1. Purpose. To prescribe the policy, objectives, and procedures

to ensure required quality construction is achieved on projects

assigned to Naval Construction Force (NCF) units.

2. Cancellation. COMFIRSTINST 4355.1A. This instruction is a

major revision and should be reviewed in its entirety.

3. Definition. Quality control (QC) and quality assurance are

management systems of published and enforced standards which

ensure construction projects are completed with a specified

minimum quality. Quality construction is just as important as

project execution. A product that falls below standards will not

satisfy its intended purpose and may require excessive recurring

maintenance costs. A product that exceeds the standards

generally consumes more resources than planned. A project which

costs a life or serious injury is not a "quality" project. Job

2

safety and good project base house-keeping are important elements

toward obtaining a finished product of acceptable quality.

4. Background. Reference (a) provides the business processes of

the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Construction

Quality Control (CQC) program. The NAVFAC philosophy establishes

a mutual effort between the construction agent and the Resident

Officer in Charge of Construction (ROICC)/Facility Engineering &

Acquisition Division (FEAD) to deliver a facility which is

acceptable as defined by the plans and specifications. Projects

and Camp Maintenance assigned to the NCF are monitored by the

ROICC/FEAD and Naval Construction Regiment (NCR) Camp Czar in

accordance with normal CQC surveillance procedures which are set

forth in reference (a). Oversight by the ROICC/FEAD or a

designated representative does not relieve the construction agent

of the responsibility to ensure projects meet the standards in

the plans, specifications, and accepted construction practices.

This instruction outlines procedures to help establish these

programs. The program will require the assignment of personnel

to non-direct labor billets. An effective inspection staff,

working within an established command program, will yield the

desired results.

5. Policy. The Commander, FIRST Naval Construction Division

(COMFIRSTNCD) requires that all work tasked to NCF units is

accomplished under an active CQC program. The entire chain of

command is responsible to ensure quality work is put in place.

Quality will be the normal not the exception for projects

executed by the NCF. To prevent discrepancies where the quality

of workmanship and materials fail to match the requirements in

the plans and specifications each unit executing construction

will establish and maintain an active CQC program. The NCF will

utilize the three phases of control as the method of QC of work

performed. The quality of all construction work done by NCF

units will be closely monitored and the requirements of this

instruction will be enforced through daily project QC

inspections, ROICC/FEAD inspections, Quality Deficiency Reports

(QDR) and all division or regimental visits or inspections.

Results and feedback of these visits will be a significant factor

when evaluating the unit’s overall performance. In conjunction

with the above policy the following requirements are established:

a. Roles and responsibilities

(1) Echelon V commands:

(a) The NCR is responsible for the identification,

development, and oversight of all construction projects executed

as unit tasking regardless of location or when they occur in the

Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP) cycle. The NCR will provide

3

construction management and quality oversight for: construction

projects executed in the regimental deployed area of operations;

Innovative Readiness Training projects; and pre-deployment

construction projects. The NCR provides constructability reviews

for assigned projects, coordinates with the local public works

for the execution of quality assurance inspections, performs

quality assurance inspections during project visits, and analyzes

unit reporting. It also provides feedback on the performance of

the unit's QC staff and CQC Program as part of the unit’s Unit

Level Training Readiness Assessment-Sustainment (ULTRA-S).

(b) The Seabee Readiness Group (SRG) is responsible

for providing project management and quality oversight for

projects that are constructed as part of Advanced Base Functional

Component team training and Fleet Training Exercise training

evolutions (i.e., projects that will be deconstructed upon

completion of the training period.) The SRG provides direction

and quality feedback during classroom periods of instruction and

during execution of construction projects in the training

environment.

