I do all my subs daily reports. The Government doesn't recognize the subcontractors, all they care is that you are the general contractor, or the contractor who has the prime contract with them. Try getting a fencer to a roofer to do this, not a guy machining parts or manufacturing something......completely different animal.
BTW if the manufacturer's are not meeting spec, why is the equipment being put in? The pumps obviously were failing the initial and very easy tests. This was brought up by their own QA officer from the West Coast, yet somehow the Corp put the equipment in.
BTW I'd bet the farm the Corp is failing to follow the Government's well establish Construction Quality Management plan for other work in the area as well, this can't be the only "oversight." The CQC Plan is instituted here and judging by my link on the East Coast as well.
