Post Completion/Design Criteria Feedback Inspection. ER
415-3-11, Post Completion Inspection and Design Criteria Feedback
Inspection, addresses another team approach used by USACE in
evaluating the quality of design and construction achieved in the
acquisition of facilities.
(1) Post completion inspections (PCI) are used to identify
deficiencies or defects in the design, construction, materials,
equipment, operability, maintainability, or functional adequacy
of a completed facility that are not discernible until the
projects have been subjected to usage. Such inspections normally
occur approximately six months after occupancy of a facility.
(2) Design criteria feedback inspections (DCFI) are
performed for much the same reasons as post completion
inspections, but normally occur after a facility has been
occupied for two or more years, but before original features have
been obscured by alterations or repairs.
(3) Team constituency of PCI and DCFI includes appropriate
HQUSACE, MSC and DC representatives, plus representatives of the
local Director of Installation and Housing, the user, host and
user Major Army Commands, the Engineering and Housing Support
Center, and other concerned parties.
(4) PCI and DCFI reports are used by appropriate USACE
subject matter proponents to improve design, construction, and
operations and maintenance guidance promulgated by those
proponents for dissemination throughout the Army.
Engineering Improvement Recommendation System (EIRS).
h.
The EIRS is an informal system used to disseminate new or
modified design guidance USACE-wide pending incorporation of such
new or revised guidance in permanent media, such as guide
specifications and technical manuals. The document. used in this
dissemination process is the EIRS Bulletin. EIRS bulletins are
developed by HQUSACE subject matter technical proponents, based
upon descriptive reports and analyses received from other USACE
and Army elements, that indicate a need for improvements in
technical guidance on an expedited basis. EIRS bulletins are
published periodically by HQUSACE, and their frequency of
publication and wide dissemination make them an ideal vehicle for
informing all USACE elements of new guidance in a very timely
manner.
