Quality Work Minimum acceptable level of control not exceeded(Paragraph C.11.c)c. Daily Pest Management Records Completed in accordance with DoD Serviceguidance (Attachment J-C6)2. Primary Method of Surveillance. Planned sampling supported by unscheduled inspections.3. Maximum Allowable Defect Rate (MADR)a. Timely Service 3%b. Quality Work 3%c. Daily Pest Management Records 5%4. Quantity of Work. The quantity of work will be the number of locations where temporary waterstands longer than three days in the areas designated in Attachment J-C9, multiplied by the number ofdays water is standing during the monthly evaluation period. For example, if there are five locations wheretemporary water has been standing longer than three days, and it continues to stand for another nine days,the quantity of work would be 45.5. Level of Surveillance. The normal level of surveillance will be used initially for the contract. Go toincreased surveillance if the observed defect rate (ODR) for quality of work or timely service exceedstheir MADR during any given month. If only the ODR for pest records exceed the MADR, considerincreasing the level of surveillance for that work requirement only. Go to reduced surveillance if the ODRfor quality of work is less than ½ the MADR for two consecutive months.6. Sample Size. The following sample sizes are established for each level of surveillance.QA-39
