10、tion*NOTE: During preparation of the Project Management Plan, the project delivery team should analyze each project/future contract to decide if use of (QCS) is necessary. Its use will be appropriate for inclusion in most construction and dredging contracts. However, it may not be necessary nor bene
11、ficial to include the (QCS) requirement in small, simple, short duration contracts/delivery orders for construction, or for other contracts where its use would not be beneficial overall.The decision to use or not use QCS should be documented in the project management plan for each SECTION 01 45 00.1

A district-wide internal Standard Operating Procedure specifying the criteria for QCS use is also recommended. Note that RMS, the Government version, is to be used for a
13、ll construction contracts, including those where QCS is not required.The clauses and sections listed below are closely related to this section and must be coordinated with this section. These clauses and sections should reference Section 01 45 00.10 10 QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM (QCS) whenever appropria
14、te and necessary to require use of QCS by the Contractor.- Contract Clause, Schedules for Construction - Contracts- Contract Clause, Payments- Section 01 32 01.00 10 PROJECT SCHEDULE- Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES- Section 01 45 00.00 10 QUALITYCONTROL*The Government will use the Resident Ma
15、nagement System for Windows (RMS) to assist in its monitoring and administration of this contract. The Contractor must use the Government-furnished Construction Contractor Module of RMS, referred to as QCS, to record, maintain, and submit various information throughout the contract period.

The Government will make available the QCS software to the Contractor after award of the
22、construction contract. Prior to the Pre-Construction Conference, the Contractor will be responsible to download, install and use the latest version of the QCS software from the Governments RMS Internet Website. Upon specific justification and request by the Contractor, the Government can provide QCS
23、 on CD-ROM. Any program updates of QCS will be made available to the Contractor via the Government RMS Website as they become available.1.3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTSThe following is the minimum system configuration that the Contractor must have to run QCS:QCS and QAS SystemHardwareIBM-compatible PC with 1

In case
27、of justifiable difficulties, the Government will provide the Contractor with a CD-ROM SECTION 01 45 00.10 10 Page 5Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-containing these instructions.1.4.2 Contractor Quality Control(CQC) Training The use of
28、 QCS will be discussed with the Contractors QC System Manager during the mandatory CQC Training class.1.5 CONTRACT DATABASEPrior to the pre-construction conference, the Government will provide the Contractor with basic contract award data to use for QCS. The Government will provide data updates to t
29、he Contractor as needed, generally by using the Governments SFTP repository built into QCS import/export function. These updates will generally consist of submittal reviews, correspondence status, QA comments, and other administrative and QA data.1.6 DATABASE MAINTENANCE Establish, maintain, and upd

36、ned equipment inspection dates.SECTION 01 45 00.10 10 Page 6Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-1.6.1.5 Management ReportingQCS includes a number of reports that Contractor management can use to track the status of the project. The value
37、of these reports is reflective of the quality of the data input, and is maintained in the various sections of QCS. Among these reports are: Progress Payment Request worksheet, QA/QC comments, Submittal Register Status, Three-Phase Inspection checklists. 1.6.1.6 Request For Information (RFI)Exchange
38、all Requests For Information (RFI) using the Built-in RFI generator and tracker in QCS.1.6.2 Finances1.6.2.1 Pay Activity DataInclude within the QCS database a list of pay activities that the Contractor must develop in conjunction with the construction schedule.
