Key areas addressed include years of experience in service and contracting, instances of incomplete work, and employee details related to the project. Additionally, firms are required to list relevant past performance, emphasizing contracts completed in the last three years, particularly those involving government work.

    The Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) for Janitorial Services at Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge outlines the systematic approach for performance evaluation and monitoring of the janitorial contract. The primary goal is to ensure that cleaned areas are free from dust, debris, stains, and odors, achieving a visibly clean appearance. Performance indicators include stringent cleaning standards for restrooms, such as maintaining dispensers, cleaning fixtures and floors with approved products, managing waste removal, and ensuring no insect debris is present. Inspectors will conduct random checks, and the Contractor must address any deficiencies within seven days to avoid negative performance ratings. Should obligations not be met, a penalty in the form of a negative rating will be issued if three or more cleaning standards are missed. This plan is crucial for maintaining high cleanliness standards at government facilities and ensuring compliance with contractual obligations.
