Exemp. Perf. Design Credits Submitted During Construction Review

Has anyone successfully submitted already reviewed (and anticipated) Design Credits that achieved exemplary performance status during the Construction Review for an innovation point? In our case we did not mark that we were going for the innovation point during design review, and would like to do so now. We are currently in Preliminary Clarification Phase, so we could either mark the innovation point option now, or wait until Construction Review. If we mark the innovation credit now, we will not have an additional opportunity to elaborate if there are further questions. However, again since these credits have already been reviewed and approved, one would imagine that submitting the innovation point during Construction Review would be a safe move, assuming this strategy is allowed. Thank you in advance for your help.

Ralph, You can always submit an ID credit for review regardless of which phase it's in. With ID credits, you have four chances (in split submissions) to submit an ID credit. So in your case, you didn't submit the ID credit for review in the Design Preliminary Review - you can submit it in the Design Final Review and respond to clarifications in the Construction Preliminary Review. However, if it is still denied, you cannot get a third review for that same strategy in the Construction Final Review (each strategy only gets two reviews before you would have to appeal). BUT you can submit for a completely different strategy (exemplary performance or an innovative strategy) in the Construction Final Review - granted, you wouldn't get a second review since it's the last review phase, so you'd have to appeal if you want to respond to clarifications. Just make sure you haven't already earned three ID credits for exemplary performance (that's the max for NCv2009). Hope this answers your question!
