providing the work started is in compliance with the notation/corrections of the Contract
Documents, and also provided that the required corrections/modifications of the "Re-Submit"
drawings have been resubmitted and have received a "No Exceptions Taken" or "Note Comments"
status before the work is completed.
"Rejected" shall mean that No fabrication, manufacture and/or construction may proceed and that
the Contractor shall make a new submittal. Items marked "Rejected" shall not be used for any
purpose at the construction site.
Note: Except as to matters of finish, color and other aesthetic matters to be specified or approved
by the Engineer according to the Contract Documents, submittals returned to the contractor with
an "No Exceptions Taken" or "Note Comments" designation do not relieve the contractor from full
compliance with the terms and provisions of the Contract.
The Contractor's submittal and the Engineer's acceptance of Shop Drawings, Product Data, or
Samples for construction activities not complying with the Contract Documents do not constitute
an acceptable or valid request for substitution, nor do they constitute approval.
Space for the Engineer's stamp - Sufficient space should be provided on each drawing submitted
for review to accommodate the stamp(s) of the Engineer. An area 3 inches wide and 4 inches long
is generally sufficient for this purpose.
Certification - The contractor's certification as described herein shall be clearly legible on the sepia
as well as on all prints or copies submitted by the Contractor.

the manner in which the equipment fit into the available space and how they relate to each
other and to building elements. Drawings shall be of appropriate scale to satisfy the
previously stated purposes. Drawings may be composite (with distinctive colors for the
various trades) or may be separate but fully coordinated drawings (such as sepias or
photographic paper reproducible) of the same scale. Separate drawings shall depict identical
building areas or sections and shall be capable of being overlaid in any combination.
The submitted drawings for a given area of the project shall show the work of all trades
which will be involved in that particular area. Six complete composite drawings or six
complete sets of separate reproducible drawings shall be received by the Engineer not less
than 20 days prior to the scheduled start of the work in the area illustrated by the drawings,
for the purpose of showing the contractor's planned method of installation. The objectives
of such drawings are to promote carefully planned work sequence and proper trade
coordination, in order to assure the expeditious solutions of problems and the installation of
lines and equipment as contemplated by the contract documents.
In the event the contractor, in coordinating the various installations and in planning the
method of installation, finds a conflict in location or elevation of any of the systems with
themselves, with structural items or with other construction items, the contractor shall
bring this conflict to the attention of the Engineer immediately. In doing so, the contractor

shall explain the proposed method of solving the problem or shall request instructions as to
how to proceed if adjustments beyond those of usual trades coordination are necessary.
Systems installation work will not proceed in any area prior to the submission and
completion of the Engineer's review of the coordinated drawings for that area, nor in any
area in which conflicts are disclosed by the coordination drawings until the conflicts have
been corrected to the satisfaction of the Engineer. It is the responsibility of the contractor to
submit the required drawings in a timely manner consistent with the requirements to
