The BIA Past Performance Questionnaire is a critical document used in federal government RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs to evaluate a contractor's past performance. It requires both the contractor and client to provide detailed information. The contractor completes sections on firm details, work performed (prime, sub, JV), contract information (number, type, title, dates, prices), and a project description, including its relevance to the current submission. The client then completes sections regarding their role, the completion date, and their signature. The core of the questionnaire involves the client rating the contractor's performance across various categories: Quality, Schedule/Timeliness, Customer Satisfaction, Management/Personnel/Labor, Cost/Financial Management, and Safety/Security. Adjective ratings (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, Not Applicable) are defined to guide evaluation. Clients are also asked to provide narrative responses on strengths, weaknesses, or other comments, and to indicate if they would rehire the firm. This questionnaire is submitted by the offeror to the BIA, which may verify information directly with the client.
