The following contract clauses pertinent to this section are hereby incorporated by reference (by Citation Number, Title, and Date) in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.252-2 CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE in Section I of this contract. See FAR 52.252-2 for an internet address (if specified) for electronic access to the full text of a clause.

NUMBER TITLE DATE

52.246-12 INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION AUG 1996

E.2 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Final inspection and acceptance shall be by the Contracting Officer or his/her duly authorized representative at:

Inspection and Acceptance: Federal Emergency Management Agency Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center (MWEOC) 19844 Blue Ridge Mountain Road Mount Weather, VA 20135-2006

For the purpose of this clause, the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) is the representative of the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to unilaterally designate other Government agents as authorized representatives. Should such occur, the Contractor will be notified by a written notice.

E.3 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL

a. General: The Contractor shall provide and maintain an effective quality control program. The burden of proof of contract compliance is placed on the Contractor and not assumed by the Government. The Contractor's quality control will not be accepted without question and the right to inspect or verify at any time is reserved by the Government.

b. Pre-construction Conference: After the contract is awarded and before construction operations are started, the Contractor shall meet with the COR, or their representatives, and discuss quality control requirements. The contractor shall furnish the COR within 20 days after receipt of notice to proceed, the following information:

(I) The name and qualifications of the individual performing inspections, giving education, licenses, present job position and previous work experience.

The meeting shall develop mutual understanding relative to details of the system, including the forms to be used for recording the quality control operations, inspections, administration of the quality control system, and the interrelationship of Contractor and Government inspection.

c. Quality Control System:

(I) The Contractor shall establish a quality control system to perform sufficient inspection and tests of all items of work, including that of subcontractors, to insure conformance to applicable specifications and drawings with respect to

E-2 the materials, workmanship, construction, finish, functional performance, and identification, with emphasis on the surveillance, tests and submittals required in the Technical Provisions of the contract specifications, including applicable in-plant inspection. This control will be established for all construction except where the Technical Provisions of the contract provide for specific Government control by inspections, tests or other means. The Contractor shall notify the COR or his authorized representative in writing of any proposed change to the Contractor's quality control system; no such change shall be implemented prior to acceptance in writing by the COR or his authorized representative.

(2) Review Submittals: The Contractor's control system will specifically provide for surveillance, coordination, and review of shop drawings, materials and equipment data submittals. Such surveillance, coordination and review of the aforementioned data shall be made to assure that the submission is complete and in compliance with applicable contract provisions. The Contractor's control system will be keyed to the proposed construction sequence in a manner to prevent construction deficiencies and/or delays caused by submittals lacking content and text required by the contract Technical Provisions. The Contractor will designate, by name, the quality control representative responsible for review, certification and submittal of shop drawings if different than the individual appointed as required in paragraph b (1) above.

(3) Quality Control Procedures: The Contractor's quality control system at the job site shall follow a 3-step procedure consisting of (a) a Preparatory Inspection; (b) an Initial Inspection; and (c) Follow-up Inspections. The Contractor's quality control representative will advise the COR at least 24 hours prior to all preparatory and initial inspections. The preparatory and initial inspections will be attended by the applicable quality control representative and the Contractor's individual responsible for implementation of that portion of work at the site. Government personnel may participate in the preparatory, initial inspection and follow-up inspection.

a) Preparatory Inspection: A preparatory inspection will be required to ensure that the plant, materials and equipment meet the submittals and contract requirements. The Contractor will perform preparatory inspections as soon as possible after delivery of plant, equipment and material to the site and, in any event, prior to incorporation of material and equipment in the work.

b) Initial Inspection: An initial inspection will be required at the start of each new phase of construction to establish that methods, techniques and standards of workmanship are in strict compliance with the contract requirements.

c) Follow-up Inspections: Follow-up inspections will be performed on a daily or recurring basis as necessary to ensure that construction is proceeding in accordance with contract requirements.

d. Quality Control Reports:

(I) The Contractor shall furnish a daily construction quality control report. The report shall be in accordance with the attached sample or such other form as may be proposed by the Contractor and approved by the COR. Additional check lists and forms for specific operations may be required to supplement the daily inspection form. The report shall include all inspections and tests made. It shall provide factual evidence that the required inspection or tests have been performed, including type and number of inspections or tests, the results, the nature of defects, cause of rejection and the corrective action taken. The daily report shall cover both conforming and defective items. It shall include a statement that all materials and equipment incorporated in the work are in full compliance with the terms of the contract except as noted. The report will cover all items and specifically include the items listed in the quality control paragraphs of the Technical Provisions. The report will be verified and signed by the prime Contractor's designated quality control representative. The daily reports will be furnished in two copies (original and one (1) duplicate) to the COR. The report will be legibly handwritten in ink or typewritten. Reports shall be submitted not later than the close of business on the first working day following the date of the report. Reports shall have all supporting documents

E-3

(such as concrete placement checklist) referenced therein. Incomplete reports will not be accepted. Negative reports are required for days during which there is no activity on the project site and will include a brief statement as to why there was no activity during a normal workday or schedule.

e. Government Inspection:

The Government reserves the right to inspect at the source, supplies or services not manufactured or performed within the Contractor's facility. Government inspection shall not constitute acceptance; nor shall it in any way replace Contractor inspection or otherwise relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to furnish an acceptable end item. When inspection at subcontractors' or suppliers' plant is performed by the Government, such inspection shall not be used by Contractors as evidence of effective inspection by such subcontractors or suppliers.
