1.5.5 Deficiency/Rework Items List

QUALITIY CONTROL 01 45 00 4 OF 5

The QC Manager must maintain a list of work that does not comply with the Contract, identifying what items need to be corrected, the date the item was originally discovered, the date the item will be corrected by, and the date the item was corrected.

a. No successor task may be advanced beyond the preparatory phase meeting until all deficiencies/rework items have been cleared by the QC Manager and concurred with by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

b. All delays, concurrent or related to failure to manage, monitor, control, and correct deficiencies/rework items are entirely the responsibility of the Contractor and can not be made the subject, or any component of any request for additional time or compensation.

1.6 COMPLETION INSPECTIONS

1.6.1 Punch-Out Inspection

Near the completion of all work the QC Manager must conduct an inspection of the work and develop a "punch list" of items which do not conform to the approved drawings, specifications, and Contract. Include in the punch list any remaining items on the "Deficiency/Rework Items List", that were not corrected prior to the Punch-Out Inspection. Include within the punch list the estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected. Provide a copy of the punch list to US Fish and Wildlife Service.

The QC Manager must make follow-on inspections to ascertain that all deficiencies have been corrected. All punch list items must be confirmed as corrected by the QC Manager and concurred by US Fish and Wildlife Service.
