2.0 Services Summary

2.1 General

The contractor service requirements are summarized as performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimum acceptable levels of service required for each requirement. These thresholds are critical to mission success but do not represent all contract performance requirements. All contract performance requirements in this PWS will be monitored.

FA4460-25-Q0050 PWS REVISION: 2 7

2.2 Performance Evaluation

The performance of a service shall be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the performance requirements of this contract. The re-performance of unacceptable services at no additional cost is the preferred course of action when appropriate. In the case of issued Corrective Action Reports (CARs), the Contracting Officer (CO) shall take appropriate measures according to inspection of services clause in the contract, i.e., FAR 52.246-4, 52.246-5, or 52.212-4(a). Corrective Action Reports may categorize nonconformance as minor, major or critical IAW the following FAR 46.101 definitions:

“Minor nonconformance” means a nonconformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services.

“Major nonconformance” means a nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose.

“Critical nonconformance” means a nonconformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; or is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission.

Performance Objective PWS Reference Performance Threshold SS1. The contractor shall provide pavement markings and signage.

1.2, 2.1 & Technical

Specifications 1-4

100% Inspection: No more than 2 discrepancies per Work Task.

2.3 Government Quality Assurance. The government shall inspect and evaluate the contractors’ performance to ensure services are received in accordance with the requirements set forth in this contract. The COR will use the contractor’s work schedule, or modified version thereof, to record validation results. Results of the validation then become the official Air Force record of the contractor’s performance. Government surveillance of tasks not listed in the PWS or by methods other than those listed in the PWS (such as provided for by the Inspection of Services clause) may occur during the performance period of this contract. Such surveillance will be done according to standard inspection procedures or other contract provisions. Any action taken by the CO as a result of the surveillance will be according to the terms of this contract.

2.3.1 The government will periodically evaluate the contractor’s performance in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). The government may inspect each task as completed and increase the number of quality assurance inspections if deemed appropriate because of repeated failures discovered during surveillance inspections or because of repeated

FA4460-25-Q0050 PWS REVISION: 2 8

customer complaints. Likewise, the government may decrease the number of quality assurance inspections if performance dictates.

2.3.2. When an observation indicates defective contractor performance, the COR will require the contractor’s Contract Manager or representative at the site to initial the observation. The formal process is, when a performance threshold has not been met or contractor performance has not been accomplished, the COR will initiate and provide the CO a Corrective Action Report (CAR) for issuance to the contactor. The contractor shall respond to the CAR IAW instructions provided and in the CAR. While the formal process of this paragraph addressing unacceptable contractor performance is always available, the Government reserves the right to initiate a less formal process involving the contractor, the COR and the CO meeting together at no additional cost to the Government regarding unacceptable contractor performance.

2.4 Performance Assessment.

2.4.1 Periodic Surveillance. This method requires the COR to employ a “spot check” style of evaluation based on the contractor’s services. Periodic surveillance will be conducted on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annually) and may be adjusted, based on quality trends.

2.4.2 Customer Complaints. The COR will receive and investigate all complaints. The COR will be responsible for validating customer complaints. The CO shall make final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) in cases of disagreement with the COR and the contractor.

Validated customer complaints shall be reperformed, if possible, within 3 business days of notification at no additional cost to the Government IAW the inspection clause of the contract and the direction of the Contracting Officer.

2.6 Contracting Officer Representative (COR). CORs are representatives of the CO and will participate in the administration of this contract. After the award of the contract, the contractor will be provided with a letter identifying the COR and setting forth their duties and authorities.

The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the contract/task order.

2.6.1 Acquisition Team Meetings. The contractor’s Contact Specialist (CS) with the CO, COR, and other government personnel constitute an acquisition team [See FAR 1.102 (c)] and shall meet on a regular basis. The Acquisition Team will establish how often meetings are needed based on contract complexity. As a subset of the Acquisition Team, Government members of the Acquisition Team are often referred to as the Multi-Functional Team (MFT) and may meet as determined by the MFT. The contractor may request a meeting with the CO when the contractor believes such a meeting is necessary. If the CO or CS deems necessary, written minutes of any such meeting shall be recorded by the CS in the contract file and signed by the COR and the CO or CS. If the contractor does not concur with any portion of the minutes, such nonoccurrence shall be provided in writing to the CO within 10 calendar days following receipt of the minutes.

FA4460-25-Q0050 PWS REVISION: 2 16

MINOR DEFICIENCY. Minor deficiency means an unsatisfactory condition that requires repair or correction, but does not endanger personnel, affect safety of flight, jeopardize equipment reliability, or warrant discontinuing a process or equipment operation.

NONCONFORMANCE. Nonconformance of supplies or services defined at FAR 46.101 may be of three kinds:

“Minor nonconformance” means a nonconformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services.

“Major nonconformance” means a nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose.

“Critical nonconformance” means a nonconformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; or is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission.

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT. A process that measures success towards achieving defined performance objectives or goals defined within the performance thresholds in the services summary or the process of assessing progress towards achieving the objectives/goals developed in a performance plan or partnering agreement.

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR. A measurable characteristic of an output of a work process.

Generally synonymous with attribute.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT. The use of performance measurement information to effect positive change in organizational culture, systems, and processes, by helping to set agreed upon performance goals, allocating and prioritizing resources, informing managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and sharing results of performance in pursuing those goals.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE. The outcome is associated with successful contract performance in a specific area. This is a critical success factor in achieving the organization’s mission, vision and strategy which, if not achieved, would likely result in a significant decrease in customer satisfaction or risk mission failure. Obtaining multi-services/sub-services performed at a certain measurable standard and consistently ensures success in achieving the objectives critical to the mission.
