Project Manager (PM)
The Project Manager has the authority and responsibility to enforce the provisions of the
contract. The PM’s Quality Control Compliance Specialist (QCCS) is involved with the project
QA activities and is experienced and certified in all areas of field testing and documentation.
The QCCS is required to maintain certification in CAgt, CEBT, CAT 1, CDT and QCT.
Certification in CAT II, CCT and CMDT are recommended.
The Project Manager is responsible to ensure that:
 The project meets the requirements specified in the plans and specifications.
 All required tests are performed, documented, and submitted. The PM is also responsible
for informing the QAC of project schedules, current quantities, and anticipated sampling
requirements so verification testing can be accomplished.
 The contractor’s QC program meets required standards. This is accomplished by
performing inspections of contractor’s personnel, testing procedures, and testing
equipment.
 The contractor and Region Quality Assurance Laboratory is notified in writing within 5
working days of an IA/Verification sample’s completion, as to which backup samples
may be discarded or that an investigation is in progress. Upon the completion of an
investigation inform the contractor, in writing, as to which backup samples may be
discarded. Written notification will identify the Lot/Sublots, include the IA test results
and if required the resolution of an IA investigation.
