progress and review meetings with ElectraNet
representatives in Adelaide.
These may
include but are not limited to the following
meetings:

2.7.1Inception meeting
A project inception meeting will take place in
Adelaide at a mutually agreed time early in the
project period prior to any work on site or
procurement of materials. All key personnel
are to attend this meeting as the purpose of the
meeting is to provide an introduction of team
members and also as a re-iteration of
ElectraNet expectations and requirements.
The Contractor can also make use of this
opportunity to obtain high-level clarification
of both Contractual and project issues.

2.7.2Regular
meetings

progress

Regular progress meetings (LCM50 Project

Schedule Item 16) are to be attended by the
Contractors representative and will take place
in Adelaide. The Contractors representative
is required to present a regular report to the
ElectraNet stakeholders at these meetings, and
also provide general feedback to project
progress, covering areas such as equipment
procurement, construction, commissioning,
training and Quality Assurance.
A joint
review and update of the Project Risk log will
also take place during these meetings. This
forum will provide the opportunity for open
dialogue between stakeholders to promote an
awareness of issues relating to the project
amongst all parties.

2.7.3Overall
Project
Coordination Meetings

be required to attend these meetings when
called by the Superintendent.

2.7.4Project
meeting

close-out

A closeout meeting will be held after practical

completion of the project. The purpose of this

terms of Contractual matters and to review
experiences gained and lesson learnt
throughout the project life.
Prior to this meeting, the Contractor will be
required to submit, to the Superintendent, a
report detailing the Contractors opinion as to
the manner in which the Superintendent has
delivered the project. This should indicate
positive actions by the Superintendent in the
project and areas that require improvement to
assist the better success of future projects.

2.8 QUALITY ASSURANCE

AND RECORD
KEEPING
2.8.1Right of Access
The Contractor shall provide access for the
SQAR to the Contractor's and the
Subcontractor's premises or working area for

Contractor must appoint a full-time Quality
Assurance Representative (CQAR) to manage
all QA issues. This representative shall not be
the Construction Manager or another officer
who also holds an additional role on site, unless
otherwise agreed with the Superintendent.
The Superintendent will appoint his own
Quality Assurance Representative (SQAR), as a
means to verification of submitted QA
documentation. This representative will carry

are being conducted in the correct manner.

minimum records that the Contractor is to

maintain for this Contract are:

Each activity on site and the installation of each

structure must be supported by relevant QA
documentation including, but not limited to,
digital photos and inspection test plans. This
documentation shall be submitted to the SQAR
on a weekly basis. It is required that the CQAR
and EQAR meet on a regular basis to discuss
any issues arising from the regular weekly
documentation. These meetings shall occur
prior to the regular progress meeting, to enable
QA issues to be handled separately.
