This publication defines NAVFAC s policy for construction quality management and outlines the concepts, requirements, and procedures used to execute NAVFAC s Construction Quality Management (CQM) Program. The CQM Program implements the Contractor s Quality Control (QC) and the Government s Quality Assurance (QA) Systems, tools designed to support the management of NAVFAC s construction and environmental restoration work.

3 All NAVFAC construction type contracts, for work to be performed in the United States and its territories, will comply with the requirements and procedures outlined in this manual.

4 Madsen e-mail: Upon review and approval by NAVFAC Quality Management Task Force Members, changes to this manual will be incorporated and distributed. This publication cancels NAVFAC P-445 dated January 1988. Changes were made to bring this manual and NFGS 01450 Quality Control into agreement. The P-445 was produced in accordance with the policies outlined in NAVFACINST and meets the requirements outlined therein. Recently our technical staff was incorporated into the Acquisition workforce. As we proceed with the DAWIA certification process, the manual will be updated to include certification requirements for Engineers and QA Representatives.
