Performance Assessment Plan

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The Performance Assessment Plan (PAP) establishes Performance Assessment (PA) provisions for Contract N40085-22-R-2559, Fish Pond Management and Forestry Services.

The PAP describes the methodology for assessing the Contractor’s performance that will be used to provide Contractor feedback, update Contractor Performance Assessment Rating System (CPARS).

The PAP includes the Functional Assessment Plan (FAP), Attachment A, and standard Performance Assessment Worksheets (PAW), Attachment B, to document and report Government observations of Contractor performance. The Government’s role is to assess Contractor’s work against measurable performance standards, and per the principles of Performance Based Services Acquisition (PBSA), the Contractor’s role is to ensure its quality through successful implementation of its Quality Management System (QMS). Per FAR Subpart 46.4, Government PA “shall be performed at such times and places as may be necessary to determine that the supplies or services conform to contract requirements” in order to ensure payments are made only for services that meet performance standards specified in the contract.

1.2 Partnering

Effective partnering and establishing a positive relationship between the Government and the Contractor is essential in fulfilling a performance-based requirement. The Government’s relationship with the Contractor should be one that promotes a strong and positive business alliance to achieve mutually beneficial goals, such as timely delivery and acceptance of high-quality services through the use of efficient business practices. Business relationships should seek to create a cooperative environment to ensure effective communication between the parties. Teamwork, cooperation, and good-faith performance are important for meeting mission objectives and resolving conflicts and problems. Each party should clearly understand the goals, objectives, and needs of the other. It is essential that the Government and the Contractor work together as a team to communicate expectations, agree on common goals, develop a common understanding of measurable standards, and identify and address problems early in the contract to achieve desirable outcomes.

2. Roles and Responsibilities

The Government’s key roles and responsibilities for performance assessment are as follows:

FSC Management and Facility Services (FMFS) Branch Head. The FMFS Branch Head provides direct supervision of SPARs, PARs, Spec Writers, etc assigned to the FMFS Branch. The FMFS branch head is responsible for ensuring adequate funding and staffing to support the specification development, contract management, and performance assessment function of the branch as well as all personnel management responsibilities. The COR and PAR are assigned for this contract.

Facilities Support Contract Manager (FSCM). The FSCM is the overall technical lead for the management of Facility Support Contract requirements from cradle to grave.

Contracting Officer (KO). The ACO and/or PCO assigned to the contract. The KO has final responsibility for Contractor PA per FAR Part 42—Contract Administration and Audit Services, non-conformance modifications, and unilateral determination of incentives.

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The COR is responsible for monitoring the Contractor’s technical compliance and progress based on the contract requirements specified in the PWS and in accordance with the PAP. The COR performs a variety of contract administration duties that includes oversight of PA, documenting and rating Contractor performance, reviewing invoices, and acceptance of work.

Senior PAR (SPAR). The SPAR is responsible for coordinating efforts of multiple PARs assigned to this contract. The SPAR reviews PA schedules and PA documentation for sufficiency and consistency of oversight.

Performance Assessment Representative (PAR). The PAR is assigned as a Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) / Subject Matter Expert (SME) to the COR to perform duties as the on-site representative who assesses Contractor performance. The PAR periodically observes Contractor performance, reviews delivered services, reviews quality management corrective actions, periodically assesses and documents Contractor performance on Performance Assessment Worksheets (PAWs) and the Monthly Performance Assessment Summary (MPAS), and communicates findings as necessary with the Contractor, Senior PAR (SPAR), and Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

Note: Throughout NAVFAC policy, processes, and training, the term Performance Assessment Representative (PAR) refers to anyone responsible for conducting assessments of a NAVFAC administered Facility Support Contract. The term PAR will be used in reference to any individual assigned as a TPOC/SME to provide support to the COR, including as a collateral duty of other PWD or customer personnel, regardless of billet. All personnel assigned these duties must follow the guidance and direction provided to PARs.

Performance Assessment Board (PAB). The PAB is comprised of key technical and administrative personnel appointed in writing by the KO. The PAB will convene on a regular basis to review Contractor performance documentation for the prior evaluation period, and prepare and forward a summary report of findings and recommendations to the KO. The PAB makes recommendations for CPARS and provides input for the determination of contract incentives, if applicable. Details of PAB membership and the process for convening the PAB are provided in paragraph 11.4 below.

