many construction procedures and materials that cannot be confirmed as adequate. Visual
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
observation alone is ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
determine whether construction procedures and materials are producing the desired ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
contractual product. ||\\//||
Procedures - correct answer✔✔The contractor must outline proposed "testing procedures" ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
as defined in Section 01 45 00.00 10 and/or Section 01 45 00.00 20 in the QC Plan. These

the tests are to be performed by an independent, approved testing laboratory, or

assure that specified laboratory procedures are used and that laboratory facilities
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
are certified. ||\\//||
QA tests - correct answer✔✔are unannounced sporadic tests that repeat QC tests. QA
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
testing can be performed ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
by: ||\\//||
• Government personnel using the contractor's equipment and facilities,
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
