SECTION 3
SUBMITTALS
This section describes the procedures for CM processing of submittals from contractors.
The CM will administer and control the processing of contractor submittals. After being
reviewed for completeness, submittal documents will be transmitted to the relevant project staff
for review and verification for compliance with contract requirements. The submittals
disposition will be noted on the submittal, which will be signed, dated and returned to the
contractor. If required, the contractor will revise the submittal, incorporating the comments and
will resubmit it for review and verification for compliance. Submittals will be logged and copies
will be retained in the project files.
3.1 SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE
The contractor will submit and maintain a submittal schedule. The CM will review and after
consulting BM-BSA will approve the submittal schedule. The schedule will be initially
submitted within 14 days after the award of the contract and then monthly with the
monthly baseline schedule updates. The CM shall work with the contractor to prioritize and
sequence submittals so that the most critical submittals are received and processed first. The
submittal schedule will become the baseline against which receipt of all required submittals
will be compared.
The
approved submittal schedule will be forwarded to the Engineer of Record for resource
availability planning.
3.2 PROCESS, REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE
Submittals will be managed as follows:
1. CMCS will number and certify the completeness of all submittals before submitting to
the CM;
2.
CMCS must also complete submittal transmittal forms and submit six paper
copies and one electronic copy of all required submittals to the CMs document
manager (the submittal transmittal form will always accompany each submittal
package to and from the contractor, the CM and the Engineer of Record);
3. Upon receiving the submittal the CM will log the submittal and provide a review to
ascertain whether the package is complete. If the submittal is incomplete the
submittal will be returned to the contractor.
4. The original submittal transmittal and all copied attachments will be logged into the
document tracking system. The CM will then forward submittals to the appropriate
reviewers.
3-1

5. If the CM provides a submittal to the Engineer of Record for review, they will
review it for general conformance with contract design documents, will coordinate
concurrent discipline reviews within the design team, will coordinate concurrent
reviews by owner and other entities, and consolidate responses into a single
coordinated action.
6. After reviewing the submittal the Engineer of Record (or other designated reviewer)
makes the appropriate notations and action taken on the submitted documents and
returns the submittal to the CM.
7. The CM will return a minimum of one copy of the submittal to the contractor with an
original stamp of the action required.
8. The six actions that may be taken for each submittal are:
Approved Submittal meets contract requirements. No additional copies will be
required of the contractor.
Approved As Noted Submittal meets contract requirements with minor
corrections noted. Re-submittal is not required. Contractor must incorporate the
required corrections into the work in the field. No additional copies will be
required of the contractor.
Revise and Resubmit Submittal has some selected areas that do not meet
requirements. These areas can be revised to meet requirements, and the entire
submittal must be re-submitted for review and approval. No work will begin in
the field until the revised submittal has been approved.
Rejected Submittal is inadequate and does not meet contract requirements.
Revise the complete submittal and resubmit for approval. No work will begin in
the field until the revised submittal has been approved.
For Information Only Submitted for information only; no response action
required
Received, No Action Taken Receipt of submittal is noted; no further action
required.
9. When a submittal is to be revised and resubmitted, the contractor will revise the
submittal and indicate this revision by incrementing the revision number. The
contractors submittal process will then be repeated.
The CM is responsible for tracking the submittal package during the entire review process
and advising all concerned of any schedule impacts to ensure that the review process timeframe
is adhered to. The CM will retain copies of all submittal documents and revisions and ensure
that an accurate file is available for ready retrieval during the life of the project. The CM will
maintain all submittal files. These files will be filed by numeric sequence. Each submittal file
will contain a complete submittal copy of the submittal before and after the review process.
3-2

3.3 STORAGE
The CM will maintain all submittal files via a combination of a secure document filing and
storage system, and a computerized document tracking system.
3-3

