6. DESIGN QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The A-E will maintain a quality management plan that includes overall implementation of the firm’s quality management program to include quality control and quality assurance practices and the quality management organization and processes that will be utilized for work to be performed under this contract. The A-E will outline the procedures to be used for interfacing between the prime A-E and their subcontractors. This plan should identify when key reviews occur during design development, how lessons learned are incorporated, and how design deficiencies are tracked and handled. The plan shall describe a quality control organization with names of individuals, responsibilities, and chains of authority. It shall describe who is responsible for internal quality control reporting, and the quality control reporting to the Government. The quality management plan will be submitted with the first task order issued to the A-E and resubmitted whenever revised. Upon request, the A-E will expediently provide documents/records related to execution of their internal quality management practices to include, but not limited to, review plans, quality control review comments and resolutions, review sign-off sheets, internal quality assurance documentation, etc.

The A-E will submit for evaluation and concurrence a project specific Quality Control Plan (QCP) for contract services required under each task order. The QCP must be prepared in accordance with ER

1110-1-12.The QCP will include quality objectives, organization and responsibilities, quality control processes and activities, and certifications. The QCP will reflect the firm’s existing internal processes, but the plan should include the concept of design checks, interdisciplinary checks, and independent technical review. Bidability, constructability, operability, environmental, and sustainability (BCOES) reviews will be performed for any design that would lead to a constructed project. The QCP needs to differentiate between the A-E internal quality control reviews and external reviews (e.g., customer, regulatory, etc.) and/or USACE quality assurance reviews that may occur at various design phases. The QCP will be in place before work begins on the task order.

The QCP for each task order will include, but is not limited to, the following information:

a. Background Information (e.g., project name, project location, project number/designation, customer, type (e.g., MILCON, FSRM, etc.)

b. Project Scope (e.g., project description; design, regulatory, and customer criteria; quality objectives; deliverables (e.g., plans, specifications, cost estimate, operations and maintenance plan, design documentation report); etc.)

c. Risk Assessment (e.g., assessment of anticipated or potential challenges or issues related to technical complexity, funding/cost, schedule, regulatory actions, political considerations, sensitive or high visibility items, issues/concerns requiring special attention, and associated mitigation strategies)

d. Quality Control Review Requirements (e.g., number and types of reviews, internal vs. external reviews, products to be reviewed, review schedule, etc.)

e. Project Development Team (e.g., design team and review team members, organization and responsibilities)

f. Records and Document Control (e.g., how internal/external comments will be documented and closed, how reviews will be documented; record retention; etc.)

g. Quality Control Certifications. The A-E firm shall provide certification that is signed and dated by the primary A-E firm and their consultants for each product delivery.

“The products included with this deliverable were completed in accordance with the scope-of-work, approved quality management plan and project specific quality control plan. All applicable quality control reviews have been completed as stated in the quality control plan. Our Company believes this product is in compliance with all applicable criteria and the stated scope of work. Incomplete work will be added to this product at no additional cost to the government.”

7. GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE

The Government will review documents prepared by the A-E to ensure contract compliance and to verify that the appropriate criteria and assumptions were used. This effort should be performed to the degree necessary to satisfy the Government that it is receiving a full response to contract requirements. Government quality assurance reviews are not an extension of the A-E internal quality control processes. If, after a quality assurance review has been completed by the Government, it is determined that any portion of the design is technically deficient or otherwise not in compliance with contract requirements, the Government will require the A-E to revise and resubmit.

8. ERRORS IN DESIGN

The A-E Firm is totally responsible for the product being developed, and any review performed by the Government does not relieve the A-E from their design liability. If in the opinion of the

Contracting Officer, an error which is clearly the fault of the A-E is encountered in the design plans during the construction stage of the project, the Contracting Officer may direct the A-E to immediately contact the Area Engineer or other Government representatives at the site of the project for the purpose of rectifying the mistake. The A-E shall perform such services in the manner directed by the Contracting Officer at no additional cost to the Government and on an expedited schedule. In the event that the A-E should dispute the Contracting Officer’s decision in this regard, it shall be considered a dispute, and pending final decision of the dispute, the A-E shall proceed diligently with the work and services in accordance with the decision of the Contracting Officer.

9. PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION

The A-E will submit for evaluation and concurrence and under separate cover with the fee proposal for each task order, the names and professional registration status of individual designers assigned to each task order. At time of advertisement, registered personnel representing each discipline involved in the design will sign, date, and seal the drawing cover sheet in the signature block provided by the
