E. Tests

1.02 GENERAL QUALITY CONTROL

A. Maintain quality control over suppliers, manufacturers, products, services, site conditions, and workmanship, to produce work of specified quality.

B. The Contractor Quality Control (CQC) plan shall be submitted for review. The plan shall identify quality control personnel and their qualifications, inspection checklists and procedures, process controls, and documentation.

C. Acceptance of the Contractor’s plan is required prior to the start of construction. Acceptance is conditional and will be predicated on satisfactory performance during the construction. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to make chances in his CQC Plan and operations, including removal of personnel, as necessary, to obtain the quality specified.

D. Quality Control is the process by which the Contractor measures actual quality performance, compares it with standards, and acts to insure that standards are met. The quality function is the entire collection of activities through which fitness and acceptability for use is achieved.

E. Contractor inspection is a careful and critical investigation of all work to assure that it conforms to the contract, and to detect variances and act to correct them in time to prevent reworking and delay. This includes detailed, skillful examination and testing with immediate comparison to the requirements of the contract. On discovery of variance, the Contractor will immediately institute corrective action to the requirements of the contract.

F. Quality control shall be performed by the Contractor on a continuous basis and with such diligence that will insure the completion of the contract within the standard and time requirements of the contract.

G. The contractor shall provide and maintain an effective contractor quality control (CQC) to insure construction meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of the contract.

H. Quality control is subject to audit by a government inspector and may be subject to audit by a government-designated consultant. The Contractor is required to give the inspector or consultant all information necessary for this audit.

I. Government agents, including inspectors, engineers, consultants, and quality assurance evaluators, are not authorized to change the contract without the written authorization of the Contracting Officer; this lack of authority extends to all situations in which the actions of these agents could be construed as constituting a change.

1.03 WORKMANSHIP

A. Comply with industry standards except when specified requirements indicate more rigid standards or more precise workmanship. Minimal slope and drainage shall be positive drainage as required by NRCA standards.

B. All materials and equipment shall be installed in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer, and shall conform to the contract documents. Work deemed unsatisfactory by the contracting officer shall be repaired or replaced by the contractor in a timely manner at no additional cost to the Government.

C. Perform work by persons qualified to produce workmanship of specified quality. The project superintendent will be held responsible for the quality of work on the job and is subject to removal by the Contracting Officer for noncompliance with quality requirements specified in the contract.

The project superintendent in this context shall mean the individual with the responsibility for the overall management of the project, including quality and production.

D. CQC personnel shall conduct an inspection of the work and develop a “punch list” of items, which do not conform to the approved drawings and specifications. Such a list of deficiencies shall be included in the CQC documentation. After the deficiencies have been corrected, the CQC may request a pre-final inspection by the Government. Beneficial occupancy may be taken at this time.

The contractor must correct any deficiencies noted prior to requesting a final inspection.

E. Secure products in place with positive anchorage devices designed and sized to withstand appropriate stresses, vibration, and racking.
