CP 7
PROCEDURE FOR PROCESSING SHOP DRAWINGS AND MANUFACTURER'S
LITERATURE
(a) Shop drawings and manufacturers' literature shall be processed as follows:
(1) The Architect-Engineer receives one direct photographic paper reproducible
copy of each drawing and four sets of manufacturers' literature from the
Contractor. The A/E shall check the Contractor's shop drawings and
manufacturers' literature, stamp them, fill in the required items in the upper portion
of the Review Action Stamp, indicate recommended action by use of
memorandums
and forward to the Resident Engineer within 15 days. When
sufficient space is not
available on Shop Drawings or Manufacturers' literature to accommodate all comments,
they shall be stated in a memorandum which shall be stapled to Shop Drawings or
Manufacturers' literature.
(2) Concurrent VA Central Office reviews are required for certain materials,
equipment and systems. The requirements for these concurrent reviews are listed
in the contract specifications. The additional submittal material received by the
A/E shall be forwarded to the Project Director for Central Office review. The
Resident Engineer will not return the submission to the Contractor until he has
received the A/E and Central Office recommendations. Conflicting
recommendations will be referred to the Project Director for resolution.
(3) Shop drawings, submissions and manufacturers' literature shall be identified
with numbers relating them to specific sections of the contract specifications, plus
suffix numbers indicating the sequence of the approval or disapproval of each
item, e.g., 17-1 for first item evaluated, 17-2 for second item evaluated, etc.
Shop drawings and manufacturers' literature resubmitted shall be identified by
adding to the original number the letter R and numerals 2, 3, 4, etc., for example
17-1, 17-1R, 17-1R2, 17-1R3, etc. If additional identification is required, such
as a further breakdown of paragraphs, the paragraph number may be added in
parenthesis to the basic reference, e.g., 17-1R3 (Par. 14a). Submissions, after
having been evaluated, shall be filed under the appropriate specification section
number. Where the same items have been specified under two or more sections
of the specifications, the shop drawings and manufacturers' literature shall be
filed under one appropriate section and cross-referenced.
