The Contractor shall prepare shop drawings and submit eight (8) sets to the Director.

Review of shop drawings is for general conformance with the design concept of the project contract documents and does not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to provide all work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.

10.10 MODIFICATIONS TO PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Contractor and his Subcontractors must submit in writing any requests for modifications to the Plans and Specifications. Shop drawings that are submitted to the design professional for his review do not constitute "in writing" unless it is brought to the attention of the design professional that specific changes are being suggested. In any event, changes to the Plans and Specifications by means of shop drawings become the responsibility of the person initiating the changes. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating and making all necessary revisions to the work of all trades to suit the modifications requested.

Construction changes completed without written approval by the Harbor’s Construction Engineer will be at the Contractor’s risk. All costs associated with unauthorized construction changes shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

10.11 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL

(A) General Requirements: Establish and maintain an effective quality control (QC)

10-9 system. QC consists of plans, procedures and organization necessary to produce an end product which complies with the contract requirements. The QC system shall cover all construction operations, both onsite and offsite, and be keyed to the proposed construction sequence. The project superintendent will be held responsible for the quality of work and is subject to removal by the Engineer for non-compliance with the quality requirements specified in the contract. In this context, the highest level manager responsible for the overall construction activities at the site, including quality and production is the project superintendent. The project superintendent must maintain a physical presence at the site at all times during construction and is responsible for all construction and related activities at the site.

(B) Quality Control Plan: Submit no later than 30 days after the award of the contract, the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Plan. The Engineer will consider an interim plan for the first 90 days of operation. Construction will be permitted to begin only after acceptance of the CQC Plan or acceptance of an interim plan applicable to the particular feature of work to be started. Work outside of the accepted interim plan will not be permitted to begin until acceptance of a CQC Plan or another interim plan containing the additional work.

1. Content of the CQC Plan: Include, as a minimum, the following to cover all construction operations, both onsite and offsite, including work by subcontractors, fabricators, suppliers, and purchasing agents:

a. A description of the quality control organization, including a chart showing lines of authority and acknowledgement that the CQC staff will implement the three phase control system for all aspects of the work specified. Include a CQC System Manager who reports to an Officer of the Contractor’s company.

b. Names, qualifications (in resume format), duties, responsibilities, and authorities of each person assigned a CQC function.

c. A copy of the letter to the CQC System Manager signed by an authorized official of the firm which describes the responsibilities and delegates sufficient authorities to adequately perform the functions of the CQC System Manager, including authority to stop work which is not in compliance with the contract as well as to direct that corrective action be initiated to address non-compliant work. Letters of direction to all other various quality control representatives outlining duties, authorities, and responsibilities will be issued by the CQC System Manager. Copies of these letters must be furnished to the Engineer.

d. Procedures for scheduling, reviewing, certifying, and managing submittals, including those of subcontractors, offsite fabricators, suppliers, and purchasing agents. These procedures must be in accordance with Article XIX – Required Submittals.

e. Control, verification, and acceptance testing procedures for each specific test to include the test name, specification paragraph requiring test, feature of work to be tested, test frequency, and person

10-10 responsible for each test. (Laboratory facilities approved by the Engineer must be used).

f. Procedures for tracking preparatory, initial, and follow-up control phases and control, verification, and acceptance tests including documentation.

g. Procedures for tracking construction deficiencies from identification through acceptable corrective action. Establish verification procedures that identified deficiencies have been corrected.

h. Reporting procedures, including proposed reporting formats.

i. A list of the definable features of work. A definable feature of work is a task which separate and distinct from other tasks, has separate control requirements, and may be identified by different trades or disciplines, or it may be work by the same trade in a different environment. Although each section of the specifications may generally be considered as a definable feature of work, there are frequently more than one definable features under a particular section. This list will be agreed upon during the coordination meeting.

2. Acceptance of Plans: Acceptance of the Contractor's CQC plans is required prior to the start of construction. Acceptance is conditional and will be predicated on satisfactory performance during construction. The Engineer reserves the right to require the Contractor to make changes in his CQC Plan and operations including removal of personnel, as necessary, to obtain the quality specified.

3. Notification of Changes: After acceptance of the CQC Plan, notify the

Engineer in writing of any proposed change. Proposed changes are subject to acceptance by the Engineer.

(C) Coordination Meeting: After the preconstruction conference, before start of construction, and prior to acceptance by the Engineer of the CQC Plan, attend a Coordination Meeting with the Engineer and discuss the Contractor's quality control system. Submit the CQC plan a minimum of 7 calendar days prior to the Coordination Meeting. During the meeting, a mutual understanding of CQC operations, control activities, testing, administration of the system for both onsite and offsite work, and the interrelationship of Contractor's management and control and the Engineer's quality assurance. Minutes of the meeting will be prepared by the Contractor, signed by both the Contractor and the Engineer, and will become a part of the contract file. There may be occasions when subsequent conferences will be called by either party to reconfirm mutual understandings and/or address deficiencies in the CQC system or procedures which may require corrective action by the Contractor.
