3/30

Under the Contractor Quality Control

(CQC) System, the Contractor has the

responsibility to control the quality of the

work and

to present for the Owners acceptance

only such work that complies with the

contract drawings and specifications

(from U.S. NAVFAC Reference)

7/30

The CQC Plan is an outline

of procedures, personnel,

and resources to be employed

by the Contractor to ensure

that the work complies withthe contract

(from U.S. NAVFAC reference).


8/30

The core of the CQC procedures isthe 3-Phases Control which includes

not only the submittals-testing-

inspection required in the A&E Plans &Specifications & Notes but also the

Contractors own best practices, to

enable its workers to produce work ofrequired quality throughout

the construction period.


9/30

The implementation of the CQC Plan

enables the Contractor to develop

quality-conscious workers- i.e., workers

who inspect their own work and act as

the quality control for the work crewsahead and behind in the work

process sequence.


10/30

Under the CQC Plan, the Contractors

workers, including those ofsubcontractors, work together

day-by-day and eventually all become

quality-conscious. All those who assist

and support the CQC system may be

called Quality Associates.


11/30

Stated another way, quality is

built into the works by the

Contractors workers, not by

the Owners third-party

inspectors.


12/30

There are other proactive ways for theOwner to enhance the quality environmentof its projects at different stages:1. Owner may include in its CMs scope the early

review of Designers bidding documents (plans,

specs, BOQ). These tasks are called Redicheckingand Quantity Surveying.

2. Owner may include in its Designers scope a more

active role during construction. For instance,

Designers can quickly cull and summarize, from theirown Technical Specifications and ConstructionNotes, the requirements for ContractorsSubmittals,

Testing, and Inspection (STI).


13/30

There are other proactive ways for theOwner to enhance the quality environmentof its projects at different stages:3. The processes of Redichecking, RFI, and BOQ

reconciliation provide the initial interface

among the staffs of the Designers, the CM, and

the Contractor. This interface promotes

proactive integration of quality and timeliness in

construction activities. The CM can also help

clarify issues related to constructionmethodology in the Designers S-T-I

requirements.


14/30

The Owners Quality Assurance (QA)

may be implemented through a third-party

Construction Manager (CM)

is in support and guidance of Contractor

Quality Control (CQC) effort but does not

relieve the latter of any obligation under theconstruction contract

focuses on evaluating and ensuring the

adequacy of the CQC system

includes the authority (but not the obligation)

to inspect or test any selected items of the

Contractors work scope at any time


15/30

The Owners Quality Assurance (QA)

includes the authority and the obligation

to evaluate accomplishments and billingsto ensure Contractors timely payments

and performance under the construction

contract

acceptance by the Owner (or through its

CM) of the Contractors accomplishmentsfor payment purposes does not relieve the

latter of its obligations under warranty

clauses of the construction contract


16/30

Owner-driven Success Factors for Projects1. Quality policy from top management

2. Managed tension between Contractor and CM

3. Providing in Designers contracts their active role

during redi-checking, RFI, and consultations

during construction

4. Expediting completion and clarifications of contract

documents for Gencon, Subcons, and Suppliers


17/30

Owner-driven Success Factors for Projects5. Providing adequate CQC tools- i.e., reference

standards, measuring tools, third-party

specialists, software.

6. Fielding trainor-type staff

7. Providing user-friendly forms, procedures, and

flowcharts for CQC processes

8. Assisting contractors and consultants through

the difficult government procedures for

procurement, contract administration, and

payments.


18/30

Owners Enforcement

The Contractor must accept its responsibilities and

obligations in Quality Control. When the Contractor

fails to control its own construction processes and

those of its suppliers and subcontractors, the Owner

(UP-OCA thru its CM) may intervene with timely

enforcement measures.


19/30

Enforcement Measures: Removal and replacement of

defective materials or

workmanship

Certification for payment only of

accepted accomplishments and

approved materials on hand(MOH)

Retention on certified payments


20/30

Enforcement Measures: Removal of incompetent/careless

/objectionable personnel

Rating in Contractor Performance

Evaluation Sheet (CPES)

Written warnings and LD or Default

TYPICAL CQC TEAM


22/30

DEFINABLE FEATURES OF WORK (DFOW)Are construction activities that:

1. Require separate and distinct work crews;

2. Require separate or special qualitycontrol requirements;

3. Are referenced to (but may exceed) the

Technical Specifications Sections;4. Are all included in (but may exceed) the

list of Critical Path activities


23/30

Three Phases of ControlThe process of 3-Phases of Control is the backbone of theCQC System.

The process covers both on-site and off-site work and

is applied on each definable feature of work (DFOW).

The process starts with a Preconstruction Meetingconducted by the CQC Manager (or by CM) to develop

mutual understanding of the CQC Plan details and how

the 3-Phases Control shall be implemented for each

DFOW In brief, the 3-Phases Control process consists of

reviewing the project requirements prior to starting

work (Preparatory Phase), making sure that the work

starts correctly (Initial Phase), and monitoring the workin


24/30

Preparatory Phase ControlWithin 1 -2 weeks after start of construction, beforeany critical DFOW is commenced on site, the CQC

Mgr shall meet the Superintendent or Foreman in

charge of each critical DFOW, to:

Review the pertinent contract plans & specs

Review the Look-Ahead Schedule and DFOW List

Review S-T-I requirements and status

Follow-up the resolution of RFIs and RFAs

Discuss methodology


25/30

Preparatory Phase Control Prepare OSHC requirements, incl. Material Safety

Data Sheets (MSDS), Activity Hazard Analysis

(AHA), and Accident Prevention Plan (APP)

Confirm available materials, manpower, equipment

Confirm equipments are properly calibrated

Establish any preliminary work that may be

required to begin the DFOW Sign-off the Preparatory Phase Checklist if satisfied

Prepare the Minutes, copy to OCA within

2 working days.


26/30

Initial Phase Control Preparatory Phase Meeting Minutes are

reviewed for any unresolved issue before

on-site work starts

Site situation is inspected if preliminarywork is needed

Once on-site work starts, the initial

segment of the DFOW is inspected forcompliance with required methodology and

contract requirements


27/30

Initial Phase Control Workmanship standards are established by

mock-ups or other appropriate means

OSHC provisions are inspected if complying

The CQC Mgr (or CM, as the case may be)

signs off on the Initial Phase Checklist if

satisfied.


28/30

Follow-Up Phase ControlThe CQC Mgr (or CM, as the case may be) shall:

Conduct in-process inspections of each DFOW

to ensure continued adherence to contract

requirements, issuing Deviation Notices as

needed

Ensure that required testing is done by the

appropriate laboratory and the results properly

acted upon Ensure that rework items under Deviation

Notices are being corrected, reinspected, and

approved prior to performing any work that could

conceal non-conforming work


29/30

Follow-Up Phase Control Inspect and ensure that OSH issues are

corrected

Submit the CQC Daily Report to the

OCA-in-charge

Sign off the close-out document if completion

is satisfactory. The DFOW close-out may lead

to close-out of an activity or phase of the

project. In the CQC system, the Contractor inspects

his own work in process, with his own deviation

notice-correction process. During the learning

transition, the Owners CM shall guide
