Use material travelers to conform with the material tracking log and quality control plan.

The contractor/fabricator has the responsibility to ensure that all work performed complies with the QCP and generate Non Conformance Reports (NCR's)for all work deemed to not meet quality control standards. If the Government determines that fabrication work does not comply with the QCP or that fabrication does not follow approved fabrication procedures, the Government will deem the materials as non-conforming. If the Government finds non-conforming work, the prime contractor is required to direct the fabricator/subcontractor to immediately correct the procedure, conduct additional tests, and submit a written non-conformance report containing data required by the Government to ensure compliance with the QCP.

Perform additional testing as required by the Government at no additional cost to the Government.

Submit Material Test Reports or Certified Test Reports for all material used in fabrication prior to incorporation into the structure.

1.4.4 Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)

Submit a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) for each weld, including prequalified welds, in accordance with paragraph Welded Connections before fabrication is commenced. Individually identify and reference Welding Procedure Specifications on the shop drawings. In case of conflict between this specification and AWS D1.1M/D1.1 as applicable, this specification governs.

1.4.5 NDT Written Practice

Establish the minimum requirements for education, training, experience, examination and certification of personnel responsible for conducting nondestructive tests while in the employment of the contracted company within the Written Practice. It applies to all persons conducting nondestructive tests that are required to be certified to the provisions of ANSI/ASNT CP-189. Additionally the methods of nondestructive testing are to be outlined and described in the written practice and explanation as to how they are used in accordance with the applicable codes, standards and specifications. In addition to the written practice, submit NDT Equipment Calibration Records for all NDT equipment used by both the fabricator and any subcontractors performing NDE.

1.5 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;

submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. "DO" signifies the submittal will be sent to the Technical Lead in the District Office and reviewed by the appropriate staff. Submit the following in accordance
