The Quality Control (QC) Manager, is responsible for overseeing the overall implementation of the
Quality Control Plan and coordinates all project testing, inspections and reporting matters directly with
the Project Manager. The QC Manager has the authority to intercede directly and stop unsatisfactory
work and control further processing, delivery or installation of non-conforming material.
Duties:
This Letter of Authorization outlines your responsibility as our site Quality Control Manager for the
project referenced above. As the site Quality Control Manager, you report directly to the Project
Manager. You review the specifications, addendums and plans in their entirety and implement the
Quality Control Program. The Quality Control Program encompasses three phases of inspection:
Preparatory Meetings and Initial and Follow-Up Inspections. All inspections and testing are recorded in
the Contractor Quality Control Report (CQCR) and submitted to the Project Manager. Test reports are
submitted no later than three (3) working days after the test was performed. You and/or your staff are
responsible for reviewing specifications, submittals, as-builts, plans and shop drawings for compliance to
the contractural requirements.
Additionally, this applies to all subcontractor documents. You and/or your staff conduct daily inspections
to ensure that the workmanship and materials used in the construction of the project are in compliance
with the plans, drawings and specifications.
You are authorized to stop work that does not comply with the plans and specifications. You and/or
your staff witness all tests required by the specifications and coordinate such tests with Paradigm
Engineering. You and your staff must document all non-conforming conditions, items and/or
workmanship noted and constantly monitor and alert Safety personnel to safety violations. If, at any

Preparatory Meetings
Preparatory Meetings are performed prior to the beginning of any major Definable Feature of Work. A
meeting is held for each crew performing such feature or when members of the crew change.
Preparatory Meetings are conducted by the Quality Control Manager and/or designee after a complete
review of all applicable plans, specifications, shop drawings and related submittals. A Preparatory Phase
Meeting Checklist (pp 23-25 ) is completed for each Definable Feature of Work and distributed at the
meetings. At the Preparatory Meeting, the Project Manager and Foreman (involved in this phase of
construction) coordinate with Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Safety personnel and introduce
their plan for accomplishing the work. Paradigm Engineering is notified at least 48 hours in advance of
the Preparatory Meeting. The following items are discussed at each meeting:
Initial Inspections
Initial Inspections are performed at the beginning of any Definable Feature of Work and must be
repeated at any time new workmen or new crews are assigned to the work or if the required standard of
work is not being met. An Initial Phase Checklist is completed for each Definable Feature of Work and
distributed at the initial inspection. Paradigm Engineering is notified at least 8 hours in advance of the
Initial Inspection. The same personnel who attended the Preparatory Meeting also attend the Initial
Inspection. These include the Superintendent and Foreman, Safety Personnel and the Quality Control
Staff. The following is accomplished during these meetings:
1. Review the minutes of the Preparatory Meeting and verify that the work complies with the
design documents (ie, submittals, specifications and/or shop drawings).
2. Resolve all differences.
3. Verify adequacy of inspection and testing.
Follow-Up Inspections
Follow-Up Inspections are performed daily to ensure that the control established during Preparatory
Meeting and Initial Inspection continues to provide a product that conforms to the contractural
requirements.
1. Construction daily activities are inspected by Quality Control in accordance with Quality Control
Procedures and the Quality Control Report (CQCR) (pp 18-19) is completed.
2. Installation and testing activities which do not comply with the requirements are documented
on a Non-Conformance Report (NCR) (p 20).
3. Modifications, repairs and/or replacement of materials and/or parts performed subsequent to
Final Inspection require replacement of materials and/or parts installed. Re-inspection and re-
testing are required to verify acceptability. Inspection and testing documents are submitted to
Paradigm Engineering Document Control and are filed and maintained in accordance with
Quality Control Testing and Verifications (p 11).
Signature of acknowledgement indicate that the Three Phases of the Quality Control Inspection
Program are understood and will be followed.

QC Manager Date
PURPOSE
To ensure that tests of the Contractor’s and Subcontractor’s work is adequately planned and that the
necessary testing procedures are available to perform the tests in a satisfactory manner. This procedure
establishes the methods to be used when performing the tests listed in the specifications. Test reports
are submitted to Paradigm Engineering Document Control and are filed and logged with other project
documentation.
