Performance Requirements Summary / Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan
In developing this QASP the elements have aligned in each of the security service areas listed in appendices B and C with an objective listed in the NIH Statement of Objectives, found in Attachment B, Section III of the RFP. The table below illustrates that alignment.
ALL MONETARY VALUES HAVE BEEN DELETED FOR SOLICITATION PURPOSES!
For the purposes of developing an incentive/disincentive plan for the PRS/QASP, NIH has assumed per quarter ceiling on the incentive portion of the program for each quarter where a survey is not conducted. When a survey is conducted -------will be available as an incentive for the quarter that the survey is reported. Within each Required Service listed in the PRS/QASP, monetary incentives are weighted to place performance emphasis on specific services. Incentive items have been weighted to place greatest emphasis on creating a safe environment and providing a high level of customer service, which are the two most important functions of NIH’s guard services contract. Incentive funds are limited but disincentives for most measured elements include unlimited deductions. Deductions will be taken from the next invoice submitted after quarterly review. At the beginning of each quarter the government reserves the right to change, reduce or remove the amount of incentives due to budgetary restrictions.
