Attachment A - QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan

(QASP)

FOR SUPPORT OF

Janitorial Services

Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest

Heber Ranger District

Introduction

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is pursuant to the requirements listed in the performance work statement. The contractor shall provide janitorial services.

This QASP sets forth the procedures and guide lines the Forest Service will use in ensuring the required performance standards or service levels are achieved by the contractor.

The purpose of the QASP is to provide Government Surveillance oversight of the Contractor’s quality control efforts to assure that they are timely, effective, and is delivering the tasks specified in the contract. The QASP provides a means for evaluating whether the Contractor is meeting the performance standards/quality levels identified in the statement of work and the Contractor’s quality control plan, and to ensure that the government pays only for the level of services received. The required performance standards and/or quality levels are included in the statement of work and in section xii Service Delivery Summary. If the Contractor meets the required service or performance level, it will be paid the monthly amount agreed on in the contract.

This QASP defines the roles and responsibilities of all members of the integrated project team (IPT), identifies the performance objectives, defines the methodologies used to monitor and evaluate the Contractor’s performance, describes quality assurance documentation requirements, and describes the analysis of quality assurance monitoring results.

The Contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The QASP is not intended to duplicate the Contractor’s

Management Plan. The Government may provide the Contractor an information copy of the QASP as an

Attachment to the solicitation to support the Contractor’s efforts in developing its plan for maintaining the levels of quality anticipated to be delivered under the terms of the contract.

Any changes that the Contractor deems may affect contract price, terms, or conditions shall be referred to the CO for action. The COR will have the responsibility for completing QA monitoring forms used to document the inspection and evaluation of the Contractor’s work performance. Government surveillance may occur under the inspection of services clause for any service relating to the contract.

Surveillance

In an effort to minimize the performance management burden, simplified surveillance methods shall be used by the Government to evaluate Contractor performance when appropriate. The primary methods of surveillance are:

Customer Feedback-Customer feedback may be obtained either from the results of formal customer satisfaction surveys of from random customer complaints. Customer complaints, to be considered valid, must set forth clearly and in writing the detailed nature of the complaint, must be signed and must be forwarded to the COR.

The COR shall maintain a summary log of all formally received customer complaints as well as a copy…