A list of tests required to verify that control measures are adequate are delineated in the specifications
and/or determined upon the completion of the design. The list includes the test name, specification
paragraph, feature of work to be tested, the test frequency and the organization’s name that will
perform the test. The QC Manager provides written notice to Paradigm Engineering of the proposed
test 3 days in advance (5 working days for factory or other offsite tests). The QC Manager witnesses
the test with the appropriate organization representatives present and/or with the individual(s)
qualified to perform the designated test(s).
FAILED TEST
PROCEDURES
1. The Quality Control Manager reviews the testing requirements to ensure that the planned test is
in accordance with the design documents: ie, plans, specifications, shop drawings and/or other
documents.
2. Instruments used for testing are calibrated in accordance with established calibration
procedures. Specialists experienced in such work perform the calibration.
3. Technicians performing tests provide copies of calibration certificates and their field notes and
reports to the Quality Control Manager.
4. The Quality Control Manager witnesses all required tests detailed in the design documents
(plans, specifications, shop drawings, etc).
5. Paradigm Engineering’s witnessing of tests does not relieve the Contractor and Subcontractor of
their obligation to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
6. Paradigm Engineering is notified 3 days in advance of all scheduled tests (5 working days for
Factory/offsite tests).
7. Test reports, when completed, are attached to the Contractor’s Quality Control Report and
submitted to Paradigm Engineering.
PURPOSE
This section establishes a system for the control of documentation and records which provide objective
evidence of the quality of items and activites performed in accordance with the programmatic
requirements. The Quality Control Manager is responsible for the control, review, verifications and
maintenance of the documentation delineated in the specifications.
1. After reviewing reports (including Subcontractor reports) the Quality Control Manager submits
documentation to Paradigm Engineering Document Control.
2. All inspections and testing are summarized and recorded in a Contractor’s Quality Control
Report (CQCR). A copy of the CQCR is sent to MSD Document Control and to the Project
Manager. “Original” reports are retained by the Quality Control Manager. Field notes,
inspection forms and test reports are filed and available for review by PARADIGM ENGINEERING.
3. The Contractor’s Quality Control Report includes the following:
a. Contractor and Subcontractor areas of responsibility.
b. Working, idle and downtime hours for equipment.
c. Work accomplished each day, indicating the location, activity and by whom.
d. Laboratory test reports, including the test results (passing or failing), location of tests
and specification references.
e. Deficiencies and corrective actions.
f. Material received onsite.
g. Safety violations and corrective action implemented.
h. Conflicts encountered in the plans and/or specifications.
1. Project records are stored in areas that protect them from damage, deterioration and/or loss at
the site Field Office during the construction period. Records are accessible to Paradigm
Engineering personnel.
2. Project records are stored for a period of time as determined by the contractual documents.
Records, designated for storage, are not to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of within that
period of time. Control and final disposition of Subcontractor and Supplier records, both onsite
and offsite, are to be in accordance with the contractural documents.
SUBMITTALS
All submittals shall be reviewed, certified and managed by the Quality Control Manager. Copies of the
manfacturer’s data (material, equipment, etc.), including catalogue cut-sheets showing dimensions,
performance characteristics, capacities, wiring diagrams, schedules, operation and maintenance
manuals and any other relevant information are reviewed by the Quality Control Manager. The Quality
Control Manager is an authorized submittal reviewer and testing lab report reviewer. One (1) copy of
the submittal remains with the Contractor and one (1) copy is retained by MSD’s Document Control.
Filing of Submittals
Submittals (material, design, data, samples, shop drawings, etc) are filed according to the specification
section and paragraph number in a secure place for reference and coordination. Color and mock-up
samples are maintained in a secure place at the job site for comparisoin with the finished product. A tag
or sticker identifying the submittal number and the date of approval is attached to the sample. When a
color or mock-up sample is not approved, it is labeled as “Rejected” and removed from the job site (if
requested). The record is maintained along with a photograph of the disapproved item with a copy
submitted to Paradigm Engineering Document Control.
