Submittal documents shall be clearly edited to indicate only those items, models, or series of equipment, which are being submitted for review. All extraneous materials shall be crossed out or otherwise obliterated.
B. COORDINATION
Coordinate submittals with the work so that work will not be delayed. Coordinate and schedule different categories of submittals, so that one will not be delayed for lack of coordination with another. No extension of time will be allowed because of failure to properly schedule submittals.
C. CONFORMANCE WITH SPECIFIED REQUIREMENTS
Submittals are specified for those features and characteristics of materials, equipment, and methods of operation that can be selected based on the Contractor's judgment of their conformance to the specified requirements. Other features and characteristics are specified in a manner that enables the Contractor to determine acceptable options without submittals. The review procedure is based on the Contractor's guarantee that all features and characteristics not requiring submittals conform as specified. Review shall not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or to verifying quantities, dimensions, weights or gages, or fabrication processes (except where specifically indicated or required by the Contract Documents) or to safety
01300 - 1 May 2011 Rock Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility Aeration Basin and Aerobic Digester Diffuser Replacement precautions or programs incident thereto. Review of a separate item, as such, will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions.
D. SUBSTITUTION REQUEST
Whenever an item of material or equipment is specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a propriety item or the name of a particular Supplier, the specification or description is intended to establish the type, function, appearance, and quality required. Unless the specification or description contains or is followed by the words reading that no like, equivalent, or “or equal”, no substitution or “or equal” is permitted.
It is the Engineer’s sole discretion that a substitution or an “or equal” material or equipment is functionally similar, comparable quality, and equal performance to that specified. Contractor is responsible for any additional costs related to “or equal” items such as, but not limited to, construction methods, engineering design changes, electrical service changes, or equipment pad sizing.
