The contractor is responsible for the delivery of quality services/supplies to the Government (see FAR 52.212-4, Contractor Inspection Requirements). A formal Quality Control Plan (QCP) is not required for this commercial service. However, the contractor shall maintain an inspection system commensurate with commercial practices to ensure the Contractor only tenders for acceptance those items or services that conform to the requirements of this contract.

1.6.2 Quality Assurance: Quality Assurance: The Government shall evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is a Government only document primarily focused on what the Government must do to assure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. Non-conforming services shall be re-performed at no increase in contract price. If non-conforming services are recurring, cannot be re-performed, or the services fail to achieve the performance standards in the PWS and referenced in Section 7, the Government may reject the nonconforming service(s) and document the contractor’s performance record accordingly. The Government may also issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) in which the contractor will be required to respond with the development of a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) which identifies the root cause, corrective action for the root cause, corrective action for the specific nonconformance, and the date the corrective action(s) will be complete. The Government may also reduce the payment to the contractor in accordance with (IAW) the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS), or reduce payment to reflect the value of the services performed, or may perform the services and charge the Contractor for any related cost incurred, or may terminate this contract for default.

1.6.2.1 Nonconforming Supplies or Services: When a Contractor’s performance does not meet Contract requirements and/or approved work schedules and/or timeframes it is considered a nonconformance. Nonconformance shall be classified in one of three categories: level I (Minor), level II (Major) or level III (Critical). The Government may re-inspect work designated for re-performance or late performance, and the Contractor may be held liable for any damages sustained by the Government including, for example, the costs associated with re-inspection.

1.6.2.1.1 Level I (Minor) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose, or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services. Minor non-conformance usually can be corrected on the spot, where no further corrective action (CA) response is necessary, and can be issued by the COR to the contractor either through a verbal or written non-conformance report. Minor non-conforming services shall be re-performed within a specified time frame at no increase in contract price. If minor non-conformances are recurring or re-performance is not completed in full and within the specified time a Level II non-conformance may be issued to the contractor by the Contracting Officer (KO).

1.6.2.1.2 Level II (Major) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. Recurring Minor non-conformances, or a non-responsive contractor, indicating a trend or failure of the contractor’s quality control, can also be classified as a Major non-conformance. Major non-conformance’s shall result in the issuance of a written CDR from the KO to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CA for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance and the date CAs will be completed.

1.6.2.1.3 Level III (Critical) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission; is for a repeated or uncorrected level II CDRs; or is for a non-responsive contractor to a level II CDR. Critical non-conformances shall result in the issuance of a written CDR to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CA for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance and the date CAs will be completed.

1.6.2.1.4 The contractor will be notified of Government inspection results within 5 business days.

Rubbish means a variety of unsalvageable materials such as floor sweepings, paper wrappings, non-recyclable containers, cartons, and similar articles not used in preparing or dispensing food. It is easier to define rubbish as any material that is not a recyclable, not debris, not ash, not yard waste and not garbage.

2.1.30 Sanitary Landfill: As a minimum, four basic conditions should be met by any site design and operation before it can be regarded as a sanitary landfill: Full or partial hydro geological isolation: if a site cannot be located on land which naturally contains leakage security, additional lining materials should be brought to the site to reduce leakage from the base of the site (leakage) and help reduce contamination of groundwater and surrounding soil. If a liner - soil or synthetic - is provided without a system of leakage collection, all leakage will eventually reach the surrounding environment. Leakage collection and treatment must be stressed as a basic requirement.

Formal engineering preparations: designs should be developed from local geological and hydro geological investigations. A waste disposal plan and a final restoration plan should also be developed.

Permanent control: trained staff should be based at the landfill to supervise site preparation and construction, the depositing of waste and the regular operation and maintenance.

Planned waste emplacement and covering: waste should be spread in layers and compacted. A small working area which is covered daily helps make the waste less accessible to pests and vermin.

2.1.31 Solid Waste: Solid waste means all those materials that are not liquid waste, but includes recyclables, refuse, rubbish, garbage, ash debris, yard waste and under certain conditions, hazardous waste.

2.1.32 Subcontractor. One that enters into a contract with a prime contractor. The Government does not have privity of contract with the subcontractor.

2.1.33 Transfer Station: A solid waste handling facility used for the consolidation of waste in preparation for transporting to a point of further processing and ultimate disposal.

2.1.34 Transfer Vehicle: Any vehicle used for the transportation of solid waste from the point of waste origin to a point of further processing or ultimate disposal.

2.1.35 Work Day. The number of hours per day the Contractor provides services in accordance with the contract.

2.1.36 Work Week. Monday through Friday, except for Federal holidays unless specified otherwise.

2.1.37 Yard Waste: Yard Waste is a category of solid waste. Yard waste means leaves, grass clippings, brush, and small stumps.
