If, because of reasons beyond the control of the Contractor, the named individuals are not able to fulfill this obligation, present replacement personnel with equal or better skills and experience for acceptance by the Contracting Officer. Obtain the Contracting Officer's wrtitten consent before making any substitution for these designated personnel.

Establish and maintain an effective quality control (QC) system that complies with the Contract Clause titled "Inspection of Construction." QC consist of plans, procedures, and organization necessary to produce an end product which complies with the Contract requirements. The QC system covers all (design and) construction operations, both onsite and offsite, and be keyed to the proposed (design and) construction sequence. The project superintendent will be held responsible for the quality of work and is subject to removal by the Contracting Officer for non-compliance with the quality requirements specified in the Contract. In this context the highest level manager responsible for the overall construction activities at the site, including quality and production is the project superintendent. The project superintendent maintains a physical presence at the site at all times and is responsible for all construction and related activities at the site, except as otherwise acceptable to the Contracting Officer.

3.2 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL (CQC) PLAN

Submit no later than 10 days after receipt of notice to proceed, the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Plan proposed to implement the requirements of the Contract Clause titled "Inspection of Construction." The Government will consider an interim plan for the first 30 days of operation. (Design and) construction will be permitted to begin only after acceptance of the CQC Plan or acceptance of an interim plan applicable to the particular feature of work to be started. Work outside of the accepted interim plan will not be permitted to begin until acceptance of a CQC Plan or another interim plan containing the additional work.

3.2.1 Content of the CQC Plan

1.6 CONTRACT DATABASE

Data is entered by both Government and Contractor into a shared database. Inputs are live and are immediately visible to both parties. Prior to the pre-construction conference, the Government will input basic contract award data and will continue to provide feedback (submittal reviews, correspondence status, Quality Assurance (QA) comments, and other administrative data) using RMS3 for the duration of the contract. In turn, the Contractor will input its data into RMS3/CM.

1.7 DATABASE MAINTENANCE

Establish, maintain, and update data in the RMS3/CM database throughout the duration of the contract. Submit data updates to the Government (e.g., daily reports, submittals, RFI's, schedule updates, payment requests) using RMS3/CM. The RMS3 database typically includes current data on the following items:

1.7.1 Administration

1.7.1.1 Contractor Information

Contain within the database the Contractor's name, address, telephone numbers, management staff, and other required items. Within 7 calendar days of receiving access to the contract in RMS3/CM, enter Contractor administrative data.

1.7.1.2 Subcontractor Information

Within 7 calendar days of receiving access to the contract in RMS3/CM enter the name, trade, address, phone numbers, and other required information for all subcontractors. A subcontractor is listed separately for each trade to be performed. Assign each subcontractor/trade a unique Responsibility Code, provided in RMS3/CM.

1.7.1.3 Correspondence

Identify all Contractor correspondence to the Government with a serial number. Prefix correspondence initiated by the Contractor's site office with "S". Prefix letters initiated by the Contractor's home (main) office with "H". Letters are numbered starting from 0001. (e.g., H-0001 or S- 0001). The Government's letters to the Contractor will be prefixed with "C". Submit all correspondence and attachments through RMS3/CM. All correspondence shall be signed.

1.7.1.4 Equipment Checks

Include within the RMS3/CM database a list of pay activities that the Contractor develops in conjunction with the construction schedule. The sum of pay activities equals the total contract amount, including modifications.

Each pay activity must be assigned to a Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). The sum of the activities equals the amount of each CLIN. The sum of all CLINs equals the contract amount.

1.7.2.2 Payment Requests

Prepare all progress payment requests using RMS3/CM. Complete the payment request worksheet, prompt payment certification, and payment invoice in RMS3/CM. Update the work completed under the contract, measured as percent or as specific quantities, at least monthly. After the update, generate a payment request report using RMS3/CM. Submit the payment request, prompt payment certification, and payment invoice with supporting data using RMS3/ CM. If permitted by the Contracting Officer, email or a optical disc may be used.

A signed paper copy of the approved payment request is also required and will govern in the event of discrepancy with the electronic version.

1.7.3 Quality Control (QC)

RMS provides a means to track implementation of the 3-phase QC Control System, prepare daily reports, identify and track deficiencies, document progress of work, and support other Contractor QC requirements.

Maintain this data on a daily basis. Entered data will automatically output to the RMS3/CM generated daily report. Provide the Government a Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Plan within the time required in Section 01 45 00.00 10 QUALITY CONTROL. Within seven calendar days of Government acceptance, update RMS3/CM with the information contained in the accepted CQC Plan: schedule, pay activities, features of work, submittal register, QC requirements, and equipment list.

