(End of Clause)

GOVERNMENT 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 provided to the Contractor. When unacceptable performance is observed, the COR will meet with the Contractor’s on-site supervisor to review the inspection report and ensure that the Contractor has an understanding of the unacceptable services. The preferred method to resolve deficiencies is to allow re-performance to correct the deficiencies. The Contractor shall be provided with the opportunity to correct substandard performance within one business day. When substandard performance is not corrected within the specified timeframe or the Contractor refuses to re-perform the service, the unsatisfactory service is then logged as a deficiency.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

The Contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to the essential services provided. The stated performance thresholds are the minimum acceptable levels of service for each stated requirement. All aspects of Contractor performance are subject to Government surveillance, and absence of any contract requirements from the Performance objectives identified below will not detract from the enforceability, nor limit the rights or remedies of the Government under other contract clauses.

CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN

A. Quality Control Plan

The Contractor shall provide a Quality Control Plan (QCP) as part of this Technical Proposal. The Plan must demonstrate how the Contractor shall assure that quality of performance meets the objectives and requirements of the contract. The QCP shall specify:

· How quality will be monitored to ensure performance standards are met.

· How the work will be supervised.

· Identify the personnel responsible for performing quality control.

· How results of the monitoring will result in quality performance.

· Create a checklist for inspection of the building that covers all services stated in the “Performance Standards and Guidelines”.

· A system to ensure that the Contractor’s employees are notified of any deficiencies in their area of responsibility.

· A plan to monitor and correct customer complaints.

· A plan for immediately forwarding customer complaints that are not the responsibility of the Contractor to the COR.

B. Contractor Quality Control Inspection

The Contractor shall assure themselves that performance meets contract specifications, in accordance with FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Items, paragraph (a), prior to requesting the Government to inspect for payment or acceptance. The Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer upon completion of a unit. The Contracting Officer may observe the Contractor’s inspection at any time and shall otherwise have unlimited access to the inspection data.

Failure by the Contractor to implement the approved plan and pursue it diligently from the commencement of the contract may be considered grounds for default.

DESIGNATION OF CONTRACTING OFFICER'S REPRESENTATIVE

The Contracting Officer designates the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

The COR is responsible for administering the performance of work under this contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer prior to completion of the contract.

The Contracting Officer should be informed as soon as possible of any actions or inactions by the Contractor or the Government, which will change the required delivery or completion times stated in the contract, and the contract will be modified accordingly. (This does not apply to individual task assignments which were issued by the COR provided they do not affect the delivery schedule or performance period stated in the contract.)

On all matters that pertain to the contract terms the Contractor must communicate with the Contracting Officer. Whenever, in the opinion of the Contractor, the COR requests effort outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor should so advise the COR. If the COR persists and there still exists a disagreement as to proper contractual coverage, the Contracting Officer should be notified immediately, preferably in writing if time permits. Proceeding with work without proper contractual coverage could result in nonpayment or necessitate submittal of a contract claim.

CONTRACTOR'S REPRESENTATIVE

The Government may, at its option, suspend work with full count of contract time continuing, if the Contractor fails to provide a Contractor's Representative (1) conversant in the English language and (2) able to read and understand the contract.
