1.6 SUBMITTALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Review submittal description (SD) definitions
in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and edit
the following list to reflect only the submittals
required for the project.
The Guide Specification technical editors have

designated those items that require Government
approval, due to their complexity or criticality,
with a "G." Generally, other submittal items can be
reviewed by the Contractor's Quality Control
System. Only add a “G” to an item, if the submittal
is sufficiently important or complex in context of
the project.
When a "D" follows a submittal item, it indicates

Designer of Record Approval (DA) is required for
that item. When a "C" follows a submittal item, it
indicates Government Conformance Review of Design
SECTION 01 33 16.00 10 Page 12

(CR) is required for that item. When an "R" follows
a submittal item, it indicates both a Designer of
Record Approval and Government Conformance Review
(DA/CR) is required for that item. When an "A"
follows a submittal item, it indicates both a
Designer of Record Approval and Government Approval
(DA/GA) is required for that item.
For submittals requiring Government approval on Army

projects, a code of up to three characters within
the submittal tags may be used following the "G"
designation to indicate the approving authority.
Codes for Army projects using the Resident
Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for
Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office
(Engineering Division or other organization in the
District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for
Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes
following the "G" typically are not used for Navy,
Air Force, and NASA projects.
The "S" following a submittal item indicates that

the submittal is required for the Sustainability
eNotebook to fulfill federally mandated sustainable
requirements in accordance with Section 01 33 29
SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING. Locate the "S" submittal
under the SD number that best describes the
submittal item.
Choose the first bracketed item for Navy, Air Force

and NASA projects, or choose the second bracketed
item for Army projects.
**************************************************************************
Each submittal includes an associated approval level designation as

defined in the following table:
Approval Level Definition

]3.5 DESIGN CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT (DCM)
3.5.1 Procedures
Develop and maintain effective, DCM procedures to control and track all
revisions to the design documents subsequent to the Interim Design
Submission and continuing through submission of the As-Built documents.
After the final design is accepted, this process provides control of and
documents revisions to the accepted design (See Special Contract
Requirement: Deviating From the Accepted Design). Submit the DCM
procedures within the Design Quality Control Plan.
a. Include authorities and concurrences in the DCM system to authorize

revisions, including documentation as to why the revision is required.
b. An internal system may be used with interactive Government

concurrences or the Government's "Dr Checks Design Review and Checking
System" may be used.
c. Make the DCM data available to the Government reviewers at all times.
3.5.2 Tracking Design Review Comments
Although an internal system for overall design configuration management is

allowed, use the DrChecks Design Review and Checking System to initiate,
respond to, resolve and track Government design review comments.
The Government will set up the project in DrChecks. Throughout the design
process parties enter, track, and back-check comments using the DrChecks
system. Designers of Record annotate comments timely and specifically to
indicate exactly the action to be taken or why the action is not
required. After the design review conference and prior to the next design
submittal for the package, the DORs annotate those comments that require
SECTION 01 33 16.00 10 Page 31

DOR action or design revision to show how and where it has been addressed
in the design documents. These procedures are part of the required design
configuration management plan. Flag comments considered critical by the
conference participants.
3.5.2.1 DrChecks Initial Account Set-Up
Identify a contact person within the office to act as the administrator

for all Contractor personnel, including subcontractors, that will be
accessing the PROJNET Dr Checks system. Through the Contracting Officer,
coordinate with the Project Manager and the District PROJNET administrator
for system access, system instruction and comment process instructions.
PROJNET contains an introductory file and other tutorial material that can
be accessed once user accounts have been established. Upon log in, select
Portals/User Documentation.
3.5.2.2 DrChecks Review Comments
Annotate and resolve all comments prior to the next submittal. Include
the DrChecks comments and responses in the design analysis for record in
the next design submittal for the package.
a. Upon review of comments prior to the design review conference, the

DOR(s) evaluate the comments. Include exactly what action will be
taken or why action is not required.
b. After the review conference, the DOR(s) formally respond to each

applicable comment in DrChecks a second time, prior to the next
submittal, clearly indicating what action was taken and what
drawing/spec/analysis changed. Designers of Record are encouraged to
directly contact reviewers to discuss and agree to the formal comment
responses rather than relying only on DrChecks and review meetings to
discuss comments. With the next design submittal, reviewers will
back-check answers to the comments against the new submittal, in
addition to reviewing additional design work.
c. Clearly annotate in DrChecks those comments that require effort

outside the requirements of the contract. Do not proceed with work
outside the contract until a modification to the contract is properly
executed.

furniture. This furniture includes but is not limited to:
SECTION 01 33 16.00 10 Page 39

Freestanding seating, tables, file cabinets, desks and
workstations, wood casegoods, storage cabinets,
bookcases
Furniture Systems
Non-Mission Unique residential refrigerators, industrial shelving,

