The contractor is prohibited from using base dumpsters or other government owned/leased waste receptacles for the disposal of any solid wastes. All solid wastes shall be reclaimed, recycled, or disposed of prior to completion of work.

3.22.1.2.3. Disposal. As proof of proper disposition of solid wastes, the contractor shall provide legible weight receipts for solid waste disposed and materials recycled bearing the name, address, and phone number of the receiving facilities for every load of materials delivered. The weight ticket shall detail the type of material, weight of the material in pounds or tons, the date of the transaction, and a signature from a representative of the receiving facility. Receipts shall be submitted to the CE PM within ten (10) calendar days after the transaction.

4.0. SERVICES SUMMARY (SS). The contract service requirements are summarized in performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimally acceptable levels of service required for each requirement. The SS and the contractor’s Quality Control Plan provide information on contract requirements, the expected level of contractor performance and the expected method of government surveillance and confirmation of services provided. These thresholds are critical to mission success.

Procedures as set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance, will be used to remedy all deficiencies. The absence of any contract requirements from the SS shall not detract from its enforceability nor limit the rights or remedies of the Government under any other provision of the contract. The Government has the right to inspect all services required in the contract.

4.1. Performance Evaluation. The purpose of the Services Summary is to define performance evaluation and payment procedures. The Performance Objective (column 1) describes what the government will survey. Performance of a service will be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the Performance Threshold (PT) of the contract. When the PT is exceeded, the COR will document the performance issue in a Corrective Action Report (CAR) or a Performance Assessment Report (PAR) and provide it to the Contracting Officer to finalize it and issue the report to the contractor.

4.1.1. The Government will periodically evaluate the contractor’s performance by appointing a representative(s) to monitor performance to ensure services are received. The government representative will evaluate the contractor’s performance through inspections of reports and contractor services documentation. The Government may inspect each task as completed or increase the number of quality assurance inspections if deemed appropriate because of repeated failures or because of repeated customer complaints. Likewise, the Government may decrease the number of quality assurance inspections if performance dictates.

4.1.2. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements at no increase in contract amount. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:

- Require the contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and

- Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.

4.1.3. Failing to meet the performance threshold as outlined in the SS for any of these performance objectives in any one month period may result in an immediate Progress Meeting with the Multi-Functional Team (MFT). All remedies shall be in accordance with the FAR 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance.

4.1.4. The contractor shall have work complete and ready for inspection in accordance with all terms of the contract. The Government will perform monthly quality assurance inspections to measure overall performance and determine contract payment. Government inspect according to the appropriate surveillance method (s), to compare Contractor's performance to contract requirements and standards. When the Supervisor is not available during inspection to receive the results, acceptance or rejection of work will be made on the basis of the initial inspection.

4.2. Inspection Methods. The Government may use a variety of surveillance methods to evaluate the Contractor's performance. The Government may unilaterally change the type and frequency of inspections as it deems necessary. Both scheduled and unscheduled surveillance will be used to look at the total or parts of performance. Valid customer complaints will not be added to the defective samples found under random or planned sampling for the purposes of deductions in contract payment.

4.3. Measuring Performance. The Government will use the SS in this contract as the primary tool to measure contract performance. The American National Standard Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes (ANSI/ASQCZ1.4) will be used to determine the number of inspections and the number of allowable defects each month. Contract performance will be measured each month by comparing the number of recorded defects on the sampling guides to the number of allowable defects as determined by the acceptable quality level (AQL). Defects are the Contractor's failure to meet contract provisions, requirements and standards. One defect constitutes failure of one inspection of one service listed on the SS during an evaluation period.

4.3.1. Performance Tolerance for Random Sampling. When the method of surveillance of a service listed on the SS is random sampling, tables in ANSI/ASQCZ1.4 will be used to determine the number of allowable defects and when each service should be accepted or rejected.

4.3.2. Acceptable Performance. Contractor performance will be acceptable when all requirements have been met and the number of allowable defects (as determined above) has not been exceeded, whether random or planned sampling techniques were used.

4.3.3. Unacceptable Performance. Services listed on the SS will be unacceptable and rated defective when the number of recorded defects exceeds the allowable number of defects permitted. Defects will result when performance does not meet contract provisions, or was not IAW contract requirements and standards, or was not completed by the specified time, or was not completed in its entirety. Once a defect has been identified it remains a defect, regardless if it has been corrected.

4.4. Corrective Action Report (CAR). When a SS service is defective, the Government will issue the Contractor a CAR. The Contractor shall reply in writing by the suspense date explaining why performance was unacceptable and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented in the future. The CO will evaluate the Contractor's explanation and determine if other remedies; e.g., partial payment, or contract termination is applicable.

4.5. Re-performance of Defective Work. Except as otherwise provided by this para, the work required by the contract is of such a nature that defective or incomplete performance disclosed by Government inspection is not subject to correction by re-performance or late performance.

The Contractor shall not be required or entitled to re-perform, perform late, or otherwise correct defective work for the purpose of avoiding a defect on the day of evaluation and any applicable reduction in contract price.

4.6. Re-performance Requirements. At the sole discretion of the Government and upon notification to the Contractor, the Contractor may be required to re-perform or perform late any or all defective work. Where the Government so elects, the Contractor shall be notified promptly after inspection that specified defective work will be re-performed or performed late and completed within the re-performance period specified by the Government. In such cases, the Government will re-inspect work designated for re-performance or late performance.

4.7. Conditions of Re-performance. Re-performed work shall comply with same requirements as initial work. The requirement for re-performing defective work will not alleviate the Contractor from responsibility to perform all other work IAW the…
