1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose & Scope This document describes the processes utilized by Stillwater Utility Authority (SUA) to control and improve the
quality of services and deliverables for the Stillwater Energy Center (SEC).
1.2 Quality Policy Contractors will strive to provide services which satisfy all contractual and regulatory requirements, with an
additional focus on internal and external customer expectations.
All contractors are expected to perform their responsibilities in accordance with the applicable quality
requirements, and to strive for customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. Maintaining high degrees of
quality, integrity, and responsiveness are core values at SUA.
1.3 Quality Objectives All quality verifications, inspections, and reporting are intended to verify compliance with Quality standards. The
processes described in the SEC Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management Quality Plan will also
result in identifying where quality is not being achieved on isolated and repetitive tasks. Repetitive issues require
a heightened vigilance with training, greater management, improved execution, and verification of the work
specific to the recurring issue. Quality, integrity, and personal accountability are core values at SUA.

3.7 Non-Conformance Control
3.7.1 Definition Non-conformances (NCRs) are defined as items or conditions that are not in compliance with designated
requirements, instructions, or specifications.
3.7.2 Identification Non-conformances may be identified by any party, including SUA, Suppliers, and Contractors.
3.7.3 Documented All non-conformances are to be documented and tracked to verify they are resolved in an acceptable manner. The
method of documentation varies depending on the type of non-conformance, the point at which it was detected,
and the method that was used to detect it.
Items or conditions deemed to be serious, critical, and/or major non-conformances shall be documented via a
formal Non-conformance Report. Examples that fall into this category would include the following:
1. A failure to plan or fully implement the proper quality control activities for a particular item.
2. Identification of completed work that is not in accordance with specification requirements.
3. Multiple or chronic minor non-conformances of the same type that continue to occur over a period of
time. This represents a failure in the quality control system, or implementation of the system, to carry
out corrective action in a timely manner.
4. A Non-conformance that may adversely impact safety or operability unless repaired by a controlled
process that has not been previously approved.
Quality Plan for Construction
SEC EPCM Quality Plan 3-8 11/20/2014
3.7.4 Identification Materials and work products found to be out of compliance will be identified and may not be used for operation
or subsequent work activities until the Non-conformance has been resolved.
Processes or testing activities found to be out of compliance will be identified and will not be considered as
acceptable until the Non-conformance has been resolved.
3.7.5 Disposition Non-conformances will be evaluated by a responsible party to determine the most appropriate response or follow-
up. This would generally fall into one of the following categories:
1. Non-conformance can be accepted in the current condition.
2. Non-conformance will require some re-work or corrective action although the final product or process
will still not be fully compliant with the specification requirements.
3. Non-conformance will require some re-work or corrective action in order to bring the final product or
process into full compliance with the specification requirements.
4. Non-conformance can or will not be accepted and the product or process will need to be replaced.
The proposed disposition and associated corrective action, if required, should generally be suggested by the
supplier or Contractor responsible for the work.
A disposition to accept a Non-conformance in that it is not fully in accordance with the specification requirements
must be approved by an authorized representative of SUA.
3.7.6 Acceptance A disposition to accept a Non-conformance that is not fully in accordance with the specification requirements
must be approved by an authorized representative of SUA.
A disposition that requires re-work or corrective action will be verified by the appropriate inspection, testing, or
document review method prior to being accepted.
3.8 Corrective and Preventative Action Resident Project Representative will review and monitor NCR’s and quality reports on a regular basis to identify
trends that require corrective and/or preventative action. NCR’s are Key Performance Indicators on how well
Contractors are adhering to Quality Requirements within the Contract Specifications and this quality plan.

