I. General Information

I.A. The Project

This project implements and enhances security and esthetics for the area around the Harry S Truman

(HST) Streetscape Construction building located in Washington DC. The project originated in response to the events of 9/11 where high-profile government buildings were targeted by terrorists. This major renovation project will replace the temporary security measures surrounding the building to provide countermeasures that will secure the building, protect employees and visitors, and improve the surrounding streetscape by creating an attractive and accessible environment for pedestrians. Once complete, the temporary security measures will be replaced with tested and proven countermeasures that will secure the building, protect employees and visitors, and improve the surrounding streetscape by creating an attractive and accessible environment for pedestrians. The project involves civil/site construction of approximately 162,000 square feet of streetscape (sidewalks, curb & gutter, utilities, etc.), requiring 4 phases for completion.

III.G. Contractor Performance Information

Evaluating Contractor Performance: The General Services Administration is using the Contractor

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) module as the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process. CPARS enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The website for CPARS is

Contractor Performance Assessment

Completed CPARS evaluations may then be used by the Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions. CPARS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.

CPARS Registration: Each award requiring an evaluation must be registered in CPARS. The contractor will receive several automated emails. Within thirty days of award, the contractor will receive an email that contains user account information, as well as the applicable contract and order number(s) assigned.

Contractors will be granted one user account to access all evaluations.

Contractor CPARS Training: Contractors may sign up for CPARS training. A schedule of classes will be posted to the CPARS training site (CPARS Training) and updated as needed.

Contractor Representative (CR) Role: All evaluations will be sent the Contractor Representative (CR) named on your award. The CR will be able to access CPARS to review and comment on the evaluation. If your CR is not already in the CPARS system, the contracting officer will request the name and email address of the person that will be responsible for the CR role on your award.

Once an evaluation is ready to be released the CR will receive an email alerting them the evaluation is ready for their review and comment. The email will indicate the time frame the CR has to respond to the evaluation; however, the CR may return the evaluation earlier than this date.

GSA shall provide for review at a level above the contracting officer (i.e., contracting director) to consider any disagreement between GSA and the contractor regarding GSA’s evaluation of the contractor.

Based on the review, the individual at a level above the contracting officer will issue the ultimate conclusion on the performance evaluation.

Copies of the evaluations, contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the contract file.

INFORM seeks to increase GSA-industry communication by providing clearer and more complete information to explain the award decision.

Through the INFORM process, GSA will seek to share additional information with offerors in writing and/or through an oral feedback meeting1 that is not required by statute or regulation. For

Part 15 including mandatory debriefs and Part 16, and in addition to any information required by
