The system of checklists, inspection methodology, and frequencies must be documented by the Contractor. The Contractor must maintain a local file of all quality control inspections conducted by the Contractor, including the corrective actions taken. This documentation must be made available to the Government during the term of this contract. A copy of these inspection reports must be submitted to the COR or designee as an attachment to the monthly progress report and all documentation made available to the Government upon request during the term of the contract.

A.7.5 GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM:

The Government will inspect the Contractor using a quality assurance program through random inspections, scheduled inspections, or any other method of inspection that the Government determines reflects the actual successful performance of this contract.

As part of the Government’s quality assurance program, the Government may:

1. Review and, if warranted, reject any reports or other submittals required from the Contractor.

2. Review performance and service records, including but not limited to monthly progress reports, BAS data, CMMS data, and any computerized or hardcopy records maintained by the Contractor documenting performance under this contract, and require correction of any unsatisfactory conditions noted.

3. Determine the adequacy of the Contractor’s quality control program and documentation and the overall success of this program. The Government may order improvements if it determines the program are insufficient or ineffective.

4. Obtain tenant satisfaction survey information and require improvements in service on the basis of such information to the extent such results correlate with deficiencies in contract requirements.

5. Conduct physical inspections of facility equipment and systems, to include programs and files maintained on computers and Contractor onsite offices and work areas, and require correction of deficiencies noted.

6. Perform inspections with Government personnel or independent third party inspectors.

Contractor performance will be evaluated on the basis of the performance success or deficiencies, success or failure in meeting other contract requirements, and the Contractor’s record of correcting deficiencies when noted. While corrective actions will be noted, a record of significant performance deficiencies may lead to a performance evaluation that is less than satisfactory even if the Contractor takes corrective action. The use or nonuse of any quality assurance methods (e.g., a measurement and verification (M&V) program) by the Government will not constitute a waiver of or excuse from contract requirements. The Government may implement or change quality assurance measures at any time during the term of the contract. All records and files that this contract requires the Contractor to maintain must be made readily accessible to Government representatives, including third party contract inspectors, on request. All records and files utilized or generated during the course of the contract by the Contractor, including all standard operating procedures and building operating plans, shall become the property of the Government (this excludes employee personnel files and company financial information). The Contractor must instruct all onsite personnel to cooperate with the Government or third party contract inspector requests for records access and information. This includes answering honestly and comprehensively all questions related to performance of work. The Contractor must provide personnel to enable inspectors, including third party contract inspectors, to perform inspections of equipment. The Contractor must notify the COR or designee at least 2 weeks in advance when equipment is to be opened and available for inspection by the Government. The Contractor must open and operate the equipment for observation by all inspectors at no additional cost to the Government provided the Government requests the service at least 48 hours in advance. Most inspections will be performed during normal working hours. However, the Contractor must provide personnel to enable access for inspectors who need to conduct observation and testing after normal hours to avoid possible disruption to tenants. FEMA uses the Contractor Performance System (CPS) or similar performance measuring system to formally evaluate the Contractors performance.