4.2.3 When multiple contractors are responsible for a given work activity, a separate
Preparatory Meeting will be held with each contractor. 4.2.4 When a given contractor is responsible for multiple work activities, the Preparatory
Meeting may include more than one work activity. 4.2.5 For work activities with multiple phases, a separate Preparatory Meeting is not
necessarily required for each phase. For example, only one Preparatory Meeting would typically be held with a contractor responsible for Excavating although their scope may include several areas over the course of the project. However, a follow-up meeting may be warranted if there are extended periods between phases or if problems are identified during inspections of the contractor’s work.
4.3 Initial Inspections
4.3.1 Stillwater Utilities Authority will perform a thorough inspection of the initial construction work performed by each contractor for each work activity. The purpose of this inspection is to verify that the contractor is capable of performing the work in accordance with the project specifications. The initial inspection will include the following:
• Verify any action items identified during the Preparatory Meeting were resolved.
• Fully inspect the initial work performed by contractor to verify that it is in accordance
with the requirements specified in the contract documents.

• Verify that the contractor is implementing their quality control procedures at the jobsite.
• Prepare a Master Punch-list documenting the specific activities performed during the
Initial Inspection and identify any items of nonconformance or other action items for follow-up and resolution.
4.4 Follow-up Inspections
4.4.1 Stillwater Utilities Authority will perform Follow-up Inspections of the contractor’s work on a random but regular basis starting immediately after the Initial Inspection and through the completion of the work activity. The frequency and extent of Follow-up Inspections will be based on the scope of work, contractor performance, and associated risk to the project. The Follow-up Inspections will include the following activities:
Verify that any Nonconformancies or action items identified during the Initial
Inspection or a previous Follow-up Inspection have been resolved. Work should not be proceeding where Nonconformancies have been identified but have not been resolved, unless an approved work-around plan is in place. Follow Construction Site Quality Manual 7.0. Use CF-002 forms.
Inspect a representative sample of work performed by the contractor since the Initial
Inspection or previous Follow-up Inspection to verify that it is in accordance with the requirements specified in the contract documents.
Verify that the contractor is implementing their quality control procedures at the
jobsite. Prepare a Master Punch-list documenting the specific activities performed during
each Follow-up Inspection and identify any items of nonconformance or other action items for follow-up and resolution.
4.5 Final Inspection
4.5.1 Stillwater Utilities Authority will perform a Final Inspection at or near the completion of the pre-placement activities. The Final Inspection will include the following items:
Perform a final inspection of any work performed by the contractor that was not
previously inspected during the Initial and Follow-up Inspections but would be prudent to assure the final quality of the work. Verify that all work is in compliance with the specifications and most current drawing revision at the time of final inspection.
Prepare a Master Punch-list documenting the specific activities performed during
each Final Inspection and develop a punch list of all items that were found to be incomplete or not in compliance with the contract documents, referenced specifications, and the latest drawing revision at the time of the inspection. This would include any outstanding items of nonconformance or action items identified during previous Preparatory Meetings, Initial Inspections, and Follow-up Inspections for the particular work activity.

