This Qasp Plan Has Been Developed For In-house Operations Or To Implement A Service Contract. It Is Designed To Aid The Government's Qae In Providing Effective And Systematic Surveillance Of All Aspects Of Laundry Services. This Plan Provides For Monitoring All Contract Requirements Through A Combination Of Methods. These Are: 7.1.1.1. Sampling Guides 7.1.1.2. Customer Complaint Surveillance Guides; And 7.1.1.3. Surveillance Activity Checklist. 7.1.2. The Objective Of This Surveillance Plan Is To Evaluate How The Contractor Is Performing In Key Areas. We Are Primarily Interested In The Final Product Or Service Being Provided And Not In The Details Of Accomplishment. 7.1.3. The Principal Method Of Surveillance Will Be The Random Sampling Of The Quantity And Quality Of Laundered Items Processed. The Plan Contains Sampling Guides For Use In Random Sampling. It Contains Random Sampling (tally) Checklists Which Are Used To Record Information About The Random Samples. 7.1.4. Tasks Not Surveyed By Random Sampling Will Be Covered By Daily Observation In Some Cases Or By Use Or Periodic Checklist Inspections. Appropriate Checklists Are Provided For Recording Observations In This Type Of Surveillance. 7.2 How To Use The Surveillance Plan 7.2.1. This Surveillance Plan Has Been Organized To Facilitate Use By The Qae. It Is The Qae S Responsibility To Develop A Monthly Schedule For Activities Based On The Surveillance Plan S Requirements. The Monthly Schedule Will Be Completed By The Last Workday Of The Preceding Month And A Copy Will Be Submitted To A Co Or Other Management Official For Information And Review By An Assigned Workday Of The Month. 7.2.2. To Build The Inspection Schedule, The Qae Will Select Areas And Times For The Random Sampling Using The Procedures Shown In The Surveillance Plan. Periodic Checklist Items To Be Surveyed During The Month Will Be Programmed Into The Schedule To Facilitate Their Accomplishment. This Monthly Schedule Should Show What The Qae Is Monitoring Each Day. Changes Will Be Posted Weekly And Copies Sent To Appropriate Officials. The Reasons For Changes Will Be Fully Documented And Explained. Actual Surveillance Activity Must Be Comparable To The Monthly Schedule. The Responsible Management Official Must Be Able To Observe A Qae S Performance By Using The Monthly Schedule, As Updated. One Should Be Able To Conduct A Complete Audit Trail From The Monthly Schedule By Observing The Qae Perform Sampling Or Other Checklist Surveillance, And Completion Of Tally And Other Checklists. An Auditor Should Be Able To Track From The Above Items To The Management S Actions (payment Deductions Or Other Actions As Necessary If Contract Service Is Being Performed), Described On A Cdr. 7.2.3. Monthly Tally Checklists Will Be Prepared For Each Sampling Guide And Will Be Used To Record Information On Observations And Defects. Each Observation In The Sampling Will Be Recorded On The Tally Checklists. These Documents Will Then Become A Formal Record For Later Reference. The Tally Of Observations And Defects At The End Of Each Month Will Be Compared To The Acceptable Number Of Defects Appearing In The Relevant Sampling Guide. Any Errors Detected During The Course Of The Surveillance, Even If Not Of Sufficient Degree To Render The Service Unsatisfactory In Terms Of The Aql Parameters, Will Require Corrective Action By The Va For In-house Operations And The Contractor For Contracted Services. Errors Detected By The Qae In The Course Of Surveillance Will Be Transmitted To The Contractor Or In-house Management For Correction. Notification Of Errors Will Take Place Within One Working Day. Specifics Concerning Any Errors Should Be Recorded On The Tally Checklist. The Contractor Or In-house Management, As Applicable, Should Be Asked To Initial This Record. 7.2.4. If The Sampling Guide Indicates That The Number Of Defects Is Too High, The Current Month S Service Will Be Considered Unsatisfactory. If Performance In Any Area Is Judged Unsatisfactory, Based On Random Sampling Or Other Criteria As Set Forth In Technical Exhibit 2, Performance Requirements Summary, Of The Laundry Sow, A Contractor Or In-house Management Official Will Be Given A Cdr By The Cotr. When Completed And Signed, The Cdr, Along With The Tally Checklist Becomes The Documentation Supporting Payment Or Nonpayment Or Other Actions As Necessary For Contractor Provided Services. 7.2.5. There Are Some Requirements In A Contract Which Are More Conveniently Monitored On An Individual Periodic Basis. For Example, A Contractor Or The Government Is Required To Provide Continuing Training. When These Items Are Checked (quarterly And Monthly, For Example), The Deficiencies Will Be Recorded On The Appropriate Checklist. When These Items Are Discovered To Be Unsatisfactory, Actions As Described Above Will Be Taken. For The Number Of Allowable Defects, See The Performance Requirement Summary In The Sow. 7.3 Performance Requirements Summary:
