It only implies the Government recognizes defective performance occasionally happens even when QC is working satisfactorily.

8.3. Deficient services are determined during initial QA inspections since the purpose of QA is to determine how well CQC is functioning. The results of inspections are not changed as a result of satisfactory re-performance. Deficient services determined in this manner will be used to compute defect rates. These defect rates will be compared to APLs to determine whether the contractor’s performance is acceptable.

8.4. Whenever QA inspections indicate the contractor's performance is marginal or unsatisfactory; the contractor shall furnish the COR a written plan for correcting his/her CQC program within two (2) workdays. In addition, the contractor shall also furnish written status reports on the implementation of this plan weekly until the COR determines that performance is satisfactory. The COR will inform the contractor of the criteria to be used in determining marginal and unsatisfactory performance at the Pre-work Conference.

9. CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL (CQC). The contractor shall establish and execute a CQC Plan to assure that all work required by this contract is completed on schedule and in accordance with the PRs given in Exhibit 3.

9.1. The results of quality control inspections conducted by the contractor shall be entered on the Quality Control Inspection Log (SWT Form 990, Exhibit 4). A copy of completed inspection logs shall be furnished the COR weekly.

9.2. The requirements in subparagraph 9.1 may be waived by the COR if he determines proper CQC can be achieved without the required submissions. This determination will normally be made on the basis of actual performance by the contractor and shall be made in writing by the

COR.

10. DEDUCTIONS FOR DEFICIENT WORK. Deductions from the contractor's scheduled earnings will be made for services that do not meet the PStds in Exhibit 3. Deductions for documented defects will be made in accordance with the following procedures:

10.1. Each service found deficient and re-performed by the contractor: No deduction.

10.2. Each service found deficient and performed by the Government: Deduction for loss in value shall be based on estimates of the contractor's costs for performing the work.

Initially, the safety plan shall include, but not be limited to, job hazard analyses for the jobs listed below. However, the contractor shall prepare additional analyses as the COR requests or the KO directs. Job hazard analysis directed by the COR shall be submitted for approval within one (1) week. An example of a job hazard analysis is given in Exhibit 5.

11.1.6.1. Loading and unloading of equipment (analysis for each type of equipment to be used to perform services required by this performance work statement.

11.1.6.2. Equipment operation and maintenance (for each type of equipment).
