7.12 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. The Contractor shall be evaluated in accordance with the Government’s Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) (See Attachment 1).

ATTACHMENT 1: QASP

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

FOR

FUTENMA REPLACEMENT FACILITY, DPRI OKINAWA

CONSTRUCTION COORDINATOR AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER

INTRODUCTION: This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to evaluate contractor actions while implementing this Performance Work Statement (PWS). It is designed to provide an effective surveillance method of monitoring contractor performance for each listed objective in the PWS in the contract.

The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the services the contractor is required to furnish. It is based on the premise the Government desires to maintain a quality standard in supporting, providing recommendations, addressing planning and budgetary needs, and that a service contract to provide the service is the best means of achieving that objective.

The contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The role of the Government is quality assurance to ensure contract standards are achieved.

In this contract, the work plan and the monthly status report are the drivers for quality products. The contractor is required to develop a comprehensive program of activities for all tasks for each management area. The first major step to ensuring a “self-correcting” contract is to ensure that the approved work plan provides the measures needed to lead the contractor to success. Once the work plan is approved, careful application of the process and standards presented in the remainder of this document will ensure a robust quality assurance program.

SURVEILLANCE: The Government Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) will monitor the contractor’s work or will receive complaints directly from the designated Government Point of Contact (POC) for that specific management area.

STANDARD: Timeliness of the reports and plans shall not exceed the thresholds cited above for each performance standard. The COR shall notify the Contracting Officer for appropriate action in accordance with FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (May 1997) or the appropriate Inspection of Services clause, if any of the above service areas exceed the thresholds.

The Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) in Table 1 outlines the Government’s performance requirements for this contract.