SECTION 4
PERFORMANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The performance monitoring requirements applicable consist of the Quality of Life
Performance Standards (QoLPS) and the Sewage and Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) requirements. The Contract Technical Specifications impose these requirements upon
the FSWC and PEI contractors and require specific plans for contractor compliance and related
work-area monitoring. The CM will perform QA oversight of contractor compliance and related
work-area monitoring pursuant to the submitted plans.
4.1 QUALITY OF LIFE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Construction activities will be performed in accordance with the relevant portions of the
Phase 1 FDR (BBL, 2006) that address the QoLPS established by EPA for Phase 1 of the
TP Action in the Upper Hudson River. Those standards address air quality, odor, noise, lighting,
and navigation.
The portions of the air quality standard relating to polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) and to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) do not apply to
the FSWC and PEI activities, although the portion of that standard relating to opacity does.
RAWP #1 includes a QoLPS Field Sampling Plan (FSP) - Phase 1 FSWC, which details
the QoLPS compliance monitoring activities that will be undertaken during the FSWC to assess
and verify achievement of the applicable QoLPS for the FSWC.
During construction of the processing facility and rail yard, the contractors will comply
with the performance and monitoring requirements established by the following Technical
Specification Sections:
01140 - Work Restrictions
02371- Dust, Soil Erosion, and Sediment Control
02935 Lighting from Facility Site Work Construction
02930 Noise from Facility Site Work Construction
RAWP #1 includes contractor work plans for meeting these requirements. Please refer to
RAWP #1, the QoLPS FSP, and the referenced specifications for more detail on these
requirements, the underlying standards, and the monitoring activities that will be performed to
verify compliance.
4-1

4.2 POLLUTION PREVENTION
During construction of the facility site work and rail yard, the contractors will comply with
the pollution prevention performance and monitoring requirements established by the technical
specifications. These requirements are summarized below.
4.2.1 Storm water Pollution Prevention and Dust Control
CMCS will comply with the performance and monitoring requirements established by
Technical Specification
Dust, Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control. RAWP #1 and
RAWP #2 call for contract-specific SWPPPs in accordance with Specification
01460. Please refer to the referenced TP-AWPs and Specifications for more detail on
4.3 REPORTING
Monitoring data obtained by the CM during the work will be included in the monthly
progress report under the CD, as described in the documents .
4-2

SECTION 5
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION ACTIVITIES
The contractor QC control, verification, and acceptance testing plans set out the QC
inspections and testing for implementation of each technical specification applicable to the
contractors scope of work. The plans will cover the type, test standard, frequency, control
requirements, and assigned responsibility for inspections and tests. The CM will review and
approve these plans as part of the contractor CQCP submittals.
After being approved by the CM the contractor CQCPs are available upon request for
informational purposes only.
Ongoing QA monitoring and oversight of contractor QC inspections and testing will be
performed by the CM. In this manner, the inspections and tests required to measure compliance
with the relevant portions of the Phase 1 Final Design Report for Contracts 1, 2 and 3A are
established and carried out.
5.1 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
REQUIREMENTS
CMCS shall perform the inspections and tests as prescribed in the technical specifications
for Contracts for all parts of the project.
QA inspection and testing will be used to verify the adequacy and effectiveness of the
contractor QC program. The QA inspection and testing frequency will be at the discretion of the
CQAO based on results of QC tests, evaluation of daily reports, audits of the QC program and
verification testing conducted by the CM and owners third party testing firm. Should
information become available that indicates a potential problem, the CQAO will review in detail
all pertinent information and order additional verification testing if necessary.
Contractor QC control, verification, and acceptance testing plans set out the contractors
specific QC testing and inspection pursuant to Specification 01450 1.03 B and the relevant
design specification. Table 5.1 summarizes the content of such an inspection and testing plan
applicable to FSWC. Appendices A, B, and C provide supporting detail for Table 5.1. QA
oversight of the contractors QC is also indicated on Table 5.1. Further discussion follows the
example. [Note: the example below and Appendices A, B, C are for illustration only and are not
intended to replace or modify contract specifications that will form the basis of actual CQCP
submittals by contractors.]
5-1

Example: Inspection and Testing Plan
Materials qualification testing will be done prior to construction to verify that the
materials comply with requirements of the specifications. The contractor will obtain
representative samples of the materials designated as the proposed source of the
materials. Test samples will be sent by the contractor to the Testing Laboratory. The
Testing Laboratory will report all test results for determination of material meeting
the acceptance criteria. For soils, sampling and analysis will be performed by the
contractor on the onsite borrow material source.
The CQAO or designee will periodically inspect material being used. If determined
that the characteristics of the material being used differ from the material initially
tested, the CQAO designees will direct the contractor to repeat the qualification
testing. If the new material qualification test results meet the criteria of the technical
specification as determined by the Engineer of Record, the new materials may be
used for the work; otherwise, previously approved materials must be used or other
acceptable materials must be sampled and tested as noted above prior to incorporating
into the work. Inspection and testing is summarized in Table 5.1

