Common use of SHOP DRAWING Clause in Contracts

SHOP DRAWING. (a) The Contractor shall prepare, thoroughly check, and approve all shop drawings, including those prepared by subcontractors or any other persons. The Contractor shall indicate its approval by stamping and signing each drawing. Any shop drawing submitted without being reviewed, stamped and signed will be considered as not having been submitted, and any delay caused thereby shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. (b) Shop drawings shall indicate in detail all parts of an item of work, including erection and setting instructions and engagements with work of other trades or other separate contractors. Shop drawings for structural steel, millwork and pre-cast concrete shall consist of calculations, fabrication details, erection drawings and other working drawings to show the details, dimensions, sizes of members, anchor bolt plans, insert locations and other information for the complete fabrication and erection of the structure to be constructed. (c) The Contractor shall be responsible for the design of all structural curtain walls, all connections and fasteners for structural steel and architectural and structural precast concrete. Curtain walls, connections and fasteners shall be designed by a licensed professional engineer to carry the indicated or necessary loads. The precast concrete pieces shall be designed to withstand erection, transportation and final loading stresses. All calculations shall be performed by a licensed professional engineer and submitted to the Project Manager for review. (d) The cost of shop drawings or any other submittal shall not be a separate or individual pay item. All costs of furnishing shop drawings required by the contract shall be included in the price agreed to be paid for the various contract items of work, and no additional allowances will be made therefor. (e) All shop drawings as required by the contract, or as determined by the Project Manager to be necessary to illustrate details of the work shall be submitted to the Project Manager with such promptness as to cause no delay in the work or in that of any other Contractor. Delay caused by the failure of the Contractor to submit shop drawings on a timely basis to allow for review, possible resubmittal and acceptance will not be considered as a justifiable reason for a contract time extension. Contractor, at its own risk, may proceed with the work affected by the shop drawings before receiving acceptance; however the Department shall not be liable for any costs or time required for the correction of work done without the benefit of accepted shop drawings. (f) It is the Contractor’s obligation and responsibility to check all of its and its subcontractor’s shop drawings and be fully responsible for them and for coordination with connecting and other related work. The Contractor shall prepare, and submit to the Project Manager coordination drawings showing the installation locations of all plumbing, piping, duct and electrical work including equipment throughout the project. By approving and submitting shop drawings, the Contractor thereby represents that it has determined and verified all field measurements and field construction criteria, or will do so, and that it has checked and coordinated each shop drawing with the requirements of the work and the contract documents. When shop drawings are prepared and processed before field measurements and field construction criteria can be or have been determined or verified, the Contractor shall make all necessary adjustments in the work or resubmit further shop drawings, all at no change in contract price or time.
