Surveillance Methodology

The surveillance methods listed below will be used in the execution of this QASP:

100% Inspection - All key performances and deliverables will be evaluated through 100% inspection (e.g., on-site inspection, document review). The COR will document performance for each completed milestone/deliverable prior to payment, as described in the QASP.

Periodic Progress Inspection - At the COR’s discretion, periodic inspections may be conducted to evaluate progress toward and/or completion of key milestones and deliverables. The COR may complete a periodic progress inspection if s/he believes that deficiencies exist that must be addressed prior to milestone/deliverable completion.

While corrective action or re-performance will be required, if necessary, the Contractor will not be financially penalized for unacceptable performance recorded in periodic progress reports, provided that final performance evaluation of the milestone/deliverable is deemed acceptable.

Visitor/Customer Feedback - Additional feedback will be obtained through random visitor/customer feedback. To be considered valid, input must set forth clearly and in writing and details nature of the feedback. The feedback must be signed and be forwarded to the COR. The COR will maintain a summary log of all formally received customer feedback as well as a copy of each feedback in a documentation file.

Surveillance Documentation

Quality Assurance Monitoring Form - The COR will use a performance evaluation form to record evaluation of the Contractor’s performance for each deliverable in accordance with the methodology described in this QASP. The COR must substantiate, through narratives in the form all unsatisfactory ratings. Performance at the satisfactory level is expected from the Contractor. At a minimum, the evaluation form will indicate actual and scheduled delivery times and number of reviews required to achieve the final product. The COR will forward copies of all completed performance evaluation forms to the KO and Contractor within one week of performing the inspection.

Corrective Action Process - When a milestone/deliverable receives an unsatisfactory rating, the Contractor will explain, within 15 days, in writing to COR why performance was unsatisfactory, how performance will be returned to satisfactory levels, and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented in the future. Inspection of Services outlined in FAR 52.246-5 will apply: The contractor shall develop a plan for recovery.

Continuous review until performance is satisfactory. Elevate to higher level of contract management if actions fail to result in improvement. If the acceptable quality level falls below Satisfactory, additional option years may not be exercised.

KO Role in the Surveillance Process - The KO will review each performance evaluation form prepared by the COR. When appropriate, the KO may investigate further to determine if all the facts and circumstances surrounding the event were considered in the COR opinions outlined on the form. The KO may immediately discuss any unsatisfactory rating with the Contractor to assure that corrective action is promptly initiated.

Annual Performance Assessment - At the end of every year, the COR will prepare a written Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) for the KO summarizing the overall results of his/her surveillance of the Contractor’s performance during the previous 12 months. This report will become part of the formal QA documentation.

QA File - The COR will maintain a complete QA file. This file will contain copies of all performance evaluation forms and any other related documentation. The COR will forward these records to the KO at termination or completion of the contract. All performance assessment forms, attachments and working papers must be marked

“FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY/SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION - SEE FAR 2.101

AND 3.104” according to Freedom of Information Act Program, FAR 3.104, and 41 USC Sect. 423. Assessment reports may also contain information that is proprietary to the contractor. Information contained on the CPAR, such as trade secrets and protected commercial or financial data obtained from the contractor in confidence, must be protected from unauthorized disclosure. COR’s shall annotate on the assessment report if it contains material that is a trade secret, etc., to ensure that future readers of the evaluations are informed and will protect as required. Contractor performance information is privileged source selection information. It is also protected by the Privacy Act and is not releasable under the Freedom of Information Act.

Payment and Corrective Action

Satisfactory Performance - Full payment for a milestone/deliverable will be provided upon verification of overall satisfactory performance, as rated on quality and schedule.

This verification will be recorded in a performance evaluation form submitted to the KO specifying overall Contractor performance as satisfactory, very good, or exceptional for the milestone/deliverable.

Unsatisfactory Performance - If a milestone/deliverable receives an unsatisfactory rating for the quality performance standard, re-performance is required until the milestone/deliverable receives a rating of satisfactory or better. This re-performance is required regardless of cost or schedule constraints that may result from the unsatisfactory performance, unless the KO has opted to terminate the contract.

A Quality Assurance Monitoring Form has been attached to provide a sample of the minimum key elements planned for the QASP.

Additional Government surveillance activities may include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Work plan review and approval •Participation in Technical Project Planning (or equivalent) sessions •Oversight of survey & analysis activities •Oversight of field sampling activities •Oversight of all waste management functions/responsibilities •Review of all waste management documentation •Separate/split laboratory QA samples •Review and approval of meeting minutes •Review and approval of all deliverables to regulatory agencies •Review of quality control documentation •Review of project safety record •Adherence to the approved work plan
