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.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive or negative.

1.2.1 WATER SYSTEMS OPERATION – The KTR shall furnish all tools, labor, equipment, transportation, and materials to operate and maintain public drinking water systems at Lake O’ the Pines Project, in accordance with the following specifications.

1.2.1.1 WATER TREATMENT PLANTS – The KTR will be required to inspect, clean, service and maintain sample testing and reporting on chlorination units in accordance with the provisions of the specifications. Inspection will include a visual check of all components, pipes and electrical wiring of the treatment system for leaks, cracks, and other defects. Cleaning will include sweeping the equipment and piping to remove all insects, insect nests and webs from equipment, doors, walls and ceilings. Service of treatment units will include preparation of KTR furnished chlorine solutions.

Calcium hypochlorite (HTH) will not be used in the treatment plants. Operation and maintenance will include making the necessary adjustments in settings of treatment equipment and conducting test operating procedures to assure that properly treated potable water (meeting applicable TCEQ standards) is provided throughout the Public Water System (PWS). The KTR is required to make minor repairs to the chlorination treatment units. The contractor shall provide monthly reports including activity performed, date, meter readings, results, chlorine residual, chlorine used, and any relevant notes.

1.2.1.2 TREATMENT PLANT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE – The following general requirements are provided for proper treatment plant operations and maintenance:

1.2.1.2.2 Chlorination equipment should be operated so that continuous and effective disinfection is secured under required local conditions. Unless bacteriological and other tests indicate the need for maintaining higher minimum concentrations of residual chlorine, the following requirements will prevail during normal operations: Maintain chlorine residual of 0.2 milligrams per liter (mg/l) to 0.5 mg/l at distant points in the distribution system. The KTR must adhere to all Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) mandates concerning chlorination levels.
