PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY

The Contractor service requirements are summarized below into performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The Performance Standard briefly describes the minimum acceptable levels of service for each requirement. The Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) indicates the maximum defect that will still ensure mission success. The Contractor is responsible to meet all the requirements of this contract.

AQL for Visitor Areas (Visitor Center lobby, restroom, 2nd floor and basement display areas, Dam 1603 Gallery, and Dam North Tower, floors 9–11) and Powerhouse Control Room is 95%. AQL for all other areas is 85%.

The normal surveillance method will be unscheduled inspections. When Contractor performance regularly meets the contract performance standard, surveillance will be scaled back to verified customer complaints and feedback. If Contractor performance does not meet the contract performance standard, surveillance may be escalated to statistical random sampling, which may result in payment deductions for defective performance.