5.1.1 Inspections
The contractor shall establish a program for inspection of activities affecting quality and
shall cover all construction site and laboratory operations, including both onsite and offsite
operations. Inspections shall be performed to verify compliance with documented instructions,
drawings, procedures, and specifications as required by the contract. All inspections shall be
documented by the contractor as required by Specification Section 01450 3.05.
A four-phase inspection program shall be followed for each definable feature of the work.
The four phases of inspection are:
1. Preparatory Inspection
The contractor and the CM perform preparatory inspections prior to beginning any work on
any definable feature of the work.
Ensure that preparatory inspections include a review of contract requirements.
Ensure that all materials and /or equipment have been tested, submitted, and approved.
Ensure that provisions have been made to provide required testing.
Examine work area to ascertain that all preliminary work has been completed.
Examine materials, equipment, and samples to ensure that they conform to approved
shop drawings or submittal data, that all materials and/or equipment are on hand, and
that all monitoring and measuring equipment is properly calibrated and in proper
working condition.
Record preparatory inspections in the contractors QC documentation as required by
Specification 01450 Section 3.05.
5-4

2. Initial Inspection
The contractor and the CM perform an initial inspection as soon as a representative portion
of the particular feature of work has been accomplished.
Examine the quality of workmanship.
Review control testing for compliance with contract requirements.
Review dimensional aspects of the work.
Record initial inspections in the contractors QC documentation as required by

Specification 01450 Section 3.05.
3. Follow-Up Inspection
The contractor and the CM perform follow-up inspections daily.
Ensure continuing compliance with Contract requirements.
Ensure continuing compliance with control testing until completion of particular

feature of work.
Contractor CQM records follow-up inspection in daily QC reports.
The CM inspection staff records follow-up inspections in their daily inspection report.
Conduct final follow-up inspections and correct test deficiencies prior to the addition
of new features of work.
4. Completion Inspection
The contractor and CM perform a completion inspection of the work.
Develop a punch list of items that do not conform to the approved plans and
specifications.
Include the punch list in the construction QC documentation. As required by

Specification 01450, Section 3.05, include the estimated date by which the deficiencies
will be corrected.
Perform a second completion inspection after punch list items have been completed
and the CM has been notified by the contractor.
The daily inspection reports shall identify inspections conducted, results of inspections,
location and nature of defects found, causes for rejection, and remedial or corrective action taken
or proposed.
Additional QA inspections may include inspection of third-party lab testing facilities,
fabrication facilities, and suppliers. Other inspections outside of the four-phase program
described above will be ordered or performed by the CM to verify compliance with building
5-5

code and standards of New York State. These inspections shall be performed and conducted at
various points of construction that would typically require code compliance inspections.
When deficiencies are discovered during the four-phase or other inspection processes,
focused inspection shall be considered by the CQAO. When material, performed work, or
installation is found on the basis of focused inspections to be deficient and/or does not meet the
project specifications, the CQAO will assure deficiency correction is implemented, as discussed
in Section 6.
5.1.2 QC Testing
As required by the contract specifications, the contractor shall establish a test program to
ensure that all required testing is properly identified, planned, documented and performed under
controlled and suitable environmental conditions, including cleanliness. Testing shall be
performed in accordance with written test procedures in the CQCP. Such test procedures shall
incorporate or reference the requirements as contained in the contract technical specifications,
codes, and industry standards. Per the CQCP, the contractor shall submit the test procedures to
the CQAO for review and acceptance prior to their implementation.
The contractor shall be responsible for establishing a system of daily test reports that will
record all QC test results. Test results from each days work period shall be submitted to the
CQAO prior to the start of the next days work period. When required by the technical
specifications, the contractor shall maintain statistical QC charts. The contractors responsible
technician and the QCM shall sign the daily test reports. CQAO will review test results on a
daily basis and identify any non-conforming test results for discussion with the contractor
regarding potential corrective action.
5.1.3 QA Testing
The CQAO will be responsible for the QA materials sampling and testing program. QA testing
is provided for the verification of the adequacy and effectiveness of the contractors QC testing. QA
testing is performed by the CQAO and is independent of and in addition to QC testing performed
by contractors. QA testing may be performed on a pre-established schedule or as directed by the
CQAO.
QA testing will be performed by or under supervision of the QA staff to validate the
contractors QC sampling and testing. Such testing may be performed by third party testing
services. The typical test frequency will be one (1) QA test for every ten (10) to fifteen (15) of the
construction contractors QC tests. More frequent testing during initial startup may be necessary to
verify the process is under control and complies with the technical specifications of the
construction contracts.
In lieu of
performing independent tests the CQAO may choose to witness QC testing or conduct tests on split
samples from QC testing. When QA and QC test results do not compare or have wide variances,
additional testing may be needed to validate the results. Additional tests to be performed by Field
Inspectors or the third party testing services will be at the direction of the CQAO. The need for QA
testing shall be based on the following considerations:
5-6
Importance of the item as to its reliability, etc;
Need to perform quality checks for fabrication sequences not available for inspection at
completion; and
Deficiencies are discovered.
QA testing shall be performed in accordance with the following:

