[ Establish and maintain a QC program as described in this section. This QC
program is a key element in meeting the objectives of NAVFAC Commissioning.
The QC program consists of a QC Organization, QC Plan, QC Plan Meeting(s),
a Coordination and Mutual Understanding Meeting, QC meetings, three phases
of control, submittal review and approval, testing, completion inspections,
and QC certifications and documentation necessary to provide materials,
equipment, workmanship, fabrication, construction and operations which
comply with the requirements of this Contract. The QC program shall cover
on-site and off-site work and shall be keyed to the work sequence. No
construction work or testing may be performed unless the QC Manager is on
the work site. The QC Manager shall report to the Project Superintendent.
The QC Manager, Project Superintendent and Project Manager must work
together effectively. Although the QC Manager is the primary individual
responsible for quality control, all individuals will be held responsible
for the quality of work on the job.]

accordance with the Contact and according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
b. Verify and document proper performance of equipment and systems.
c. Verify that O&M documentation is complete.
d. Verify that the Government's operating personnel are adequately
trained.
e. Document the successful achievement of the commissioning objectives
listed above.

the specified quality of work. The Contracting Officer reserves the right
to interview any member of the QC organization at any time in order to
verify the submitted qualifications. All QC organization personnel shall
be subject to acceptance by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting
Officer may require the removal of any individual for non-compliance with
quality requirements specified in the Contract.
1.4.3
