8 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY (PRS)

The Task Order service requirements are summarized in performance objectives that relate directly to requirements. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimally acceptable levels of service required for each requirement. The PRS and the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan provide information on

Contract requirements, the expected level of Contractor performance and the expected method of

Government validation and confirmation of services provided. These thresholds are critical to mission success

8.1 Performance Requirement Summary Table

8.2 Performance Assessment and Remediation

If any work does not conform to the Base Contract or Task Order requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the work again in conformity with the Base Contract or Task Order requirements, at no increase in Task Order amount. Deficiencies shall be corrected within 24 hours of notification of non-conformance. When the defect(s) cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may require the

Contractor to take necessary action to ensure future performance to contract requirements OR reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the work performed. When performance is deemed unacceptable, as defined in the PRS, the COR will inform the Contractor’s on-site representative that performance is unacceptable and written documentation shall be provided. The Contractor shall respond to the written notice within 10 calendar days of receipt. Disputes in surveillance should be referred to the KO.

8.3 Methods of Verification

Contract performance will be assessed through periodic validation, planned inspection, and customer or public feedback. The KO or COR shall inspect by validating actual work performance, physically checking an attribute of the completed task, checking management information reports, investigating customer or public complaints, conferring with Project Staff, or otherwise inspecting the task or its results to determine whether performance meets the standards contained in this Task Order and in the Base Contract. Method of

Verification for each Performance Objective are specified below:

a) Periodic Validations: The COR may employ a “spot check” inspection and evaluation of services performed. Periodic validations will be conducted on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly, or monthly) and may be adjusted, based on quality trends.

b) Planned Inspections: This method of inspection surveillance is used by the COR when individual activities of importance or cost are performed, where the Contractor has a record of poor performance, or where services to be monitored are at several sites and can be scheduled to conserve inspection travel time.

c) Customer or Public Complaints: The COR shall perform inspections as necessary to address customer or public complaints.

8.4 Project Coordination
