ASPI requires that within seven (7) days of being awarded the contract, the Contractor is to submit the entire roofing system submittals. C. General Procedures: Coordinate submittal preparation with performance of construction activities, and with purchasing or fabrication, delivery, other submittals and related activities. Transmit in advance of performance of related activities to avoid delay. 1. Coordinate transmittal of different submittals for related elements so processing will not be delayed by the need to review concurrently for coordination. The Architect reserves the right to withhold action on a submittal requiring coordination until related submittals are received. 2. Processing: Allow two (2) weeks for initial review. Allow more time if processing must be delayed for coordination with other submittals. The Architect will advise the Contractor when a submittal must be delayed for coordination. Allow two weeks for reprocessing each submittal. a. No extension of time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals sufficiently in advance of the Work to permit processing. 1.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS A. Submittal Preparation: Place a label or title block on each submittal for identification. Provide a 4" x 5" space on the label or beside the title block on Shop Drawings to record Contractor's review and approval markings and action taken.

Name and address of subcontractor. 6. Name and address of supplier. 7. Name of manufacturer. B. Submittal Transmittal: Package submittals appropriately for transmittal and handling. Transmit with a transmittal form. Submittals received from other than the Contractor will be returned without action. 1. Transmittal Form: Use AIA Document G 810.

Coordinate the Construction Schedule with the Schedule of Values, list of subcontracts, Submittal Schedule, progress reports, payment requests and other schedules. 5. Indicate completion in advance of the date established for Substantial Completion. Indicate Substantial Completion on the Schedule to allow time for the Architect's procedures necessary for certification of Substantial Completion. 6. Area Separations: Provide a separate time bar to identify each construction area for each major part of the Work. Indicate where each element must be sequenced with other activities. D.