3. Training

To effectively implement the PA Program, individuals who monitor the Contractor’s performance should be experienced in the annex/sub-annex areas for which they are assigned and adequately trained. Mandatory training standards for all personnel performing PA of NAVFAC contracts are specified in BMS B-14.3, Performance Assessment. Additionally, safety training requirements are detailed in BMS B-14.18, FSC Safety and training for those assigned as CORs is promulgated by NFAS 1.602 and detailed in NAVFAC Instruction 4200.1.

CORs assigned to provide oversight of this contract must meet the applicable training requirements and must be appointed in writing by the KO per BMS S-18.3.6. PARs providing support as TPOC/SME for the COR must meet the applicable training requirements and must be assigned in writing by per BMS S-18.3.6 and B-14.3.

4. Safety

Proper oversight of Contractor safety is an integral part of effective performance assessment. The PAR must ensure that the Contractor is in compliance with safety requirements specified in Spec Item 2.9 of the contract. The PAR should be present during any local Safety briefings. If the PAR observes a violation of any safety requirements by the Contractor, the PAR should:

Report the safety hazard resulting from unsafe acts or conditions, defective tools, materials, or equipment used by the Contractor to the COR.

When imminent danger is apparent (where, if the hazard is not immediately corrected, there is a high probability that a serious accident will occur, life will be in danger or there will be extensive property damage), immediately inform the Contractor and request immediate action is taken to correct the hazard. If the Contractor does not voluntarily take corrective action, require the Contractor to stop work and immediately notify the COR.

Further detail of safety assessment procedures is provided in paragraph 10.4.3 below.

5. Security

The PAR should become familiar with all security requirements specified in Spec Item 2.8.7 of the contract and report any observed violations to the KO.

6. Submittals

The PAR should review reports and other submittals identified in Section F to ensure they comply with applicable requirements and specifications.

6.1 Quality Management Plan Submittal

The Quality Management System Pre-Performance Review Checklist, Attachment C, should be used for the review of the Contractor’s QM Plan submittal and as a guideline for discussion of the Contractor’s QMS during the post-award kickoff/pre-performance conference. The PAR, SPAR, Contractor Quality Manager and Project Manager, and any applicable subcontractor quality representatives should sign off on the QMS review checklist.

6.2 Accident Prevention Plan Submittal

Per BMS B-14.18, FSC Safety, the FMFS Pre-Performance Safety Checklist should be used for the review of the Contractor’s Accident Prevention Plan submittal (including Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) and Occupational Risk and Compliance Plans and Programs) and as a guideline for discussion of the Contractor’s Safety Program during the post-award kickoff/pre-performance conference. The PAR should coordinate with the local command Safety Representative for assistance in review of Contractor’s APP. The PAR, SPAR, Contractor Site Safety and Health

Officer (SSHO) and Project Manager, and any applicable subcontractor safety representatives should sign off on the Safety review checklist. The Contractor must submit and have an approved APP before any work may begin on site. Additionally, new or revised AHAs must be submitted and reviewed at the beginning of each work phase, when new hazards are identified, or when a new work crew is brought on site.

7. Meetings

The PAR should attend and be prepared for required meetings, including partnering sessions. The PAR should be familiar with the Spec Items in Annex 2 titled “Required Conferences and Meetings” and “Partnering.” The FSC Partnering process is addressed in BMS B-14.16.

8. Methods of Assessment (MOA)

The PAR will periodically assess services for conformance to contract performance objectives and standards using the following MOAs:

Periodic Sampling (PS) – requires a pre-determined plan for assessing a portion of the work, using sample size and frequency at the applicable assessment level.

Validated Customer Comments (VCC) – consists of customers observing the performance of services they have received and using a pre-determined procedure to provide feedback and/or report observations to the PAR for validation.

Unscheduled Visits (UV) – impromptu assessments of performance standards and objectives whenever practical.

Customer’s Evaluation (CE) – consists of collected survey data of Contractor performance from the customer’s perspective through the use of a feedback form.

The MOAs used for assessment of each performance objective and standard are identified within the FAP included in Attachment A.

9. Quality Management System (QMS)

When the Government’s assessment of the Contractor’s performance reveals that the quality management efforts are not effective in ensuring performance objectives and standards are achieved, further action is required. The PAR will conduct a review of the Contractor’s QMS processes and quality inspection and surveillance records for the work item(s) where deficiencies are noted to validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the Contractor’s QMS.

