1.03 REVIEW OF SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA, WORKING DRAWINGS AND

SAMPLES

D. The review of shop drawings, data, and samples will be for general conformance

with the design concept and Contract Documents. They shall not be construed:

1. as permitting any departure from the Contract requirements;

2. as relieving the Contractor of responsibility for any errors, including details,

dimensions, and materials;

3. as approving departures from details furnished by the Owner, except as

otherwise provided herein.

E. The Contractor remains responsible for details and accuracy, for coordinating the

Work with all other associated work and trades, for selecting fabrication processes,

for techniques of assembly, and for performing work in a safe manner.

F. If the shop drawings, data or samples as submitted describe variations and show a

departure from the Contract requirements which Engineer finds to be in the interest

of the Owner and to be so minor as not to involve a change in Contract Price or

time for performance, the Engineer may return the reviewed drawings without

noting an exception.

G. WMWD will reject incomplete submittals as not complying with the Contract

requirements. Contractor shall provide space for 2.5” by 3.5” review stamp for each

H. After receipt of a complete submittal and within the time limits described below,

the Engineer will transmit the submittal back to the Contractor marked with one of

the following review status:


“Reviewed, No Exceptions Taken”

“Make Corrections Noted, Do Not Resubmit”

“Revised and Resubmit”

“Rejected”

I. For items marked “Make Corrections Noted, Do Not Resubmit,” the revisions will

be marked on the submittal or will be described as comments in the response letter.

The submittal will be considered approved without formal revision. The

CONTRACTOR shall, within 7 calendar days, submit two (2) corrected record

copies of the submittal to the District Engineer for record purposes.

J. If the submittal is returned to the Contractor marked “Revised and Resubmit,” the

submittal will be transmitted to the Contractor with a statement of the deficiencies.

The Contractor shall promptly revise the submittal and resubmit eight (8) copies to

the Engineer.

K. If the submittal is returned to the Contractor marked “Rejected,” the Contractor

shall revise said submittal and shall resubmit eight (8) copies of said revised

submittal to the Engineer.

L. Revisions indicated on submittals shall be considered as changes necessary to meet

the requirements of the Contract Documents, Specifications, or Drawings.

Submittal revisions shall not be taken as the basis of claims for extra work. The

Contractor shall have no claim for damages or extension of time due to any delay

resulting from making required revisions to the submittals. The review of

submittals by WMWD shall in no way relieve the Contractor of responsibility for

errors or omissions contained therein nor will such review operate to waive or

modify any provisions or requirements contained in the Contract Documents,

Specifications, or Drawings.

M. After approval of submittals, the Contractor shall not deviate from the approved

submittal without the prior written consent from the District Engineer.

Commencement of production Work performed in advance of the receipt of

approval of submittals shall be entirely at the Contractor’s risk.

resubmittals the Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing on the letter of

transmittal and on resubmitted shop drawings by use of revision triangles or other

similar methods, to revisions other than the corrections requested by the Engineer,

on previous submissions. Any such revisions which are not clearly identified shall

be made at the risk of the Contractor. The Contractor shall make corrections to any

work done because of this type revision that is not in accordance to the Contract

Documents as may be required by the Engineer.


Partial submittals may not be reviewed. The Engineer will be the only judge as to

the completeness of a submittal. Submittals not complete will be returned

to the Contractor, and will be considered “Rejected” until resubmitted. The

Engineer may at his/her option, provide a list or mark the submittal directing

the Contractor to the areas that are incomplete.

O. Repetitive Review

1. Shop drawings and other submittals will be reviewed no more than twice at

the Engineer's expense. All subsequent reviews will be performed at times

convenient to the Engineer and at the Contractor's expense, based on the

Engineer's then prevailing rates. The Contractor shall reimburse the Owner

for all such fees invoiced to the Owner. Submittals are required until

approved.

2. Any need for more than one resubmission, or any other delay in obtaining

Engineer's review of submittals, will not entitle Contractor to extension of

the time for completion.

P. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated on the shop drawings to

constitute a change to the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall give written

notice thereof to the Owner and Engineer at least seven work days prior to release

for manufacture.

Q. When the shop drawings have been completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer,

the Contractor shall carry out the construction in accordance therewith and shall

make no further changes therein except upon written instructions from the Owner

or Engineer.
