1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Construction Quality Assurance Plan (CQA Plan) governs the Construction Quality
Assurance services for the rehabilitation and miscellaneous repairs for potable water storage
reservoir 1-ES1-3. The reservoir is owned and operated by the City of Phoenix Water Services
Department (Owner), and is located at 6307 East Thomas Road, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85251. Due
to the construction of the existing reservoir, it is considered a dam by the Arizona Department of
Water Resources (ADWR) and is governed by ADWR regulations.
1.1 PLAN PURPOSE
The purpose of this plan is to provide a project-specific technical guide to the dam Owner and its
representatives to ensure a safe, quality project. The purpose of the plan is to also obtain sufficient
documentation during the construction process to verify conformance with the approved drawings
and specifications. The Arizona Department of Water Resources, Office of Water Engineering,
Dam Safety Section, operating within its goal of achieving safe dams in Arizona, has prepared a
template CQA Plan, which was used to develop this project-specific CQA Plan.
1.2 ASSIGNMENTS
The following individuals and/or companies shall fill the roles described in this CQA Plan:

2.0 SCOPE
This plan addresses the quality control and assurance of the construction work associated with this
project. Assurance in the quality expected on this project and conformance with approved
drawings and specifications relies upon the execution of this plan, particularly the field monitoring
and documentation of the construction activities. This CQA Plan therefore outlines in detail the
CQA procedures that must be adhered to in conjunction with the project contract, drawings, and
specifications. The construction activities requiring CQA procedures in this document include:
Meetings.
Site Visits and Observations.
Liner Installation.
Concrete Repairs.
Structural Steel Repairs.
Standing Seam Roofing System Replacement.
Installation of Mixers.
Electrical Improvements.
Site Improvements.
Any conflict between the requirements of this document and the approved drawings and
specifications shall be reported to the Engineer, for clarification or adjudication, as required. In
general, however, the requirements of the specifications shall prevail.
2.1 DEFINITION OF QUALITY CONTROL VERSUS QUALITY ASSURANCE
There is often confusion between the definition of quality control and quality assurance. This
document refers to the provision of quality control and quality assurance for various components
of the project:
2.1.1 Quality Control
Quality Control refers to those actions, including observations and testing of materials and in-place
work, taken by the Contractor for his assurance that the final work offered to the Owner is in
compliance with the project drawings and specifications. During each aspect of the construction,
quality control is provided by the manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, and installer of materials. The
results of a quality control program are documented and compared to the drawings and
specifications or other contractual or regulatory requirements to assess the quality of the in-place

CONCRETE RESERVOIR REHABILITATION PROGRAM 64th Street. Reservoir No. 3 (1-ES1-3) Rehabilitation Project COP Project No.: WS85050050-1
work and to ensure that the final materials and workmanship conform to the drawing and
specifications. Quality Control responsibility is retained by the Contractor who has the direct
control over quality of materials, qualifications of personnel, including specialized experience or
expertise, type and quantity of equipment, scheduling, sequencing, and workmanship that all factor
into the quality of the finished project.
2.1.2 Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance refers to those actions, including observations and testing of materials and in-
place work, taken by the Owner for its assurance that the final work provided by the Contractor is
in compliance with the project drawings and specifications. Quality assurance is a planned and
systematic pattern of observations and testing which when documented and compared to the
drawings and specifications provides adequate confidence that the in-place work conforms to the
drawings and specifications, and any applicable regulatory requirements. The Owner uses Quality
Assurance documentation as final acceptance of the work provided by the Contractor. Quality
Assurance is provided by the Owner and its designated representatives, who typically include an
independent consulting engineering, or construction management firm, along with independent
testing laboratories. Quality assurance is important during all phases of the construction project
and is often applied to the preparation for and installation of all materials, including reinforced
concrete, grout, geosynthetics, piping, sand and gravels, and the placement and compaction of
earth and rock fill materials.

attended by the CQA personnel and the Contractor. If necessary, the ADWR project manager may
also attend. The purpose of these meetings is to identify a problem or deficiency in the construction
work, review alternative solutions, and select and implement a plan to resolve the problem or
deficiency. The CQA Director will record and distribute minutes of the meeting.

resolved on a timely basis, and to review personally the progress and methodology of the
Contractor and Subcontractors to assure work is being performed in compliance with the approved
drawings and specifications. The schedule of these site visits will be determined by project
progress. They will include critical aspects of work and milestone progress marks and at the
completion of the work. ADWR shall be notified 48 hours in advance of each milestone and site
visit, so as to provide ample opportunity for an ADWR representative to observe the construction
activities, and to review inspection reports and as-built drawings being maintained by the
Contractor.
In addition, the CQA Engineer of Record (Office Engineer) and the CQA Engineer will make
additional specific site visits in order to review the progress and any aspects of the project that are
particularly critical to the performance of the system or when a problem arises which cannot be
easily resolved or which impacts the safe design of the dam.
Site visits that take place in the construction area require the use of safety equipment, including
hard hats, vests, and steel-toe boots. All parties involved in the site visit shall check in at the
Contractor’s field trailer to obtain an identification badge prior to entering the site.
