Quality is planned for, built into, and monitored throughout the planning process, which provides structure to the study. An integral part of such quality management is the management of the projects associated values. Value management is a process to facilitate and encourage the understanding, consideration, and integration of the needs of all customers, team members, sponsors/partners, and stakeholders. Value Management seeks the highest value for a project by balancing resources and quality. Public Law and OMB directive require value engineering during planning and design of water resources projects Quality ControYOuality Assurance: A collaborative planning process involving multiple organizations will be required. It is the policy of USACE that all of its technical, engineering and scientific work will undergo an open, dynamic and vigorous review process. In accordance with Engineering Circular (EC) 1165-2-214, the Sulphur River Basin Feasibility Report and associated support analyses will undergo DQC and ATR. This study is also expected to undertake an IEPR, which will be presented as final at the CWRB. DQC is the review of basic science and engineering work products focused on fulfilling the project quality requirements defined in this PMP. DQC will be managed and conducted by staff in SWF and the RPEC. As part of this process the PDT will be responsible for a complete reading of the Sulphur River Basin Feasibility Report to assure the overall integrity of the Report, technical appendices and the recommendations before approval by the District Commander. ATR is an in-depth review, managed with the Corps, and conducted by a qualified team outside SWG that is not involved in the day-to-day activities associated with the Sulphur River Basin Feasibility Report. The purpose of ATR is to ensure the proper application of clearly established criteria, regulations, laws, codes, principles and professional practices. The iEPR will be managed and conducted independently of the USACE. The PCX will contract with an outside eligible organization (OEO). The OEO will select panel members consisting of recognized independent experts outside of USACE. Guidance on policy compliance review and approval of decision documents is provided by ER 1105-2-100, Appendix H. SWD performs quality assurance and will be responsible for vertical and horizontal coordination and provide the on-going technical, policy and legal compliance support to SWF. HQ reviews products at various points in the planning phase to confirm policy and legal compliance, and ensure nationwide consistency. Key coordination points during the planning process are shown in the project schedule attached to this PMP. Proiect Delivery Team Draft PMP _. XX October 2016 23
