A.9 PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS.

For specific tasks identified in C.3.3, the agreed to completion date will be based on the estimates provided by the Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR). Progress will be tracked based on the milestone event of contractor receiving tasking from the COTR. Performance evaluation will be based on the complexity and completion of the tasking. The number of completed actions will be balanced against the quality of this output. All contractor produced documentation and procedures will comply with all major regulatory and process requirements and agency policies and procedures. Receipt and completion of tasks are tracked through email between the COTR and the contractor team lead.

The tasks the contractor shall perform are defined in Section C.3.3. Additional information about the deliverables produced from the identified tasks is listed in Table 1. The standard set for all tasks is 100% Satisfactory Completion, and 100% COTR Inspection is the surveillance method which will be utilized.

This information is detailed in Table 2 under deliverables. The performance measurements for all task will be pursuant to a performance measurement that ties performance goals and acceptable quality levels to an overall monthly Performance Rating of Good, Fair, Poor or Unacceptable. Performance measurement is further defined below.

A.9.1 Inspection and Acceptance Criteria.

Final inspection and acceptance of all work performed, reports and other deliverables will be performed at the place of delivery by the COTR.

A.9.2 Surveillance Schedule.

Specific surveillance schedules for tasks can be found in Table 2.

The surveillance staff has two components:

Contracting Officer: The primary function of the Contracting Officer, with regard to the surveillance activity, is to authorize changes to the PWS. The Contracting Officer is responsible for ensuring the completion of all work in accordance with the PWS, and the QASP provides a means to accomplish this.

The contracting Officer will rely on the COTR to provide information and recommendations.

SP4701-16-R-0042 Page 5 of 131

Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR): The COTR’s responsibility is to monitor and inspect, report, and make recommendations to the Contracting Officer regarding the quality of contractor work performed or not performed.

A.9.3 Performance Standards and Payments.

The performance will be rated each month by the COTR. These findings will be the basis for the amount paid for that month. The ratings, as described in the table below, will be based on the performance of the contractor on the timeliness and quality of the services provided using the rating scale for each criterion as shown below.

Performance measurement progress will be tracked based on the milestone event of the Contractor receiving tasking from the COTR. Performance evaluation will be based on the complexity and completion of the tasking. The number of completed actions will be balanced against the quality of this output. All contractor produced documentation and procedures will comply with all major regulatory and process requirements and agency policies and procedures. Receipt and completion of tasking is tracked through email between the COTR and the Contractor team lead.

Below are the Performance Standards that will be used in evaluating performance on a monthly basis and in determining the amount of the payment owed to the contractor.

Performance standards and ratings are designed to determine if performance exceeds, meets, or does not meet a given metric and acceptable quality level. The performance will be rated each month by the COTR. These findings will be the basis for the amount paid for that month. Note: The application of these performance ratings or failure of the Government to apply these performance ratings does not waive any of the Government’s rights to damages under this contract. The following overall ratings shall be used:

Good – Performance meets or exceeds contract requirements in terms of timeliness and quality. COTR recommends and the Contracting Officer will make a determination to pay the contract 100% of the invoice amount.

Fair – Performance meets contract requirements with either only minor performance issues or minor timeliness issues. The performance and/or timeliness issues do not adversely impact the mission of the Agency. Performance is satisfactory and has been timely.
