COUNTY’S QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN The County or its agent will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this Contract on not less than an annual basis. Such evaluation will include assessing the Contractor’s compliance with all Contract terms and conditions and performance standards. Contractor deficiencies which the County determines are severe or continuing and that may place performance of the Contract in jeopardy if not corrected will be reported to the Board of Supervisors. The report will include improvement/corrective action measures taken by the County and the Contractor. If improvement does not occur consistent with the corrective action measures, the County may terminate this Contract or impose other penalties as specified in this Contract.
Quality Assurance The parties endorse the underlying principles of the Company’s Quality Management System, which seeks to ensure that its services are provided in a manner which best conforms to the requirements of the contract with its customer. This requires the Company to establish and maintain, implement, train and continuously improve its procedures and processes, and the employees to follow the procedures, document their compliance and participate in the improvement process. In particular, this will require employees to regularly and reliably fill out documentation and checklists to signify that work has been carried out in accordance with the customer’s specific requirements. Where necessary, training will be provided in these activities.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Contractor shall establish and maintain a quality assurance/quality control program which shall include procedures for continuous control of all construction and comprehensive inspection and testing of all items of Work, including any Work performed by Subcontractors, so as to ensure complete conformance to the Contract with respect to materials, workmanship, construction, finish, functional performance, and identification. The program established by Contractor shall comply with any quality assurance/quality control requirements incorporated in the Contract.
CONTRACTOR RESOURCES Contractor shall obtain approval in advance by the State, in consultation with the Agency, of all employees, independent contractors or agents proposed for each SOW-RFP Project (“Key Personnel”). Key Personnel shall be identified in each SOW Agreement. Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to make available all Key Personnel for the entire life of the SOW RFP Project. Contractor shall not change Key Personnel without providing the State written justification and obtaining prior written approval of the State. State approvals for replacement of Key Personnel will not be unreasonably withheld. The replacement of Key Personnel shall have comparable or greater skills and applied experience than being replaced and be subject to reference and background checks described above. If Contractor removes Key Personnel for any reason, Contractor agrees to provide replacement Key Personnel and shall provide the first thirty (30) days of such replacement resource(s) with equivalent skill at no charge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the State acknowledges that Key Personnel may become unavailable due to termination of employment for any reason, through disability or death, illness, or through leave of absence such as FMLA or National Guard duty for example. In such circumstances, Contractor shall promptly notify the State in writing of the impending or actual departure of any Key Personnel and of the qualifications and identity of proposed replacement Key Personnel. The State has the right to reasonably disapprove of any replacement Key Personnel. If Key Personnel does not perform up to acceptable or professional standards as required in this Master Agreement or the SOW Agreement, Contractor shall, when notified by the State, either replace the employees, independent contractors or agents with approved employees, independent contractors or agents or take remedial action agreed by State to ensure that Contractor Resources are acceptable to the State for the SOW Agreement. The State’s right to request replacement of Contractor personnel hereunder relates solely to the removal of individuals from work on this Master Agreement and/or the particular SOW Agreement and does not create any employment or principal- agent relationship with the State. Nothing in this Master Agreement or any SOW Agreement entered into hereunder authorizes the State to direct the Contractor’s termination of, or other adverse action related to, the employment of any individual.
