About this file
This document is an Escalation and Remediation Process attachment (Section J - Attachment 8) for a federal facilities operations and maintenance contract. The process outlines a three-level escalation procedure for addressing contract performance issues, beginning at the local Government Task Manager (GTM) level and potentially advancing to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR/VMO) and Contracting Officer (CO) levels. Key aspects include:
The escalation process is designed to resolve issues at the lowest possible level, with an emphasis on thorough documentation and formal contract compliance. GTMs are encouraged to first attempt resolution directly with the contractor, with the first two occurrences of a problem handled at the local level. Subsequent or persistent issues are escalated to higher management levels. The process includes specific steps at each level: documenting discrepancies, notifying operational leadership, proposing and tracking corrective action plans, and potentially implementing escalating actions such as additional monitoring, leadership engagement, or contract enforcement measures including payment withholding or termination if issues remain unresolved.

SECTION J – Attachment 8 Escalation and Remediation Process
• The Escalation and Remediation Process is based on AQM’s standard approach and has 3 levels
• The process is designed to resolve issues at the lowest level possible -- Starting at the local GTM level
• Operational chain of command should be informed throughout the process -- especially before the issue is escalated from one level to the next
• The process should be considered a formal contract compliance proceeding:
― Issues must address quantifiable gaps in contractually obligated delivery of services ― The maintenance of thorough documentation throughout the process is required ― Its important to maintain a GTM “issues log” to capture performance concerns
• GTMs are encouraged to:
– Resolve issues with the contractor at the local level (Level 1 GTM Problem Remediation) before escalating to the COR (VMO) and CO
– Reach out to and know your contractor’s counterpart and communicate with them
• Escalation rule of thumb:
― 1st and 2nd occurrences of the same problem should be handled at the local GTM level (Level 1) ― 3rd occurrences and persistent problems should be escalated to the COR (VMO) (Level 2) ― Security violations are an exception to the 3 times rule for escalating issues beyond Level 1 *VMO- Vendor Management Office
