ESTIMATED WORKLOAD DATA

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN FOR ELEVATOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

INTRODUCTION

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to evaluate contractor actions while implementing this Performance-based Work Statement (PWS). It is designed to provide an effective surveillance method of monitoring contractor performance for each listed objective on the Service Delivery Summary (SDS) in the maintenance contract.

The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the services the contractor is required to furnish.

This QASP is based on the premise the government desires to maintain a quality standard in operating, maintaining, and repairing facilities and that a service contract to provide the service is the best means of achieving that objective.

The contractor, and not the government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The role of the government is quality assurance to ensure contract standards are achieved.

In this contract the quality control program is the driver for product quality. The contractor is required to develop a comprehensive program of inspections and monitoring actions. The first major step to ensuring a “self-correcting” contract is to ensure that the quality control program approved at the beginning of the contract provides the measures needed to lead the contractor to success.

Once the quality control program is approved, careful application of the process and standards presented in the remainder of this document will ensure a robust quality assurance program.

Elevator S1

Less than 10 hours of consecutive downtime/month

Elevator S2

Less than 24 hours of consecutive downtime/month

Elevator S3

Less than 24 hours of consecutive downtime/month

Elevator S4, S14 and S18

Less than 10 hours of consecutive downtime/month

Elevator S5

Less than 24 hours of consecutive downtime/month

Elevator S6

Less than 24 hours of consecutive down/month

Customers are informed of expected repair time. Response and repair is made within the specified time.

Customers are informed 95% of time the expected time of repair

SURVEILLANCE: The government QA will evaluate the performance objectives through periodic inspections during each service month.

STANDARD: The contractor shall perform all work required in a satisfactory manner in accordance with the appropriate PWS paragraph. The QA shall not consider the services complete until all deficiencies have been corrected.

MONEY SUBTRACT FROM CONTRACTOR: When Performance Objective Number 2, as described in the table above, is not met, the CO may hire another qualified company to repair the elevator and reduce the amount of payment to the Contractor. The amount reduced will be equal to the amount needed to repair the elevator.

PROCEDURES: The government QA will inspect all performance objectives at least monthly to ensure contractor compliance with the appropriate paragraphs of the Performance-based Work Statement (PWS). Record results of inspection, noting the date and time of inspection. If inspection indicates unacceptable performance, notify the contract manager or the contractor's Quality Control Inspector (QCI) of the deficiencies for correction. The Contractor shall be given two hours after notification to correct the unacceptable performance or the QA may approve additional time if the QA considers additional time appropriate. If deficiencies are not corrected within the required time frame the QA should notify the Contracting Officer for action.

Conformance Standards:

Contract service shall ensure that the equipment functions in conformance with the latest published edition of the applicable standards, such as: NFPA-99, UL, OSHA, VA, CDRH, etc. and the “Manufacturer's Performance standards/ specifications” as used when the equipment was originally procured and that any upgrades/updates will meet the stated standards/specifications.

Period of Performance:

The period of performance shall be for one base year PLUS up to four (4) potential option years. The Government may extend the term of the awarded base/option year by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days of annual expiration date, provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract expires. The preliminary (>60 day) notice does not commit the Government to an extension
