(b) Are costs appropriate considering current progress of work? (c) Are required reports up to date? For cost reimbursement contracts or task orders, the COR�s review of invoices shall be documented by completion of a Contractor Invoice Review Form (Enclosure (2)).� 2.3.17 Notify the Contracting Officer of questioned costs or issues.� As required, assist the Contracting Officer in resolving questioned costs or issues with the Contractor.� 2.3.18 Accept the services as the official Government representative.� 2.3.19 Use appropriate methods for contract surveillance. 2.3.20 Understand contract invoicing requirements.� TheCOR shall ensure that all WAWF Invoices are processed in a timely manner so that prompt payment due dates are met.� Prior to acceptance of a WAWF invoice, the processing official shall obtain approval from the cognizant activity Department Head that the payment request is appropriate.� This can be done by having the activity Department Head sign a DD250 (or provide an e-mail to the Contractor) for uploading into WAWF with the invoice.� When the WAWF invoice comes up in the WAWF system, the processing official can then see that approval has already been given by the activity Department Head. 2.3.21 Immediately alert the Contracting Officer of any unusual performance problems.� If a corrective action plan is approved by the Contracting Officer, the COR shall monitor the implementation and effectiveness of that corrective action plan.� In uncertain situations, the COR shall always seek advice from the Contracting Officer, as prudent, before acting. 2.3.22 Continually monitor the quantity of services provided under each CLIN/SLIN and (if applicable) task order.� Advise the Contracting Officer if it appears that service quantities may be exhausted before the end of the performance period, or if quantities for services have been ordered but will not be received by the end of the performance period. 2.3.23 Perform administrative duties including maintaining files which support the actions performed as a COR.� The COR shall respond to all contract correspondence in a timely manner.� Contract files shall include a conforming copy of the contract, all modifications, a conforming copy of the Contractor�s Technical Proposal, all surveillance reports, each CDR (including the Contractor�s response/rebuttal), any contract-related correspondence, a contract log or COR diary, all telephone conversation and email records, meeting minutes, reports from Government subject matter experts, and Independent Government Cost Estimates. 2.3.24 If applicable, take the necessary steps to ensure that Government property furnished to the

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. To justify an Exceptional rating, identify multiple significant events and state how they were of benefit to the Government. 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. Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government�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 was effective. To justify a Very Good rating, identify a significant event and state how it was a benefit to the Government. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified. Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. 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. To justify a Satisfactory rating, there should have been only minor problems, or major problems the Contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. 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. Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. 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. To justify Marginal performance, identify a significant event in each category that the Contractor had trouble overcoming and state how it impacted the Government. A Marginal rating should be supported by referencing the management tool that notified the Contractor of the contractual deficiency (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency report or letter). 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 a serious problem(s) for which the Contractor�s corrective actions appear or were ineffective. To justify an Unsatisfactory rating, identify multiple significant events in each category that the Contractor had trouble overcoming and state how it impacted the Government. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating. An Unsatisfactory rating should be supported by referencing the management tools used to notify the Contractor of the contractual deficiencies (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency reports, or letters).
