The purpose is to ensure that the contractor meets the performance standards contained in the contract. The COR is responsible for reporting early identification of performance problems to the KO. The COR is required to provide an annual performance assessment to the KO which will be used in documenting past performance. The QASP is the primary tool for documenting contractor performance. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual change on the Government’s behalf.

7.1 THE FOLLOWING WILL BE APPOINTED AS COR:

COR Name: TBD

COR Telephone Number:

7.2 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR: Marine Corps Installations East - Contracting Office:

Name: Tony Benson

Phone: 910-450-9381

Email: tony.benson@usmc.mil

8.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY. The contractor’s ability to provide services in accordance with the PWS requirements will be measured against the below listed Performance Requirements Summary as identified in the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP).

QASP

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. Purpose. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to provide the standard of surveillance for monitoring contractor performance in accordance with the Performance Work Statement.

The Contracting Officer (KO) will be appointed at the time of award and COR Contact information will be provided. The COR will also serve as the Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) and will use this QASP to ensure the standards of the contract are being met. The COR/QAE will be referred to as the COR throughout this QASP.

2. Level of Effort Standards. The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the service the Contractor is required to furnish. The COR will assess the Contractor’s performance to ensure the Contractor is performing up to the specified standards. The standards for this Performance Work Statement (PWS) are stated in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) included in this QASP. The standards for this procurement are subjective since specific metric-driven standards are not appropriate.

3. Management and Oversight. The QASP is based on the premise that the Contractor and not the

Government, is responsible for the management and any Quality Control action required to meet the terms of the contract. The Level of Effort requirements recognize that the Contractor is not a perfect manager and that unforeseen requirements and uncontrollable problems do occur. Good management and use of an adequate Quality Control Plan will allow the Contractor to operate within specific performance mailto:tony.benson@usmc.mil requirements. QASPs are designed to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating Contractor performance against the provided standards.

4. Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs). AQLs have been established in the Level of Effort Requirements

Summary and provide performance standards that the Contractor will meet in performing the contract. If the contractor meets the required AQL, it will be paid the monthly amount agreed upon in the contract. In the event the Contractor does not meet the established AQLs, the KO has the right to exercise the negative incentives stated in this QASP.

5. Primary Method of Surveillance/Evaluation. The COR will evaluate the contractor’s performance using one or more of the following surveillance methods:

Observation/Random Monitoring: Observation/Random monitoring of staffing levels and personnel qualifications by the COR.

Random Inspection: Random inspection of maintenance actions/inspection documentation developed via

Work Order (WO) Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA).

6. Negative Incentives. If any of the performance requirements do not meet the AQL set in the PRS table, the

COR shall document the discrepancy(s) and shall notify the Contractor promptly, and the KO, on a monthly basis, for appropriate action. When the performance is below the AQL standard, the Government may implement negative incentives that include: increased surveillance, reduction in contract price, decision not to exercise next option, increased Contractor reporting, and/or documentation of contractor’s failure to meet performance requirements in the Contractor’s Performance Assessment Reporting System

(CPARS). Due to the urgent and continuous nature of this requirement, the government requires the contractor to maintain the proposed workforce at 100% manning. As such, the contractor is expected to develop a manning plan to fill any planned or unplanned vacancies on an expedited basis. Any vacancies that occur in the contractor’s proposed manning should be filled within 14 calendar days. Any manning vacancies that remain unfilled after 14 days will have an invoice offset calculated using the total proposed daily cost (including profit and overhead) for the position left vacant (based on a 30 day month) times the number of vacant days in the billing cycle plus an additional 10% of the cost calculated.

7. Notification. The COR will notify the KO, in writing, of unacceptable quality levels. The KO will promptly provide written notification of discrepancies on a monthly basis, or immediately if the situation significantly affects the well-being of the project. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to respond, in writing, to each discrepancy.

8. Response. The Contractor shall provide a written response to the cause and the corrective action to prevent recurrence within ten (10) working days after receipt of the KO’s notification. The Contractor should cite specific quality assurance program procedures or new procedures instituted to prevent recurrence.

9. Records. The COR will maintain contract surveillance files as directed by the KO. Surveillance files will include, as a minimum, the following documentation for this Firm-Fixed Priced contract:

a. COR designation and appointment letters.

b. A copy of the contract and all contract modifications.

c. QASP, Quality Control Plan, and any other monitoring tools, checklists, etc.

d. All correspondence including KO notifications and the Contractor’s responses.

e. Contractor monthly status reports.

f. Monthly evidence of satisfactory performance provided by Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

g. Evidence of price monitoring: copies of certified invoices tracked against each contract line item.

h. Quarterly technical reviews.

i. Surveillance reports and a summary of the surveillance logs prepared by the COR and submitted to the

KO annually.

j. Copies of deficiency reports that may be submitted in support of unacceptable performance identified during the performance period by the COR, or when there is a significant change in the assessment in one or more evaluation areas.

10. Ratings. The following criteria will be used for performance evaluations: Exceptional, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory. Upward or downward arrows may be used to indicate an improving or worsening trend insufficient to change to the assessment status.

a. Exceptional. Indicates performance clearly exceeds contractual requirements. The area of evaluation may contain a few minor problems for which corrective action appears highly effective.

b. Satisfactory. Indicates performance clearly meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains some minor problems for which the corrective actions appear satisfactory.

c. Marginal. Indicates performance meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which corrective actions have not yet been identified, appear only marginally effective, or have not been fully implemented.

d. Unsatisfactory. Indicates the contractor is in danger of not being able to satisfy contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which the corrective actions appear ineffective.

11. Documentation. Documentation used and referenced to perform surveillance will consist of monthly reports, contractor plans and procedures, schedules, customer feedback and contract data requirements.

a. Recording Observations. The COR shall use Surveillance Logs to record information on scheduled observations and deficiencies noted. Each observation is recorded on the log. The documents then become a formal record for reference. The contractor is to be told each time that a deficiency is found during scheduled observations. The COR makes a notation on the Surveillance Log of the date and time the deficiency was discovered, then, the COR asks a contractor site manager to initial the notation, documenting notification of the deficiency only.

b. Potential Unacceptable Performance. The COR must identify the specific service that is unacceptable and the possible causes, and ask a number of questions which if answered, will probably pinpoint the source of the problem.

c. Documenting Unacceptable Performance. The COR must attempt to resolve the problem with the contractor. The original log and the attempted solution (along with an evaluation of results) are forwarded to the Contracting Officer through the COR.

Based on the severity of the discrepancy and the success of the solution, the COR will notify the KO.

The contractor shall complete a response to the unacceptable evaluation if requested by the KO or by its own choice.

12. Taking Action.

a. The COR may evaluate the contractor’s performance and document any non-compliance, but only the

KO may take action against the contractor for an unacceptable rating.

b. When the contractor’s performance is unacceptable and a formal action is indicated, the COR will determine what action is appropriate for the specific circumstances and make a recommendation to the

KO.

13. Documentation. The COR retains a copy of all inspection schedules and surveillance activity logs during the course of the contract, and forwards them for inclusion in the contract file at the end of the surveillance period. However, when a specific service becomes unsatisfactory during a surveillance period, the inspection documentation supporting the contract discrepancy report is forwarded to the KO.
