DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The design, engineering, and construction of the formwork shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor. The formwork shall be designed for
anticipated live and dead loads and shall comply with the tolerances
specified in Section [03301A CAST-IN-PLACE STRUCTURAL CONCRETE][03700 MASS
CONCRETE][03307 CONCRETE FOR MINOR STRUCTURES], paragraph CONSTRUCTION
TOLERANCES. However, for surfaces with an ACI Class A surface designation,
the allowable deflection for facing material between studs, for studs
between walers and walers between bracing shall be limited to 0.0025 times
the span. The formwork shall be designed as a complete system with
consideration given to the effects of cementitious materials and mixture
additives such as fly ash, cement type, plasticizers, accelerators,
retarders, air entrainment, and others. The adequacy of formwork design
and construction shall be monitored prior to and during concrete placement
as part of the Contractor's approved Quality Control Plan.

SUBMITTALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary
for adequate quality control. The importance of an
item in the project should be one of the primary
factors in determining if a submittal for the item
should be required.
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.
