Abstract
This study examined the Naval Facilities Engineering
Command's current use of construction contractor performance
evaluations (SF 1420) from the viewpoint of accepted control
and measurement theory. Surveys of field contract administrators,
supervisory civil engineers, field contract specialists,
and construction contractors were completed to
assess their use of and views about the evaluations.
The study concluded that: (1) NAVFAC lacks standards of
performance to describe the distinction between satisfactory,
outstanding, and unsatisfactory performances (2) Contractors
are not generally aware of the evaluation process;
(3) Evaluations are not used to provide contractors feedback;
(4) Evaluators are not well trained; (5) Evaluations
are not fully utilized; (6) The data base of evaluation
information is inadequate. The study recommends that: (1) NAVFAC issue a policy
statement to contractors to clarify the evaluations uses,
standards, and performance elements; (2) interim evaluations
be issued to provide contractors feedback; (3) contractors
receive copies of all their evaluations; (4) evaluators
receive uniform training on completion of evaluations; (5)
SF 1420 be modified to allow for a more specific evaluation.
