The Major definable features of work for this contract List the Major definable features of work for this contract.

Also list any test that may be required to be performed for each definable feature of work.

A definable feature of work is a task which is 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 feature under a particular section. This list will be agreed upon during the coordination meeting.

5. 3-Phase Control Inspections The Contractor Quality Control System Manager (CQC-SM) Name of the (QCSM) Person, will conduct a minimum of three phases of control for each definable feature of work to ensure that the construction, including sub-contractors and suppliers complies with the requirements of the contract. The three phases of control are:

Preparatory Phase Initial Phase Follow Up Phase

Three Phase Control Inspections will be tracked by the CQC-SM on the Three Phase Inspection Checklist included in the Attachments Section of this Plan.

Preparatory Phase Inspection After all required plans, documents and materials are approved and before work begins on each definable feature of work, a Preparatory Phase Inspection will be performed. The CQC-SM will conduct a meeting attended by the Contracting Officer, project superintendent, other QC personnel (as applicable), subcontractors, and the foreman responsible for the definable feature. The results of the preparatory phase actions will be documented by separate minutes prepared by the CQC-SM and attached to the Daily QC Report. The superintendent and/or foreman responsible for the work will instruct applicable workers as to the acceptable level of workmanship required in order to meet contract specifications.

The CQC-SM will prepare a Preparatory Inspection Checklist (see sample in Attachments Section of this plan) and submit it for approval to the Contracting Officer or designated representative before any Preparatory Inspection Meetings. At least 48-hour notice will be provided to the government for all Preparatory Inspection Meetings.

Items covered-at- Preparatory Inspection Meetings will-be-as follows, - - A review of each paragraph of applicable Specifications.

Final Follow-Up Inspections will be conducted, and all deficiencies corrected prior to the start of additional features of work that may be affected by the deficient work. All deficiencies will be addressed before follow-on work is initiated.

6. Completion Inspections Punch-Out Inspection Near the completion of all work or any increment thereof established in the contract, the Contractor Quality Control System Manager (CQC-SM) will conduct an inspection of the work and develop a punch list of items which do not conform to the approved drawings and specifications.
