SECTION 01300 SUBMITTALS PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 RELATED DOCUMENTS A. Drawings and general provisions of Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other Division-1 Specification Sections, apply to this Section. 1.02 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.
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. B. 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. 1.03 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. 1.04 GENERAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS A. Coordination and Sequencing: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals, with performance of the Work, so that Work will not be delayed by submittals. B. Submittals: Provide submittal material of types indicated within individual technical sections of this manual. Do not allow required shop drawing copies to be used in connection with the Work without appropriate final "Action" markings by Architect.
1. Transmittal accompanying submittals shall identify the Project, Contract, subcontractor, fabricator or manufacturer, date submitted, and date of preparation. All submittals shall be numbered in consecutive sequence, and each sheet shall indicate the total number of sheets in each set. Submittal number shall consist of a specification division number, followed by sequential numeral, such as 15050.01, which indicates the first mechanical submittal. Resubmittal would be identified as 15050.01.1. 2. Submittal material shall have Contractor review stamp on each sheet of submitted material, stating they have reviewed submittal and found it to be in conformance with Contract Documents, signed and dated.
