PSM_-_Contractor_Audit_Form.pdf

This is a Contractor Audit Form issued by the City of Lakeland's Risk Management and Purchasing Department (RMP), designed to evaluate contractor performance on the Annual Tree Pruning & Removal Services contract. The form establishes evaluation criteria for assessing contractor compliance and performance across designated audit items, with space for recording audit results and relevant comments for each category evaluated.

The audit form does not contain pricing information, set-asides, or specific funding details. Rather, it serves as an internal assessment tool to be completed during or after contract execution to ensure the selected contractor meets the City's standards for safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. The form references EMR (Experience Modification Rate) as an audit item, indicating that worker's compensation and safety metrics are key evaluation factors for contractors performing tree pruning and removal services, which involve high-risk work in proximity to energized power lines and in public spaces requiring proper traffic control procedures.
