Bureau of Land Management 014000 - 1 Quality Gila Box Bonita Creek Road GLHN #20049.01 Assurance

SECTION 014000 – QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 DEFINITIONS

A. Quality Control - planned and specific actions or operations necessary to produce a product that complies with the contract documents. Quality control consists of actions, inspections, sampling and testing necessary to ensure the work is in compliance with the contract documents and to control production and construction processes. Quality control is key to the construction sequence to quickly determine when the work is out of compliance with the contract documents and to respond to correct the situation and bring the work into compliance. Quality control is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR.

B. Quality Assurance – planned and systematic observations, testing and actions to verify the work complies with the contract documents. Quality assurance includes oversight of the CONTRACTOR’s quality control, verifying the results of the CONTRACTOR’s testing and additional assurance sampling and testing. The Government will provide quality assurance at a level determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

C. Verification/Compliance Testing – sampling and testing which is carried out independent of the CONTRACTOR’s quality control testing to confirm/verify the work complies with the contract documents. The frequency of verification/compliance testing will be determined by the Contracting Officer. Verification/compliance testing will not be used to determine construction procedures or operations (i.e. rolling patterns, lift thickness, etc.). Verification/compliance testing, if required, will be provided by the Contracting Officer.

1.2 SUBMITTALS

A. Contractor shall conduct testing and prepare submittals according to the SUBMITTALS SCHEDULE.

B. All sampling and testing shall be performed by the Contractor or by a qualified third-party testing agency as defined in the contract documents, at CONTRACTOR expense.

C. Submit records of all CONTRACTOR tests to the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of the testing.

The Quality Control laboratory is to notify the CONTRACTOR and Contracting Officer promptly of irregularities or deficiencies observed in the Work during performance of the Quality Control Testing.
