We would like to wait until the Prelim Construction Submittal to submit our Innovation credits for review. In our preliminary design submittal, we did not mark the Innovation credit as “ready to review” but the reviewer did provide feedback in this section regarding an exemplary performance credit. I’m worried that if we submit the final design review without checking the “ready to review” mark (on purpose, to delay review of IN credits), but also pursue exemplary performance on two of our credits, the reviewer will again leave comments in this section. Could this potentially count as two reviews, and leave us unable to submit our actual innovation credit documentation in the construction phase?
Thanks for any advice!

If you are going to use Exemplary Performance on an a design credit for an IN point, you should do so when you submit the credit itself. Is there some reason that would be a problem? Otherwise the reviewer would have to reopen the base credit again and they won't like that.

For Tracy's original question, you can just provide a response that you did not intend for the item to be reviewed as part of the design submission, hence the reason the credit wasn't marked "Ready for Review." They should not count it against you, and you should still have both rounds of regular review available in the construction submission. It's happened on mine, too, even when I clearly labeled each strategy in all CAPS as DESIGN or CONSTRUCTION submissions.
For Susan's question, yes, I agree it's a little weird to separate the original Design credit from its own EP point, but maybe there was a project-specific logical reason...beats me.
