DC Courts PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE To Be Completed by Client

Use the following adjective ratings and definitions in your evaluation of the A/E’s performance.

Rating Definition Notes

(E) Exceptional

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Client's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the A/E was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the A/E successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Client. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Client's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the A/E were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the A/E successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Client. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory

Performance meets minimum contractual requirements.

The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the A/E appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the A/E recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that A/Es will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal

Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the A/E has not yet identified corrective actions. The A/E's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the A/E had trouble overcoming which impacted the Client.

(U) Unsatisfactory

Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the A/E's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the A/E had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Client. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable

No information or did not apply to your contract Rating will be neither positive nor negative.
