CONTRACTOR'S COST PROPOSALS
The A/E shall review all Government initiated and/or the Construction
Contractor's cost proposals for construction modifications when requested by the
Resident Engineer. The A/E's reply regarding his review of cost proposals and
his recommendations shall include an independent breakdown of costs in detail
with quantities and unit prices and shall cover both additions and deductions of

SPC 4
SHOP DRAWINGS AND SUBMITTALS
The A/E shall check Government furnished and/or the Construction Contractor's
shop drawings, detail drawings, schedules, descriptive literature and samples,
testing laboratory reports, field test data and review the color, texture and
suitability of materials for conformity with the design concept and construction
documents. The A/E shall recommend approval, disapproval, or other suitable
disposition. He shall evaluate the submittals with reference to any companion
submittals that constitute a system. When necessary, the A/E will, through the
Resident Engineer, request the Contractor to submit related components of a
system before acting on a single component. Should this procedure be
inappropriate, the A/E shall review all prior submittals for related components of
the system before acting on a single component. The A/E may be required to
hold joint reviews with the VA technical staff on complicated system submittals.
The A/E shall notify the Resident Engineer in writing of any and all deviations
from the requirements of the construction documents that he has found in the
Construction Contractor's submittals. Such responsibility shall be carried out
with reasonable promptness as to cause no delay.
