Scope of Work
SCL performs and reports on selected audits and surveillance services of design and construction projects within the Sound Transit Capital Projects Program to ensure the design consultants and contractors meet the requirements of their contract with Sound Transit and of their Design or Construction QMP elements. Our team reviews the design consultant’s Design Quality Management Plan (QMP) and the contractor’s Construction QMP for compliance with Sound Transit requirements as detailed in the QAPP, DQP, CQP, and related Agency documentation and provide the consulting team with specific revision recommendations.
Our team performs and reports on assigned QA oversight activities, including design reviews, audits and surveillances of the software field installation and testing of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, Building Management System, and Train Control System communications system equipment.
The purpose of the QA design reviews audits and surveillances is to determine the systems design consultant’s and construction contractor’s level of compliance and acceptability for the implementation for the applicable contract document requirements, and for the quality and implementation of their respective QMPs.
