4.2.8 Control of Submittals: The Contractor shall carefully control his . procurement operations to assure that each individual submittal is made on or before the corresponding date scheduled on his approved "SUBMITTAL REGISTER." 4.2.9 Submittal Form: The SUBMITTAL FORM attached to this Section shall be used for submitting the Category II submittals, in strict accordance with the instructions on the reverse side thereof. This form shall be reproduced by the Contractor. The instructions on the back need not be reproduced on the copies used by the Contractor in forwarding the submittals. This form shall be properly completed by filling out all the heading blank spaces and identifying each item submitted. Special care shall be exercised to insure proper listing of the specification paragraph and sheet number of the contract drawings pertinent to the data submitted for each item. A separate Submittal Form (MRO 1644) shall be attached to each copy of the data being submitted . 4.2.10 Approval Action: Submittals may be required for "Approval" or for "Information Only." Within the terms of the General Provisions Clause entitled "SHOP DRAWINGS," all required Category II submittals submitted for "Approval" are considered to be "shop drawings." All Category II submittals submitted for "Information Only" are not considered to be "shop drawings." Upon approval, the pertinent data will be identified as having received approval by being so stamped and dated. Two copies of Category II submittals will be returned to the Contractor except for samples, test cylinders and O&M manuals for which two copies of the SUBMITTAL FORM only will be returned to the Contractor. Submittals for "Information Only" will not be returned to the Contractor. No Corps of Engineers approval action will be required prior to incorporating these items into the work. These Contractor approved submittals will be used to verify that material received and used in the job is the same as that described and approved and will be used as record copies. Delegation of this approval authority to the Contractor Quality Control does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications and will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement if nonconforming material is incor- porated in the work. Nor does it relieve the Contractor from the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or check testing by the Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe. 4.2.11 Meaning of Approvals: Approval of the submittals by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representatives shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction and detailing is satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist as the Contractor shall be responsible for the dimensions and design of adequate connections, details and satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representatives, resubmittal for substitution of materials or equipment will not be given consideration unless accompanied by an acceptable explanation as to why a substitution is necessary. . . lA-6 .
