1.9 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR

It is the USACE standard operating procedure that the Contracting Officer evaluate the Contractor's performance and prepare a performance report using the web-based application CPARS (Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System) for construction contracts of 700,000 or more. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written by the Corps, the Contractor has a 60-day period to access, review and comment on the evaluation.

Accessing and using CPARS requires having specific software, called PKI certification, installed on the user's computer. The certification, a Department of Defense requirement, was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $100-$125 per certificate, per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.gov. The Contractor is encouraged to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPARS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
