G.8 CPARS Contractor Evaluation Factors and Rating Descriptions Contractor performance will be assessed using seven (7) evaluation factors as follows:

FACTOR: ACCOUNTABILITY

Has the contractor ensured that offenders are accurately accounted for while (1) in the facility; (2) at work assignments; (3) in all other activities outside the facility? Is the approach tailored to the geographic area? Have there been any patterns or unresolved breaches of accountability during this rating period?

Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?

FACTOR: PROGRAMS

Does the contractor have a process for assessing the individual needs of each offender to assist with their reentry into the community? Has the contractor initiated the Transitional Skills Journaling program? How well does the contractor administer the program? How effective has the process been this rating period in assisting offenders to find employment and housing, and to develop skills to prepare the offender for reentry and prevent them from returning to a criminal lifestyle? How effective and extensive is the community resources network? What are the methods or avenues taken to obtain medical or mental health treatment? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?

FACTOR: COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Does the contractor have a process for educating and interacting with the local community in order to acquire and maintain public support? What efforts have been made during this rating period to foster positive community relations? Discuss the workings and make-up of the contractor's community relations efforts.

During this rating period have there been any concerns relating to the contractor's position in the community? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?

FACTOR: SITE VALIDITY AND SUITABILITY

During this rating period, has the contractor complied with all applicable local, state, and national health, safety, environmental laws, regulations, Executive Orders, and building codes? Has the contractor maintained appropriate liability insurance? Are there any new areas of public concern within a ½ mile radius of the facility? Are zoning and occupancy permits still valid? Is the contractor's sanitation plan and maintenance plan effective? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?

FACTOR: PERSONNEL

How effective has the contractor been in ensuring competent staff have been recruited, trained, and retained? Has staff met the annual training requirements?

How well does the contractor administer the home detention program? Has the contractor ensured that offenders are accurately accounted for while on home detention? How effective has the process been this rating period in assisting offenders to find employment and to develop skills to prepare the offender for reentry and prevent them from returning to a criminal lifestyle? How effective and extensive is the community resources network? What are the methods or avenues taken to obtain medical or mental health treatment?

The Government shall consider both positive and negative attributes in the areas above and provide a written narrative for each that describes the contractor's strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions, during each of the contract's reporting periods (generally, a one-year term beginning with the start of the Base Period). Strengths equate to performance that exceeds contract requirements and show definite and measurable benefit to the Government. Weaknesses equate to performance problems that do not meet contract requirements and result in negative impact on the Government. The CPAR will include all information from facility monitoring reports and any corrective actions taken by the contractor and the effectiveness of those corrective actions taken. All applicable information up to and including the close of each monitoring conducted during the specified rating period will be included in the narrative. Based on the narrative, an adjectival rating will be assigned to each factor. Once all factors have been rated, the overall rating will be an objective rating that most accurately reflects the overall performance of the facility. In CPARS, the overall rating will be denoted as "Quality of Product or Service".

The Government will provide a detailed explanation outlining the justification for the overall rating.

In accordance with FAR Part 42, the contractor will be given an opportunity to submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information in response to an evaluation in CPARS. The ultimate conclusion on the performance evaluation is the decision of the Government.

The ratings and associated descriptions for the factors above are as follows:

Exceptional: Contractor's performance exceeds requirements of the contract in many areas. Benefits to the Government/BOP are identifiable. Minor problems may exist. Corrective actions are highly effective.

Very Good: Contractor's performance meets requirements of the contract and exceeds requirements in some areas. Benefits to the Government/BOP are identifiable. Problems may exist, but are minor. Corrective actions are effective.

Satisfactory: Contractor's performance meets contract requirements. Some minor problems exist, but the contractor has satisfactory corrective actions in place.

Marginal: Contractor's performance does not meet some of the requirements of the contract. Contractor's performance has shown there are problems resulting in a negative impact on service delivery (a negative impact on the Government). Problems are serious, but recovery is still possible. Corrective actions have shown to be marginally effective and/or not fully implemented.

Unsatisfactory: Contractor's performance fails to meet most of the requirements of the contract. Contractor's performance shows there are problems resulting in a negative impact on service delivery (a negative impact on the Government). Problems are serious, and recovery is unlikely. Corrective actions are ineffective and/or not fully implemented.