SUBMITTAL REGISTER
The Submittal Register is maintained by the Project Manager. Revised copies of the Submittal Register
are provided to Paradigm Engineering Document Control on a monthly basis.
Prior to submittal, all items are checked and approved by the Quality Control Manager. If found to be in
strict conformance with the contract requirements, each item is stamped, signed and dated by the
Quality Control Manager. Copies of review comments indicating action(s) taken are included within
each submittal.
STAMPS
Stamps are used by the Contractor to certify the submittal meets contract requirements and are similar
to the following:
I certify that this submittal is accurate, is in strict conformance with all contract requirements, has been
thoroughly coordinated and cross-checked against all other applicable disciplines to prevent the
omission of vital information, that all conflicts have been resolved, that repetition has been avoided, and
that it is it complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract
requirements by the Contracting Officer.
Date: _________________________________
1. Non-conforming items are those conditions that deviate from the requirements detailed in
the specifications, plans and /or shop drawings. The Quality Control Manager is
responsible for the control and documentation of non-conforming items.
2. The Quality Control Manager prevents non-conforming items from being installed.
3. Minor non-conforming items, which are corrected in the same day, are documented in the
Contractor’s “Weekly Report.”
4. All other non-conformances are documented on a Non-Conformance Report prepared by
the Quality Control Manager, sequentially numbered and dated and include the following
information, as appropriate:
a. Description of the non-conformance including relevant details of the occurrence.
b. Identification of material, component or system by part number, plan, shop
drawing and/or specification number and intended installation location.
c. Source of material or item (name of supplier, owner or subcontractor).
d. Current status or item in shop, warehouse, lay-down yard or structure.
e. Individual and organization which detected the non-conformance.
f. Recommendation for corrective action including sketches, test data and/or repair
procedures necessary to substantiate the recommendation.
g. Cause of the non-conformance and steps taken to prevent reoccurrence indicating
action(s) taken, positions or titles of persons contacted, letters written and/or
procedural changes proposed.
5. The Quality Control Manager signs and forwards the Non-Conformance Report to Paradigm
Engineering Document Control.
6. Each Non-Conformance Report is recorded on the Non-Conformance Report Log by the
Quality Control Manager.
7. Actions to be taken are entered on the Non-Conformance Report Log. The Engineer of
Record initiates the disposition(s) necessary to clear the item.
8. Verification of “Corrective Action” (eg, completion of repair) by Quality Control after the
work in question has been re-inspected and re-tested. Entries are made in the Non-
Conformance Report (NCR) log documenting the Final Disposition of each NCR.
9. Non-Conformance Reports, logs and documents are filed and maintained. Reports and
Records are submitted to Paradigm Engineering Document Control.
The QC Report reports Punch List items (deficiencies) throughout the life of the project and
demonstrates that the QC Staff is correcting the deficiency(ies) in a timely manner. An Initial Punch
List is developed as a result of initial inspections and then maintained throughout the life of the
project. The Punch List is consistently updated and submitted to the Project Manager for
corrective actions. Corrections are accomplished within the time stated. The QC Manager
performs Follow-Up Inspections to ensure the deficiencies have been corrected before notifying
Paradigm Engineering of a Pre-Final Inspection.
After the completion of the Initial Punch List Inspection, the Quality Control Manager and Paradigm
Engineering Representative conduct a Pre-Final Inspection and develop a joint “Punch List” of
noted deficiencies. The Punch List is formally documented along with the estimated date by which
the deficiencies will be corrected. The Quality Control Manager conducts Follow-Up Inspections to
ensure that all deficiencies have been corrected before requesting a Final Inspection by Paradigm
Engineering.
FINAL INSPECTION
Upon completion of the items listed in the Pre-Final Inspection “Punch List,” the QC Manager
notifies Paradigm Engineering 14 days prior to the Final Inspection (or as agreed to) with the
assurance that all items listed in the Pre-Final Inspection and all other remaining work has been
completed and will be acceptable by the date of the Final Inspection.
