2
Why?

Recent up-tick in poor contractor performance
 Contractors quality of product is less than desired.
 Performance schedules are not being met.
 Safety Violations & Miscues
 Project Management is Lax or not on site enough
 Submittals not properly filled out or even not followed

Impact of Poor
Performance

Contract Delays (Missed completion dates)

Increased costs (Govt. & Contractor)

Work Stoppage

Possible loss of future projects for Contractors (PPIRS inputs)

Frustrated/Angry Customer (Warfighter)

MISSION Hurdles & Potential Failures!!!!

Examples of
Performance Issues

Equipment Operators not being certified to operate equipment

Ceiling Lights Fall from sky – Fortunately nobody sitting below!

Roofing work with multiple OSHA violations – Fines levied!

Interior Tile – Multiple applications & Sub Contractor swap

Contractor not on site for extended periods (Working other
projects)

Bad Concrete Pours – Re-accomplishment (Time & Money)

Misinterpretation of SOW (Communication breakdown)

Contractor not prepared to start after contract award

Worksite is a mess (FOD)

USAF Internal Issues
 Poorly
developed SOW’s
 Undefined
requirement(s)
 Understaffed
Project Management Team,
resulting in shortcomings with oversight
 Base
Access & employees with prior’s!!!!!
 Communication

between all parties
Workers talking with customers (Yikes)!
Integrity - Service - Excellence

What is the Fix?

Prime Contractor needs to take ownership of their project

Ensure all workers are certified and licensed as applicable

Anticipate Base access requirements (Plan Ahead)

Stick to YOUR Performance schedule! (Govt. enforce it)

Government Side of House:
 Train up our Project Mgt. Teammates on project oversight
 Define our requirements better (Improve SOW’s)
 Hold the contractor to their progress Schedule
 Turn paperwork around quicker

Please note what the approved comments are. For example the
approval may be contingent upon a different model, type or thickness
than what was in the submittal.

Environmental

Service Stations (tank pipe leaks), Dental offices (mercury
contamination/silver contamination from x-ray equipment), Auto
Hobby shop/Laboratories require environmental sampling to ensure
cleanup is complete.

Facility Building Materials:
 Building materials can contain toxic that require abatement or
special consideration before demolition: Asbestos containing
materials (transit siding/pipe insulation/floor tile/sheet
rock/ceiling tiles/roof material.) These materials must be
sampled and properly abated using certified contactors.

Lead Base Paint Issues: must be managed and abated in
accordance with OSHA standards.
 Pesticide Contamination: Chlordane (termite pesticide)/DDT
require extensive cleanup efforts of grounds for residential clean
closure standards.
Integrity - Service - Excellence
16
Environmental

Prior to, and During Construction: Nation Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements must be considered.
 Depending on size of construction area Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plans for the site are required with best management
practices in place to prevent storm water runoff.

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) compliance
inspections may routinely occur especially on projects that require
asbestos abatement notifications, and storm water pollution
prevention plans submission.

Safety

Provide a workplace free from serious recognized hazards and
comply with standards, rules and regulations issued under the
OSH Act.

Examine workplace conditions to make sure they conform to
applicable OSHA standards.

Make sure employees have and use safe tools and equipment
and properly maintain this equipment.

Use color codes, posters, labels or signs to warn employees of
potential hazards. Post, at a prominent location within the
workplace, the OSHA poster (or the state-plan equivalent)
informing employees of their rights and responsibilities.

Establish or update operating procedures and communicate
them so that employees follow safety and health requirements.

Safety

Employers must provide safety training in a language and
vocabulary workers can understand.

Employers with hazardous chemicals in the workplace must
develop and implement a written hazard communication program
and train employees on the hazards they are exposed to and
proper precautions (and a copy of safety data sheets must be
readily available). See the OSHA page on Hazard Communication.

Provide medical examinations and training when required by
OSHA standards.
Integrity - Service - Excellence

Safety

Report to the nearest OSHA office all work-related fatalities within 8
hours, and all work-related inpatient hospitalizations, all amputations
and all losses of an eye within 24 hours. OSHA toll-free number: 1800-321-OSHA (6742); TTY 1-877-889-5627.

Keep records of work-related injuries and illnesses.
 Note: Employers with 10 or fewer employees and employers in
certain low-hazard industries are exempt from this requirement.

Provide employees, former employees and their representatives
access to the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA
Form 300).
 On February 1, and for three months, covered employers must
post the summary of the OSHA log of injuries and illnesses
(OSHA Form 300A).
