the most up-to-date plan sets are being used.
SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS
CQMPs for each major subcontractor and supplier will be included in the Project files as an
extension of this QACP. The CCM or QAC will review the QMPs for implementation on the project
work.
Contractor Management, subcontractors and supplier contracts will describe work or products
needed and the schedule required. The documents will contain the quality requirements needed
by the work or products.
E
The inspection and testing of of f-site materials shall follow all applicable PFCTL specifications
associated with that item. Subcontractors and suppliers will designate representatives to
interface with the QAC and PFCTL. Quality records will be provided to the QAC for all work and
products to demonstrate conformance to Project requirements.
PL
The subcontractors and suppliers will make provision for the QAC and/or PFCTL personnel to
observe, sample, inspect, or test work and products at any point in their processes. The CCM or
QAC will conduct periodic audits of selected suppliers to verify initial and continued
implementation of the QACP.
PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
Quality tests and inspections will be performed during the production of the materials, as
M
materials arrive on the Project Site, and as they are incorporated into the construction. Tests and
inspections will be performed by a combination of VCL Quality Staff, third party testers an d
inspectors, and subcontractor and supplier quality personnel.
Suppliers will perform tests on materials as they are produced. Prior to the material arriving on
the Project Site, testing information will be forwarded to the QAC demonstrating the material
SA
meets requirements. The QAC will also audit selected suppliers to assure they are following a
quality management system and to review the Project requirements with the supplier. The
supplier’s quality management system will be reviewed, along with test records from previous
production and reporting of quality data during production will be established.
Products and materials are identified from receipt and storage through installation. Where
appropriate, a unique number will be assigned and a tag attached. Where traceability is required,
the location of the product or material will be recorded.
Handling
Products and materials are handled on site in accordance with supplier's recommendations,
PFCTL's specific requirements, and good construction practice.
When materials arrive at the Project Site, receiving personnel will document receipt of the
material in accordance with the appropriate procedure. Quality Control will check material for
conformance to Project requirements. Any damage or deficiency will be noted. The materials
will be used or stored as appropriate for the material.
Some materials, such as concrete, will require physical tests as received and will be sampled to
determine their conformance. The Work will be conducted following the proper test procedure
and documented on the proper form according to this Construction Quality Plan.
Packing slips, mill certificates, or other documents from the supplier showing conformance to
E
requirements will be reviewed by QC and QA personnel and retained by QA. Three-ring binders
will be used to compile certificates and will include an updated log of accepted shipments.
Storage
PL
Products or materials not immediately used will be stored. Material for indoor storage is placed
in bins, shelving, racks, or pallets and positioned in neat and orderly condition for ease of
retrieval. Material stored outdoors is placed on adequate dunnage and protected as required by
the supplier.
Protection
Some products and materials will require special measures to protect them from degradation.
M
The supplier's requirements will be followed in providing the proper environment for the products
and materials. The GSS will be responsible for providing proper conditions.
QUALITY TESTING AND INSPECTION
During construction, various elements will be checked and compared to the requirements set
SA
forth in the Contract and/or Project Technical Specifications. These checks will be performed
following the appropriate procedure and documented on the proper form. Testing will be
performed to the project minimums stated in the Technical Specifications. Additional tests will
be performed as needed.
Any inspection performed by PFCTL does not relieve VCL of its quality management
responsibilities.
CONTROL OF MONITORING, MEASURING & TEST DEVICES
Monitoring and measuring equipment used on the Project will be appropriate for the work being
performed, in working order, and calibrated periodically. When not in use, the devices will be
protected from damage and stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements. Records
of the calibration will be maintained.
Laboratories

until resolution is reached and incorporated into the design or otherwise resolved.
 Independent Technical Reviews (ITR): this review provides the technical expertise of
senior staff to the design. Reviewers are not involved directly in the project design; their
reviews focus on assuring that the design meets all project requirements, utilizes the
best technology and methodology available, and includes client-specific preferences.
 Constructability Reviews (CR): these reviews assure that construction-related expertise

is incorporated into the design. VCL’s engineers and project managers will complete
these reviews, adding practical construction considerations to the design. The reviews
include the use of tracked, form al comments returned to the design team in written form.
Each comment is tracked until resolution is reached and incorporated into the design or
otherwise resolved.
For this Project, the DCR, ITR, and CR will be conducted concurrently. After all reviews are
completed and comments are received, the design team will assess the comments and meet with
the reviewer to resolve them. Tracking forms will document this progress.
6. PFCTL Reviews: these reviews are completed in accordance with the Contract requirements.
In general, PFCTL Reviews will include over-the-shoulder reviews during design and a final
review prior to RFC. The reviews include the use of tracked comments delivered to the design
E
team for resolution. Each comment is tracked until resolution by the VCL designer is reached
and the comment incorporated into the design or otherwise resolved.
7. Quality Assurance Audits: Audits are periodically performed by the DQAM to certify that the
PL
QC procedures and all applicable reviews have all been implemented. All design documents
submitted for formal RFC are accompanied by an approval form that is signed by the DQAM,
certifying that the submittal documents have been audited for compliance with the DQMP and
have passed the audit.
8. Other Stakeholder Reviews: on occasion, stakeholder organizations, including the THA or

utilities will be requested, allowed, or encouraged to review and comment on the design.
These reviews will be scheduled and scoped per PFCTL’s direction. The scope of the reviews
will be documented if it is not already included in the Contract.

