Performance of Work Requirements Summary

1. The purpose of this attachment is to:

a. List the contract requirements considered most critical to acceptable contract performance.

b. Show, where applicable, the maximum allowable degree of deviation from perfect performance for each requirement that shall be allowed by the Government before contract performance is considered unsatisfactory.

c. Define the procedure the Government shall use in reducing the CONTRACTOR’s monthly payment if satisfactory performance is not rendered.

2. The Government’s quality assurance procedures are based on actual performance of the contract and all areas will be reviewed periodically, (e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, etc.).

3. The criteria for acceptable and unacceptable performance are as follows:

a. Contract requirements. The criteria for requirements are the level of performance deemed acceptable to the Government.

b. If the quality of work does not comply with the contract requirements, the COR will initiate and the CONTRACTOR shall be required to complete a Contract

Discrepancy Report (CDR).

c. The CDR will require the CONTRACTOR to explain in writing why performance was unacceptable, how performance will be returned to an acceptable level, and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented in the future. The

CONTRACTOR will not be paid for services not rendered IAW the standards set for in this contract.

d. If the level of performance is deemed unacceptable to the Government concurrent with two unsatisfactory ratings, monthly payment will be reduced for unsatisfactory performance by the percentage as shown in the chart below:
