Division 1— General Requirements, IRC -1639 <br />SECTION 01215 - 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 primarily <br />related to the performance of the work beyond the furnishing of manufactured <br />products. The term "Quality Control" includes, but is not necessarily limited to, <br />inspection and testing and associated requirements. This section does not specify or <br />modify the OWNER and ENGINEER duties relating to quality review and Contract <br />surveillance. <br />1.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSPECTIONS AND TESTS <br />A. Residual OWNER Responsibility: The OWNER will employ and pay for the services of <br />independent testing laboratories to perform those required inspections and tests. <br />B. CONTRACTORS General Responsibility: No failure of test agencies, whether engaged by <br />the OWNER or CONTRACTOR, to perform adequate inspections of tests or to properly <br />analyze or report results, shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of responsibility for the <br />fulfillment of the requirements of the Contract Documents. It is recognized that the <br />required inspection and testing program is intended to assist the CONTRACTOR, <br />OWNER, ENGINEER, and governing authorities in the nominal determination of <br />probable compliance with requirements for certain crucial elements of work. The <br />program is not intended to limit the CONTRACTOR in his regular quality control <br />program, as needed for general assurance of compliance. <br />1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br />A. General Workmanship Standards: It is a requirement that each category of tradesman or <br />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 capable of <br />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 progresses. <br />Control delivery schedules so as to minimize unnecessary long-term storage at the project <br />site prior to installation. <br />General Quality Control - 01215-1 <br />F:\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\1639 69th Street 66th Avenue to US -1 Resurfacing (SCOP)\1-Admin\Bids\Bid Documents - Advertisement\DIV <br />1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS - 20211207.docx <br />
