Attachment A- Quality Control Plan Guide

1. Master File. Certify that a master file (record File) has been established. Give project name, location, file number, control and access details. USACE will provide the Master File number and maintain the file; the AE will be responsible for providing pertinent information (QCP, critical correspondence, review documentation) to keep the file up to date.

2. Scope of Work. Define the task. Designate project team. Assign responsibilities. Address budget and schedule. Discuss CRUCIAL design parameters.

3. Specify the review process. Designate the review team, checking of comps, verification of CRUCIAL design parameters, review by specialists, supervisory review, use of interim reviews, and the Independent Technical Review (ITR).

4. Use of checklists. Identify applicable references and guidance. Discuss design checklists, environmental checklist, others. Show copies.

5. Coordination. Tell who is in the coordination loop. Who needs to know your results? Whose input do you need? How does the USACE fit in? Describe provisions for estimating, specifications, and printing (where applicable).

6. Plan for customer involvement. Show where the USACE customer(s) fits into your planning, review, changes, etc.

7. Analyze CRUCIAL design features. Describe what must not be allowed to go wrong and what steps will be taken to be sure it doesn’t.

8. Site visits. Describe how site visits will be used to insure good design. Detail frequency, coordination, use of photos, field data. Identify any special equipment needed for site visits.

9. Quality indicators. Tell what you will use to monitor budget, schedule, technical quality, and responsiveness.

10. Describe your R&D plan. Be sure your design/study incorporates the latest technical developments.
