Coordination of Submittal Times Prepare and transmit each submittal to the Engineer sufficiently in advance of performing related work or other applicable activities, so the installation will not be delayed or improperly sequenced by processing times, including non-approval and resubmittal (if required). Coordinate with other submittals, testing, purchasing, delivery and similar sequenced activities. No extension of time will be authorized because of Contractors failure to transmit submittals to the Engineer sufficiently in advance of the work. C. Sequencing Requirements As applicable in each instance, do not proceed with a unit of work until submittal procedures have been sequenced with related units of work, in a manner which will ensure that the action will not need to be later modified or rescinded by reason of a subsequent submittal which should have been processed earlier or concurrently for coordination. D. Preparation of Submittals Provide permanent marking on each submittal to identify project, date, Contractor, subcontractor, submittal name and similar information to distinguish it from other submittals. Show Contractor's executed review and approval marking and provide space for the Engineer's "Action" marking. Package each submittal appropriately for transmittal and handling. Submittals which are received from sources other than through the Contractor's office will be returned "without action." E. Transmittal Identification 1. Number transmittals in sequence for each Division of the Specifications. The number after the dash indicates the Section of the Specifications, and the number before the dash is the sequence number of the transmittal (1-1 5140 would be the first transmittal applicable to Section 15140 of the Specifications, 2-15140 would be the second transmittal for Section 15140, etc.) 2. Identify resubmittals with a letter of the alphabet following the original number, using A for the first resubmittal, B for the second resubmittal, etc. A resubmittal affecting transmittal 1-1 5140 would than be numbered 1A-15140. The number 1-1 5140 would then be entered in the space 'Previous Transmittal Number," which is left blank except on resubmittals. 04/09/07 G003-1 03\XBO 1340 I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I 01340 - 5 Shop Drawings, Product Data, And Samples m.
