Common use of Approved Submittals Clause in Contracts

Approved Submittals. The Contracting Officer's approval of submittals is not to be construed as a complete check, and indicates only that the general method of construction, materials, detailing and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for errors which may exist, as the Contractor is responsible for dimensions, the design of adequate connections and details, and the satisfactory construction of the work. After submittals have been approved by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary.
