Paragraph 3.5 is relevant.

9. Past Performance Questionnaire – Page 3, “Overall Assessment”

How would you rate the contractor being surveyed?

Since the “1” is located under the Exceptional column, we are assuming that a score of 1 would be the highest measure on this scale. Therefore a score of 6 would be a low score or negative reflection of the contractor.

As indicated on the Past Performance Questions, “Overall Assessment” - “1” is for Exceptional and “6” is for Neutral/Not Applicable. Refer to the Past Performance Question for the definition of each rating.