The CQAO shall develop a weekly quality test and inspection schedule using the
construction activity forecast as a guide. The schedule shall:
Identify the QA test activities.
Identify the hold points
The weekly quality test schedule shall be distributed to the CM and CM field staff.
The contractor shall be provided a one-day advance notice of impending hold points.

5.2 CONSTRUCTION ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

Construction acceptance criteria for materials qualifications, inspection, and testing are
established by technical specifications as illustrated in the example QC tables included in
Appendices A (materials qualifications), B (inspection), and C (testing). Criteria for materials
and equipment have been set by the Engineer of Record in accordance with the applicable codes
and standards, and by manufacturers recommendations. Contractor submittals are to document
conformance with acceptance criteria as detailed in their CQCP (control, verification, and
acceptance testing plan).
5.3 CONSTRUCTION AUDITS
The contractor shall establish and document an auditing system to verify their (or their sub
contractors) implementation of and conformance to the CQCP and contract technical
specification requirements. The auditing system shall be used to make a determination regarding
the effectiveness of the QC system.
The contractors auditing shall be planned, performed and documented in accordance with
written instructions, procedures or checks to be included in the CQCP. The audit scope,
frequency and methods shall be defined in the CQCP. Audits shall be performed by qualified
and properly trained personnel who are familiar with the QC system, auditing procedures and
techniques. Selection of auditors and the conduct of audits shall ensure the objectivity and
5-7

impartiality of the audit process. Auditors shall not audit their own work. The auditing system
shall cover all the quality-affecting activities for construction, as well as laboratories and shall be
applicable to the onsite and offsite locations, including all subcontractors. The results of the
audits shall be documented and reported to the CM. All non-conformance conditions identified
during the audit shall be re-audited to verify the corrective actions taken by the appropriate
organization were effective.
5.4 COMPLIANCE WITH HANDLING, STORAGE, PACKAGING,
PRESERVATION, AND DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
CM field staff will inspect the construction contractors activities to ensure technical
compliance in identification, handling, storage, packaging, preservation, and delivery of
materials, parts, assemblies, and end products. Related quality records and documents will be
maintained and controlled in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 7 of this
CQAP.
5.5 MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY
CM field staff will monitor the construction contractor to ensure that identification and
traceability requirements are met. Products and materials shall be traced from receipt through all
project stages to installation. Documentation such as project control checklists, material receipts,
material tracking forms, procedures, sample and test documentation, and reports will ensure that
the applicable material item traceability is maintained. Project specifications and/or procedures
define product identification and traceability requirements, which generally include the
following:
Materials or equipment intended for use in construction are identified and segregated
until inspection confirms that they conform to technical and quality requirements, and
Materials are traceable to documents attesting to their conformance with technical

requirements that are stated in specifications or drawings. Testing of materials will
also be conducted as necessary to verify conformance with material specifications.
5-8

