7. Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

7.1 Objective: This QASP has been developed to the Government in providing effective and systematic surveillance for the fire watch services contract. The QASP provides the methodology by which a Contractor’s performance will be monitored to determine compliance with standard performance objectives. The plan is designed so that surveillance is limited to that which is necessary to verify that the Contractor is performing the services satisfactorily and relates directory to performance objectives of the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

7.2 Method of Surveillance: Surveillance of Contractor performance in the method will be used by the Government to determine whether the Contractor is effectively and efficiently complying with all terms and conditions of the contract. The following surveillance methods shall be used:

Government requested number of fire watch (up to 20 fire watch).

of the time, per approved schedule Contractor/ Government agreement

available on time per the Scheduling agreement between Contractor and Government

of the time, per approved schedule.

Periodic Validation and Customer Complaint

completed initial and refresher training as required prior to standing fire watch

Customer Complaint

and present Qualification Card when requested

proper equipment as identified in this contract.

Customer Complaint

7.3 Periodic Validation. This method requires the COR and Government POC to employ a “spot check” style of evaluation based on the contractor’s schedule. Periodic validation may be conducted either on a scheduled (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) or an unscheduled basis and may be adjusted based on quality trends.

7.3.1 Failing to meet the performance threshold for any performance objectives may result in a warning, Corrective Action Request (CAR), or letter of concern from the KO.

7.3.2 Customer Complaints. The COR or Government POC will receive and investigate complaints. The COR or Government POC is responsible for initially validating customer complaints. The KO or COR will notify the contractor of any validated complaints. The KO must make final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) in cases of disagreement between the COR and the contractor. Validated customer complaints must have root cause and corrective action identification provided after notification by the KO or COR.

Evaluation and Rating: The COR will report the Contractor’s performance in each operation and rate the performance by using the form of “Contractor’s Performance Evaluation Sheet” (Attachment (3)). In case any inconsistency or deficiency is found, the TPOC will record it on the form and attach any related document to the form. The Government will rate the Contractor’s performance using the following adjectival ratings:

EXCEPTIONAL (E): The services performed by the Contractor are considered to have exceeded the performance standards described above and demonstrate a good probability of success without any problems during the remaining period of the contract.

VERY GOOD (VG): The services performed by the Contractor are considered to have satisfied the performance standards described above and demonstrate a good probability of success during the remaining period of the contract. Even if the Contractor had minor problems on its performance, the Contractor has demonstrated that it could correct such problems without any damage to the Government.

SATISFACTORY (S): The Contractor’s performance is considered to have substantially met the stated performance standards described above and demonstrates a good probability of success during the remaining period of the contract. Even if the Contractor had minor problems on its performance, the Contractor has demonstrated that it could correct such problems with minimal damage to the Government. Although some minor inconsistency or weakness exists, it can be readily corrected.

MARGINAL (M): The Contractor’s performance is considered to have partially failed meeting the stated performance standards, and the response to correct the deficiency was marginal. That is, a substantial number of the Contractor’s record responses “good,” but a deficiency or weakness exists, and it/they may be susceptible or correction through the exchange of information. There is marginal probability of success during the remaining period of the contract.

UNSATISFACTORY (U): The Contractor failed meeting one or more of the stated performance standards, and failure was considered “major.” Even if the failure was minor, the Contractor did not or could not correct the deficiency properly and/or if adversely affected the Government operation. In such a case, probability to success during the remaining period of the contract is minimal unless a proper corrective action is made.

In case the Contractor’s performance is rated either “Marginal” or “Unsatisfactory”, the Contractor shall take a corrective action(s) to all deficiencies identified 30 days before the next term begins.

Note: The COR will assess the overall rating based on all the three (3) performance standards above with comments. All three (3) factors are equally important and the comment from the TL is mandatory.