4.1.7 All quality verification activities will be performed by personnel that have the necessary
skills, training, and certifications for the particular task.
4.2 Preparatory Meetings
4.2.1 Preparatory meetings are held with contractors prior to the start of construction for specified work activities in order to verify the following: • Verify that the contractor fully understands the job specification requirements. • Review the contractor’s quality control program and how it will be implemented for
the work activity.
Stillwater Utilities Authority Construction Quality Verification Procedure
QVP No. 5.01 – Pre-Hydro – Hydro – Post Hydro Inspection Activities Rev RICE
Uncontrolled Copy Page 4 of 6
• Verify that all required documentation has been reviewed or approved and that the
contractor has the most current versions. • Review requirements for permits and/or authorizations that will be required during
the course of construction. • Review the quality verification activities that Stillwater Utilities Authority plans to
perform and coordinate the necessary notifications from the contractor for any hold or witness points.
4.2.2 The following work activities require a Preparatory Meeting prior to starting construction.
• Inspection and testing Requirements • Hydro Inspection Test Plan and Procedures • Pre-Hydro – Hydro – Post-Hydro – Final Acceptance Walk-down procedure • Turn-Over Package Content and Formatting Requirements and procedures. See
Construction Site Quality Manual section 6.0.
4.2.3 When multiple contractors are responsible for a given work activity, a separate Preparatory Meeting will be held with each contractor.
4.2.4 When a given contractor is responsible for multiple work activities, the Preparatory
Meeting may include more than one work activity. 4.2.5 For work activities with multiple phases or occurrences, a separate Preparatory Meeting
is not necessarily required for each phase. For example, only one Preparatory Meeting would typically be held with a contractor responsible for Hydro-testing although their scope may include several Hydro-tests over the course of the project. However, a follow-up meeting may be warranted if there are extended periods between phases or if problems are identified during inspections of the contractor’s work.
4.3 Initial Inspections
4.3.1 Stillwater Utilities Authority will perform a thorough inspection of the initial construction work performed by each contractor for each work activity. The purpose of this inspection is to verify that the contractor is capable of performing the work in accordance with the project specifications. The initial inspection will include the following:
• Verify any action items identified during the Preparatory Meeting were resolved.
• Fully inspect the initial work performed by contractor to verify that it is in accordance
with the requirements specified in the contract documents.
• Verify that the contractor is implementing their quality control procedures at the jobsite.
Stillwater Utilities Authority Construction Quality Verification Procedure
QVP No. 5.01 – Pre-Hydro – Hydro – Post Hydro Inspection Activities Rev RICE
Uncontrolled Copy Page 5 of 6
• Prepare a Master Punch-list documenting the specific activities performed during the Initial Inspection and identify any items of nonconformance or other action items for follow-up and resolution.
4.4 Follow-up Inspections
4.4.1 Stillwater Utilities Authority will continually monitor the placement activities through completion. The Follow-up Inspections will include the following activities:
• Verify that piping is being placed in accordance with the requirements specified in
the contract documents.
• Verify that the contractor is implementing their quality control procedures during this activity.
• Verify that any Nonconformancies or action items identified during placement are
quickly resolved. Work should not be proceeding where Nonconformancies have been identified but have not been resolved, unless an approved work-around plan is in place. Follow Construction Site Quality Manual 7.0. Use CF-002 forms.
• Prepare a Master Punch-list documenting the specific activities performed during
each Follow-up Inspection and identify any items of nonconformance or other action items for follow-up and resolution.
4.5 Final Inspection
4.5.1 Stillwater Utilities Authority will perform a Final Inspection at or near the completion of the placement activities. The Final Inspection will include the following items:
• Perform a final inspection of any work performed by the contractor that was not
previously inspected during the Initial and Follow-up Inspections but would be prudent to assure the final quality of the work. Verify that all work is in compliance with the specifications and most current drawing revision at the time of final inspection.
• Prepare a Master Punch-list documenting the specific activities performed during
each Final Inspection and develop a punch list of all items that were found to be incomplete or not in compliance with the contract documents, referenced specifications, and the latest drawing revision at the time of the inspection. This would include any outstanding items of nonconformance or action items identified during previous Preparatory Meetings, Initial Inspections, and Follow-up Inspections for the particular work activity.
• Specify the estimated date for which each item on the punch list should be
completed or corrected to be in compliance. CF-009
• Perform follow-up activities to verify that each item on the punch list is completed and/or corrected and is acceptable.

