PSM_-_Contractor_Audit_Form.pdf

This is a Contractor Audit Form developed by the City of Lakeland's Risk Management and Purchasing Department, applicable to the Annual Substation Herbicide Treatment contract opportunity with Lakeland Electric (LE) in Florida. The form is used to evaluate contractor performance and compliance across multiple audit categories, with fields for documenting the contractor name, audit date, project identification, and work location. The audit instrument addresses various risk management and operational metrics, including EMR (Experience Modification Rate) assessment, to ensure contractors meet the city's standards for service delivery and safety compliance on vegetation management projects at LE substations.

The herbicide treatment contract solicitation seeks to secure economical pricing from a qualified Vegetation Management Contractor to provide semi-annual bare-earth herbicide treatments at multiple Lakeland Electric substations and related areas. The contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewals available upon mutual consent. Services must be performed safely with results meeting aesthetic standards appropriate for public-facing utility facilities. The audit form serves as a quality assurance mechanism to monitor contractor performance throughout the contract period and evaluate compliance with established operational and safety requirements.
