Quality Management (QM) is a pro-active and efficient method of incorporating quality into the planning and scheduling of all project activities. The contractor works together with the engineer to develop a quality management plan that ensures the quality of materials and workmanship meets or exceeds the contract requirements. This comprehensive plan is dynamic and is specific to the project.

Main Page 2 June 6, 2014.jpg

The contractor assumes the primary role of managing quality and performs the quality control inspection and testing. This role includes documenting all inspection and testing, as well as material receiving. The engineer provides quality assurance to verify the contractor is providing adequate quality management per the contract requirements.

Pre-activity meetings are held before the start of each new activity to discuss the work plan for that activity, including any required inspection and testing. Hold points are established at specific stages for the engineer to review the inspection and testing for compliance before the work can proceed. The contractor provides a schedule each week that identifies the activities planned for the next two weeks, including anticipated hold points.

Good quality management saves time and money. The inclusion of quality in the contractor’s planning process reduces the likelihood for re-work. Giving the contractor the primary role for inspection and testing eliminates duplication of quality control and opens up more opportunities for efficiencies.

Basic steps in the QM process:

  • A base Inspection and Test plan (ITP) is provided by MoDOT. The base ITP, which includes a complete list of work items, is reduced by the contractor to only include the work items needed for the project. Additions to the ITP may be necessary for any unique items or Job Special Provisions requirements.
  • Contractor prepares and submits a draft Quality Management Plan (QMP) to the Resident Engineer at least two weeks prior to the pre-construction conference. A sample plan is available.
  • Resident Engineer reviews the draft QMP provides feedback to the contractor on any additions or changes. A meeting may be necessary to review details.
  • The approved QMP is used to guide the contractor QC staff in their Quality Management duties.
  • To store project QC documents, the contractor utilizes a MoDOT-provided SharePoint site.
  • The contractor provides all Quality Control, in accordance with the Quality Management Job Special Provision and the QMP. MoDOT conducts Quality Assurance to verify the performance and accuracy of QC.
  • All necessary QC documentation must be uploaded to the file sharing site for the work performed each pay period in order for the engineer to process payment.
  • Modifications to the Quality Management Plan may be necessary as the work progresses.
  • A review is necessary at project closeout to verify that all required documentation is present.

150.1 Project Documentation

This article provides details on the Document Control Procedure requirements for producing and uploading Quality Management documents to a MoDOT-provided storage site. MoDOT utilizes Microsoft SharePoint® for management of these documents; however, contractors do not need to purchase this software to upload documents. Users who are not familiar with Microsoft SharePoint® might find it beneficial to acquire some basic training to better understand some of the many features of this software. MoDOT does not provide training, but there are several online venders who do. Contractors are required to use Microsoft Excel® and Microsoft Word® with some documents. To set up an account in MoDOT’s SharePoint site, send a request to CMQMSupport@modot.mo.gov.

150.1.1 Folder Structure

MoDOT will set up each project folder with the standard file structure for organizing the contractor Quality Management documents. The folders and subfolders should not be altered or renamed, however, additional folders/subfolders may be added as deemed necessary with approval by the resident engineer or inspector, provided the addition does not exceed the maximum URL amount of 255 characters. This standard folder structure is necessary to facilitate file searches and develop consistency.

150.1.2 File Naming Convention

This article describes the required file naming convention for all contractor Quality Management documents uploaded to the MoDOT SharePoint site. Each file shall begin with the following: ContractNo_JobNo_Date, unless otherwise specified. For example: 140221-B01_J3P0001C_YYYYMMDD. This consistent file naming practice facilitates file searches and prevents overwriting of existing files if the user has inadvertently navigated to the wrong folder. The date format (YYYYMMDD ) ensures the files remain in chronological order. When multiple reports of the same file type are created in the same day, add a two digit number to the end of the file name to differentiate (_01, _02, etc.) For example: 140221-B01_J3P0001C_20140608_Traffic_Control_Inspection_Report_01. All file name lengths are limited to 75 characters maximum.

Use an underscore ("_") in place of a space between words if file names have more than one word. Capitalize each word of the file name. For example: My_File_Name.docx. The use of hyphens or dashes to separate words should be avoided.

Any documentation not listed in this article should follow the established naming convention, with the addition of file descriptions. For example: 140221-B01_J3P0001C_20140328_glassbeadcert.pdf. The file description should be long enough to identify the content, yet remain within the 75 character limit.

Following is additional detail on how to organize the QM documents in each of the folders:

This folder is optional, but can be used to distribute the project Land Disturbance Inspection Records to the contractor. The MoDOT inspector is responsible for performing the land disturbance inspection, recording the information on the form, and distributing the form to the contractor.