(2) Echelon VI Commanding Officers will perform all

duties of a construction contractor for job accomplishment. The

Commanding Officer is responsible for providing a quality product

on time within the programmed cost in accordance with plans and

specifications for the specific project. Units engaged in

construction will organize to carry out an effective CQC program

for all projects. NCF units will have as part of their

Operations Department staff; construction inspection and material

testing personnel specifically assigned and trained to perform

these functions as their primary duty. Units that do not perform

material testing are not required to man and train personnel for

that skill. Normally personnel assigned as construction

inspectors will be E-6 or above and fully trained to act as

inspectors. Inspectors should be familiar with all aspects of

construction. The Quality Control Branch will be led by a Chief

Petty Officer or above and reports directly to the Operations

Officer (S3). The establishment of the QC staff does not relieve

the company organization from having an active and responsive CQC

program which functions through the normal chain of

command/organization. Each detachment (DET) will establish a QC

organization tailored to the size and staffing of the DETs

manning and tasking. The unit will consider the following items

when establishing the CQC organization:

(a) The QC staff is a valuable source of information

and expertise. In addition to their quality oversight duties the

QC staff should provide training and/or demonstrate proper

construction techniques and methods to the project crews as

needed. In order to ensure continuity and synergy of the CQC

4

program, once established, the QC organization will be maintained

for a minimum of one FRTP cycle.

1. The QC Chief is S3’s direct representative

and is responsible for the CQC program. He/she reviews and

directs action on each inspector’s daily report as required,

ensures the ROICC/FEAD receives reports and test results, and

coordinates with the ROICC/FEAD to resolve any deficiencies in

plans, materials, or workmanship on any project. QC Chief has

"By direction" authority to stop forward progress on any project

when work is not performed per plans, specifications or industry

standards. This may be delegated to the QC Inspectors as

required. QC Chief duties include, but are not limited to:

a. Coordinate and review all QC plans.

b. Coordinate and review all Project

Inspection Plans.

c. Ensure daily inspections are done

professionally and efficiently. Review reports daily and ensure

they are promptly routed, and follow up on any discrepancy,

comment, or other issue noted.

d. Coordinate with the NCR Camp Czar and/or

the Camp Maintenance staff to determine which Maintenance Control

Division (MCD) projects will require CQC oversight. Once an MCD

project has been identified as requiring CQC oversight, all

reporting and monitoring requirements that apply to an assigned

project apply to the MCD project. Forward daily reports to the

Camp Czar and the Camp Maintenance Chief. A Safety plan and QC

plan will be submitted to QC Chief and approved prior to MCD

project commencement. Abbreviated project files are authorized

and will include a QC plan, Safety plan, all daily reports, and

will be kept by the Camp Maintenance staff.

e. Ensure that proper logs and reports are

maintained for all projects.

f. Maintain weekly contact with DET QC

Inspectors and Assistant Officers in Charge (AOIC). Discuss

project quality and inspection methods.

g. Generating QDRs when quality deficiencies

are brought to light.

2. Quality Control Inspectors

a. QC Inspector staff manning will be

consistent with the nature and location of the workload. Ensure

5

that only highly competent Petty Officers with demonstrated

technical expertise are assigned as inspectors. Commands will

appoint each QC Inspector by letter that clearly defines all

authority and responsibilities. The appointment letter is

provided in enclosure (1). Provide copies of the letter to the

ROICC/FEAD and maintain copies on file. Assign QC Inspectors to

specific projects in order to ensure continuity and

accountability. Do not assign duties to QC Inspectors which

detract from their primary responsibility of inspecting project

quality.

b. Construction Inspectors will be trained in

accordance with reference (e) and should be able to identify

deficiencies and make recommendations on material quality,

workmanship, and construction practices. Units may request

additional training for specific tasking through their chain of

command. QC Inspectors will be familiar with the unit QC and

safety program instructions. QC inspectors should also possess

experience to recognize safety violations on project sites and

recommend corrective actions.

c. The QC Inspector’s job is project quality,

not resource scheduling and availability. They report directly

to QC Chief. They are responsible for daily QC inspections,

phase checks, and coordinating any special tests or inspections.

