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 state and local contract projects, specifically related to Traffic Projections/Forecasting Studies across multiple GDOT districts. The form evaluates consultants across two primary rating categories: Management and Prosecution and Progress. The Management section assesses resource management, consultant independence, scope adherence, and communication and cooperation with GDOT staff across four evaluation factors. The Prosecution and Progress section evaluates three factors: timely completion of deliverables, completeness and accuracy of invoices and reports with minimal revisions, and budget compliance. Each factor is rated on a scale where 5 indicates exceeds requirement, 3 indicates meets requirement, 1 indicates does not meet requirement, and N/A is available when not applicable.

The evaluation form includes a scoring methodology that calculates weighted ratings based on the number of factors evaluated, with single-factor ratings valued at 50 points, two-factor ratings at scaled values, and progressively lower point values for additional factors. The form requires justification from the GDOT Project Manager or Subject Matter Expert for all scores, provides space for consultant response to evaluations, and mandates signatures from multiple parties including the GDOT Project Manager, supervisor, and consultant representative. Additional acknowledgements from the GDOT Assistant Office Head and Office Head are required if any factor receives a rating of 1, ensuring oversight of substandard performance evaluations.
