Key aspects of the QC plan include the following EXCEPT which item?

• A. Documentation of conforming work, determination of preventive action necessary and follow-up on its performance.
• B. Maintenance of all quality related documentation including test reports, certificates of compliance, etc.
• C. Performance of all field testing not included in the Contractor's scope of work.
• D. Assignment of experienced, knowledgeable inspection personnel to the job.

Answer: (C)

Quality control plans in construction specify how quality will be verified and documented on the project, including how conforming work is recorded, preventive actions are determined and tracked, and how follow-up is handled. They also emphasize keeping all quality-related documentation and ensuring that inspection personnel are experienced and qualified. The statement about performing field testing that isn’t within the Contractor’s scope isn’t part of the plan because testing outside the contractor’s defined responsibilities is handled by the client, a separate entity, or as specified in the contract. In other words, a QC plan focuses on the contractor’s controlled processes, documentation, and staffing to ensure quality, not on conducting tests that lie outside the contractor’s contractual duties.
