1.0 Purpose

1.1 The intended purpose of the Quality Control Program is to establish a formalprocess to ensure compliance of the construction effort at or above therequirements of the project specification and drawing requirements. Only by

monitoring the quality of the individual component parts of the project through thevarious construction phases can any assurance of the quality of the ultimateproject be assumed. It is the mission of this program not only to delineateindividual quality control personnel responsibilities, but to instill in each worker onthe project their belief that attention to quality at all times is paramount.

2.0 Scope

2.1 It is solely the responsibility of XXXXXXXX Construction, LLC. to provide andmaintain an effective Quality Control Program throughout the duration of thecontract. To accomplish the goal of construction in compliance with the contractdocuments, XXXXXXXX Construction, LLC. shall:

2.1.1 Ensure that sufficient inspections and tests of all items of work,including that of subcontractors, will be performed to ensure quality ofmaterials, workmanship, functional performance and conformance tospecifications and drawings.

2.1.2 XXXXXXXX Construction, LLC. shall employ personnel competent inthe field of knowledge for the various Quality Control Managementpositions, and/or subcontract with qualified agencies or contractors, asrequired, to perform the desired services.

3.0 Responsibilities

3.1 In addition to the job-supervisory staff, a separate and independent QualityAssurance (QA) Representative from Risk Management will audit the QualityProgram. He or She will only be responsible to the Senior Vice President ofXXXXXXXX Construction, LLC., but will strive to maintain a close workingrelationship with the job-supervisory staff. The Quality Management Group shallconsist of the following staff as a minimum: Senior Vice President, Director ofRisk Management, QA Representative, Mechanical/Electrical Coordinator.

If there are areas of the site draining directly onto adjacent sites and /or ifcatch basins located in low points would back storm water into a structure if thecatch basin becomes blocked, bring these facts to the architects attention.

11.2 Familiarize self on where all underground site drainage is directed, making surethat there is no reverse flow in pipes. Review plans for possible conflictsbetween underground storm drain pipes and other utility lines, especially othergravity flow pipes (sanitary sewer lines). If possible conflicts, expose conflictbefore storm drain excavation is begun and have surveyor verify that no verticalconflicts exist.