CQP 208: Field Design Change

PURPOSE
To establish the scope, responsibilities, procedures, and forms affecting and documenting
changes proposed by VCL to address situations discovered after the design package has been
Issued For Construction (IFC).
SCOPE
E
Design changes initiated by VCL to documents Issued For Construction are completed under a
Field Change Request (FCR). Examples of Contractor initiated situations that require
modifications to the original IFC documents include unanticipated site conditions and alternative
PL
construction method/material proposals from VCL, among many others.
RESPONSIBILITIES
VCL generates Field Change Requests. FCRs should be filtered through the CPE (or his designee),
and forwarded to Document Control for distribution to PFCTL.
The Employer’s Representative is responsible for responding to all FCRs. The RFE will facilitate
the review of all FCRs according to the requirements of the QACP.
M
The CCM is responsible for controlling the construction activities once the FCR has been
documented to avoid further work activities that may require removal or rework as a result of the
FCR disposition. The CCM will keep the GSS and the Employer’s Representative apprised of the
impacts to ongoing construction operations as a result of the anticipated design change.
SA
The QAC will be responsible for notifying field quality personnel in charge of assessing the work
for conformance with this Quality Plan of the upcoming changes to the IFC documents. Field
quality personnel will monitor the work elements impacted by the FCR, and report on observed
activities, which may be contrary to the intended modifications.
The Employer’s Representative or his designee will sign each FCR prior to Release for
Construction.
PROCEDURE
The procedures outlined below are to be used to process all Field Change Requests. Revisions
may require modifications to the IFC plans and/or specifications, and can be classified according
to the following:
Level 1 – Request for Existing Conditions Adjustments (Considered Minor in scope). These
revisions are adjustments to match project elements with conditions encountered in the field.
They are limited to minor dimensional and layout adjustments to released design documents,
and do not impact future construction and installation.
Level 2 – Request for Adjustments to Match As-Built Details (Considered Minor in scope, but
require review for major implications). These accommodate specific details of work elements
already constructed by VCL. They are limited to dimensional and layout adjustments to design
documents issued for construction, and do not impact future construction and installation.
E
Level 3 – Request for Revision to Design Documents Issued For Construction (Considered Major
in scope). These are revisions to IFC documents that involve design changes that do not deviate
from project requirements, but are considered to be major in scope. Examples include revisions
to major dimensions and layout, materials changes, or design revisions to accommodate
PL
adjustments to the work. Revisions of this nature may impact several disciplines, and will
undergo a review process prior to re-release.
Specific procedures follow:
1. FCRs are initiated by the CCM (or his designee). The first point of contact for the initiator is
Document Control, who will identify and reserve the next number in the FCR log.
M
2. Document Control will issue an FCR Notice providing the base information of the revisions
requested. The FCR will be transmitted to the CPE (or his designee) for action.
3. The scope of the FCR will be thoroughly analyzed by the CPE to confirm the circumstances
described in the FCR Notice. The CPE will enlist additional information from field personnel
as necessary to clearly define the scope and detail of the revisions required, as well as to
identify the schedule for FCR resolution.
SA
4. If plan revisions are necessary, all design changes to plans, specifications, calculations, and
reports will be sealed by a Registered Professional Engineer. All design work will conform
to the QC checking procedures governing design as identified in other sections of this QACP.
5. Plan and specific ation revisions classified as Majo r (includes Level 3 revisions and
occasionally Level 2 revisions) will be subject to a design review and approval process
similar to that for the original design. The CPE will classify FCR requests as minor or major,
and will determine the scope of plan review necessary.
6. The FCR form will be completed by the CPE or his designee. This summary form will identify
the reason for the change, the revisions made, the specificatio ns and plan sheets modified,
and whether the change exerted a cost and/or a schedule impact on the construction.
7. The completed FCR form and any plan revisions will be returned to Document Control for
duplication and documentation, and will be forwarded to the CCM accompanied by a Re-
Release of Drawing transmittal.
DISPOSITION
All check prints and design calculations are stored in Document Control after the plans have
been approved by the Employer’s Representative.
