<br />§3.12.1 Shop Drawings are drawings, diagrams, schedules, and other data specially prepared for the Work by the Contractor
<br />or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier, or distributor to illustrate some portion of the Work.

<br />information furnished by the Contractor to illustrate materials or equipment for some portion of the Work.
<br />§3.12.3 Samples are physical examples that illustrate materials, equipment, or workmanship, and establish standards by which
<br />the Work will be judged.
<br />§3.12.4 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals are not Contract Documents. Their purpose is to
<br />demonstrate how the Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and the design concept expressed in the
<br />Contract Documents for those portions of the Work for which the Contract Documents require submittals. Review by the
<br />Architect is subject to the limitations of Section4.2.7. Informational submittals upon which the Architect is not expected to
<br />take responsive action may be so identified in the Contract Documents. Submittals that are not required by the Contract
<br />Documents may be returned by the Architect without action.
<br />§3.12.5 The Contractor shall review for compliance with the Contract Documents, approve, and submit to the Architect, Shop
<br />Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents, in accordance with the
<br />submittal schedule approved by the Architect or, in the absence of an approved submittal schedule, with reasonable
<br />promptness and in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner or of Separate Contractors.
<br />The Contractor must provide the Owner and the Architect with copies of all submittals made to regulatory agencies.
<br />§3.12.6 By submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals, the Contractor represents to the Owner
<br />and Architect that the Contractor has (1) reviewed and approved them, (2) determined and verified materials, field
<br />measurements and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and (3) checked and coordinated the information
<br />contained within such submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents.
<br />§3.12.7 The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require submittal and review
<br />of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, or similar submittals, until the respective submittal has been approved by the
<br />Architect.The Contractormust correct at its cost, and without any adjustment in Contract Time, any Work the correction of
<br />which is required due to the Contractor’s failure to obtain approval of a submittal required to have been obtained prior to
<br />proceeding with the Work, including, but not limited to, correction of any conflicts in the Work resulting from such failure.
<br />§3.12.8 The Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals except that the Contractor shall not be relieved of
<br />responsibility for deviations from the requirements of the Contract Documents by the Architect’s approval of Shop Drawings,
<br />Product Data, Samples,or similar submittals, unless the Contractor has specifically notified the Architect of such deviation at
<br />the time of submittal and (1) the Architect has given written approval to the specific deviation as a minor change in the Work,
<br />or (2) a Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been issued authorizing the deviation. The Contractor shall not
<br />be relieved of responsibility for errors or omissions in Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, or similar submittals, by the
<br />Architect’s approval thereof.
<br />§3.12.9 The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, or
<br />similar submittals, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect on previous submittals. In the absence of such
<br />notice, the Architect’s approval of a resubmission shall not apply to such revisions.
<br />§3.12.10 The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services that constitute the practice of architecture or
<br />engineering unless such services are specifically required by the Contract Documents for a portion of the Work or unless the
<br />Contractor needs to provide such services in order to carry out the Contractor’s responsibilities for construction means,
<br />methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures. The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services in
<br />violation of applicable law.
<br />§3.12.10.1 If professional design services or certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials, or equipment
<br />are specifically required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner and the Architect will specify all
<br />performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy and
<br />accuracy of the performance and design criteria provided in the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall not be
