Resident Management System (RMS) is a construction information management (CIM) system the Corps of Engineers developed to control

Back 1

construction quality management and contract administration.

Front 2

RMS” has a network-based module, used by Corps Resident Engineer and “QCS” module used by

Back 2

Contractor

Front 3

When QCS and RMS are used from the very start of the contract and maintained current, users have found it to be an outstanding tool to

Back 3

increase productivity.

Front 4

Correspondence Management – QCS / RMS indexes and tracks all incoming and outgoing correspondence related to a

Back 4

contract.

Front 5

Submittal Register and Transmittal Control - A powerful feature of QCS/RMS is it imports the submittal register data file generated by designers from

Back 5

Specs Intact specifications software

Back 6

Contractor QC Staff,

Submittal Reviewers,

Contractor

Contracting Officer’s Management.

Front 7

Construction Schedules - QCS facilitates schedule analysis showing proposed schedule and

Back 7

Back 9

Quality Control daily reports,

Phase Checklists,

Subcontractor List,

Testing Schedules,

On-site Equipment Lists,

Resident Office.

Front 11

Cost Control and Payment - Contractor can use QCS payment item features for cost control, and tracking of invoices and

Back 11

progress payment requests.

Front 12

Contract Administration – QCS supports construction contract administration by importing

Back 12

government furnished RMS start data.

Front 13

Construction Management Uses - QCS payment, schedule and QC data exported to RMS is standardized for integration with CEFMS and P2 and allows higher levels of Contractor and Corps Management to track a contract’s status and allows earlier

Back 13

identification of project-related issues.

Front 14

Daily QC Report. Provides fully integrated Daily Reporting for Quality Control personnel as required by the

Back 14

contract.

Front 15

Punch List Items. Provides the mandated Deficiency Tracking System required by the

Back 15

Back 16

scheduling packages (e.g., Primavera).

Front 17

Back 22

contract administration process.

Front 23

Reports. The QCS reports are available in each major area and many can be

Back 23

sorted or tailored for desired output.

Front 24

Corps and Contractor fully integrate QCS/RMS by update

Back 24

data exchanges.

Front 25

Reduces input. Once data is entered one time on easy to use input screens, the computer draws on that data for a wide variety of input-output

Back 25

products

Front 26

Merges data drawn from the RMS and QCS databases to produce useful tools to perform

Back 26

QC and QA functions.

Front 27

Provides reports for key suspense

Back 27

items and data.

Front 28

Major CQM Output Products of QCS and RMS:

Back 28

Three-Phase Control checklists, agenda, and meeting minutes.

A deficiency tracking system.

Daily QC Reports and QA Reports.

Various closeout documents (including Installed Property, Transfer Property, User Schooling, etc.).

Front 29

Tracks pay estimate data, and generates

Back 29

pay requests.

Front 30

Track variety of personnel data, subcontractor listings, correspondence, RFI, and

Back 30

safety items.

Front 31

Most contracts will include some CQM forms but as QCS versions are updated forms may

Back 31

slightly change.

Front 32

Because data is being entered and a contract QCS/RMS data base is built early in a job, software allows QC and QA staff to effectively manage an assortment of

Back 32

QC/QA items.
