3.) Favorable Past Performance Recording for Excellent Performance

11. GOVERNMENT REMEDIES

All work shall be subject to inspection, approval, and acceptance by the Government. The Government will compare the contractor's performance to industry standards and will not exclude common sense considerations as applied by the COR. The Contracting Officer will follow the requirements of FAR Clause 52.212-4 for the contractor’s failure to correct nonconforming services.

The Government will consider work incomplete when any one of the following conditions exits:

- The contractor did not perform any or all of the tasks successfully and timely.

If the performance of any required service is unsatisfactory, and poor performance is clearly the fault of the contractor, the Government may reduce the purchase order price to reflect the reduced value of defective services, if the Government gives the contractor a written Purchase Order Discrepancy Report prior to executing such payment deductions.

The CO will determine the payment deduction amount by calculating the percentage of acceptable services performed by the contractor. The Government will use the total number of deficiencies found to determine the percentage found unacceptable. The percentage found unacceptable subtracted from 100 percent will determine the percentage acceptable.
