Contract employees found to be under the influence of drug or alcohol, mental or physical impairment, negligent in the use of personal safety equipment or established safety policies or procedures, may be subject to immediate dismissal, depending on the nature of incident. Repeated or continual ongoing safety infractions shall be grounds for dismissal.

Notification of objection by the COR will be made promptly to the Contractor in writing if time or circumstances permit. Otherwise, notification shall be by telephone and shall be confirmed in writing as soon as possible. These requirements shall not be the basis of any claim for compensation and/or damages against the United States and/or any of its officers or agents. In addition, no such removal will reduce the Contractor's obligation to perform all the work under this contract, and immediate replacement will be made as required.

PLANS

The Contractor shall furnish the following plans within 30 days after award date (unless noted otherwise) for approval by the Contracting Officer.

1. Contractor Quality Control Plan (CQC) (within 15 days after award). The Contractor will establish a comprehensive quality control program in accordance with contract clause entitled "Inspection of Services". This plan should discuss in detail the proposed Quality Control Program to be used to assure compliance with the contract specifications and the offeror's proposal per the SECTION H, SPECIAL CLAUSE REQUIREMENTS, “OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL”. The Quality Control Plan should consist of an outline describing the quality control concepts, purpose, and general program overview. Discuss the methods to be utilized to ensure that the program is effective and efficient. Provide a list of all quality control personnel and include their responsibilities, authorities, and positions relative to the organization chart.

Describe the inspection program to be utilized to ensure quality control goals are met. Include the frequency, inspection method, and schedule for each lock, dam and other project facilities and plant. Describe how corrective measures will be applied. Describe the interaction and coordination efforts that should occur between Quality Control and Government Quality Assurance Personnel. The Quality Control Plan will be in sufficient detail to assure the Government that the Contractor is cognizant of the contract requirements and satisfies all performance requirements. In addition to the above, the Quality Control Plan should establish methods of control for the following areas:

Timely indoctrination and training of personnel.

Employee performance and evaluation of this performance.

Identification of decline in quality of performance.

Corrective action to restore substandard performance and correct deficiencies.

Assurance of employee knowledge of work assignment, regulations pertaining thereto or affecting his work, such as fire reporting, safety, erosion of embankments, etc.

Employee health and hygiene.

Security of facilities and equipment (including key control).

Maintenance of facilities and equipment.

Proper reporting by Contractor employees of maintenance needs.

Preparation and submission of required reports to both Government technical and contracting personnel.

Contractor Quality Control Officer. The Contractor shall designate, in writing, a Contractor Quality Control Officer (CQCO) who will be responsible for ensuring the implementation of the CQC Plan. The Quality Control Officer shall be:

Employed directly by the Contractor with limited collateral duties beyond those specified in the QC Plan.

Independent of the Contractor’s field-organization.

Responsible only to the Contractor’s top-level managers/owners (excluding the on-site superintendent).

Have minimum experience of five (5) years in quality control work.

100% of the CQCO’s time shall be utilized at the Tenn-Tom Project performing QC or limited collateral duties.

The Contractor Quality Control Plan shall include 2 Quality Control Inspectors, in addition to the CQCO. The CQC Inspector qualifications shall be the same as the CQCO qualification requirements. One CQC Inspector shall work out of the Bay Springs Office and one CQC Inspector shall work out of the Columbus Office. Both CQC Inspectors shall report to the

CQCO.

Determination of all work required to maintain and repair all facilities, buildings, structures, and all systems in safe and efficient operating conditions are the responsibility of the Contractor.

However, the COR may direct the Contractor to perform repairs or maintenance if deficiencies are observed. This notification may be verbal or in writing. The Contractor shall respond as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours after notification to repair such work items, or advise the COR in writing why this condition cannot be met. Failure to respond within these guidelines without acceptable justification may be counted against the Contractor as evidence of unsatisfactory performance in evaluation for award fees.

The CQCO shall provide for inspection of all items of work and rework to ensure conformance to specifications and drawings. Inspection activities performed shall also include monitoring of subcontractor performance, inventory control, and procurement of supplies. The CQC plan will provide for ongoing inspections of the CQC functions described herein. Government Quality Assurance inspectors will assure that CQC is being followed and is effective, but the presence or absence of a Government inspector shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the proper execution of work in accordance with the specifications. All compliance inspections shall be recorded on a form approved by the COR. All Contractor documentation developed to monitor quality control, to include records of deficiencies observed and corrective actions taken shall be furnished to the Government. If recurrent deficiencies indicate that the quality control system is inadequate, corrective action will be taken as directed by the COR. Upon approval of the plan, any proposed changes must be approved by the COR prior to implementation.

2. Purchasing Plan. The Contractor shall submit a purchasing plan. The Contractor may not purchase any piece of equipment or property, which would require placement on the Contractor's property account without prior approval. Lost, damaged or destroyed items may not be replaced or repaired without prior approval. These parts may be procured locally. In the event that emergency repair parts are required, and it is not possible to obtain advance procurement approval from the COR, the Contractor is authorized and shall be required to procure those parts necessary to affect immediate repair in order to protect personnel and/or property.
