NOTE: Review submittal description (SD) definitions in Section 01330 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and edit the following list to reflect only the submittals required for the project. Submittals should be kept to the minimum required for adequate quality control.

A “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing “G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor’s Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.

For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy, Air Force, and NASA projects.

Choose the first bracketed item for Navy, Air Force and NASA projects, or choose the second bracketed item for Army projects.

NOTE: If window cleaning anchors are required, add:

"Window cleaning anchors to be stainless-steel, conforming to ASME A39.1. Reinforce windows and frames for reception of anchors, and securely anchor window frames to wall construction for window cleaning anchors."

NOTE: Where operating hardware is located 1980 mm 6 feet 6 inches or more above floor, specify poles and pole-operated handles to operate windows.

NOTE: Show locations where storm units are to be installed. Windows for equipment rooms, laundry rooms, and similar spaces should not be provided with storm units. Storm windows are not required over double-glazed insulating type windows.

Specify window screens in medical facilities, food preparation areas, dining areas, sleeping areas, and similar locations. Locations should be shown.

NOTE: Double-hung or single-hung windows should be used for living quarters, where storm sash are to be provided or window air-conditioners used. Single-hung have less air leakage and should be considered over double-hung where feasible.
