SECTION 01312A
QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM (QCS)
08/04
**************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide specification covers the
requirements for use of the Quality Control System
(QCS) for contract monitoring and administration.
During preparation of the Project Management Plan,
the project delivery team should analyze each
project/future contract to decide if use of (QCS) is
necessary. Its use will be appropriate for
inclusion in most construction and dredging
contracts. However, it may not be necessary nor
beneficial to include the (QCS) requirement in
small, simple, short duration contracts/delivery
orders for construction, or for other contracts
where its use would not be beneficial overall.
The decision to use or not use QCS should be
documented in the project management plan for each
construction project. A district-wide internal
Standard Operating Procedure specifying the criteria
for QCS use is also recommended. Note that RMS, the
Government version, is to be used for all
construction contracts, including those where QCS is
not required.
Comments and suggestions on this guide specification
are welcome and should be directed to the technical
proponent of the specification. A listing of
technical proponents, including their organization
designation and telephone number, is on the Internet.
Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as
a Criteria Change Request (CCR).
Use of electronic communication is encouraged.
Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer
choices or locations where text must be supplied by
