4.10.1 Shop Drawings are drawings, diagrams, schedules and other data specially prepared for the Work
by the Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier or distributor to illustrate some
portion of the Work. The Contractor shall not use the Contract Drawings for submission of shop drawings. All shop

standards by which the Work will be judged.

expected to take responsive action may be so identified in the Contract Documents. Submittals that are not required
by the Contract Documents may be returned by the Construction Manager or Architect without action.

cause no delay in the Work.

represents to the College, Construction Manager, and Architect, that the Contractor has (1) reviewed and approved
them, (2) determined and verified materials, field measurements and field construction criteria related thereto, or will
do so and (3) checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the
Work and of the Contract Documents.
4.10.7 The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require
submittal and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the respective submittal
has been reviewed and approved by the Architect.
