SECTION 9.0 CONSTRUCTION QA/QC PROGRAM
Proper QC by the Contractor can prevent adverse C-P/DPW actions. The Contract
Documents contain clauses that provide means for enforcing contract compliance. Available
means include, but are not limited to:
Require Contractor to remove and replace deficient materials and/or workmanship.
Withhold payment.
Require removal of unqualified personnel.
Stop work until deficiencies are corrected.
Default the Contract.
Enforce liquidation damages.
Disqualification from bidding on future C-P/DPW projects.
Such drastic actions are not desirous and would be necessary only when all other more
amenable avenues of partnering have failed. As originally stated, Quality is more than
meeting the minimum requirements of the Contract Documents. Quality is also complying
with C-P/DPW core values and providing legendary service. And this requires the
complete and full commitment to quality by all parties of this partnership.