1.7.3.1 Daily Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Reports.

RMS3/CM includes the means to produce the Daily CQC Report. The Contractor can use other formats to record basic Quality Control (QC) data. However, the Daily CQC Report generated by RMS3/CM must be the Contractor's official report. Summarize data from any supplemental reports by the Contractor and consolidate onto the RMS3/CM-generated Daily CQC Report. Submit daily CQC Reports as required by Section 01 45 00.00 10 QUALITY CONTROL.

Electronically submit reports to the Government within 24 hours after the date covered by the report. Also provide the Government a signed, printed copy of the daily CQC report.

1.7.3.2 Deficiency Items

Use RMS3/CM to track deficiencies. Deficiencies identified by the Contractor will be numerically tracked using its Quality Control (QC) punch list items. Maintain a current log of its QC punch list items in the RMS3/CM database. The Government will log the deficiencies it has identified using its Quality Assurance (QA) punch list items. The Government's QA punch list items will be included in its export file to the Contractor. Regularly update the correction status of both QC and QA punch list items.

1.7.3.3 Three-Phase Control Meetings

Maintain scheduled and actual dates and times of preparatory and initial control meetings in RMS3/CM.

1.7.3.4 Features of Work

1.7.3.5 Hazard Analysis

Use RMS3/CM to develop a hazard analysis for each feature of work included in the CQC Plan. The Activity Hazard Analysis will include information required by EM 385-1-1, paragraph 01.A.13.

1.7.3.6 QC Requirements

Develop and maintain a complete list of QC testing and required structural and life safety special inspections required by the International Code Council (ICC), transferred and installed property, and user training requirements in RMS3/CM. Update data on these QC requirements as work progresses.

1.7.3.7 Management Reporting

RMS3/CM includes a number of reports that Contractor management can use to track the status of the project.

The value of these reports is reflective of the quality of the data input, and is maintained in the various sections of RMS3/CM. Among these reports are: Progress Payment Request worksheet, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) comments, Submittal Register Status, Three-Phase Control checklists.

1.7.3.8 Exposure Hours

Log labor and equipment exposure hours on a daily basis. The labor and equipment exposure data will be rolled up into a monthly exposure report.

1.7.3.9 Accident/Safety Reporting

In addition, utilize RMS3/CM daily reports and exposure hours to advise the Government of any accidents occurring on the jobsite. A brief supplemental entry of an accident is not to be considered as a substitute for completion of mandatory reports, e.g., ENG Form 3394 and OSHA Form 300.

1.7.4 Submittal Management

The Government will input the initial submittal register in RMS3. Thereafter, maintain a complete list of submittals, including completion of data columns. Dates when submittals are received and returned by the Government will be tracked in RMS3. Use RMS3/CM to track and transmit submittals. ENG Form 4025, submittal transmittal form, and the submittal register update must be produced using RMS3/CM. RMS3 will be used to update, store and exchange submittal registers and transmittals. In addition to requirements stated in specification 01 33 00, actual submittals are to be stored in RMS3/CM, with hard copies also provided (if required). Exception will be where the Contracting Officer specifies only hard copies required, where size of document cannot be saved in RMS3/CM, and where samples, spare parts, color boards, and full size drawings are to be provided.

1.7.5 Schedule

Develop a construction schedule consisting of pay activities, in accordance with Section 01 32 01.00 10 PROJECT SCHEDULE or Contract Clause, "Schedules for Construction Contracts". Input and maintain in the RMS database the schedule either manually or by using the Standard Data Exchange Format (SDEF). Include with each pay request the updated schedule. Provide electronic copies of transmittals.

1.7.6 Import/Export of Data

RMS includes the ability to import schedule data using SDEF.

1.8 IMPLEMENTATION

Use of RMS3/CM as described in the preceding paragraphs is mandatory. Ensure that sufficient resources are available to maintain contract data within the RMS3/CM with current information. RMS3/CM is an integral part of the Contractor's management of quality control.

1.9 MONTHLY COORDINATION MEETING

Update the RMS3/CM database each workday. As required in Contract Clause for Payments, at least one week prior to submittal of the progress payment request, meet with the Government representative to review the planned progress payment data submission for errors and omissions. Make all required corrections prior to Government acceptance of the progress payment request. Payment requests accompanied by incomplete or incorrect data will be returned. The Government will not process progress payments until all required data is received.

1.10 NOTIFICATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE

The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of any detected noncompliance with the requirements of this specification. Take immediate corrective action after receipt of such notice. Such notice, when delivered to the Contractor, will be deemed sufficient for the purpose of notification.