They advise Project Supervisors on construction techniques and

suggest better or more efficient methods if available. They

visually inspect and report on the progress and quality of all

work-in-place. They report and correct all safety violations,

ensure proper material use and conservation, and can assist

Project Supervisors in determining work-in-place for reporting

purposes. If an inspector lacks knowledge about a particular

aspect of the construction, it is solely his/her responsibility

to get assistance from QC Chief, another inspector, the

ROICC/FEAD, or any other qualified source. QC Inspector

responsibilities also include but are not limited to:

d. To be completely familiar with plans,

specifications, and manufacturers recommendations for assigned

projects. Assist Project Supervisors in developing QC plans.

e. Develop a Project Inspection Plan that

details all al QC inspections for the project and provides

quantitative measurement. Specific care will be taken in

plotting critical QC points. The inspection plan will be

developed independently of the QC plan, but will be coordinated

prior to project start to align inspection dates with activity

start dates. The inspection plan will detail objectives for each

project visit regardless of milestones. The inspection plan

format is included as enclosure (2).

6

f. Become familiar with the unit safety

instruction and acquire proper training to identify safety

hazards/violations on projects.

g. Visit all projects daily and submit daily

reports. Proper documentation is a must. Daily reports must

identify all discrepancies and solutions. Reports become the

record and show how quality was measured and confirmed throughout

construction. Without proper documentation all construction

quality is suspect. The daily inspection form is found in

enclosure (3).

h. Discuss job progress and construction

methods with the Company Operations Chiefs, Project Supervisors,

and Crewleaders.

i. Immediately notify QC Chief or Operations

Chief (S3C) if questionable construction or safety practices are

observed.

j. Advise prime and subcontractor companies

in project planning and project file maintenance.

k. Review and coordinate all requests for

information (RFI), field adjustment requests (FAR), excavation

requests, utility outages, road closures, and concrete form

designs for constructability and make initial recommendations.

Ensure all RFI have been FULLY researched prior to submitting to

ROICC/FEAD.

l. Be present during all phase checks and

certified system tests to ensure compliance with plans/specs and

manufacturer recommendations.

m. Brief QC Chief daily on inspections

scheduled, project visits, inspection reports.

n. Route daily inspection reports to

ROICC/FEAD, QC Chief, and the Project Supervisor.

o. Inspect project materials received at the

job site and Material Liaison Office (MLO) to verify that they

meet project specifications.

p. Ensure timely delivery of any prints,

specs, Bill of Material, or any other information to the prime

contractor company.

7

q. Become familiar with local construction

practices used at deployment sites.

r. Maintain copies of all project

correspondence, i.e., FAR, RFI, design change directive (DCD),

utility requests, etc. Ensure all information is current and

correct. Maintain a tickler on all unanswered correspondence.

Ensure all reports and correspondence are properly logged and

filed.

s. Create and maintain a significant events

calendar that will be placed in a conspicuous place to notify all

interested personnel of project milestones (concrete placement,

asphalt work, punch list inspections, beneficial occupancy date

(BODs), ribbon cuttings, etc.)

t. Review project submittals prior to

submission to ROICC/FEAD.

u. Ensure project files and as-built drawings

are updated continuously (at least every two weeks) and are

complete upon project completion. QC Inspectors will draft

closeout letters and submit to the S3 Yeoman for typing. Project

packages will be updated for all turnover projects to provide the

relieving unit with as much information as possible. All

operations and maintenance manuals will be turned over to

ROICC/FEAD after project completion.

3. DET QC Inspectors duties are the same as

noted in paragraph 5.a.(2)(a)2.c. thru u. DET QC Inspectors

shall report to the DET AOIC or QC Chief (as appropriate) for

daily review. DET QC Inspectors shall maintain as close a

liaison as possible with the QC Chief for professional advice and

guidance.

4. Engineering Chief is responsible for, but not

limited to:

a. Maintaining a complete laboratory, with

all required testing equipment, to perform required tests.

Ensure all required calibrations and certifications are up to

date and properly recorded in logs.

b. Performing all scheduled or required tests

per established methods set forth by the specifications and

accepted industry standards.

c. Maintain accurate and complete test

records and promptly deliver results to QC inspectors.