Equipment workbenches
Accessories lamps, artificial plants, trash receptacles, re-cycle
containers, artwork
3.6.5.2.1.1 Project Requirements
Interview appropriate Government personnel to discuss and coordinate

furniture and equipment requirements prior to development of the FF&E.
This information includes the number of personnel to occupy the building,
job functions and related furniture/office equipment to support the job
function, room functions, rank and grade, and any applicable Army facility
standards.
3.6.5.2.1.2 Design Direction
Design the FF&E package concurrently with the facility design. Limit the
use of manufacturer representatives or dealers to providing specification
and cost information only. Coordinate the FF&E package with the following:
a. Interior finish selections and generic furniture footprint plans

developed as part of the Structural Interior Design (SID).
b. Building electrical outlets, switches, J-boxes, communication outlets

and connections, and lighting as appropriate.
c. Other building features such as architectural elements, thermostats,

location of TV's, and mission unique equipment (MUE)
d. Locate furniture in front of windows only if the top of the item falls
below the window and unless otherwise noted, do not attach furniture
including furniture systems to the building.
e. If a project has SIPRNET and/or NIPRNET, coordinate furniture layout

with SIPRNET and NIPRNET separation requirements. Take special note
of any Network Enterprise Center (NEC) requirements regarding the
location of secure (SIPRNET) surface mounted conduit or raceways with
associated clearances, wall drops, and wall lock boxes in order to
coordinate with the location of desks and workstations that are to
have SIPRNET accessibility. Verify that access required by NEC for
SIPRNET box and conduit is provided. Coordinate with the User if
there are any other types of secure cabling (classified networks)
requirements for the project such as J-WIC's, and coordinate furniture
and building location, separation and accessibility requirements with
NEC.
f. Base executive wood casegoods on the facility type and rank of end
user. Typically this is limited to command suites or to those areas
SECTION 01 33 16.00 10 Page 40

specified by the Installation POC and, when applicable, Installation
Design Guide for FF&E's.
3.6.5.2.2 Acquisition and Procurement
[3.6.5.2.2.1 Quality Standards
**************************************************************************
NOTE: This paragraph requires attaching a document
to this section. Delete the paragraph if the
requirement does not apply to the project.
**************************************************************************
Huntsville Center (HNC) has developed the minimum acceptable quality

standards with regard to construction materials, fabrication methods, and
ergonomic features and ranges, for many of the typical FF&E items
specified for an administrative facility or area within a building. These
standards are listed as part of the HNC Request for Quote (RFQ) scope of
work. The document is titled: Furniture Item Description (FID), Section
2.0 Product Descriptions and Quality Requirements. A copy of this
document will be provided to the DOR as part of this Scope of Work as an
attachment to this section. Utilize the FID in developing the FF&E design
package. It is the DOR's responsibility to insure that all items
submitted in the FF&E design package meet any and all requirements listed
in the Section 2.0 of the FID document for the type of item being
specified to include all ANSI/BIFMA testing.
]3.6.5.2.2.2 Mission Unique Equipment
Identify locations on the FF&E drawings of known MUE items for space
planning purposes. Clearly identify any FF&E items required by the User
that cannot be procured by HNC and are; therefore MUE, on FF&E drawings as
Not in Contract (NIC), unless otherwise directed. MUE includes, but is
not limited to, items such as:
Most commercial appliances
Fitness equipment
IT equipment (photocopiers, printers, etc.)
AV equipment (projectors, smart boards, flat screen display monitors, AV

racks, AV carts)
Floor safes
Shredders
Clocks
3.6.5.2.2.3 Sources
a. Utilize GSA Schedule manufacturers and products in selection of FF&E

for this project. Open market sources can be specified when an item
is not available on GSA Schedule, minimize use ($3,000 per line
item/$25,000 per contract) and do not specify without written
justification. Make a concerted effort to exclude items with
SECTION 01 33 16.00 10 Page 41

proprietary features which would prevent competition.
b. Specify furnishings from within a manufacturer's family wherever

possible while ensuring aesthetic, quality and functionality are not
compromised. For example: Steelcase, Turnstone, Brayton
International, Metro, and Vecta are all Steelcase companies. Each
alternate should also be specified from a manufacturer's family of
furniture, example: first set of alternates would be specified from
Knoll's family of furniture and the second from Herman Miller family
of furniture. Select office furniture, including case goods, tables,
storage, and seating, that is compatible in style, finish and color.
c. It is acceptable to make selections from other than a manufacturer's

family of furniture where costs are not reasonable for particular
items, some items are not available or appropriate for the facility,
or the items are not on GSA Schedule. If this occurs, specify product
from an open line that is accessible by numerous dealerships.
d. See paragraph SUBMITTAL COMPONENTS for Product Data Sheet alternate

manufacturer requirements.
