Contractor’s Safety and Health Plan
The primary responsibility for overall management and control of submittals lies with
the Contractor.
Submittals shall be provided in a timely manner, and according to Contract Documents,
to allow for the review, approval, procurement, delivery, and QC preparatory phase of
an item before it is needed for construction. The Contractor will receive no time
extension for delays caused by late or deficient submittals which require multiple
submissions. If a Contractor repeatedly provides deficient submittals, C-P/DPW
reserves the right to back charge the cost of multiple reviews.
9.8 Testing
Testing procedures described in the Construction Contract Documents are another form of
quality control to be performed by the Contractor, ensuring delivery of an end product
which meets the requirements in the contract.
Testing requirements and procedures shall include but not be limited to the following:
An outline of proposed testing procedures developed and submitted prior to
construction.
A listing of required tests as specified in the Contract Documents, in addition to
providing a listing of non-specified testing procedures pending approvals.
Identification of tests to be performed by an independent, C-P/DPW approved certified
testing laboratory or by the Contractor with C-P/DPW approved certified equipment
and procedures or by others (subcontractors or suppliers) approved by C-P/DPW.
ASTM 3740-96, Minimum Requirement for Agencies Engaged in the Testing and/or
Inspection of Soil and Rock as used in Engineering Design and Construction.
9.9 Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance (QA) is the means by which C-P/DPW ensures the completed project
complies with the quality established by the Contract Documents. C-P/DPW ensures that
Quality Control (QC) will be accomplished through reviews, observation and tests by QA
personnel (Field Inspector, Design Engineer, Construction Management Team or any other
authorized C-P/DPW representative).
Responsibilities of the QA personnel include but are not limited to the following:
Respond to Contractor’s RFIs in a clear and timely manner.
