electronic file sharing protocol using the following requirements:

Scan original drawings or convert electronic drawings, to produce a portable document format (PDF) file for each drawing. Include structure number (S -Number) and drawing number in the file name. It is required that the PDF files be created with the “end user commenting” and “digital signature” features enabled. These features allow electronic comments to be added directly to the PDF using only reader software and create a log of comments that cannot be changed once the digital signature is added. Submit PDF files to the District Executive or to an agent designated by the District Executive, for review and acceptance. Provide files on compact dis k through the PPCC or other electronic file sharing . As an alternate, files may be sent by e -mail provided attachments total to no more than 15.0 MB per e- mail message. Provide electronic transmittal forms regardless of submittal method. PDF files will be returned with corrections noted. Modify original or electronic drawings as required, scan or convert into new PDF files, and resubmit. Continue until PDF files are accepted.

After acceptance, submit final shop drawings (electronic PDF files) and, if a hard copy is requested, one set of full -size prints.

105.03CONFORMITY WITH DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS —

(a)General. Perform work within reasonably close conformity to the lines, grades, dimensions, and

indicated details, and/or as specified.

(b)Determination by the Representative.
1.Restricted Performance Specifications. The Representative will determine acceptability of material

or construction. When material or construction is not within specification limits, acceptance will be as specified within the individual specification sections, except where test result variations are so great that the material or construction is unacceptable.

2.Other Than Restricted Performance Specifications. For each individual case, the Representative

will determine the limits of reasonably close conformity; the judgment given will be final and conclusive. If it is determined that material or the finished product in which the material was used is not within reasonably close conformity, but that reasonably acceptable work has been produced, the Representative will then determine if the work will be accepted and remain in place. In this event, written documentation will be provided for acceptance by required contract modification, and/or to provide for an appropriate adjustment in the contract price for such work or material.
