B. KEY ELEMENTS OF THE EARTHWORKS QUALITY

PLAN
Key elements of the [CompanyName] Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan include:

Quality Management and Responsibilities. [CompanyName] fully integrates its quality

management system into the organizational structure and performance management systems for each
project. We:

 Maintain a documented quality system consisting of a quality manual with policies and
procedures.
 Tightly control exceptions to the quality system so company standards are applied uniformly to
every project
 Systematically maintains quality system documents and records.

Quality Control Personnel. [CompanyName] fully integrates its quality management system

es
into the organizational structure and performance management systems for each project. We:

 Appoint a Quality Manager, Superintendent, and Project Manager to each project, each with
well-defined quality responsibilities and the authority to carry them out.
 ag
Have well-defined quality responsibilities for every employee with specific quality responsibilities
for key job positions.
 Plan project quality records and documentation that will be maintained.

tP
Tightly control exceptions to the quality system so company standards are applied uniformly to
every project
 Enforce policies that monitor work conditions before and during work so that quality results are
assured.
ec

Project Quality Coordination and Communication. [CompanyName] tightly controls

the construction process to ensure quality results. We:
l
Se

 Plan quality communications through meetings, reporting requirements, and points of contact.
 Have a project startup meeting to communicate project goals and expectations.
 Conduct preparatory meetings in advance of each scheduled work task to communicate
requirement details and coordinate work activities.

Quality Assurance Surveillance. [CompanyName] audits the quality system to assure it is

operating effectively. We:

 Audit the operation of the quality system on each project for conformance to the Project Quality
Assurance/Quality Control Plan and the [CompanyName] Quality System requirements.
 Conduct annual company-wide audits to evaluate effectiveness of the [CompanyName] Quality
System and improve its operation.

Employee Qualifications. [CompanyName] ensures that only knowledgeable, capable

employees carry out the planning, execution, and control of our projects. We:
 Identify employee qualification requirements, including licensing requirements, training
qualifications, responsibilities, and authority for each job position.
 Train field employees on quality standards and procedures for their job position.
 Validate employee capabilities before they are assigned to carry out quality job responsibilities.
 Questions? Call First Time Quality (410) 451-8006

 Review ongoing employee qualifications and evaluate quality practices and performance as part
of the employee performance management process.

Qualification of Subcontractors and Suppliers. [CompanyName] purchases only from

subcontractors and suppliers that consistently meet [CompanyName] standards for quality. We:

 Clearly define outside organization qualification requirements including licensing requirements,

compliance with specific quality standards, quality responsibilities, qualification of personnel and
quality improvement processes.
 Validate capabilities to meet project quality requirements at planned production levels.
 Verify ongoing quality performance.

Project-Specific Quality Standards. [CompanyName] clearly defines standards and

specifications that apply to each project. We:

 Identify all relevant regulations, codes and industry standards.

 Identify specifications for materials that meet contract as well as regulatory requirements.
 Specify quality and certification requirements for materials and equipment that affect quality.
 Identify special requirements for calibration of quality measuring devices.

es
 Supplement the contract and published standards with [CompanyName] quality standards as
required to reduce quality risks and assure quality results.

I. EARTHWORKS PROJECT QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS

Fulfilling customer contract expectations is a primary objective of the [CompanyName] Quality System. To
ensure that customer expectations will be fulfilled, [CompanyName] clearly defines the requirements for
each contract before it is approved.

The Project Manager ensures that the information in customer contracts clearly defines customer
expectations and that the necessary details are provided to set requirements for construction.
[CompanyName] personnel and subcontractors and suppliers are accountable for compliance to
standards-based written specifications.

To achieve expectations reliably and consistently, specifications are clearly spelled out, not only for results
but also for processes. Specifications apply to materials, work steps, qualified personnel and
subcontractors and suppliers, safe work rules, and environmental work conditions.

Standards ensure that results are specified rather than left to discretionary practices.
All [CompanyName] construction activities comply with generally accepted good workmanship practices

es
and industry standards.

Local construction codes do not apply to this project. The project is not subjected to quality inspections
by local regulatory agencies. ag

M. WORK TASK QUALITY INSPECTIONS

[CompanyName] identifies a list of work tasks which will be quality controlled. Each work task is subject to
a series of inspections; before, during, and after completion.

Each inspection verifies compliance with full scope of the relevant specifications; not limited to inspection
form checkpoints.
The initial work task-ready inspection occurs when work is ready to start and ensures that work begins
only when it does not adversely impact quality results.
Incoming material inspections verify that materials are as specified and meet all requirements necessary
to assure quality results.
Work-in-process inspections continuously verify that work conforms to project specifications and quality
expectations. Work continues only when it does not adversely impact quality results.
At completion of the work task an inspection verifies that work has been completed in accordance with
project quality requirements.

es
Inspection results are recorded and maintained as part of the project files.

The Quality Manager identifies each Task that is a phase of construction that requires separate quality
ag
controls to assure and control quality results. Each Task triggers as set of requirements for quality control
inspections before, during and after work tasks.
tP
Independent quality audits are conducted to verify that the task quality controls are operating effectively.
Construction projects may execute a work task multiple times in a project, in which case a series of quality
inspections are required for each work task.

9. NONCONFORMANCES AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

9.1. OVERVIEW
Should a nonconformance be identified by an inspection there is a systematic method to control the item,
correct it, and ensure that project quality is not adversely impacted by the event.

A nonconformance is any item that does not meet project specifications or [CompanyName] Quality
System requirements.

9.2. NONCONFORMANCES

9.2.1. MARKING OF NONCONFORMANCES AND O BSERVATIONS

When the Quality Manager, Superintendent, inspector, or customer identifies a nonconformance or an
observation, the item is quickly and clearly marked by tape, tag, or other easily observable signal to
prevent inadvertent cover-up.

es
9.2.2. CONTROL THE CONTINUATION OF WORK
After the item is marked, the Superintendent determines if work can continue in the affected area:
ag
CONTINUE WORK: When continuing work does not adversely affect quality or hide the defect, work may
continue in the affected area while the disposition of the item is resolved. The Superintendent may place
tP
limitations on the continuation of work.
STOP WORK ORDER: When continuing work can adversely affect quality or hide the defect, work must
stop in the affected area until the disposition of the item resolved. The Superintendent identifies the
ec

limits of the affected area. The Superintendent quickly and clearly identifies the boundaries of the stop
work area.
l
Se

9.2.3. NONCONFORMANCE REPORT

9.2.3.1. RECORDING OF NONCONFORMANCES
If nonconformances or observed items exist by the work task completion inspection, the Superintendent
or inspector records the nonconformances on a nonconformance report.
The Superintendent sends the nonconformance report to the Quality Manager.
9.2.3.2. QUALITY MANAGER DISPOSITION OF NONCONFORMANCE REPORTS
When the Quality Manager receives a Nonconformance Report, he or she makes an assessment of the
affect the reported nonconformance has on form, fit, and function. The Quality Manager may assign a
disposition of either:
REPLACE: The nonconformance can be brought into conformance with the original specification
requirements by replacing the nonconforming item with a conforming item.
