Each week, contractors must sign off on task completion, and both contractor representatives and military service personnel must confirm adherence to standards.

The assessment is divided into two main categories: cost (40% weight) and combined operational factors (60% weight). Cost factors include a comprehensive evaluation of rent, janitorial services, utilities, and any contributions towards building construction. Operational factors encompass various criteria: location within specified market zones (10%), neighborhood perceptions including safety and aesthetics (15%), ease of access (10%), the proposed site’s visibility within the building (15%), 24-hour access requirements (pass/fail), parking availability and proximity for visitors and government vehicles (pass/fail), the overall building appearance (10%), compatibility with adjacent businesses (5%), signage potential (10%), and the efficiency of the floor plan (10%). High-speed internet access, while noted, does not carry a weight in scoring.
