INSTRUCTIONS TO THE REFERENCE FOR COMPLETINGTHE PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE

Handwritten completion of this questionnaire is acceptable, if legible.

Include evaluation of contractor's performance based solely on the performance for which the contractor was/is liable.

Please do not let factors beyond the control of the contractor which have resulted in performance delays or other problems bias the evaluation of the contractor's performance.

The following is a definition of the scoring system used:

Excellent: Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

Very Good: Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory: Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the area being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were satisfactory.

Marginal: Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor did not or has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions are or were only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

Unsatisfactory: Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element being assessed contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions are or were ineffective.

In completing the questionnaire please circle a letter corresponding to your rating, or "N/A" if you are unable to provide an evaluation for any area.

Please provide clear and concise narrative explanations (both positive and negative) for your answers. This is especially important for any rating above or below “satisfactory”. If more space is needed than is provided, you may attach additional sheets.
