Construction Redlines Process - Distribution
1. THE CONSTRUCTION REDLINES PROCESS
1.1. Purpose
The Construction Redlines (also known as As-builts) process consists of submitting and approving multiple documents after the completion of the construction work. It involves the Construction Contractor as a submitter and CVM team as reviewers/approvers of the Construction Redlines (documents). This guide will outline the Procore tools and workflows involved throughout the process.
1.2. Tools
Forms Tool:
There are three Form templates that are used for completing the Construction Redlines Review process (CVM - Construction Redline Coversheet, CVM - Joint Utility Form, CVM - Yard Asset Release).
Submittal Tool:
There are three Submittal types that are used as a part of the Construction Redlines review process depending on the type of work performed.
Overhead (OH): This type of work may be a two steps due to the inclusion of the QAQC Process.
(Global) – QAQC Construction Redlines Review: Submittal used to engage the QAQC team for a formal SDGE review and Punchlist Generation.
(Global) - OH Final Construction Redlines: Submittal to deliver the Final deliverables listed in the Construction Redline Coversheet.
Underground (UG): This type of work will have one submittal for final delivery, as there is no SDG&E QAQC review.
(Global) - UG Final Construction Redlines: Submittal to deliver the Final deliverables listed in the Construction Redline Coversheet.

Step 2: The FCA reviews the Construction Redlines for completeness/accuracy and provides final sign-off.

Responding to the Submittal as an approver will move the workflow towards completion. There must be one Submittal for each Job Level and each work type. The packages will not be combined. Each submittal will arrive via email notification with a link to the project and the submittal.

A Submittal revision will then be created by the CMS, and you will then resubmit the Construction Redlines in the revised Submittal indicated by Revision Number 1 (if it is the first revision). Open the Submittal that was not approved, click the Ellipsis menu (three dots icon on the right corner of the page) next to Edit and select Create Revision from the dropdown.

Note: For OH work the QAQC team should review and submit the PCI report in 30-45 days. They should issue the PCI report in the same Submittal. First, they should upload the PCI report in Punch List subfolder under Stage 5 – Construction folder in the Documents tool and then respond to the Submittal by attaching the report to their response. After the response you should then close the Preliminary Submittal: (Global) – QAQC Construction Redlines Review and create and issue the Final Submittal: (Global) - OH Final Construction Redlines.
