<br />If a contradiction occurs follow Division 01.
<br />B. Submit shop drawings and product data grouped to include complete submittals of related systems, products, and accessories in a
<br />single submittal.
<br />C. Contractor shall, within 21 calendar days after issuance of work order, submit to Owner and Engineer, PDF brochures of equipment
<br />and materials to be furnished. Non-fabricated items such as wire, insulation, etc., will be listed with manufacturer and type, correlating
<br />information submitted to particular items designated on drawings or in specifications. Each set of submittal shall be initialed by
<br />contractor to indicate his knowledge of contents and as certification that he has checked it in detail for compliance with contract
<br />documents.
<br />D. Brochures shall be specific and complete in detail with dimensional drawings on items of equipment as listed in each section of
<br />specifications. Specific items that are being submitted on shall be clearly defined with pertinent data underlined in ink or highlighted on
<br />all copies. Information shall be initialed by contractor to indicate his knowledge of contents and as certification that he has checked it in
<br />detail for compliance with correct documents. Information shall be presented so a line-by-line comparison may be made with drawings
<br />and specifications. Deviations from drawings and specifications shall be enumerated. Data of a general nature will not be acceptable.
<br />E. Submittals shall be compiled from official manufacturer's brochures with all information necessary to prove equipment submitted is
<br />equal to or greater than that specified. Typed form letter altering equipment published values will not be accepted unless accompanied
<br />with test results from an independent lab.
<br />F. Shop drawings shall be submitted whenever materials and equipment proposed varies in physical size and arrangement from that
<br />shown on the drawings, thus causing rearrangement of equipment space; where tight spaces require extreme coordination between
<br />ductwork, piping, and other equipment, and where specifically requested by Architect, shop drawings shall be made at no additional
<br />charge to Owner. Required shop drawings, except as hereinafter specified, shall be prepared by contractor at a scale no smaller than
<br />1/4 inch = 1 foot. Submit one each blueline print and reproducible sepia of each shop drawing for approval.

<br />necessary information and/or drawings. The Architect and Engineer reserve the right to go directly to manufacturer to secure details
<br />deemed necessary, charging the contractor for costs incurred.
<br />H. Approval rendered on shop drawings or submittals is not a guarantee of measurements or building conditions. When approved, said
<br />approval does not mean drawings have been checked in detail and does not relieve contractor from his responsibility or necessity of
<br />furnishing material or performing work as required by Contract drawings and specifications.
<br />I. Replace items which are rejected for failure to comply with specifications and drawings with an acceptable item. If no satisfactory
<br />item is submitted, Architect and Engineer reserve the right to notify contractor as to type and make of materials to be provided.
<br />J. Contractors shall submit all necessary manufacturer's shop drawings and wiring diagrams for any equipment which is to be
<br />purchased or fabricated as required, specified or indicated on the electrical drawings. The contractor shall submit all necessary drawings
<br />before purchasing any equipment and before any fabrication is to be undertaken. Each contractor shall first submit eight (8) copies of all
<br />drawings to the Owner and Engineer for approval. When drawings are reviewed, the Engineer will mark his comments and/or approval
<br />on eight (8) copies, retaining one for his files and returning the balance to the contractors. Only after receipt of approved drawings, shall
<br />the contractor proceed with the purchasing of equipment and fabrication.
<br />K. The approval of shop drawings by the Engineer shall not release the contractor from the intent of the plans and specifications.
<br />L. The Contractor shall furnish complete submittals for each of the following listed items of electrical equipment in accordance with
<br />Division 1. For convenience, the Contractor may submit shop drawings in groups. The groups are listed below:

<br />clearances required for finished partitions, pilasters, walls, columns, ceilings and ceiling beams, work of the other trades, both at the site
<br />and from the architectural and structural drawings including details. Any work installed by the contractor, which later develops into any
<br />difficulties so that the architectural design cannot be followed, shall be removed and replaced by the contractor at his own expense. He
<br />shall make such changes in his work as directed by the Architect so that the architectural work can be installed as shown on plans and
<br />details.
<br />3.02 COORDINATION OF PIPING, CONDUIT AND DUCTWORK
<br />A. Piping, conduit and ductwork interference’s shall be handled by giving precedence to pipe lines, which require a stated grade for