8

d. All surveying, project layout, and

elevations.

e. All drafting, as-built drawings, designs,

and sketches on FARs and RFIs.

f. Maintaining project history files for all

projects completed at the Main Body site. Additionally, the

engineering chief will maintain a list of all projects completed

at DET sites associated with the Main Body site. Additional

details provided in

g. Maintain the unit construction trade

library.

5. Material Testing Personnel

a. There will be a sufficient number of

trained personnel to conduct/coordinate required tests on

concrete, asphalt, soils, and other materials, as required and to

maintain equipment needed to perform these tests.

b. Upon the completion of the project QC

plan, the QC staff will develop an inspection plan incorporating

required testing. This is the time to identify on-site testing

requirements and capabilities. If a required testing capability

is not available within the unit, the Operations Department

should contact other government agencies and coordinate necessary

testing services.

c. During construction, testing personnel

will conduct required tests in accordance with the inspection

plan. All test results will be attached to the QC report for the

date the work was put in place. For example, concrete cylinder

break results at the seven, fourteen, and twenty-eight day point

will be attached to the QC report filled out on the date of the

concrete placement. The QC reports and attached test results

will be signed by both the QC Inspector and Project Supervisor

and two copies forwarded to the ROICC/FEAD. Provide copies of QC

reports and test results to the NCR as requested for review.

After ROICC/FEAD review, the report will be routed through the

project chain of command and remain as part of the project

package. For onsite tests, the designated ROICC/FEAD

representative will be notified in advance to allow the

opportunity to observe the test.

6. Company Commanders/DET OICs assign Project

Supervisors and Crewleaders. They ensure that all planning

documents, including specific QC plans for each project are

complete, publicized, and understood prior to project start for

9

all assigned projects, in homeport or on deployment. He/she will

ensure that experienced people are in charge and that crews have

the necessary skills to complete the project. DET OICs and

Company Commanders will monitor construction quality and efforts

through QC reports and regular project visits. The Company or

DET Chain of Command will take a proactive stance in project

quality and are responsible for:

a. Ensuring that Project Supervisors and

Crewleaders share command concern for safe, high quality

execution of work.

b. Conducting a constructability review for

each assigned project.

c. Reviewing project plans and

specifications, and submitting a report of all errors and

omissions to QC Chief.

d. Reviewing QC plans prior to submittal to

the QC Staff.

e. Making regular project visits to ensure

that the job sites are safe, productive, and that crews are

producing a quality project.

f. Review and validate all FARs and RFIs

prior to submission.

7. Company/DET Operations Chief/Project Chief is

directly responsible to the Company Commander/DET OIC for all QC

matters. These individuals will give added attention to training

Project Supervisors and Crewleaders in developing QC plans and

using the three phases of inspection.

8. Project Supervisors are responsible for the

overall quality and workmanship on his/her job site including

work performed by all subcontractors. A Project Supervisor

typically is responsible for the supervision of two or more

Crewleaders of various ratings engaged in the completion of a

project. Assisted by the QC staff, he/she develops a specific QC

plan for the assigned project. He/she will accompany QC

Inspectors during job site visits and assist in completing daily

reports. Upon completion of the rework make arrangements for re-

inspection. Project Supervisors are also responsible for:

a. Conduct daily QC lectures to review

Definable feature of work (DFOW) or activity QC requirements for

that day.

10

b. Using the preparatory and initial phase

checklist before starting each DFOW.

c. Maintaining a continual job-site presence

to ensure maximum quality and productivity.

d. Maintaining a log for all DCDs, FARs, and

RFIs in the project package, folder 4B.

e. Reviewing the five-folder project package

with the lead QC Inspector upon project completion. Ensure that

all project information required for the project completion

letter is current, accurate and in the file.

f. Inspect and verify work before specific

requested QC inspections occur, i.e., Concrete Placement, stack

tests, etc. Identify all key inspections as milestones on the

project schedule.

g. Research all RFIs prior to submission.

h. Ensure that project crews are familiar

with daily/weekly construction schedules by posting them and/or

discussing during daily project QC meetings.

