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. The program is not intended <br />to limit the CONTRACTOR in his regular quality control program, as needed <br />for general assurance of compliance. <br />1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br />A. General Workmanship Standards: It is a requirement that each category of <br />tradesman or installer performing the work be pre -qualified, to the extent of being <br />familiar with the applicable and recognized quality standards for his category of <br />work, and being 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 <br />storage at the project site prior to installation. <br />01215-1 01215 General Quality Control <br />F:\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\1362-OId Dixie Hwy Highland Dr\1-Admin\Bid DocumentsWlaster Contract <br />Documents\01215 General Quality.doc <br />
