BSK Proposal No. GP07-149 June 29, 2007 Page 2 When observations or field/laboratory test results indicate that material or work in progress do not conform to the requirements of the approved contract drawings or specifications, BSK will inform the Contractor of the defect. If deemed necessary, our staff will contact the Construction Manager, Architect or Structural Engineer for clarification on the deficiency. ANon-Conformance Report (NCR) may be initiated by the Technician or Inspector. The Senior Technician or Inspector will maintain a log of NCR's and their resolutions. This will aid inproviding an up-to-the-minute "punch lists" as the work progresses. Material samples secured from or delivered to the project site will be clearly identified to establish traceability and integrity of the sample. Material samples shall be tagged with securely attached labels indicating the sample type and description, sample source and location, required testing or analysis, date sampled and the name of the person securing the sample. Material will be identified through mill test reports, or other means of certification, as appropriate. It has been our experience that following these procedures allows for constant communications among all parties. It also allows discovery and correction of potential problems before they become real problems. It enhances project continuity by keeping the same people on-site. Moreover, it provides the most economical solution to your Quality Assurance needs. 2.