8. Crewleaders will become familiar with project

plans and specifications and ensure that the proper tools and

equipment are available for the job. A Crewleader typically

supervises a crew of two or more persons generally of the same

rate in the completion of a phase or section of a project.

He/she is responsible to the Project Supervisor to provide the

highest quality workmanship possible from his/her assigned crew.

He/she will keep the Project Supervisor updated on progress,

potential delays or problem areas, required tests, and any and

all changes necessary to the as-built drawings. The Crewleader

will inspect his crew’s work and ensure it meets the required

quality level.

9. Crewmembers will become familiar with project

quality requirements. They will develop a complete understanding

of work methods and question Crewleaders about any activity that

they do not fully understand. The entire CQC Program hinges

around the Crewmember and their ability to perform construction

in accordance with plans, specifications, and accepted

construction practices.

10. Material Expediters: The material expeditor

along with the project supervisor and the QC Inspector will

inspect all material when received by the MLO. These inspections

ensure materials meet all the conditions set forth in the plans

11

and specifications. Further, the material expeditor will re-

inspect at least one month prior to planned use and materials

received months in advance of their intended installation date.

This re-inspection identifies expired shelf life, storage damage,

and usability of material. The Material Testing Personnel will

inspect mineral products upon delivery and reject them when they

do not comply with the project specifications.

b. Quality Control Implementation Guidance

(1) Pre-Construction

(a) Plans and specifications establish construction

standards and accepted construction practices. Because of

varying site conditions, intended purpose, and the life

expectancies of various facilities, construction standards may

vary from project to project. Units will use references

(a) through (d) as the minimum acceptable standards when other

defined standards are absent.

(b) Commands will coordinate with the NCR to receive

plans and specs. NCRs will coordinate with the Public

Works/Design Agent to receive plans and specs approximately 10

months prior to project execution. Project planning should be

done using the final signed version of plans and specs. During

planning process the unit will develop a QC plan which will be

submitted to the QC Staff for approval and incorporation into the

inspection plan.

(c) In cases where materials do not meet

specifications, i.e., Theater Security Cooperation Plan (TSCP)

missions the project leadership will coordinate with the chain of

command and NCR to identify suitable local materials.

(d) FARs and RFIs: Review plans and specifics to

identify conflicts in construction methods and materials. Submit

RFIs and FARs for clarification or adjustment in construction

method. Changes which exceed 50 man-days of additional effort or

$500 in additional cost must be approved by the appropriate NCR

prior to submission to ROICC/FEAD.

(e) Units will develop a QC Plan for each project.

The QC Plan will identify quantifiable QC inspection points for

each activity. Enclosure (5) is a QC checklist. The reference

list in enclosure (10) is provided as a resource to assist the

crew in developing valid inspection criteria.

(f) Inspection Plan: Unit QC staffs will develop a

construction inspection plan for each project specifically tasked

to the unit. The construction inspection plan will identify each

12

item/phase of the project which requires a quality check (i.e.,

phase inspections, material tests, utility tests, etc.), and

highlight critical inspection points. The frequency of required

tests must be shown. The QC staff will prepare inspection plans

per enclosure (2). The QC inspector will prepare the plan with

sufficient detail to identify specific plans and specification

requirements for each phase of work. The QC inspection plan will

be developed using the current project schedule and QC plan.

This is a required submittal to the ROICC/FEAD.

(g) Hold a preconstruction conference with the

ROICC/FEAD or designated representative, public works, customer,

and project QC inspector, to discuss the scope of the project,

construction schedule, utility requirements, the QC plan, and any

other items which may affect construction. Maintain regular

contact with the ROICC/FEAD representative throughout the life of

each construction project until it is totally completed.

(2) Project Execution:

(a) QC will be accomplished utilizing the three

phases of inspections; preparatory, initial, and follow-up.

These inspections are based on definable features of work (DFOW).

DFOW is defined as a task that is separate and distinct from

other tasks and requires separate QC requirements. A DFOW is

identified by different trades or disciplines and is an item or

activity on the construction schedule. Each specification

section could be considered a definable feature of work, but,

there frequently is more than one definable feature of work under

a particular section. A Construction Activity may be a DFOW,

depending on the activities scope, quantity of work, skill

intensity and/or resulting quality required for its completion.

