QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. PURPOSE. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a Government-developed document used to ensure that the Government receives quality services, and pays only for services actually provided. The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the services the Contractor is required to furnish.

2. SCOPE. The role of Government Quality Assurance is to ensure contract standards are achieved. The QASP provides guidelines and methods for the Government’s oversight of the Contractor’s quality control efforts to assure timely, effective services are provided IAW the contract/order. The Contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract.

3. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

a. Contracting Officer (KO): A person duly appointed with the authority to enter into, administer and terminate contracts on behalf of the Government. The KO is the only person who can legally obligate the Government. The KO, as the Government’s agent, is the only individual that can modify the contract/order. The KO is the final authority for determining the adequacy of the Contractor’s performance. The KO decisions arising under or relating to the contact are final.

b. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): An individual designated in writing by the KO to perform specific technical and administrative functions within the scope and limitations of their written appointment (e.g., surveillance of Contractor’s performance, accept services). The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or authorize any changes to the order/contract or in any way obligate additional funds by the Government; such authority rests solely with the KO.

c. Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE): An individual designated by the requiring activity, typically the Section or Branch Chief, to assist the COR and provide technical oversight of the Contractor’s performance. The QAE’s primary duty is to monitor the Contractor’s performance by physically checking to see that tasks are completed, reports are submitted, and required quality and standard of practice are achieved. When a surveillance observation results in an unacceptable evaluation, the QAE will report the unacceptable performance to the COR. The QAE is not authorized to direct work, direct performance, change the contract, or in any way obligate payment of funds by the Government.

4. METHODS OF SURVEILLANCE. Surveillance is performed by the Government to provide objective quality evidence that there is a reasonable level of confidence that the services provided by the Contractor have met all the requirements of the contract before authorizing payment. Typical work to be conducted under this contract are field surveys including topographic, hydrographic, aerial mapping (LiDAR), GPS control, boundary establishment, office computations, and other specialized surveys. The primary methods of surveillance are reviews of mapping products, periodic assessments of services and customer feedback.

a. Periodic Assessment of Services: For services that occur over a number of months, the COR will evaluate Contractor performance on a quarterly basis or at agreed upon project milestones and upon completion of services. Generally, the Government will rely on the Contractor’s Quality Control system to ensure that services conform to contract quality requirements before they are tendered to the Government for acceptance.

b. Customer Feedback: Customer feedback is typically obtained via telephone or email.

Telephonic customer complaints must be followed up in writing/email. To be considered valid, the customer complaint must clearly articulate the nature of the complaint, time, date, etc. The COR will investigate the complaint, if determined valid, the COR will advise the KO and the Contractor of the deficiency. Copies of valid complaints and the resolution must be retained in the official contract file.

5. SURVEILLANCE PROCEDURES.

a. The COR will develop a schedule of products and milestones based on the Scope of Work. The reviews and/or surveillance outlined in the schedule will be as detailed and in-depth as necessary to provide the Government with the objective quality evidence required to support acceptance of contract invoices. The schedule will identify the date of review or inspection, and activity or product to be monitored or reviewed. Additional inspections may be added as needed for field or testing activities.

b. The COR/QAE will monitor performance in accordance with the schedule and will ensure all services required by the contract are successfully performed to an acceptable level of quality. All field or office inspections will be documented and include as a minimum date and time, who performed the inspection, what was inspected, to what standard and the results. Successful or exceptional performance will be documented as well as deficiencies in Contractor performance.

Documentation will be maintained for future reference, audit, and proof of inspection. Any uncorrected or unacceptable observation will result in an unacceptable rating, a corrective action request to the Contractor and notification to the KO.

c. The COR will notify the Contractor each time an unacceptable observation has been recorded and ask the Contractor to correct the problem. The COR/QAE will record the contract requirement, the specific deficiency to the requirement; the date and time it was discovered, and have the Contractor acknowledge the notification. The Contractor will be required to correct the deficiency in accordance with requirements of the contract. Critical deficiencies that will prevent adequate performance of the contract that are not corrected within the project schedule will be reported to the Contracting Officer.

d. The COR will report to the KO more serious (systemic in nature) deficiencies or recurring deficiencies in the same area that could indicate a trend. The KO will notify the Contractor and request corrective action. The KO may require the Contractor to re-perform any services that do not meet contract requirements at no additional cost to the Government.

The Contractor will return a copy of the completed and signed CDR to the KO for inclusion in the contract/order file.

e. The COR/QAE will re-inspect items that were found deficient to ensure corrections were made within the timeframe outlined in the contract or other agreed upon time. The COR/QAE will not consider the services complete until all deficiencies have been corrected. Contractor’s failure to complete corrective actions will be reported immediately to the KO for further action.

f. Upon satisfactory completion of work, the COR/QAE will accept the services provided and authorize payment, by approving the Contractors invoice.

6. SURVEILLANCE STANDARD. The performance Standard set forth in the Statement of Work/Scope of Work/Performance Work Statement, whichever is applicable to the contract/task order, is the standard the Contractor must meet for the services to be deemed acceptable. Generally, under commercial service contracts, the Government is relying on the Contractor’s assurances that the services conform to contract requirements. Consistent with FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions, (a) Inspection and Acceptance, the Contractor shall only tender for acceptance those services that conform to the requirements of the contract/task order. The government may require re-performance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. The Government reserves the right to refuse acceptance of nonconforming services. In no case shall the Government’s right to inspect services under the inspection provision of the contract be prejudiced.

7. QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE DOCUMENTATION.

a. The following shall be documented in the virtual contracting enterprise system (CORT):

i. Copy of the COR appointment letter from the KO, any changes to that letter, and any termination letters

ii. Training Certifications for COR
