Schedule Control: Evaluate the contractor’s adherence to completion schedule.

Performance: The contractor will be evaluated as to the workmanship and adherence to the statement of work.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

(Outstanding). Indicates performance clearly exceeds contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains few minor problems for which corrective actions appear highly effective.

(Satisfactory). Indicates performance clearly meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains some minor problems for which the corrective actions appear satisfactory.

(Unsatisfactory). Indicates the contractor failed to satisfy contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The area of evaluation contains serious problems for which the corrective actions were ineffective.

DOCUMENTATION

Documentation used to perform surveillance will consist of random government inspections and inspection records, as well as the evaluation of final work product delivery by the project COR/COTR.
