3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Establish and maintain an effective quality contro l (QC) system that complies with the FAR Clause 52.246.12 titled “Insp ection of

Construction”. QC consists of plans, procedures, an d organization necessary to produce an end product which complies with the Contract requirements. The QC system covers all design and c onstruction operations, both onsite and offsite, and be keyed t o the proposed design and construction sequence. The project super intendent will be held responsible for the quality of work and is sub ject to removal by the Contracting Office or Authorized designee for n on-compliance with the quality requirements specified in the Contract. In this context the highest level manager responsible for the overall c onstruction activities at the site, including quality and produ ction is the project superintendent. The project superintendent maintain s a physical presence at the site at all times and is responsibl e for all construction and related activities at the site, ex cept as otherwise acceptable to the Contracting Officer.

3.2 CQC PLAN:

A. Submit no later than 30 days after receipt of Notic e to Proceed (NTP) the CQC Plan proposed to implement the requirements of the FAR Clause

52.246.12 titled “Inspection of Construction”. The Government will consider an Interim CQC Plan for the first 30 days of operation, which must be accepted within 10 business days of NTP. De sign and/or construction will be permitted to begin only after acceptance of the CQC

Plan or acceptance of an Interim plan applicable to the particular feature of work to be started. Work outside of the accepted Interim CQC

Plan will not be permitted to begin until acceptanc e of a CQC Plan or another Interim CQC Plan containing the additional work scope is accepted.

B. Content of the CQC Plan: Include, as a minimum, the following to cover all design and construction operations, both onsite and offsite, including work by subcontractors, designers of reco rd consultants, architects/engineers (A/E), fabricators, suppliers, and purchasing agents:

01 45 00 - 13

3.8 COMPLETION INSPECTION

A. Punch-Out Inspection: Conduct an inspection of the work by the CQC system Manager near the end of the work, or any inc rement of the work established by a time stated FAR 52.211-10 – Commen cement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work, or by the specifications. P repare and include in the CQC documentation a punch list of items whic h do not conform to the approved drawings and specifications. Include w ithin the list of deficiencies the estimated date by which the defici encies will be corrected. Make a second inspection the CQC System Manager or staff to ascertain that all deficiencies have been corrected . Once this is accomplished, notify the Government that the facili ty is ready for the

Government Pre-Final Inspection.

52.211-10 -- Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work.

As prescribed in 11.404(b), insert the following clause in solicitations and contracts when a fixed-price construction contract is contemplated. The clause may be changed to accommodate the issuance of orders under indefinite-delivery contracts for construction.

Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work (Apr 1984)

The Contractor shall be required to:

(a) commence work under this contract within _________ // Contracting Officer insert number// calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed,

(b) prosecute the work diligently, and

(c) complete the entire work ready for use not later than ______________.* The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.

(End of Clause)

* The Contracting Officer shall specify either a number of days after the date the contractor receives the notice to proceed, or a calendar date.

Alternate I (Apr 1984). If the completion date is expressed as a specific calendar date, computed on the basis of the contractor receiving the notice to proceed by a certain day, add the following paragraph to the basic clause:

The completion date is based on the assumption that the successful offeror will receive the notice to proceed by_______________ // Contracting Officer insert date //. The completion date will be extended by the number of calendar days after the above date that the

Contractor receives the notice to proceed, except to the extent that the delay in issuance of

01 45 00 - 14 the notice to proceed results from the failure of the Contractor to execute the contract and give the required performance and payment bonds within the time specified in the offer.

B. Pre-Final Inspection: The Government will perform t he Pre-Final

Inspection to verify that the facility is complete and ready to be occupied. A Government Pre-Final Punch List may be developed as a result of this inspection. Ensure that all items on this list have been corrected before notifying the Government, so that a Final Acceptance

Inspection with the customer can be scheduled. Corr ect any items noted on the Pre-Final Inspection in a timely manner. The se inspections and any deficiency corrections required by this paragra ph need to be accomplished within the time slated for completion of the entire work or any particular increment of the work if the proj ect is divided into increments by separate construction completion date s.

C. Final Acceptance Inspection: The Contractor’s QC In spection personnel, plus the superintendent or other primary management person, and the

Contracting Officer’s Authorized designee is requir ed to be in attendance at the Final Acceptance Inspection. Add itional Government personnel can also be in attendance. The Final Acce ptance Inspection will be formally scheduled by the Contracting Offic er’s or Authorized designee based upon results of the Pre-Final Inspec tion. Notify the

Contracting Officer through the Resident Engineer o ffice at least 14 days prior to the Final Acceptance Inspection and i nclude the

Contractor’s assurance that all specific items prev iously identified to the Contractor as being unacceptable, along with al l remaining work performed under the contract, will be complete and acceptable by the date schedule for the Final Acceptance Inspection. Failure of the

Contractor to have all contract work acceptably com plete for this inspection will be cause for the Contracting Office r to bill the

Contractor for the Government’s additional inspecti on cost in accordance with FAR Clause 52.246-12 titled “Inspec tion of

Construction”.
