ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATIONOF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

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

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

QASP

FORT WORTH DISTRICT

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

(QASP)

1. INTRODUCTION

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is pursuant to the requirements listed in the performance work statement (PWS) entitled Gate Attendant Services. This plan sets forth the procedures and guidelines the government quality assurance inspector will use in ensuring the required performance standards or services levels are achieved by the contractor.

1.1 Purpose

1.1.1. The purpose of the QASP is to describe the systematic methods used to monitor performance and to identify the required documentation and the resources to be employed. The QASP provides a means for evaluating whether the contractor is meeting the performance standards/quality levels identified in the PWS and to ensure that the government pays only for the level of services received.

1.1.2 This QASP defines the roles and responsibilities of all members of the Integrated Project Team (IPT), identifies the performance objectives, defines the methodologies used to monitor and evaluate the contractor’s performance, describes quality assurance documentation requirements, and describes the analysis of quality assurance monitoring results.

1.2 Performance Management Approach

1.2.1 The PWS structures the acquisition around “what” service or quality level is required, as opposed to “how” the contractor should perform the work (i.e., results, not compliance). This QASP will define the performance management approach taken by the Government to monitor and manage the contractor’s performance to ensure the expected outcomes or performance objectives communicated in the PWS are achieved. Performance management rests on developing a capability to review and analyze information generated through performance assessment. The ability to make decisions based on the analysis of performance data is the cornerstone of performance management; this analysis yields information that indicates whether expected outcomes for the project are being achieved by the contractor.

1.2.2. Performance management represents a significant shift from the more traditional quality assurance (QA) concepts in several ways. Performance management focuses on assessing whether outcomes are being achieved and to what extent. This approach migrates away from scrutiny of compliance with the processes and practices used to achieve the outcome. A performance-based approach enables the contractor to play a large role in how the work is performed, as long as the proposed processes are within the stated constraints. The only exceptions to process reviews are those required by law (federal, state, and local) and compelling business situations, such as safety and health. A “results” focus provides the contractor flexibility to continuously improve and innovate over the course of the contract as long as the critical outcomes expected are being achieved and/or the desired performance levels are being met.

1.3 Performance Management Strategy

1.3.1 The contractor is responsible for the quality of all work performed. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary management, supervision, inspection, personnel, materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, and vehicles, except as otherwise provided within the scope of work and specifications, required to perform the specified services. The Contractor’s work and responsibility will include, but not limited to, all job planning, programming, scheduling, administration, quality control, and management necessary to accomplish the required specified services. The Contractor will ensure that all work is accomplished in accordance with the contract, all applicable laws, municipal codes, regulations and/or written directives issued by the Contracting Officer.

1.3.2 This QASP does not detail how the contractor accomplishes the work. Rather, the QASP is created with the premise that the contractor is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. It is the Government’s responsibility to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating performance. In addition, the QASP should recognize that unforeseen and uncontrollable situations may occur. The Government representative(s) will monitor performance and review performance reports furnished by the contractor to determine how the contractor is performing against communicated performance objectives. The government will make determination regarding incentives based on performance measurement metric data and notify the contractor of those decisions. The contractor will be responsible for making required changes in processes and practices to ensure performance is managed effectively. This QASP is a “living document” and the Government may review and revise it on a regular basis. However, the Government shall coordinate changes with the contractor. Updates shall ensure that the QASP remains a valid, useful, and enforceable document. Copies of the original QASP and revisions shall be provided to the contractor and Government officials implementing surveillance activities.

2. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 The Contracting Officer (KO)

The Contracting Officer (KO) is responsible for monitoring contract compliance, contract administration, and cost control and for resolving performance issues with contractor. The KO shall ensure performance of all necessary actions for effective contracting, ensure compliance with the contract terms, and shall safeguard the interests of the United States in the contractual relationship. The KO shall also assure that the contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under this contract. The KO is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the contractor’s performance.

2.2 Lake Manager

The Lake Manager will have the responsibility for completing QA monitoring forms used to document the inspection and evaluation of the contractor’s work performance. Government surveillance may occur under the inspection of services clause for any service relating to the contract. The Lake Manager’s responsibilities include:

• Designate GQAR persons

• Document daily reports, safety and inspections for contract compliance

• Conduct pre-work conference and assure performance of the contract requirements.

2.3 Government Quality Assurance Representative (GQAR)

• Conduct surveillance of ongoing contract work.

