TECHNICAL EXHIBIT

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT SUMMARY (PRS)

1. The purpose of this exhibit is to:

1.1 List the contract requirements considered most critical to acceptable contract performance (Required Service).

These requirements are not to be construed as the only performance indicators to be utilized by the Contracting Officer in determining satisfactory performance of the contract, as Contract Discrepancy Reports (CDRs) are issued for other than performance indicators listed here. The criticality of CDRs will be determined by the Contracting Officer and a corresponding deduction for non-performance will be assessed.

1.2 Summarize or establish the standard for perfect performance required by the contract for each required service (Standard of Performance).

1.3 Establish the maximum allowable degree of deviation from perfect performance for each requirement (Acceptable Quality Level-AQL) that will be allowed by the Government before contract performance is considered unsatisfactory.

1.4 Explain the quality assurance method the Government will use for each required service to evaluate the Contractor’s performance in meeting the contract requirements (Method of Surveillance).

1.5 Show the percentage of the contract price that each listed required service represents.

1.6 Define the procedure the Government will use in reducing the Contractor’s payment if satisfactory performance is not rendered by the Contractor.

2. The Government’s primary quality assurance procedures (Method of Surveillance) are based on 100% inspection of the critical output products (required service). Some contract requirements may be surveilled using Contractor reports.

3. The criteria for acceptable and unacceptable performance under this contract shall be as follows:

3.1 Required Services surveilled by 100% inspection: When the number of defects in the Contractor’s performance discovered by the Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) exceeds the acceptable level, the Contractor shall be required to complete a CDR. The CDR requires the Contractor to explain in writing why performance was unacceptable, how performance shall be returned to acceptable levels, and how recurrence of the problem shall be prevented in the future. The criteria for non-sampled requirements were established based upon the level of performance deemed acceptable to the Government.

4. The Contractor’s performance will be compared to contract standards and Acceptable Quality Levels using the Government’s Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. If the performance of any listed required service is unsatisfactory and the poor performance is not caused by reasons beyond the control of and without fault of negligence by the Contractor, an amount of money up to the percentage cost of the required service (as stated in the fifth column of the Performance Requirements Summary Table) will be deducted from the monthly amount otherwise payable to the Contractor.

4.1 The amount of money to be deducted for unsatisfactory performance using the 100% inspection method will be computed as follows:

EXAMPLE:

IF: Quality of required service is unsatisfactory (AQL of 6.5% is exceeded), AND: The contract price is 100,000 AND: Quality of required service deduct percentage is 10%, THEN: Deduction from the monthly amount payable is computed:

Contract price per month $100,000 Deduct Percentage .10

Percent of Sample Defective .20 (1050) Deduction is $ 2,000

5. During no period of the contract performance is a larger error rate, or AQL allowed.

6. The rights of the Government and remedies described in this Performance Requirement Summary are in addition to all other rights and remedies set forth in this solicitation. Specifically, the Government reserves its rights under the Inspection of Services (FAR 52.246-04, Aug 96) and Termination for Default (FAR 52.249-8, Apr 84) clauses.

Any deduction pursuant to the PRS shall reflect the reduced value of services performed under the present contract.

The Contractor shall not be relieved of full performance of the services hereunder and may be terminated for default based upon inadequate performance of service, even if a deduction was previously taken for inadequate performance. The Government may modify the type and frequency of inspection of items.

7. The enumeration of critical services and allowable degrees of deviation from perfect performance in this Performance Requirements Summary are not intended and should in no way be construed to indicate that the Government has bargained for anything less than satisfactory performance of all Required Services by the Contractor.

8. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to reperform any or all defective work, or perform late any incomplete or nonperformance disclosed by Government inspection or customer complaint. Rework or completion of incomplete or nonperformed work disclosed during Government inspection does not relieve the Contractor of required completion time as stated within the contract. Government action for defective work or nonperformance of work discovered by customer complaint or other inspection methods will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.246-04, Inspection of Services, Aug 1996.
