E-4 INSPECTION

The Government will visually inspect the Contractor’s performance on a random basis under this contract to ensure compliance with contract guidelines. The COR will record inspection observations and will document deficiencies through a written inspection report

Whether or not a suspend work notice is issued, the Contractor shall be responsible for correcting any damage caused by its operation, whether inside or outside project limits, at no cost to the Government. Such suspensions shall not be considered as suspensions for the Convenience of the Government under FAR 52.242-14, Suspension of Work, and shall not qualify for an equitable adjustment.

E-7 PAYMENT

Payment will be made monthly for janitorial services that have been satisfactorily provided.

The Contractor will submit an invoice each month after assuring themselves that all work has been completed timely in accordance with the Statement of Work and the checklist from the

Quality Control Plan. The Government will review the performance as compared to contract standards, the Quality Assurance Plan and the Performance Objectives. Monthly payments to the Contractor will be reduced for logged deficiencies, as described in the Inspection clause.