• Provide review of submittals to Lake Manager.

• Review Activity Hazard Analysis with Contractor at each phase of work to assure that hazards are accurately recognized and mitigated.

• Complete daily reports for all service periods, identifying work status, conditions and items of discussion pertaining to the contract.

• Monitor safe working conditions are always present for all personnel, both contract personnel and government personnel, GQAR personnel are authorized to immediately stop any activity considered unsafe in order to address the hazards properly.

• Monitor ongoing work for environmental considerations.

2.4 Identification of Required Performance Standards/Quality Levels

The required performance standards and/or quality levels are included in the PWS and in Attachment 1, “Performance Requirements Summary”. If the contractor meets the required service or performance level, it will be paid the monthly amount agreed on in the contract. Failure to meet the required service or performance level may result in a deduction from the monthly amount.

3. METHODOLOGIES TO MONITOR PERFORMANCE

3.1 Surveillance Techniques

In an effort to minimize the performance management burden, simplified surveillance methods shall be used by the Government to evaluate contractor performance when appropriate. The primary methods of surveillance include:

• 100% Inspection – Each month, GQAR shall review the use fee documentation.

• Unscheduled Inspections by the GQAR.

• Observation of contractor’s daily activities and progress will be conducted by COE QA personnel.

QA personnel will monitor/verify hours of work completed by the contractor. Periodic random audits will be conducted.

3.2. Potential Problem Areas where Surveillance will be emphasized:

• Supplies, materials, and equipment used by the contractor must conform to specifications.

• Work hours and work days shall be outlined within the Scope of Work.

• Contract will be monitored using 100% Quality Assurance (use fee program) and using

Government Quality Assurance Representatives (GQAR) in coordination with the Contractor’s Quality Control Representative (CQCR). Daily reports by CQCR per J 1.9. This does not mean our GQAR team has to be there continuously, but that we will provide almost continuous monitoring of the work and verification that the completed work is in contract compliance.

• Verify that the Safety Officer uses Activity Hazard Analysis. Update the AHA as required.

Contractor to provide all required PPE for safety of workers.

• Safety requirements per specification, EM385-1-1 and OSHA shall be strictly monitored.

3.3 Monitoring

The Contract Specification shall be frequently reviewed by the GQAR and the CQCR in determining the quality of work to be performed and the technical guidance for the work to be performed. The GQAR will be present at all times for all work, and the GQAR will inspect all work performed for contract compliance and issues of concern will be brought up to the CQCR for remedial action. Any questions that arise by the GQAR or the CQCR will be addressed by the KO for a final decision. The GQAR shall verify performance of this contract by onsite inspections and personal observations of ongoing work.

3.4 Customer Feedback

The contractor is expected to establish and maintain professional communication between its employees and customers. The primary objective of this communication is customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is the most significant external indicator of the success and effectiveness of all services provided and can be measured through customer complaints.

Performance management drives the contractor to be customer focused through initially and internally addressing customer complaints and investigating the issues and/or problems but the customer always has the option to communicate complaints to KO as opposed to the contractor.

Customer complaints, to be considered valid, must set forth clearly and in writing the detailed nature of the complaint, must be signed, and must be forwarded to the KO.

Customer feedback may also be obtained either from the results of formal customer satisfaction surveys or from random customer complaints.

3.5 Acceptable Quality Levels/ Allowable Deviations

The acceptable quality levels (AQLs) included in Attachment 1, Performance Requirements Summary Table, for contractor performance are structured to allow the contractor to manage how the work is performed while providing negative incentives for performance shortfalls. For certain critical activities such as those involving user fee collection and reservation system operation, the desired performance level is established at 100 percent, and minimum acceptable quality level will be based on the attached Payment Analysis and Performance Requirements Summary. Other levels of performance are keyed to the relative importance of the task to the overall mission performance.

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE DOCUMENTATION

4.1 The Performance Management Feedback Loop

The performance management feedback loop begins with the communication of expected outcomes. Performance standards are expressed in the PWS and are assessed using the performance monitoring techniques shown in Attachment 1.

4.2 Monitoring Forms

The Government’s QA surveillance, accomplished by the GQAR, will be reported using the monitoring forms in Attachments 2 and 3. The forms, when completed, will document the Government’s assessment of the contractor’s performance under the contract to ensure that the required results in accordance with the Performance Requirements Summary are being achieved.