For QMS to be considered acceptable, the Contractor must demonstrate to the Government through quality management and QC corrective and preventive actions that the risk of failure to meet performance standards has been satisfactorily mitigated.

Further detail of the QMS review process is provided within the assessment procedures in paragraph

10.4 below.

10. Performance Assessment Process

10.1 Post-Award Planning

Performance Assessment personnel should review and understand the final contract requirements, including any amendments made during the solicitation period, paying particular attention to performance objectives and standards and any changes in the scope of work. Performance Assessment personnel should also review the Contractor’s technical proposal received in response to the solicitation and initial submittals, such as the QMS program (including Quality Management Plan), Accident Prevention Plan (including Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) and Occupational Risk and Compliance Plans and Programs), list of key personnel and employee listing.

Performance Assessment personnel should also meet with customer representatives to review details of the contract and discuss the process for reporting and handling of customer comments and review the contract requirements for partnering and the process described in BMS B-14.16, FSC Partnering, to be prepared for these meetings.

10.2 Scheduling Assessments

Performance Assessment personnel should develop a planned assessment schedule based upon factors such as selected MOAs, Contractor’s recurring performance schedule, population of work, and local priorities and conditions. Certain work requirements may necessitate increased assessment based on performance risk considerations, e.g., services that are mission critical or have life safety impacts. Increased assessment may be conducted by adding AL2 or AL3 assessments or by targeting specific samples during routine AL1 assessment. Risk is measured based on two things:

the likelihood (or probability) and event will occur and the consequence (or impact) if the event does occur.

The FAP, Attachment A, along with the starting point for assessments based on risk determination should be compared against the Contractor’s work schedules as applicable to develop the initial assessment schedule. This schedule may be adjusted when required based on Contractor performance as detailed within the assessment procedures in paragraph 10.4 below.

10.3 Non-recurring Task Orders

Non-recurring Task Orders (TO) require 100% assessment. This means that all TOs must be verified as satisfactorily complete prior to payment. For EMALL Task Orders, verification is performed by the customer through the validation of the credit card payment and acceptance in EMALL. EMALL orders that involve high-risk evolutions will be indicated as “HIGH RISK” in the EMALL short description. The customer must notify the COR by email or phone immediately upon ordering a high-risk Non-recurring TO. The COR will schedule appropriate safety oversight for these evolutions. For all other Non-recurring TOs, validation is the responsibility of PA personnel.

Scheduling of assessments must be planned based on the nature of the work (i.e. simple, short duration tasks performed at a single location vs. complex work performed over a longer period at multiple locations) and added to the assessment schedule after TO award.

10.4 Assessment Procedures

Every assessment must be documented on a Performance Assessment Worksheet (PAW) using the form provided in Attachment B. The assessment procedures based on the scheduled level of assessment performed are detailed below.

10.4.1 AL1 Assessments

The flowchart in Figure 1 below and corresponding descriptions shown below detail the performance assessment process used by the PAR to observe, assess, and document Contractor’s performance for 2-digit Spec Items (AL1).

Figure 1. Performance Assessment Process for Assessment Level 1 (AL1)

Step 1: Assess Performance at AL1 – This is the typical starting point of assessment. Assess the Contractor’s performance using the MOA, frequencies, and sample sizes indicated at AL1 of the FAP. The starting point may include additional PA at lower assessment levels for mission critical, safety, or environmental related services as determined based on the risk assessment performed during post-award planning. A Performance Assessment Worksheet (PAW) must be used for each assessment indicating this is an AL1 assessment. A PAW is the form used to document and report Government observations and rate Contractor performance.

Step 2: Defect(s) Found – The PAR should evaluate the Contractor’s performance of work looking for both failures to comply with performance objectives and standards as well as instances of value-added services or work that exceeds performance standards. Any observation of work that fails to meet any of the specified performance standards will be documented as a defect. Instances of non-conforming work discovered during unscheduled visits (UV) should also be documented as defects.

Where customer comments are received (VCC), all alleged defects must be evaluated within a reasonable time to validate that the performance standards were not met. Documentation will be completed using the Customer Comment Record, Attachment D. Documentation of UVs will be completed on a PAW. DECISION: If a defect is found, continue. If not, jump to Step 12.

