Contract employees will comply with all provisions of Title 36, Chapter III, Part 327, CFR and obey all posted signs and regulations in the performance of the work under this contract.

Notification to the Contractor will be promptly made in writing if time and circumstances permit. Otherwise, notification will be verbal and confirmed in writing as soon as possible.

However, the Government assumes no liability for the loss or destruction of Contractor equipment while it is stored on Government property.

16. Supervision.

The TPOCs will be Leonard Bakker and David Wethington. The Contractor is responsible for providing on-site supervision and quality control inspections of work performed under the contract.

The Contractor or a Contractor Representative will personally supervise the work or be readily available by phone or other means of communication to respond to any contract issue that may arise when work is in progress. The Contractor Representative(s) will conduct overall management coordination and be the central point of contact with the Government for performance of all work under the contract.

If spills or contamination occur, the Contractor will be responsible for cleanup and any associated costs in accordance with Federal, State and Local Law. Such spills will be reported to the TPOC immediately.

18. Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR).

A CDR is a formal document used by the Government to process defects in services. As initially issued to the Contractor, the CDR describes the discrepancy or problem. The CDR will be discussed with the Contractor or his representative when it is issued. The Contractor will provide his written response on the CDR form within 24 hours of issuance. The Contractor's response must:

Identify the cause and corrective action taken and Identify Contractor action to prevent recurrence.

Upon finalization of the CDR, the Contractor and the TPOC must sign the form. The Contractor will be given a copy of the completed form. Should the Contractor not concur with any decision, etc., the Contractor may so state, in writing, and request a final decision by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer monitors all CDR’s issued, and CDR's are the principle evidence used by the Contracting Officer in determining Government contract actions such as termination or decision not to exercise options.

19. Meetings.

The Contractor is required to attend a pre-work meeting to be scheduled by the TPOC. The Contractor or his authorized representative will report each Month with the schedule and location determined by the TPOC to discuss contract work items. Specific topics of discussion at the Monthly meetings may include issuing inspections, quality control, and upcoming work. If a CDR is issued, mutual effort will be made to resolve any and all problems identified to preclude their recurrence. The TPOC may alter this reporting schedule, or change the reporting method, time, or place if mutually agreeable between the TPOC and the Contractor. A tour of the work site will be conducted following the discussions. It is recommended that the Contractor’s on-site representative or superintendent also attend this meeting. During the pre-work conference, the Contractor will also provide any required submittals not previously submitted.

b. A method of identifying and correcting deficiencies in the quality of services performed before the level of performance is unacceptable.

A signed plan, including Contractor specific information, will be provided to the Contracting Officer and the TPOC, and accepted, prior to the Pre-Work Conference. If changes to this program occur, updated copies will be provided to the Contracting Officer and TPOC.

Failure to provide appropriate Quality Control may result in issuance of a CDR, and/or termination of the contract.

21. Quality Assurance.

The Government will monitor the Contractor's performance in each functional area under this contract and reserves the rights to use whatever additional surveillance procedures are deemed appropriate. The Government will keep a record of all complaints received by the public concerning Contractor performance. Upon receipt of a written complaint by the public, the Government will attempt to verify the complaint and furnish the Contractor a copy of the findings. Should the Government verification reveal a nonperformance by the Contractor, a CDR may be issued.

A Government employee will not be considered an Inspector unless he identifies himself as such to the Contractor, the Contractor Representative, or Quality Control Inspector. No Inspector is authorized to change any provision of the specifications without written authorization of the Contracting Officer, nor will the presence or absence of an inspector relieve the Contractor from any requirements of the Contract.

22. Deficiencies.

If the Contractor fails to perform, or if performance in any area is judged unsatisfactory by the TPOC, the Government will take corrective action.
