1.9. Quality Control and Quality Assurance

1.9.1. The Contractor is responsible for quality control and shall utilize its own internal quality control processes in the performance of this contract. The Contractor shall develop and maintain a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure all services are performed in accordance with the Government’s performance standards outlined in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) section of this

PWS.

1.9.2. Performance Standards. See Exhibit 1. The PRS is a listing of significant performance objectives with associated performance standards that will be monitored and inspected by Government personnel. Each performance objective represents a critical function as identified by the Government at the time of contract award. The performance standard represents the minimum acceptable level of Contractor performance. The performance objectives and standards represent only the critical components of this Contract, and do not excuse the Contractor from performance of other responsibilities identified in the PWS. All services described in this PWS are subject to inspection/surveillance by the Government.

1.9.3. Government Surveillance of Contractor Performance. In order to supplement the Contractor’s QCP, WAPA personnel will verify Contractor compliance with essential performance requirements. The Government may use various methods to perform surveillance of Contractor performance, including customer input, random sampling, periodic inspection, Contractor reporting, etc. The standard is that the areas treated for Bare Ground control under the contract remain weed free for one (1) growing season following application. Any defect (weed re-growth) brought to the Contractor’s attention by the Government must be corrected by re-performance 14 calendar days after notification by the Government. The COR may approve additional time to correct the defect as the COR deems appropriate. If recurring defects occur in a growing season, or the Contractor fails to correct a defect in the required time, the recurring defects or failure to perform in a timely manner will be reported to the Contracting Officer for appropriate action.

1.9.4. Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR). A CDR (PWS Exhibit 2) will be initiated by the CO or COR if, at any time during the performance, the results of WAPA’s surveillance show the number of observations of unacceptable performance during the period exceeds the threshold specified in the PRS, and the CO/COR determines that the unacceptable performance was not caused by the Government. Instructions for completing the CDR are as follows:

1.9.4.1. The COR completes Blocks 1 through 6 and sends the form to the CO. Block 6 must include the PRS number corresponding to the discrepancy, the threshold of that PRS item,the number of discrepancies documented, and the PWS paragraph reference describing the Government’s expectations for that PRS item.

1.9.4.2. The CO evaluates the CDR, and if appropriate, signs it and sends it to the Contractor with a cover letter requesting a response within a specified number of days.

1.9.4.3. The Contractor must complete Blocks 7 through 10 and return the CDR to the COwithin the specified time period on the cover letter.

1.9.4.4. Upon receipt of the Contractor’s response, the CO, in consultation with the COR, will evaluate the Contractor’s response and take appropriate action. The CO will document the evaluation in Block 11 and action taken in Block 12.

1.9.4.5. In most cases, the preferred action is re-performance by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. If deduction from payment is the appropriate action, the COR and CO will calculate the payment deduction based on the performance period in which the discrepancy occurred. The deduction is taken from the Contractor’s payment as close as possible to the month in which the discrepancy occurred, but not necessarily the same month. The Government should not withhold payment of an invoice while calculating the deduction.

1.9.4.6. The COR will complete Blocks 13a and 13b. The CO signs the CDR in Block 13c. These signatures indicate concurrence with the actions taken.

1.9.4.7. In the event the CO determines that issuance of a CDR is not appropriate; the COshall document the contract file indicating why such action is not appropriate.
