Submittal Items.
2-2.9.1 Submittal Item Descriptions. Section 01330 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES
contains general requirements for each submittal description number, e.g. SD-01, SD-
02. UFGS authors shall compare the requirements of each submittal item in a technical
section to the descriptions provided in Section 01330 and only specify the submittal
requirements that are in addition to those specified in Section 01330.
2-2.9.2 Submittal Items Tagged in the Specification Text. Each submittal item
listed in the "SUBMITTALS" paragraph of the UFGS shall also appear in one principal
subpart of the specification other than the "SUBMITTALS" paragraph exactly as listed in
the "SUBMITTALS" paragraph, and shall be appropriately tagged using the SpecsIntact
software. Care should be taken to assure the submittal item tagged in the text reflects
the requirements to be verified by that submittal item.
2-2.9.3 Government Approvals of Submittals. When a "G" follows a submittal
item, it indicates Government approval is required for that item. Use a "G" in submittal
tags for items deemed sufficiently critical, complex, or aesthetically significant to merit
approval by the Government. Submittal items not designated with a "G" will be for
information only or approved by the Contractor QC organization, depending on
terminology used by the agency. The following examples show the two acceptable
formats for submittals items in the UFGS, one with a G and one without.
<SUB>Fire Hydrants</SUB>; <SUB>G [, _ ]</SUB> or
<SUB>Fire Hydrants</SUB>
2-2.9.4 SD-10, Operation and Maintenance Manuals. Section 01781 OPERATION
AND MANTENANCE DATA contains specific requirements for O&M manuals of varying
complexity and identifies them by "data package". For each SD-10 submittal item in the
technical sections, UFGS authors shall refer to section 01781 and specify that item with
the appropriate data package number. Authors shall only specify requirements in
technical sections that are in addition to those specified for that data package in Section
01781.

WRITING STYLE. Write in a direct, active voice with simple, concise
sentences as much as possible. Avoid ambiguous, indefinite terms such as "too short"
or "relatively simple." UFGS should supplement the dimensions, sizes, and
relationships shown on the drawings with requirements for materials, installation, and
other non-graphic requirements. Define what applies in lieu of using "applicable" or
other indefinite wording. Do not use "and/or"; do not use the virgule (/) to substitute for
"and" or "or." Do not use "etc."; use "e.g.," "for instance," or "such as." Do not use "as
shown on the drawings" as this phrase is frequently overlooked by the project spec
writer or editor; if used in the text and the item is not shown on the drawings, then the
item is not specified.