The CQAR will retain a copy of all completed QA surveillance forms for review.

5. ANALYSIS OF QUALITY ASSURANCE ASSESSMENT

5.1 Documenting Performance.

5.1.1. Government shall use the monitoring methods cited to determine whether the performance standards/service levels/AQLs have been met. When unacceptable performance occurs, the KO shall inform the contractor. This will normally be in writing unless circumstances necessitate verbal communication.

5.1.2 When formal written communication is required, the GQAR shall prepare a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) (Attachment 4), and present it to the contractor's task manager or on-site representative.

5.1.3 The contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the CDR in writing. The CDR will specify if the contractor is required to prepare a corrective action plan to document how the contractor shall correct the unacceptable performance and avoid a recurrence. The CDR will also state how long after receipt the contractor has to present this corrective action plan to the KO. The Government shall review the contractor's corrective action plan to determine acceptability.

5.1.4 Failure to meet the AQL may result in a deduction from the monthly payment, using the deduction percentages shown in Attachment 1. Any CDRs may become a part of the supporting documentation for contract payment deductions, fixed fee deductions, award fee nonpayment, or other actions deemed necessary by the KO.

4.2 Reporting

4.2.1 Contractor Reporting Requirements:

• Provide Reports, Schedule of work and updates as required by the Contract specifications.

• Provide names of all personnel which will be working on-site.

• CQCR daily report (J 1.9) provided to the GQAR each work day, and verified by the GQCR.

• Provide Safety meetings as required by EM385-1-1 and Accident Prevention Plan.

• Provide copy of each AHA signed by all employees who were briefed on hazards.

4.3 Reviews and Resolution

4.3.1 The KO may require the contractor’s project manager, or a designated alternate, to meet with the KO and other Government personnel as deemed necessary to discuss performance evaluation. The KO will define a frequency of in-depth reviews with the contractor, including appropriate self-assessments by the contractor;

however, if the need arises, the contractor will meet with the KO as often as required or per the contractor’s request.

The agenda of the reviews may include:

• Monthly performance assessment data and trend analysis

• Issues and concerns of both parties

• Projected outlook for upcoming months and progress against expected trends, including a corrective action plan analysis

• Recommendations for improved efficiency and/or effectiveness

4.3.2 This contract shall be monitored by the Government using the unscheduled inspections, while the use fee program documentation will use the 100% inspection technique. Any areas of performance which have not been sufficiently completed will be identified and the contractor will be responsible to provide mitigation of deficiencies until meeting contract specifications.

4.4 Payment Analysis

4.4.1 Definitions

4.4.1.1 Allowable Deviation. The allowable deviation is the allowable margin of error allowed the Contractor under the Unscheduled Inspection method. If the total number of written warnings per inspection period (Invoice Period, unless otherwise specified) is equal to or greater than the deviation level, the services will be considered unsatisfactory.

4.4.1.2 Contract Percent. Contract percent are the percentages of the total invoice amount assigned to each job element.

4.4.1.3 Unscheduled Inspection. Unscheduled Inspection is a surveillance method consisting of impromptu evaluations of contract requirements. As the name implies these inspections are conducted whenever the inspector determines. During a normal month a minimum of two inspections will be conducted.

4.4.1.4 Deductions. Deductions will be made when the number of written warnings equals or exceeds the allowable deviation level.

4.4.2. Payment Analysis

4.4.2.1 Monitoring. Inspection of all services performed will be accomplished by unscheduled inspections performed by Government Personnel or by 100% inspection for use fee program. Quality assurance inspections may be documented by the use of standardized inspection forms signed by the government inspector.

Both Government and Contractor will receive a copy of each completed inspection form.

4.4.2.2 Deductions. For the purpose of deductions one third of the monthly invoice price will be assigned to gate attendant duties for those attendants performing both park and gate attendant duties. Deduction of the entire contract percent for an element item will be made whenever the allowable deviation is exceeded during an invoice period.

EXAMPLE:

a. Total monthly invoice amount for a contract is $1500.00

b. Inspection item is Absenteeism.

c. Allowable Deviation is two (2) inspector written warnings.

d. Contractor is still (a second time during an invoice period) found to be absent from the gatehouse without prior approval.

e. Contract percent for job element is 5%.

f. Deduction from monthly invoice will be 5% of $1500.00 or $75.00.

($1500.00 x .05 = $75.00

$1500.00 - $75.00 = $1425.00 paid to contractor)
