SECTION 01 45 00 Page 5

1.12.1 Preparatory Phase

Notify the Government PM at least two work days in advance of each preparatory phase meeting. When the DFOW will be accomplished by a subcontractor, that subcontractor's foreman shall attend the preparatory phase meeting. Document the results of the preparatory phase actions in the daily Contractor Quality Control Report and in the Preparatory Phase Checklist. Perform the following prior to beginning work on each DFOW:

a. Review each paragraph of the applicable specification sections;

b. Review the Contract drawings;

c. Verify that field measurements are as indicated on construction and/or shop drawings before confirming product orders in order to coordinate work and avoid dimensional errors and rework;

SECTION 01 45 00 Page 7

1.15.1 Completion Certification

Upon completion of work under this Contract, the QC Manager shall furnish a certificate to the Government attesting that "the work has been completed, inspected, tested and is in compliance with the Contract."

1.16 COMPLETION INSPECTIONS

1.16.1 Punch-Out Inspection

Near the completion of all work on a task order or any increment thereof, established by a completion time stated in the task order, the QC Manager shall self-perform an inspection of the work and develop a "punch list" of items which do not conform to the contract documents. Include in the punch list any remaining items on the "Rework Items List", which were not corrected prior to the Punch-Out Inspection. The punch list shall include the estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected. Four copies of the punch list shall be provided to the Government. The QC Manager shall make follow-on inspections to ascertain that all deficiencies have been corrected. Once this is accomplished, the Contractor shall certify in writing to the Government that Punch-Out work is satisfactorily completed and the facility is ready for the Government "Pre-Final Inspection". Allow a minimum of two (2) working days for Government coordination of the start of Pre-Final Inspection.

1.16.2 Pre-Final Inspection

The Government will perform this inspection to verify that the task order is complete. The Government may terminate Pre-Final Inspection at any time should it be determined the work has not been satisfactorily completed or that previously documented deficiencies remain incomplete. In such an instance the Contractor shall resume and progress Punch-Out work and the QCM shall repeat the Punch-Out Inspection. A Government "Pre-Final Punch List" may be developed as a result of this inspection. The QC Manager shall ensure that all items on this list are corrected prior to notifying the Government that a "Final" inspection with the Client can be scheduled. Any items noted on the "Pre-Final" inspection shall be corrected in a timely manner and shall be accomplished before the task order completion date for the work, or any particular increment thereof, if the project is divided into increments by separate completion dates.

1.16.3 Final Acceptance Inspection

The QCM shall coordinate with the Government PM the date a task order final acceptance inspection can be held. The notice shall certify in writing that all items previously identified on the pre-final punch list will be corrected and acceptable, along with any other unfinished Contract work, by the proposed date of the final acceptance inspection. The Contractor shall be represented by the QC Manager, Superintendent, the CA if applicable, and

SECTION 01 45 00 Page 8 others deemed necessary. Attendees for the Government may include the Project Manager, COR, and personnel representing the Client.

1.19 NOTIFICATION OF NON-COMPLIANCE

The Government will notify the Contractor of detected non-compliance with the Contract. Such notice, when verbally delivered to the Contractor at the work site, shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose of notification.

The Government may, at its discretion, issue Construction Contractor Compliance Notices (CNNN's) or other written documentation concerning a non-complaint work. The Contractor shall take immediate steps to bring work into compliance. When a Corrective Action Plan is required by the Government, no corrective work shall occur prior to Government Project Manager approval of the Corrective Action Plan. If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly bring work into compliance, the Government may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No part of the time lost due to such stop orders shall be made the subject of claim for extension of time for excess costs or damages by the Contractor.

3.1 PREPARATION

Designate receiving/storage areas for incoming material to be delivered according to installation schedule and to be placed convenient to work area in order to minimize waste due to excessive materials handling and misapplication. Store and handle materials in a manner as to prevent loss from weather and other damage. Keep materials, products, and accessories covered and off the ground, and store in a dry, secure area. Prevent contact with material that may cause corrosion, discoloration, or staining.

Protect all materials and installations from damage by the activities of other trades.

SECTION 01 45 00 Page 9

3.2 GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE

In accordance with FAR 52.246-12, Inspection of Construction:

a. Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not-

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

b. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the task order specification.

c. The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Project Manager. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work.

d. The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

e. If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may-

(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or

(2) Terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

f. If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Government shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and

Section 09 29 00 Page reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

3.3 GOVERNMENT ACCEPTANCE

The performance and quality of work delivered by the Contractor, including services rendered and any documentation, shall be subject to inspection, review, and acceptance by the Government. All work shall be completed within the time specified in the contract, including provision of close-out documents and correction of deficiencies noted during the final inspection.
