f.

Review of the following documents related to the purchase of project equipment.

l Briefly the method of handling the procurement of safety-related Balance of Plant materials, equipment and services I

is as follows:

S&L prepares and obtains approvals, and distributes the procurement specification in accordance with the project's distribution list.

Project No. 4536-00 requires the approved specification to be transmitted to the Plant Constructor (purchaser) to obtain bids and place a purchase order with the acceptable vendor.

S&L is responsible to evaluate the bidder (s) submittals and transmit any coments to the purchaser.

(1) S&L Specification No. K-2315 that scecifies the applicable codes and standards related to the manu-facture of the Fuel Fool Cooling and Cleanup Heat 2281 175

_ Exchange, plant constructors (purchaser) internal memorandum dated May 18, 1976, placing the equip-ment supplier on the approved list and the owners letter to the purchaser authorizing the purchase of the equipment from the approved supplier.

(2)

S&L Specification No. K-2828A for Shutdown Service Water Pump (Large) that specified the technical and quality requirements, S&L-QC Coordinators -

bidders' program evaluation and recommended sup-plier report, purchasers letter to the owner stating resolution of the QC coments in the evaluation report.

(.6 ) S&L Specification No. K-2957A for Drywell Plate Work.

S&L management stated this equipment was origin-ally included in the specification that included the equipment noted in paragraph C.2.f.(5) and the specification was revised to cover this scope of work and the purchase order was placed with the present vendor and the requirements described in Specification No. K-2957A are applicable.

2281 176

3.

Findings a.

Deviation No deviations from comitments were identified in this area of the inspection.

b.

Unresolved Item The S&L project files do not contain evidence that the supplier of the Drywell Plate Work (Specification No. K-2957A) had an acceptable QA Program, which would resolve the program deficiencies identified by the S&L-Quality Control Coordin-ator during his program evaluation and fonvarded to the pur-chaser as comments on the Bid Evaluation Form. This evalu-ation was one of the reviews conducted and identified in paragraph C.2. f. (5).

Project management stated that the intent of the procedural requirements for Project No. 4536-00 is that the Plant Constructor (purchaser) is responsible to resolve the vendor quality assurance program deficiencies identified by S&L and reported as comments in the evaluation reports.

Project management further stated that the applicable pro-ject procedures will be reviewed and revised as necessary to clarify the intent as stated.

These revised procedures will be reviewed during a subse-quent NRC inspection.
