2. SERVICE SUMMARY. The contract service requirements are summarized in performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimally acceptable levels of service required for each requirement. The Services Summary (SS) and the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan (QCP) provide information on contract requirements, the expected level of Contractor performance, and the expected method of government validation and confirmation of services provided. These thresholds are critical to mission success. Procedures as set forth in the FAR 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance, will be used to remedy all deficiencies. During the first initial 30 days of the contract, two additional errors on each Performance Objective shall be allowed in an effort to identify normal phase-in problems.

2.1. QUALITY CONTROL. The contractor shall develop and maintain a quality program to ensure integrated solid waste management is performed in accordance with commonly accepted commercial practices. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non- recurrence of defective services. As a minimum the contractor shall develop quality control procedures addressing the areas identified in paragraph 2, Service Summary.

2.2. QUALITY ASSURANCE. The Government shall inspect and evaluate the Contractor’s performance to ensure services are received in accordance with requirements set forth in this PWS. The contractor shall provide work schedules to the COR in accordance with paragraph 4.3 of this PWS. The COR shall inspect by validating actual work performance, physically checking an attribute of the completed task, checking a management information report, investigating customer complaints, conferring with facility managers, or otherwise inspecting the task or its results to determine whether or not performance meets the standards contained in this PWS. 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. When a performance threshold has not been met or Contractor performance has not been accomplished, the COR will initiate and provide the CO a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) DD Form 2772 for issuance to the Contractor. The Contractor shall respond to the CDR IAW instructions provided and return it to the CO within 10 calendar days of receipt.

2.3 PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

Periodic validations will be conducted on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annually) and may be adjusted, based on quality trends.

2.3.2. Unsatisfactory Performance. Any unsatisfactory inspection (defect) result shall be recorded, and the Contractor shall re-perform the service within 24 hours after notification by the COR. Failing to meet the performance threshold as outlined in the SS for any of these performance objectives in any one month period shall result in a warning or letter of concern from the CO. Failing to meet the performance threshold as outlined in the SS of these performance objectives in any combination for any two, or more consecutive or non-consecutive months during a contract period shall constitute an immediate Progress Meeting with the Multi-functional Team.