SECTION 6
CONSTRUCTION DEFICIENCIES
This section provides procedures for tracking construction deficiencies (noncompliance)
from identification through acceptable corrective action. It defines the controls and related
responsibilities and authorities for dealing with noncompliant products or services.
6.1 DEFICIENCY IDENTIFICATION
Deficiency occurs when a material, performed work, or installation does not meet the plans
and/or specifications for the project.
6.2 CONTRACTOR QC DEFICIENCY IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL
When material, performed work, or installation is found deficient, the CQAO (or designee)
shall ensure that the non-conforming material, work, or installation is identified and controlled to
prevent unintended use or delivery. The CM will notify the contractor of any noncompliance
with any of the foregoing requirements. The contractor shall, after receipt of such notice,
immediately take corrective action.
Minor deficiencies noted during test or inspection are verbally reported to the contractors
representative and noted on the Daily Construction Report. Minor deficiencies are items that do not
require significant rework or repair work to correct, and will not result in significant deviations from
required quality standard if corrected immediately.
Control and disposition of such deficiencies shall be by the originator of the Daily Construction
Report and the contractors supervisor responsible for the work and do not require formal action by
the contractors QC System Manager or the CM. Ideally, such minor deficiencies can be corrected
on the spot by agreement with the contractors supervisor.
Non-conformances are major deviations from the contract requirement and/or accepted
standard of quality, which must be formally documented for corrective action by CM field staff or
the third party testing group. Failure by a contractor to correct a minor deficiency after having been
put on notice will also result in a non-conformance if it is not corrected within 5 days of
notification.
Nonconformances shall be formally documented on the example NCR form shown in Appendix D. A
log shall be maintained for all NCRs in accordance with the example form shown in Appendix D.
The NCR shall be distributed to the contractor QCM, BM-BSA, CM, SM
and CQAO.
The CQAO shall follow up on the NCR as required to verify that corrective action has been
completed. The CM or a designated FE shall verify and accept the corrected work by actual
inspection.
6-1

6.3 NON-CONFORMANCE REPORT
The NCR is a formal notification to the contractor that work does not meet the plans or the
specifications for the project. Any item of work found to be deficient - out of conformance with
the construction drawings and/or specifications - will be identified by the inspector on the nonconformance report as described in this section. Non-conformance reports will be included on
the non-conformance log and tracked through verification that the non-conformance has been
corrected.
6.4 CONTRACTOR QC DEFICIENCY CORRECTION
When material, performed work or installation is found to be deficient and/or does not meet
the project specifications, the CQAO will assure deficiency correction is implemented. The
CQAO designee shall ensure that the non-conforming material, work or installation is identified
and controlled to prevent unintended use or delivery. The non-conforming material or item shall
be tagged and segregated by the construction contractor, when practical, from conforming
material or items to preclude their inadvertent use. If segregation is impractical or impossible
because of the physical characteristics of the item or other reasons, the non-conformance tag
shall be displayed prominently to preclude inadvertent use. The CQAO is responsible for
documenting the non-conformance in a NCR as specified in Section 6.3.
The construction contractor will implement corrective actions to remedy work that is not in
accordance with the drawings and specifications. The corrective actions will include removal
and replacement of deficient work using methods approved by the CM. Removal must be done
in a manner that does not disturb work that meets QC/QA criteria; otherwise, the disturbed
material must also be removed and replaced. Replacement must be done in accordance with the
corresponding technical specifications. Replacement will be subjected to the same scope of
QC/QA inspection and testing as the original work. If the replacement work is not in accordance
with the drawings and specifications, the replacement work will be removed, replaced, reinspected, and re-tested.
6.5 PREVENTIVE ACTIONS
Preventive actions are taken to eliminate the cause of a potential non-conformity. For
example, defects that appear on the surface of concrete during construction or within a relatively
short time after completion are usually caused by poor quality materials, improper mix design,
lack of proper placing and curing procedures, or poor workmanship. The contractor and QC/QA
team shall take preventive actions as necessary to eliminate the causes of potential deficiencies
so as to prevent their occurrence. Contractors CQCPs are to include quality improvement
practices to continually improve construction practices and address quality problems at their
source. The CM and CQAO are to monitor, inspect, and audit processes used to prevent
erroneous information or construction products from being passed to the owner. The CM and
CQAO have the authority to implement, verify and review the projects preventive and
6-2

corrective action effectiveness. They are empowered to improve the projects work processes to
eliminate the causes of potential non-conformities.
6-3