4.1.2 Boiler External Piping (BEP) systems in which Section I of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code has administrative control. BEP is considered as that piping which begins at power boiler terminal points and extends up to and includes the valve or valves required by ASME Section I. The boiler terminal points are: the first circumferential joint for welding end connections; the face of the first flange in bolted flanged connections, or; the first threaded joint in that type of connection. All other piping within the scope of this standard is defined as non-boiler external piping.
4.1.3 Process Piping refers to a variety of piping systems found in petroleum
refineries, chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants, and related processing plants and terminals. There are four (4) classifications of process piping; high pressure piping; category M fluid service; category D fluid service, and; normal fluid service.
4.1.3.1 A piping system is classified as a High Pressure Piping
System when design or operating pressures exceed the pressure limits of a class 2,500 ANSI flange at the intended operating temperature.
4.1.3.2 A piping system is classified as a Category M Process Piping
System when the medium is toxic or hazardous, and when the potential for personal exposure is judged to be significant and exposure to a small amount of media caused by leakage can produce serious irreversible harm to persons on breathing or bodily contact, even when prompt restorative measures are taken.
4.1.3.3 A piping system is classified as a Category D Process Piping
System when all of the following apply:
4.1.3.3.1 The fluid handled by the system is nontoxic and not damaging to human tissue;
4.1.3.3.2 The design gage pressure between 15 and 150 psi,
and;
4.1.3.3.3 The design operating temperature range of the piping system is between –20°F and 366°F.
4.1.3.4 Process piping systems not subject to the rules of .1, .2 and .3
above are classified as Normal Fluid Service Process Piping Systems (e.g., the base code piping systems).
4.1.3.5 An additional term that may apply to process piping systems is
Severe Cycle Conditions. The owner is responsible for identifying severe cyclic conditions, where it applies and the specific manufacturing, installation, inspection and testing requirements.

Page 6 of 16
4.7.1 Contaminants detrimental to stainless steel and nickel alloys include: carbon, iron, scale, rust, carbonaceous halogenated and sulfur bearing chemicals and other residual chemical films. One of the most troublesome types of contaminants is surface contamination by copper, bronze, lead or zinc from hammers, clamps, tools and galvanized or coated work surfaces. Small amounts of these materials on the surface of stainless steel can lead to cracking in the high-temperature heat affected zone of a weld.
4.7.2 To prevent carbon and iron impregnation, stainless and nickel alloy
materials should be handled with nylon web slings instead of metal chains or forks. They should be stored indoors whenever practical. Stainless steels subject to extended outdoor storage should be covered for protection against winter road salts. Coverings, when used, should be polyethylene, nylon or TFE-fluorocarbon plastics. Canvas and polyvinylchloride plastics shall not be used as they form detrimental corrosive substances upon decomposition.
4.7.3 Stainless steel materials should not be allowed to come in contact with
carbon or other low alloy materials. Metal pipe racks and storage shelves should be covered with a stainless cladding, clean wood cribbing, paperboard or other suitable material.
4.7.4 Hammers, chippers, pliers, files, grips, clamps and other tools intended
to be used on stainless steel should be manufactured of hardened tool steel or chrome plated steel. Any of these tools previously used on carbon and low alloy steels shall be thoroughly cleaned before using on stainless steel. Work benches and fixtures fabricated from mild steels should be stainless clad or provided with another suitable contamination barrier.
4.7.5 Wire brushes shall be stainless steel and shall not have been used on
other materials.
4.7.6 Grinding and flapper wheels should be of an aluminum oxide type and shall not have been used.
4.7.7 Other materials: Consumables, such as markers, adhesive tapes,
cleaning solvents, testing chemicals and cutting lubricants shall be those specifically marketed and sold for use on stainless and nickel alloy materials. Restrictions on sulfur and halogen content shall conform to the project specifications.
4.8 Welder Qualification
4.8.1 Welders and welding operators shall be given assignments within the
ranges of their ASME Section IX or AWS D1.1 qualifications. All Welders Continuity Log and Welder Performance Qualification Records (WPQs) shall be kept and maintained throughout project. The contractor shall submit updates to Stillwater Utilities Authority throughout the duration of the project.

Prepare a Master Punch-list documenting the specific activities performed during
each Final Inspection and develop a punch list of all items that were found to be incomplete or not in compliance with the contract documents, referenced specifications, and the latest drawing revision at the time of the inspection. This would include any outstanding items of nonconformance or action items identified during previous Preparatory Meetings, Initial Inspections, and Follow-up Inspections for the particular work activity.