Step 3: Document and Notify Contractor – Document any observed negative performance that fails to meet contract performance standards with supporting narrative on the Performance Assessment Worksheet (PAW). If defects are found, the PAR will forward a copy of the PAW to the Contractor. The Contractor shall sign and return the PAW within the specified timeframe to acknowledge receipt of the document. The Contractor’s signature does not constitute agreement with the Government’s assessment, it merely acknowledges that the Contractor has been notified of a Government observed defect. Should the Contractor disagree with the Government’s observations, discussions should be conducted to reach a common understanding of performance objectives and standards.

Step 4: Rework if Necessary – In the case of unsatisfactory or non-performed work, the Government may, at its option, allow the Contractor an opportunity to correct by reperformance at no additional cost to the Government. Rework shall be completed within the timeframe specified in Section E, Consequences of Contractor’s Failure to Perform Required Services clause of the contract.

Step 5: Defect(s) Warrant Evaluation of QMS? – Defects warrant evaluation of QMS if: 1) they are “Significant”, 2) a “Trend” has been established, or 3) the work is not considered “Substantially Complete”. Significant defects include the Contractor’s failure to meet performance objectives and standards that result in damage to the Government, or incomplete major or critical work items.

Significant defects are subjective and should be discussed in initial partnering sessions with the Contractor. Trends are defects that may be considered minor but are recurring and have not been corrected through the Contractors QMS. Trends are typically defects found in the same or similar work requirements repeated consistently over several periods of the assessment frequency.

Substantially complete means that the performance standard is fully met except for minor or trivial non-conformances per FAR 46.407. A service will be judged to be fully conforming to the contract performance standards if the nonconformance is minor or trivial and there is no omission of essential work, and approximately 95% of the total work (population) assessed meets the performance standard. Substantial completion can be measured based on the total work requirement being assessed or based on any one element of work performance. DECISION: If QMS evaluation is warranted, continue. If not, jump to Step 14.

Step 6: Evaluate QMS – The PAR should evaluate the Contractor’s QMS to verify proper controls are in place to ensure the delivery of quality services. The PAR should follow the QMS In-Process Review Checklist, Attachment E, and document findings on this form. This review should begin with a focus on the Spec Items and/or location where defects have been found as opposed to a complete audit of the Contractor’s QMS (use Parts A & B of the checklist). The evaluation should identify corrective actions the Contractor is taking for specific discrepancies and identify any QMS changes the Contractor is implementing to preclude systemic problems, avoid repeat discrepancies, and regain Quality Control (QC). If the initial evaluation identifies deficiencies in the Contractor’s QMS with insufficient planned corrective actions or QMS changes, or, if corrective actions and QMS changes planned during previous QMS reviews have been ineffective, then broaden the evaluation to a more comprehensive review of the Contractor’s QMS program (use Parts C through F of the checklist).

Step 7: Is QMS Acceptable? – The Contractor must demonstrate to the Government that they have taken corrective actions and identified QMS changes to preclude systemic problems, avoid repeat discrepancies, and regain QC. QMS is considered “Acceptable” if the Contractor’s actions will satisfactorily reduce the risk of continued failure to meet performance standards. DECISION: If QMS is unacceptable, continue. If QMS is acceptable, jump to Step 10.

Step 8: Performance Assessment Rating is Unsatisfactory – If the Contractor’s QMS is unacceptable, then the PAR should document all findings, including a summary of the findings associated with the Contractor’s QMS, on the PAW. The PAR should rate the Contractor Unsatisfactory in accordance with the evaluation ratings definitions included in the PAB Rating Summary. The PAR should also document recommendations for withholding of payment on the PAW for non-conforming services when defects cannot be corrected by reperformance.

Step 9: Add a lower Assessment Level for Spec Item and/or Location deficiencies – When the Contractor’s performance is Unsatisfactory at AL1 and QMS is Unacceptable, additional PA at Assessment Level 2 or 3 (AL2 or AL3) should be conducted for the Spec Item and/or location deficiencies as shown in Figure 3. [End of this assessment]

Step 10: Recommend withholding if necessary – Even if the QMS is acceptable and the Contractor has implemented or planned appropriate corrective actions, withholdings may still be warranted. The PAR should document recommendations for withholding of payment on the PAW for non-conforming services when defects cannot be corrected by reperformance.

