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. This <br /> section does not specify or modify the OWNER and ENGINEER duties relating to <br /> 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 inspections <br /> and tests. <br /> B. CONTRACTORS General Responsibility: No failure of test agencies, whether <br /> engaged by the OWNER or CONTRACTOR, to perform adequate inspections of <br /> tests or to properly analyze or report results, shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of <br /> responsibility for the fulfillment of the requirements of the Contract Documents. It <br /> is recognized that the required inspection and testing program is intended to <br /> assist the CONTRACTOR, OWNER, ENGINEER, and governing authorities in the <br /> nominal determination of probable compliance with requirements for certain <br /> crucial elements of work. The program is not intended to limit the CONTRACTOR <br /> in his regular quality control program, as needed for general assurance of <br /> compliance. <br /> 1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br /> A. General Workmanship Standards: It is a requirement that each category of tradesman <br /> or installer performing the work be pre-qualified, to the extent of being familiar with the <br /> applicable and recognized quality standards for his category of work, and being <br /> capable of workmanship complying with those standards. <br /> 1.4 PRODUCT DELIVERY-STORAGE-HANDLING <br /> Handle, store and protect materials and products, including fabricated components, by <br /> methods and means which will prevent damage, deterioration and losses (and resulting <br /> delays), thereby ensuring highest quality results as the performance of the work <br /> progresses. Control delivery schedules so as to minimize unnecessary long-term storage <br /> at the project site prior to installation. <br /> 01215-1 01215 General Quality Control <br /> F:\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\1765 Sebastian Corners Roof Replacement\1-Admin\Bid Documents\Master <br /> Contract Documents\Master Contract Documents\01215 General Quality.doc <br />
