APPROACH/METHODOLOGY TAB By making quality assurance the responsibility of each member of our project staff, West ensures it is an integral part of every step of the process, from initial plan review to project closeout. West's program for the City of Sunny Isles Beach project will be a project-specific document con- taining four phases: verifying accuracy, ensuring quality, correcting non-complying work, prevent- ing deficiencies. The following is an overview of our approach to quality control and how each indi- vidual plays a part. Verify Accuracy Our process will include, trade contractor scope review, shop drawing review; pre-installation meet- ings, and post-installation acceptance criteria review. These decisions determine whether items meet the defined standard or if additional work is necessary for compliance with these requirements. The Project Manager is responsible for maintaining all current drawings and specifications. Revised contract drawings, sketches issued through the architect and answers to RFI's are examples of docu- ments inserted into the field and record sets to insure we are working withlthe most recent informa- tion. The Project Manager is also responsible for providing the superintendent with the latest revi- sions of approved shop drawings and seeing to it that unapproved shop drawings are not used in the field. All superseded documents are marked void within the set and left there. Ensuring Quality It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to ensure that, prior to placing any purchase order, the proposed materials and equipment meet or exceed the requirements of the design concept and the contract documents. Any proposed deviation must be approved by the City prior to placing the or- der. The Project Manager and Superintendent will review all submittals for compliance with contract documents. If they don't comply, they are returned to the vendor. The Project Manager will ensure the submittal is checked for completeness to facilitate the reviewer's task. Identify & Correct It is the responsibility of the Project Manager and the project staff to review the construction work for conformance with the contract documents, applicable codes, constructability and coordination issues. West performs all work to the highest standard. Should any work be deemed as non- complying we will find the root of the issue, solve the problem and see that the issue does not reoc- cur. Preventing Deficiencies In prevention there is no substitute for experience. West Superintendents have extensive back- grounds in supervising excavation, site work, concrete, masonry and carpentry. They also have years of experience supervising and coordinating the installation of MEP systems and all building finishes. Their knowledge and qualifications allows the ability to thwart possible!issues. The project team makes regular tours to observe work in progress, identify deficiencies and'prevent them from recur- ring. Checklists are regularly used as input for preventing errors, monitor the specific results to de- termine if they comply with our established standards, reducing unsatisfactory results.
