4. For road segments where slash reduction is identified in the ROAD LISTING as required, all materials are reduced in size to less than 12 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter by use of a masticator, mechanical chipper, or similar means.

25.0 Acceptable Performance

Acceptable performance is achieved if 95% of the requirement is successfully satisfied. The Contractor’s acceptable performance will be rated in COR reports and in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) as Satisfactory, Very Good, or Exceptional.

26.0 Unacceptable Performance

Unacceptable performance is achieved if less than 95% of the requirement is satisfied (e.g., work specified by contract is incomplete or work is not IAW the PWS and manufacturer’s specifications). If the performance is deemed unacceptable for any objective (required task), the COR will determine the possible cause of this unacceptable performance. Unacceptable performance caused by actions of the Contractor shall be reported to the Contractor’s on-site representative and request its signature on documentation acknowledging notification.

Unacceptable performance caused by actions of the Government shall not be held against the Contractor. If the Contractor disputes the results of surveillance, the COR must refer the Contractor to the CO for resolution. The Contractor’s unacceptable performance will be rated in COR reports and in CPARS as Marginal or Unsatisfactory.

Supplier terms mean provisions customarily drafted by vendors of supplies or services and intended to create a binding legal obligation on the end user. The term applies:

1. Regardless of the format or style of the document. For example, supplier terms may appear in standard terms of sale or lease, Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA), or another similar legal instrument or agreement, and may be presented as part of a proposal or quotation responding to a solicitation for a contract or order or otherwise become effective after the contract date.

When any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to supplier terms, the supplier terms are deemed part of the contract only to the extent they are consistent with this clause.
