PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL (CQC) PLAN

Furnish for review by the Government, not later than 5 calendar days after receipt of Notice To Proceed, the Contractor Quality Control Plan proposed to implement the requirements of the clause entitled INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION of the CONTRACT CLAUSES. The plan shall identify personnel, procedures, control, instructions, tests, records, and forms to be used.

The Government will consider an interim plan for the first 15 calendar days of operation. 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 features of work included in an accepted interim plan will not be permitted to begin until acceptance of a CQC Plan or another interim plan containing the additional features of work to be started.

3.1.1 Additional Requirement

The CQC System Manager shall have completed the course entitled "Construction Quality Management for Contractors" within the last five (5) years. This course will periodically be offered at various locations throughout the Pacific Northwest. For information concerning this course call your local Associated General Contractor's Plan Room.

3.2 CONTROL

Contractor Quality Control is the means by which the Contractor ensures that the construction, to include that of subcontractors and suppliers, complies with the requirements of the contract. The controls shall be adequate to cover all construction operations, including both on-site and off-site fabrication, and shall be keyed to the proposed construction sequence. The controls shall include at least three (3) phases of control to be conducted by the CQC system manager for all definable features of work, as follows:

3.2.1 Preparatory Phase

This phase shall be performed prior to beginning work on each definable feature of work and shall include:

a. A review of each paragraph of applicable specifications.

b. A review of the contract plans.

c. A check to assure that all materials and/or equipment have been tested, submitted, and approved.

d. A check to assure that provisions have been made to provide required control inspection and testing.

e. Examination of the work area to assure that all required preliminary work has been completed and is in compliance with the contract.

f. A physical examination of required materials, equipment, and sample work to assure that they are on hand, conform to approved shop drawing or submitted data, and are properly stored.

g. A review of the appropriate Activity Hazard Analysis to assure safety requirements are met.

h. Discussion of procedures for constructing the work including repetitive deficiencies. Document construction tolerances and workmanship standards for that phase of work.

i. A check to ensure that the portion of the plan for the work to be performed has been accepted by the Contracting Officer.

j. The Government shall be notified at least 24 hours in advance of beginning any of the required action of the preparatory phase.

This phase shall include a meeting conducted by the CQC system manager and attended by the superintendent, other CQC personnel (as applicable), and the foreman responsible for the definable feature. The results of the preparatory phase actions shall be documented by separate minutes prepared by the CQC System Manager and attached to the daily QC report. Instruct applicable workers as to the acceptable level of workmanship required in order to meet contract specifications.

3.2.2 Initial Phase

This phase shall be accomplished at the beginning of a definable feature of work. The following shall be accomplished:

a. A check of preliminary work to ensure that it is in compliance with contract requirements. Review minutes of the preparatory meeting.

b. Verification of full contract compliance. Verify required control inspection and testing.

c. Establish level of workmanship and verify that it meets minimum acceptable workmanship standards. Compare with sample panels as appropriate.

d. Resolve all differences.

e. Check safety to include compliance with and upgrading of the safety plan and activity hazard analysis. Review the activity analysis with each worker.

f. The Government shall be notified at least 24 hours in advance of beginning the initial phase. Separate minutes of this phase shall be prepared by the CQC system manager and attached to the daily CQC report. Exact location of initial phase shall be indicated for future reference and comparison with follow-up phases.

g. The initial phase shall be repeated for each new crew to work on-site, or any time acceptable specified quality standards are not being met.

3.2.3 Follow-up Phase

Daily inspections shall be performed to assure continuing compliance with contract requirements, including control testing, until completion of the particular feature of work. The inspections shall be made a matter of record in the CQC documentation. Final follow-up inspections shall be conducted and all deficiencies corrected prior to the start of additional features of work which may be affected by the deficient work. Do not build upon or conceal non-conforming work.

3.2.4 Additional Preparatory and Initial Phases

Additional preparatory and initial phases shall be conducted on the same definable features of work as determined by the Government if the quality of on-going work is unacceptable; or if there are changes in the applicable QC staff or in the on-site production supervision or work crew; or if work on a definable feature is resumed after a substantial period of inactivity;

or if other problems develop.

3.3 ORGANIZATION

Identify an individual within the organization at the site of the work who shall be responsible for overall management of CQC and have the authority to act in all CQC matters for the Contractor, including stoppage of work and removal of noncompliant work. The CQC System Manager shall be on the site at all times during construction, including during the work of subcontractors.

3.4 SUBMITTALS

The CQC organization shall be responsible for certifying that all submittals are in compliance with the contract requirements by signing the

ENG FORM 4025.
