SECTION 01215 <br />GENERAL QUALITY CONTROL <br />1.1 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS <br />A. Definitions: Specific quality control requirements for the work are indicated <br />throughout the Contract Documents. The requirements of this section are <br />primarily related to the performance of the work beyond the furnishing of <br />manufactured products. The term "Quality Control" includes, but is not <br />necessarily limited to, inspection and testing and associated requirements. <br />This section does not specify or modify the OWNER and ENGINEER duties <br />relating to quality review and Contract surveillance. <br />1.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSPECTIONS AND TESTS <br />A. Residual OWNER Responsibility: The OWNER will employ and pay for the <br />services of independent testing laboratories to perform those required <br />inspections and tests. <br />B. CONTRACTORS General Responsibility: No failure of test agencies, whether <br />engaged by the OWNER or CONTRACTOR, to perform adequate inspections <br />of tests or to properly analyze or report results, shall relieve the <br />CONTRACTOR of responsibility for the fulfillment of the requirements of the <br />Contract Documents. It is recognized that the required inspection and testing <br />program is intended to assist the CONTRACTOR, OWNER, ENGINEER, and <br />governing authorities in the nominal determination of probable compliance with <br />requirements for certain crucial elements of work.