Step 11: Performance Assessment Rating is Marginal or Unsatisfactory – The PAR shall document all findings, including a summary of the findings associated with the Contractor’s QMS evaluation, on the PAW. The PAR should rate the Contractor Marginal or Unsatisfactory in accordance with the evaluation ratings definitions included in the PAB Rating Summary. The PAR should continue sampling the size identified as “Normal” in the FAP at AL1. [End of this assessment]

Step 12: Document Assessment – Document results of assessment particularly noting how it was validated that performance complied with contract requirements and detailing any instances of value-added services or work that exceeds contract performance standards, with supporting narrative on the PAW.

Step 13: Performance Assessment Rating is Satisfactory or Higher – If the Contractor has performed all work in accordance with the performance objectives and standards, then a performance rating of Satisfactory or higher should be assigned. The PAR should rate the Contractor Satisfactory, Very Good, or Exceptional in accordance with the evaluation ratings definitions included in the PAB Rating Summary. Jump to Step 15.

Step 14: Performance Assessment Rating is Satisfactory – The PAR shall document all findings, including details of the failures to comply with performance objectives and standards on the PAW.

Per the evaluation ratings definitions included in the PAB Rating Summary, Satisfactory is defined as "contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory." Therefore, the PAR should rate the Contractor Satisfactory and continue sampling the size identified as “Normal” in the FAP at AL1. [End of this assessment]

Step 15: Positive Trend Established? – If the Contractor has established a trend of Satisfactory, Very Good or Exceptional performance, repeated consistently over several periods of the assessment frequency, the PAR should consider sampling at the reduced level (Jump to Step 17). If a trend has not yet been established the PAR should continue normal sampling.

Step 16: Continue “Normal” Sampling – The PAR should continue sampling the size identified as “Normal” in the FAP at AL1. [End of this assessment]

Step 17: Consider “Reduced” Sampling – The PAR should adjust sampling to the size identified as “Reduced” in the FAP at AL1. [End of this assessment]

Figure 2. Performance Assessment Process for Assessment Level 2 or 3 (AL2 or AL3)

Step 1: Assess Performance at AL2 or AL3 – Start additional assessment(s) at a lower level if the rating on PAW 1 was Unsatisfactory and QMS was unacceptable. Certain work requirements may necessitate normal assessment at AL2 or AL3 based on performance risk considerations, e.g., services that are mission critical or have life safety impacts. Assess the Contractor’s performance using the MOA, frequencies, and sample sizes indicated at the appropriate assessment level, e.g., AL2 or AL3 of the FAP.

Step 2: Defect(s) Found – If the Contractor has performed all work in accordance with the performance objectives and standards, then a performance rating of Acceptable should be assigned.

The PAR will document any instances of value-added services or work that exceeds performance standards with supporting narrative on the Performance Assessment Worksheet (PAW). When the assessed work fails to comply with performance objectives and standards, the PAR will document the defect on the PAW and notify the Contractor. Instances of non-conforming work discovered during unscheduled visits (UV) should also be documented as defects. Where customer comments (VCC) are received, all alleged defects must be evaluated within a reasonable time to validate that the performance standards were not met. Documentation will be completed using the Customer Comment Record, Attachment D. Documentation of UV will be completed on a PAW. DECISION:

If defect is found, continue. If not, jump to Step 12.

Step 3: Document and Notify Contractor – Document instances of value-added performance that exceeds contract performance standards, and negative performance that fails to meet contract performance standards, with supporting narrative on the PAW. If defects are found the PAR will forward a copy of the PAW to the Contractor. The Contractor shall sign and return the PAW within the specified timeframe to acknowledge receipt of the document. The Contractor’s signature does not constitute agreement with the Government’s assessment, it merely acknowledges that the Contractor has been notified of a Government observed defect. Should the Contractor disagree with the Government’s observations, discussions should be conducted to reach a common understanding of performance objectives and standards.

Step 4: Rework if Necessary – In the case of unsatisfactory or non-performed work, the Government may, at its option, allow the Contractor an opportunity to correct by re-performance at no additional cost to the Government. Rework shall be completed within the timeframe specified in Section E, Consequences of Contractor’s Failure to Perform Required Services clause of the contract.

Step 5: Defect(s) Warrant Evaluation of QMS? – Defects warrant evaluation of QMS if 1) they are “Significant”, 2) a “Trend” has been established, or 3) the work is not considered “Substantially Complete”. Significant defects include the Contractor’s failure to meet performance objectives and standards that result in damage to the Government, or incomplete major or critical work items.

Significant defects are subjective and should be discussed in initial…
