Perform the following QC work and provide the indicated documentation (as appropriate) to verify and assure good QC practices:

The Superintendent may serve also as the Quality Control Manager on this project.

Inspect the condition, verify the dimension, and document the condition of all existing hardware that will be handled. Immediately report deficiencies to COR via Daily Logs.

Layout all components and ensure proper fit of assemblies prior to shipping to site.

Provide verification that all procured hardware meets the material, manufacturing, and corrosion-protection specifications, as advertised by the hardware distributor.

Inspect, test or otherwise verify that all critical load bearing hardware has load bearing capacity approaching that of the hardware being connected. QC inspector for CTR should visit manufacturing facility(s) and verify that key components meet desired sizing, Small Project Part 2, Attachment A - Page 6 of 12 capacity, and other requirements prior to shipment to the work site. Inform COR of these visits with sufficient notice to allow COR’s decision to attend.

Inspect, test or otherwise verify that all jumpers and other electrical connecting hardware have electrical current capacity approaching that of the hardware being connected.

Provide copies of the invoices, specifications and user instructions for all procured hardware and equipment.

Provide Daily Logs and pictures of personnel tasking, equipment usage, and issues.