The three phases of inspection are defined as follows:

(b) Preparatory Phase. Prior to starting the project

and before the start of each DFOW the Project Supervisor will

hold a QC preparatory phase meeting. This meeting will include

all pertinent Crewleaders, QC staff, Project Manager, and

FEAD/ROICC representative. The purpose of this meeting is to

inform all personnel involved with the activities of the QC

requirements. The meeting will also address all submittals,

materials, tools, and equipment needed to accomplish the

activities. These items should correlate directly with the

project QC plan and applicable areas in the specifications.

Enclosure (6) is the Preparatory Phase checklist.

(c) Initial Phase. When construction starts on an

activity, the QC Inspector and Project Supervisor will monitor

the initial material installation to validate adherence to the

plans ands specifications as agreed upon during the Predatory

13

Phase meeting. Any discrepancies in workmanship will be

corrected immediately. Enclosure (7) is the Initial Phase

checklist.

(d) Follow up Phase. The Project Supervisor, QC

Inspector, and chain of command will conduct continual

inspections of the activities in progress. The QC Inspector will

conduct daily checks during this phase and annotate findings on

the daily QC reports, shown in enclosure (8). This will ensure

that all work is done in accordance with the drawings and

specifications. QC Inspector will submit the report to the

Operations Officer or Detail OIC via the chain of command for

final review, approval, and/or continuing action, as appropriate.

QC will route a copy of the daily QC inspection report to the

ROICC and the prime contractor company commander.

(e) NCF units are required to make submittals for

materials and construction methods used in the execution of

projects. Submittals will be generated and provided to the

FEAD/ROICC/Design Agent as identified in enclosure (4).

(f) Operations Department personnel will review the

original QC report daily. Provide a copy of each report to the

ROICC/FEAD on the first working day following the period covered

by the report. When discrepancies are noted in the report,

immediately initiate action to correct the discrepancy. Note

corrective actions taken on the QC report for the day during

which corrective measures were taken. In addition, note the

corrective actions taken and the date the actions were completed

on the QC report which initially noted the discrepancy. Make

copies of all inspection reports and test results a permanent

part of the project records.

(g) Quality Deficiency Reports will be generated when

work in place fails to meet acceptable standards as set forth in

the plan, specifications, references (a) through (d), and

accepted industry standards. Un-reported, un-documented, or

otherwise hidden quality defects found during follow-up

inspections and/or turnovers may result in disciplinary action.

Enclosure (12) is the form for the QDR. The following limits are

established for the submission of QDRs.

1. Quality deficiencies or rework up to $2,500

are at the Commanding Officers discretion as to whether or not a

QDR is submitted to the chain of command.

2. QDRs identifying poor quality or rework in

excess of 50 mandays or between $2,500 and $5,000 in material

costs require the QDR to be forwarded to the operational

regimental commander for review and disposition. The

14

circumstances surrounding the QDR may require a Judge Advocate

General (JAG) investigation to determine the facts.

3. QDRs identifying rework in excess of 100

mandays or $5,000 in material costs require a JAG investigation

to determine the facts. The results of the JAG will be forward

to the division Commander for review and disposition.

(h) Conduct the final inspection of a completed

facility with the ROICC/FEAD and correct any discrepancies.

After all discrepancies are corrected and inspected during the

acceptance inspection, forward a completion letter to the

ROICC/FEAD along with a set of "as built" drawings, all

manufacturer's literature, copies of Design Change Directives

(DCDs) or change orders, operations and maintenance instructions,

or other correspondence requested by the ROICC/FEAD. Enclosure

(13) is a sample completion letter.

(i). Forward a copy of all project completion

letters to the appropriate regiment and COMFIRSTNCD.

(j). Maintain completed project packages at main

body and detachment sites for a period of three years to include

a one year warranty period. At the end of the three year period

forward a disposition request (Enclosure 13)to the operational

regiment for guidance on disposal.
