1.1 DESCRIPTION A. This section specifies the general requirements for quality assurance and quality control including source of supply and quality of materials, acceptance testing by the Owner, control testing by the Contractor, off-site inspection, inspection and use of local materials, inspection of proportioning plants and coordination of finishes. B. Quality Assurance Program: The Contractor is responsible for controlling the quality of Work including work of its Subcontractors and suppliers and for assuring that the specified quality is achieved. The Contractor, Subcontractors and suppliers shall establish, maintain and implement a written Quality Assurance Program meeting the requirements of U. S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Quality Management System Guidelines. The Contractor shall ensure their Quality Assurance Program includes a responsibility to audit themselves plus all subcontracts, fabricators, and suppliers. The Contractor shall note that the MBTA reserves its right to also perform audits. The Program shall be tailored to the scope and complexity of the Work and shall include implementing procedures and inspection forms equal to or more detailed than those included at the end of this section. Subcontractors, fabricators, or suppliers may use the Contractor Quality Assurance Program in lieu of developing their own. If they choose to use the GC’s program (in whole or in part) that decision must be documented in writing to the MBTA. If they choose to use their own pre-established QC program, that must also be documented in writing. In the latter case, the Contractor remains responsible for their quality, and the GC’s Quality Assurance Program shall include processes necessary to ensure the Contractor is adequately overseeing the work of the subcontractors, fabricators, or suppliers. C. The overall administration of the Quality Assurance Program shall be vested in a responsible section of the Contractor's organization. This section shall contain a QC Organization headed by an on-site QC Manager who has clear access to top-level management and to Subcontractors' officers responsible for the execution of the Subcontractor's QC Program. The QC Manager's sole duty is to manage and administer the QC Program. The QC Manager shall have at least five (5) years’ experience in implementing a quality control program on construction projects of similar size, scope and complexity. D. The QC Organization shall be staffed by technically competent personnel with freedom to make decisions without pressure or bias and shall have sufficient authority to ensure that quality requirements are consistently maintained. The Quality Assurance Program shall also describe the roles and responsibilities of other Contractor personnel (i.e. field engineers, superintendents, foremen, etc.) in fulfilling the requirements of the Contractor’s Quality Assurance Program.
