Quality Performance: “This firm is synonymous with the words quality and dependability. The contractor always meets or exceeds contract specifications, including all government and industry standards. ………… They are also quick to provide alternative solutions that are cheaper or quicker to perform yet still meet all contractual and legal requirements. Quality is never compromised, even on issues where, upon inspection, the problem is vastly larger and/or more complex from an environmental standpoint than was initially envisioned……….The contractor stands firmly behind all their work and never considers their work complete until every last detail is satisfactory to the user. Their reputation for quality is unsurpassed.”

Cost Performance: “Based on submittals under their contracts, estimated fees have been competitive with proposals from other entities. ………. The continued existence of this firm is ensured by their abilities to minimize costs and maximize profitability while producing quality services.”

Delivery Performance: “As indicated previously, the nominee is providing oversight and management of over 45 individual task orders for work ranging in fees from less than $10,000 to over $800,000 and total revenues greater than $10 million. …………. This firm’s management approach requires monthly task order status summaries which track work scope versus project costs. ………… To-date, this approach has met or exceeded government customer needs for the contract (based on contract performance ratings issued). This company does things right and they do them right the first time.”
