion into a 3-ring binder. Include the General Contractor's and Manufacturer's

standard O&M manual is included in the submittal, all non-applicable content must
be removed or crossed out.

C. Manuals shall include operating and maintenance information on all systems and
pieces of equipment. The manual shall contain sufficient data to install, operate,
