A. Procedure: Immediately on discovery of the need for information or interpretation of the Contract Documents, prepare and submit a Request for Information (RFI) in the form specified, with a necessary question regarding ambiguities or conflicts in the documents or field conditions, concealed conditions at the site, clarification of a contract requirement, dimensions, or other information for which clarification is required.

1. RFI's shall originate with Contractor, Architect, or Construction Manager. RFIs submitted by entities other than Contractor, Construction Manager, Architect, or Owner will be returned with no response.

2. Coordinate and submit RFIs in a prompt manner so as to avoid delays in Contractor's work or work of subcontractors.

3. The Construction Manager is required to review all RFI's submitted by Contractor, subcontractors and suppliers for completeness, accuracy, validity, and justification prior to submission to the Architect. The Contractor can commonly answer subcontractor /supplier RFI's without delegation to the Architect.

4. Promptly submit any RFI's that could result in a delay of the activities on the critical path if the resolution is not obtained promptly. Provide a date on each RFI that the response is required by, in order to not have an impact on the critical path of construction activities.

5. In the case of a condition that requires a change in the work to resolve a conflict or other condition, the Contractor shall include a recommendation for resolution of the condition and submit a separate Change Order Request (COR).

6. The Architect's response to an RFI is not an authorization to proceed with work involving additional cost, time or both. If the response involves additional work the Contractor shall provide the Architect with a complete description of work added and work deleted by the response within seven (7) days of the issued date of the RFI response. If the response involves additional work for which the Contractor will seek an adjustment to the contract sum, time or both, the Contractor shall submit a cost proposal in the form of a Change Order Request (COR) to the Architect through the Construction Manager. The Contractor shall not proceed with incorporating the response into the work until a Change Order or, Construction Change Directive has been fully executed.

7. Unless notified otherwise by the Contractor, the Architect's RFI response shall have the same effect as the Architect's order for minor changes in the Work. The Contractor will proceed with the Work, and the response will be incorporated into the contract that same as the Architect's written order for minor changes in the Work. Notify the Architect in writing if noted modifications cannot be made due to conflicting circumstances in the field, in other contract documents, or for other reasons.

8. The Contractor shall not incorporate any language into RFI’s or Change Proposals that imply future additional costs or delays beyond those fully explained within the document. The Contractor may stipulate conditions or constraints under which the pricing or time may change; however, such conditions or constraints shall not infringe on the Architect’s or Owner’s right to adequate time for review of the issue.

9. The Contractor shall not submit Confirming RFI's, i.e., RFI's requesting confirmation of information already in the contract documents or previously provided, or requesting confirmation to questions previously answered or clarification previously given. Similarly the Contractor shall not submit Repetitive RFI's, i.e., RFI's, wherein the same information is requested more than once, even if phrased in another format or asked in a different manner. Confirming & Repetitive RFI's are considered frivolous and may constitute a claim from the Owner Representatives (Construction Manager and Architect/Engineer) against the Contractor.

10. The Contractor shall not retain or suppress RFI's for group submissions. Each individual RFI is to be submitted expeditiously upon occurrence. Numerous RFI's submitted in a short time period will not be considered reasonable, and will result in review times being extended accordingly.

11. The Contractor shall not install any components in locations other than as indicated on the contract documents unless 1) all other affected work has been reviewed and coordinated with the relocation; and 2) the relocation is the resolution for an RFI, including a statement by the Contractor that the relocation has been coordinated with other affected work.

12. The Contractor shall not use an RFI as a means of proposing a deviation, an alternative product, arrangement, or installation for the Contractor's convenience; these proposals shall be submitted as Substitution Requests, and the RFI voided. A contractor-proposed alternative arrangement or installation submitted as an RFI will not become the subsequent basis for a claim by the contractor.

D. Coordination: Coordinate preparation and processing of submittals with performance of construction activities. Transmit each submittal sufficiently in advance of performance of related construction activities to avoid delay.

1. Coordinate transmittal of different types of submittals for related parts of the Work so processing will not be delayed because of need to review submittals concurrently for coordination. Architect reserves the right to withhold action on a submittal requiring coordination with other submittals until related submittals are received. This includes the right to withhold action on a submittal requiring color selection until all related color samples or submittals are received.

2. The Contractor is responsible for assuring that each submittal is in full compliance with the submittal requirements prior to forwarding to the Architect for review. Submittals which are incomplete will be considered as not submitted until all submittal requirements are fulfilled. The architect has sole discretion to return incomplete submittals without review, to hold submittals until all requirements are fulfilled, to review partial submittals, or to waive partial requirements. In exercising this discretion, the Architect will incur no obligation to apply the same action to any other submittal.

3. The Contractor is responsible for timely submission of submittals to allow for review and any subsequent corrections necessary prior to undertaking any work covered by the submittal.

E. Processing Time: Allow enough time for submittal review, including time for re-submittals, as follows. Time for review shall commence on Architect's receipt of submittal. No extension of the Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals enough in advance of the Work to permit processing, including re-submittals.

1. Initial Review: With the exception of Detention and Security Electronics submittals, allow 10 working days for initial review of each submittal. Allow 20 working days for initial review after the receipt of coordinated detention and Security Electronics submittals. Allow additional time if coordination with subsequent submittals or consultants is required. Architect will advise Contractor when a submittal being processed requires extended review time for coordination.

2. Intermediate Review: If intermediate submittal is necessary, process it in same manner as initial submittal.

3. Resubmittal Review: Allow 10 working days for review of each resubmittal.

4. Sequential Review: Where the Contract Documents indicate that submittals shall be reviewed sequentially by Architect's consultants, Owner, or other parties, allow 21 days for initial review of each submittal.

5. Concurrent Consultant Review: Where the Contract Documents indicate that submittals may be transmitted simultaneously to Architect and to Architect's consultants, allow 10 working days for review of each submittal. Submittal will be returned to Architect before being returned to Contractor.

6. Except for required concurrent reviews, the Contractor shall not retain or suppress submittals for group submissions. Each individual submittal is to be transmitted expeditiously upon preparation. Numerous submittals transmitted in a short time period will not be considered reasonable, and will result in review times being extended accordingly. In such cases, the Contractor may request priority consideration of certain submittals.





01 3000-18 12-20-2016

7. Should the Contractor request an expedited review in order to maintain schedule, the requests will be approved at the sole discretion of Architect.
