All mowing and trimming must be performed in such a manner as to prevent rutting, scalping or tearing of turf or damage to Government facilities or private property. Mower decks will be set at a maximum of 3 inches and the Contractor shall set and maintain equipment to closely meet that range. The Government may add or remove vegetation or structures during the mowing period from the mowing area without additional payment to the Contractor. Road shoulder mowing shall be performed by the Contractor to the pavement edge and shall include rocky shoulder areas and trimming as necessary to provide a smooth uniform height of cut.

Contractor personnel shall properly reposition picnic tables after mowing and trimming under them.

Mowers shall be operated so clippings, residue, or gravel from mowing decks are not deposited on roadways, parking lots, sidewalks, campsites, picnic shelter or comfort station/shower building floors and entryways or bike trails. Contractor shall have proper equipment with each mowing crew and shall sweep, use a power blower or otherwise remove material deposited on those areas by their operations within 2 hours of cutting so that all facilities remain fully usable by the public and that the grass and material are not tracked into facilities.

B.2.2 TRIMMING. Grass and weeds shall be trimmed around trees, shrubs, buildings, campsites fences, poles, posts, fire hydrants, parking lot bumper blocks, boulders, and other fixed obstacles. The Contractor shall trim the borders of flower beds and in and around single or multiple trees and shrub mulched plantings. Trimming height shall match surrounding area grass heights. Re-sprouting woody stumps shall be trimmed to the same height as the stump. Trimming involves all improved grounds. All areas shall be trimmed concurrent with mowing. Damage to trees and shrubs from trimming shall be repaired by the contractor. If a plant should die or become unhealthy due to damage, the contractor will be responsible for replacing the damaged plant with a plant of same size and type. Plant replacement shall occur within 15 days of noticed damage. Herbicide may be used in place of mechanical trimming by the Contractor to reduce the cost of mechanical trimming. Contractor must provide evidence of properly licensed applicators prior to approval of herbicide use. Names of chemicals to be used and Material Data Safety Sheets must be submitted to and approved by the COR prior to any herbicide use. The amount of hand trimming and all other costs shall be included in the Contractor's bid prices.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

Purpose: This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a Government developed and applied document used to make sure that systematic quality assurance methods are used in the administration of the Performance Based Service Contract (PBSC) standards included in this contract. The intent is to ensure that the contractor performs in accordance with performance metrics set forth in the contract documents, that the Government receives the quality of services called for in the contract, and that the Government only pays for the acceptable level of services received.

1. Critical performance processes and requirements. Critical to the performance of the contract, the contractor shall provide all personnel equipment, tools, materials, supervision, transportation, other items and services necessary to perform as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The contractor shall provide accurate transaction processing to ensure that material accountability comply with safety and security requirements, in accordance with this PWS. Additionally, the contractor shall be accountable for all auditable documents, establish/maintain effective quality, and perform required within prescribed timeframes. The performance process is the timely, accurate, and thorough completion of all contract requirements.

2. Performance Standards

a. Schedule. The dates for services and the actual accomplishment of the services in accordance with the schedule will be assessed against original dates of services and milestones established for the contract.

b. Service. The services required to be performed will be assessed against the PWS detailed in the contract, for the required content, quality, timeliness, and accuracy.

c. Past Performance. In addition to schedule and services, and cost aspects of performance discussed above, pursuant to FAR 42.15, the Government will assess the contractor’s record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship, the contractor’s adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance, the contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction, and the contractor’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

3. Surveillance methods. The primary methods of surveillance used to monitor performance of this contract will include, but not be limited to: random or planned sampling, periodic inspection, Contractor Self Reporting, and validated customer complaints.

a. Random/Scheduled Monitoring. Random and/or scheduled monitoring will be conducted if and when deemed necessary by the COR to ensure compliance with the terms of the contract. Using the attached matrix the COR will determine whether the contractor is in compliance with the terms of the contract.

b. Contractor Self-Reporting. The contractor shall provide as needed status reports that document significant problems/issues and potential resolutions.

c. Customer Feedback. Customer feedback will be obtained from valid customer complaints. 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 COR by the contractor. The contractor shall maintain a log of all customer complaints as well as a copy of each complaint in a documentation file. The COR may request to review the log and/or documentation file at any time.

4. Performance Measurement. Performance will be measured in accordance with the following table:

Incentives/Disincentives:

For each item that does not meet acceptable levels, the Government may issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR). CDRs will be forwarded to the Contracting Officer with a copy sent to the contractor. The contractor must reply in writing within 5 days of receipt identifying how future occurrences of the problem will be prevented.

Based upon the contractor’s past performance and plan to solve the problem, the Contracting Officer will determine if any further action will be taken.

In accordance with the inspection of services provisions of the contract (52.212-4 (a) Inspection/Acceptance), the contractor will provide quality products in a timely manner since the Government can require the contractor, at no additional cost, to replace or correct work that fails to meet contract requirements.
