The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of deficiencies and shall review the plan with his onsite personnel to ensure complete understanding.

COR of any condition which is discovered that may present a hazard to either the equipment or personnel.
• The method(s) for identifying and preventing defects in the quality of service performed before the level of performance becomes unacceptable.

• A contingency plan to provide for continuing maintenance of the grounds in the event of employees’ absences, strikes or work stoppages. Work stoppage or strike participation by Contractor personnel against the Contractor does not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to fulfill the requirements of this PWS.
10. Contractor Performance Assessments: The Contractor will evaluate all services required of this contract, correct any deficiencies to commercially acceptable standard for landscaping maintenance. The Contractor shall furnish a copy of the evaluation/inspection reports to the designated COR for this contract as requested.
11. USDA Performance Assessments: Assessments will be assigned to an authorized individual or will be done by the COR. The COR will evaluate the contractor's performance under this contract IAW the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what USDA-ARS must do to ensure that the contractor has performed IAW the performance standards. Although USDA-ARS may develop a QASP, USDA-ARS surveillance of Contractor performance is not limited to the QASP or the performance objectives, incentives/remedies, etc. USDA-ARS has the right to inspect all services called for by the contract and commitments made by the Contractor during the solicitation process to the extent practicable at all places and times during the term of the contract.
USDA-ARS will perform inspections in a manner that will not unduly delay the work.
• If any of the services performed do not conform to contract requirements, USDA-ARS may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements at no increase cost to the government. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, USDA-ARS may:
a) require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements, and
b) reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.
• If the Contractor fails to promptly perform the services again or take the action necessary to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, USDA may:
a) by contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by USDA-ARS that is directly related to the performance of such service, or
b) terminate the contract for default. "Services", as used in this clause, includes services performed, workmanship, and material furnished or used in performing services.
• A USDA-ARS Inspector may accompany Contractor personnel during regular maintenance, service calls, or other work visits to observe and or ask for explanation of work performed. The intent is not to delay the Contractor in any way.
• Performing quality assurance in accordance with the PWS does not preclude USDA-ARS from conducting inspections as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions for Commercial Items for inspection/Acceptance.
• If performance or quality measures are not being met by the Contractor, USDA-ARS will revisit the QCP and may request revisions. Upon review of the plan and related documents, USDA- ARS will take appropriate action to ensure that all quality and performance measures are met as specified in this contract.
• If it is found that the grounds maintenance has deficiencies, the Contractor will be notified of these deficiencies, and it shall be their responsibility to make the necessary corrections within three (3) calendar days.
12. Type of Contract: USDA-ARS will award a performance-based commercial services contract. This means that USDA has described WHAT is to be accomplished, not HOW to accomplish it, and states a basis for determining whether finished work meets USDA-ARS quality requirements.
It does not state detailed procedures for accomplishing the requirement unless there are safety, security or communication requirements. It is the intent of USDA-ARS to provide the Contractor the maximum amount of flexibility to propose an innovative approach, and to find the most efficient and cost-effective method for meeting the stated objectives and requirements.
13. Post Award Conference / Performance Evaluation Meetings: The Contractor agrees to attend any post award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration office in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.5.

Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues. Meetings may be held quarterly thereafter as determined beneficial by USDA-ARS and Contractor.

The COR is authorized to perform the following functions: Assure that the Contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract; perform inspections necessary in connection with contract performance; maintain written and oral communications with the Contractor concerning technical aspects of the contract; issue written interpretations of technical requirements, including Government drawings, designs, and specifications; monitor Contractor's performance and notifies both the CO and Contractor of any deficiencies; coordinate availability of government furnished property, and provide site entry of Contractor personnel.
