Part 5: Quality Assurance/Safety Standards
Quality assurance for any project is necessary for maintaining a desirable quality of a
product. This requires through attention to every stage and processes from the project initiation
phase to the project completion phase. The construction work related to the repair an renovation
of the Darling Harbor Swing bridge is a highly optimized process involving different disciplines
and different participants as well. The quality assurance standards thus undertaken in this project
eliminates the cause of unsatisfying performance in the project implementation. A contract
document is developed as a guideline of quality control. This document indicates that any
construction work in the bridge will be considered acceptable under the applicable regulatory
codes and standards of professional practice, only if it is reliable enough and the ease with which
the maintenance works can be managed. The different tools and technology involved with the
maintenance of the quality standard includes regular inspection of the works, control charts and

11PROJECT MANAGEMENT
statistical sampling. These tools help in improvement of the quality of the works and in decision
acceptance as well. Evaluation of the project performance in regular basis helps in providing the
confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards and therefore this is one of
the major requirements in maintaining a standard quality of the project. Furthermore, monitoring
of the quality assurance program is necessary for ensuring a proper result. This further requires a
development of quality management plan that should be followed throughout the project
implementation phase. Quality audit is another major criteria required for safeguarding the
assured quality of the project is scheduled to be completed in a constricted time of 10 days.
Furthermore, in order to assure a good quality project, determining and inspecting the quality of
the building materials such as cement, sand, steel and aggregate concrete is essential. The
moisture content in the specific part of the bridge is to be measured and dealt accordingly. The
tensile strength of the steel and compressive strength of the bricks is needed to be inspected in
order to deliver a good quality product and project. The different steps involved in quality
assurance are listed below-
1) The materials testing are to be done prior to the beginning of the construction
2) The contractor is responsible for obtaining the samples of the materials designated as
the proposed source of the materials
3) Contractor is responsible for sending the test samples in the testing laboratory for
determining the acceptance criteria of the material under testing
4) The CQAO is responsible for inspecting the materials being used periodically
5) The project manager is responsible for supervision of the entire project work and
should make sure that the project undergoes every phases of the project management.
Safety Standards are designed in order to ensure the safety of the products activities and

12PROJECT MANAGEMENT
the processes involved in the project management life cycle. Every worker and employees
associated with this project should abide by the safety standards of the project. The safety policy
is designed to comply with the occupational safety and health administration, with an aim of
maintaining a safe workplace. Workers are requires to familiarize themselves with all the
potential hazards in the construction site and should not work in the areas where the protection
system have not been installed. The project owner should also ensure fall protection systems to
protect the workers working in the site and prevent them from walking on unprotected edges.
Hard hats are mandatory to be worn while working on site. Furthermore, it is mandatory for the
workers to wear sturdy and non-skid work boots while working on the bridge. For this, workers
should be trained enough to recognize the hazards of falling and should know the procedure of
minimizing the hazards and preventing the falls. The workers should be further provided with an
eye and face protection to the workers and the safety standard designed should meet the
standards of ANSI Z87.1-2010. Workers should be trained to operate the aerial lift in the
workspace.
Part 6: Procurement Strategy
Procurement strategy is a planned approach of delivering a successful product. It deals
with the acquisition of materials, supplies and services that a company need to operate
successfully. The type of contract chosen for a project depends on many factors, which includes
type of the building project and goals and objective of the project. The contract type chosen for
this renovation project is a fixed price contract. This contract type is chosen for this project
because the total budget of the project is already fixed to AUD 31, 474,000 with a a fixed
schedule. Furthermore, the superstructure and swing span replacement of the bridge is needed to
be completed within the 10-day bridge closure period to minimize the impact of construction on

public. Therefore, it is beneficial to consider a fixed project contract for this construction work.
In a fixed type contract, the owner and the contractor before the initiation of the construction or
project work agree a single price for all work. This assures the completion of the project within
athe ste time as this type of contract includes incentives fir early completion of the project and in
similar ways, the liquidated damages or penalties for the late completion. Therefore, it becomes
responsibility of the contractor to complete the work within the set time. Since the amount is
already paid at the beginning of the project initiation, it becomes the responsibility of the
contractor to complete the work within the set schedule. There is however, certain risk associated
with the builder or the contractor if he fails to bid an appropriate cost of the project. This risk can
however be mitigated in this case as the budget of the project is already set for this project as
well as the project schedule. Fixed contract is ideal for the projects, which have a clear project
scope and defined construction schedule. There is limited flexibility in modifying and designing
the project works once the project has been initiated. Since the scope, schedule and budget of
the project is clear, it is beneficial for the project owner to consider a fixed type contract. The
major drawback related to the fixed type contract is that there is less transparency in the
breakdown of costs and the profit margin of the builder. The major advantage of a fixed type
contract is that it is normally not subjected to any sort of adjustments unless the provision for the
same is included in the agreement. It provides the assurance of a task or project completion
within a set budget and therefore fixed contract is set for this renovation project. Furthermore, it
places a minimum administrative burden on the different contracting parties but is subjected to
maximum risk in case of cost escalation.
The method of delivery chosen for this project is design bid build method. This includes
designing of the project by a team of architects hired for this project. The contractor appointed

14PROJECT MANAGEMENT
for the project along with the project manager is responsible for completion of the project. In this
mode of delivery, the designing and construction phases of a project are clear and distinct and
the entire planning of the project is generally completed before the initiation of the project. The
major advantage of the project is that, the project scope is well understood and there are less
chance of the misunderstandings in the project. The delivery method associated with a fixed time
contract is design bid build delivery and therefore, this method of delivery is recommended for
the project.