SECTION 7
DOCUMENTATION
The Technical Specification 01450 includes documentation and reporting requirements.
Contractors QC documentation must cover all aspects of QC program activities, and includes
Daily Inspection Reports and Daily Test Reports. After CQCP approval by the CM, the
contractors will document the QC activities pursuant to the CQCP. Ongoing QA oversight will
be documented by the CM.
Beyond the data reporting required in Section 4.3 of this document, BM-BSA proposes that
the results of QC/QA procedures conducted to confirm that construction activities meet
applicable design criteria, plans and specifications for the FSWC and PEI will not be included on
a routine basis in the monthly progress reports under the CD.
7.1 DAILY RECORD KEEPING
Project documents will be managed through a combination of a secure document filing and
storage system and a computerized document tracking system.
Sufficient records shall be prepared and maintained as work is performed to furnish
documentary evidence of the quality of construction and laboratory analysis and of activities
affecting quality. Each contractor QC technician shall maintain a daily log of all inspections
performed for both contractor and subcontractor operations on a form acceptable to the CM.
The Daily Inspection and Daily Test reports shall be signed by the responsible QC
technician and the QCM. The CM shall be provided at least one copy of each daily inspection
and test report on the work day following the day of record.
7.2 DAILY CONSTRUCTION REPORT
A daily construction report will be prepared and signed by each FE and FI. The report will
include a summary of the contractors daily construction activities. Supporting inspection data
sheets will be attached to the daily report where needed. Example forms are provided in
Appendix D.
At a minimum, the daily construction report will include the following information:
Date, project name, location, and other identification
Description of weather conditions, including temperature, cloud cover, and precipitation
Reports on any meetings held and their results

Progress photos, where applicable
Signature of the report preparer
As described in Section 7.6, the daily construction reports will be routed on a daily basis to
the project QC/QA files and will be maintained as part of the permanent project record. These
reports are reviewed by the CM and FE, and also distributed to the CQAO and BM-BSA
7.3 INSPECTION AND TESTING REPORT FORMS
Report forms will be completed for inspections and tests conducted. The forms vary
depending on inspection or test type. Representative forms for several types of inspection and
testing reports are included in Appendix D. These forms include:
Description or title of the inspection activity
Location of the inspection activity or location from which the sample was obtained
Recorded observation or test data
Results of the inspection activity
Personnel involved in the inspection activity
Signature of the inspector
7.4 RECORD DRAWINGS

CMCS will submit draft record drawings to the CM for review and prepare final record
drawings based on CM comments. The draft record drawings shall be submitted on one set of
CD-ROM disks. Record drawings submitted on CD-ROM shall be the latest version of
AutoCAD by AutoDesk, Inc.
7.4.1 Responsibilities
The CM working with the contractor will be responsible for assuring that red-line record
drawings are maintained daily throughout the construction process. These red-line record
7-2

drawings will be used to update the design drawings to as-built status at the completion of the
work.
7.4.2 Preparation of As-Built Drawings
The contractor will be responsible for red-lining construction drawings in the field as
preparation for as-built drawings. The as-built drawings will record approved actual field
conditions upon completion of the work. The original design drawings will be marked up by the
contractor as the project progresses to indicate as-built conditions. Where there was a change to
a specified material, dimension, location, or other feature, the as-built drawing will indicate the
work performed.
7.4.3 Review of As-Built Drawings
Upon the completion of the as-built red-line drawings, the contractor will submit the red-line
mark-up drawings to the CM for review. The CM will provide the mark-ups to the Engineer of
Record who will incorporate the mark-ups and issue the final as-built drawings to BM-BSA
and the CM.
7.5 CONTROL OF QUALITY RECORDS
The CQAO verifies QA record accuracy and maintains copies of all quality-related
documentation. This includes, but may not be limited to:
Daily construction QA logs and records;
Inspection checklists and reports;
Surveillance reports;
Non-conformance reports;
Material receiving reports; and
Monitoring and test data.
These records will be stored in files maintained in the project document control files. All
original documents pertaining to project information will be maintained in the project file located
at the project office in Fort Edward, New York.
The CM and SM have primary responsibility for the centralized document control files for
the project and construction documentation.
Pursuant to the contract specifications, the contractor provides an electronic or paper copy
(suitable for scanning) of QC documentation associated with the work to document control
within three business days of the generation of such documents; and one electronic copy of all
required submittals to CMs document manager. All contractors shall maintain a fire-resistant
storage facility at the processing facility site. The facility shall contain all inspection reports, test
records, contract documents, project, and daily field reports.
7-3

All records shall be available for inspection and audit, at any time, by the CM and BMBSA.
