About this file
This is a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) document that establishes the monitoring and evaluation methods for potable water testing services at the George E Wahlen Veterans Medical Center. The QASP defines five key performance areas: microbial testing, chemical testing, water quality testing, reporting, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Performance standards include 100% compliance with testing schedules and regulatory requirements, 100% accuracy and completeness of all tests, 95% timeliness for report delivery, and 100% emergency retest response time. Surveillance methods include monthly random inspections of testing logs and reports, quarterly compliance audits, customer feedback collection from the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and periodic documentation reviews.
The plan designates clear responsibilities among three parties: the COR monitors contractor performance and serves as the primary point of contact; the contractor ensures all testing and reporting comply with the Statement of Work and regulatory requirements while providing necessary materials and equipment; and the Quality Assurance Evaluator conducts random inspections, compliance audits, and compiles performance data. The contractor must submit detailed testing results and reports to the COR within specified timeframes and to appropriate state authorities as required. If performance standards are not met, the process includes notification, submission of a corrective action plan, re-inspection, and formal performance meetings if deficiencies persist. The QASP requires approval signatures from the Contracting Officer, COR, and Quality Assurance Evaluator.
