The quality control system will consist of plans, procedures, and organization necessary to produce an end product which complies with the contract requirements. The system will cover all construction operations, both onsite and offsite, and will be keyed to the proposed construction sequence. The Contractor shall designate a Quality Assurance (QA) Officer for this contract to assume responsibility for compliance with all requirements of this contract including permit conditions, easements, statutes, laws and applicable regulations. The QA officer will be held responsible for the quality of work on the job and is subject to removal by the Owner or Engineer for non-compliance with quality requirements specified in the Contract and Specifications. The QA Officer in this context will mean the individual with the responsibility for the overall management of the project including quality and production. 5.2 QUALITY CONTROL PLAN The Contractor shall prepare a Quality Control Plan specifying quality control procedures for all critical components of the work. Within ten (10) calendar days of the Notice of Award, the Contractor will submit the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Plan for review and acceptance by the Owner and Engineer. The Owner and Engineer will consider an interim plan for the first ten (10) days of operation. However, the Contractor will furnish, not later than twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed, an acceptable final CQC Plan with which he proposes to implement the requirements of the applicable articles of the General Conditions. The Contractor shall provide the Owner access to all QC procedures, data, and reports at any time at the request of the Owner. All costs related to activities associated with QA/QC shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor shall revise the CQC Plan at the discretion of the Owner and Engineer.

The daily reports shall include all work activity, weather and sea conditions, personnel, on-site materials and equipment list, and/or barge surveys for all barge loads from the first day of mobilization through the last day of work, including site restoration. Reports in electronic format shall be provided to the Owner or Engineer daily and signed hardcopies of the daily reports shall be submitted weekly. Each report shall describe each day’s work and include a narrative describing the length and nature of any delays in work. The Contractor shall include in the CQC Plan a sample daily report for Engineer review and approval. The daily report shall include, at a minimum: 1. Project name 2. Contractor’s name and contact information 3. Date of report 4. Weather conditions 5. Work performed 6. On-site materials and equipment 7.

The inspector shall also record the recommended corrective action to be taken and shall conduct a follow-up inspection within 24 hours to ensure compliance with the corrective action. F. QA/QC Deficiencies: The Contractor is responsible for implementing any corrective actions recommended by the Quality Assurance Officer, Owner or Engineer. Reported deficiencies shall require follow-up inspection within 24 hours by the Contractor and/or the Owner. Recurring deficiencies in an item or items may indicate inadequacies in the CQC Plan, and the Contractor may be required to revise the CQC Plan as directed by the Owner/Engineer and advise appropriate personnel of any modifications required. 5.3 FAILURE TO SUBMIT ACCEPTABLE CQC PLAN If the Contractor fails to submit an acceptable CQC Plan within twenty (20) days calendar days of the Notice of Award, construction WILL NOT start unless an acceptable interim plan is submitted. If an Page 19 of 37  acceptable final plan is not submitted within a reasonable time, as determined by the Owner or Engineer, the Contractor may be ordered to stop work until such time as an acceptable plan has been submitted. Any such stop work order will not be considered a suspension of work for an unreasonable period of time under the Contract and the General Conditions, and the Contractor will not be entitled to pay adjustments as a result of the stop work order. Failure to comply with the above requirements within the time prescribed will be considered a condition endangering the performance of the contract and may be considered ground for termination of the contract in accordance with the Contract and General Conditions. 5.4 COORDINATION MEETING After award of the contract, but before physical work starts and before the acceptance by the Owner and Engineer of the CQC Plan, the Contractor will meet with the Owner and Engineer to discuss the Contractor’s quality control system and general construction operations. Meeting topics shall include review of the daily CQC Report and administration of the system for both onsite and offsite work. There may also be occasions when subsequent conferences will be called by either party to reconfirm mutual understandings and/or address deficiencies in the CQC system or procedures which may require corrective action by the Contractor. 5.5 NOTIFICATION OF NONCOMPLIANCE The Owner or Engineer will notify the Contractor of any detected noncompliance with the foregoing requirements. The Contractor will take immediate corrective action after receipt of such notice. Such notices may be delivered to the Contractor at the work site or sent electronically and will be deemed sufficient for the purpose of notification. If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the Owner or Engineer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No part of the time lost due to such stop orders will be made the subject of claim for extension of time or for excess costs or damages by the Contractor.
