At each Architect-Owner Contractor meeting, the contractor will provide hardcopies of the official Request for Information Log.  The log should include the RFI number, subject, date submitted to the Design Team and date RFI was closed.

Shop Drawing/Submittal Log

At each Architect-Owner Contractor meeting, the contractor will provide hardcopies of the official Shop Drawing/Submittal Log. The log should include the submittal number, product, date submitted to the Design Team and date the submittal was approved.  Provide all submittals to the Design Team for approval no later than the halfway point of construction.  Any submittal requesting a variance from the specification or any value engineering (VE) proposal must be first reviewed and approved by the Designer and then approved by the Owner before the work proceed. Final acceptance will depend on that compliance.
