LAP Evaluation Form.xlsx

This is a Local Administered Project (LAP) Evaluation Form used by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to assess consultant performance on contracted projects. The form evaluates consultants across two primary rating categories: Management and Prosecution and Progress. The Management section assesses four factors including resource management, consultant independence, scope adherence, and communication/cooperation with GDOT staff. The Prosecution and Progress section evaluates three factors: timely completion of deliverables, quality and completeness of invoices and reports, and budget compliance. Each factor is rated on a scale where 5 exceeds requirements, 3 meets requirements, and 1 does not meet requirements, with an N/A option available. The form requires documentation of the project phase, service dates, consultant information, GDOT Project Manager details, and the evaluating agency's project manager contact information.

The evaluation form includes mandatory justification fields for all scores provided by the GDOT PM or Subject Matter Expert, with provisions for consultant response to evaluations. A scoring table converts individual ratings into weighted points based on the number of factors rated, with higher ratings yielding proportionally higher scores. The form requires signatures from the GDOT PM, consultant PM, agency evaluator's supervisor, and notably mandates acknowledgement from the GDOT Assistant Office Head and Office Head if any factor receives a rating of 1. This escalation requirement ensures oversight of substandard performance and establishes accountability at multiple management levels within GDOT's organizational structure.
