Management reviews employee performance and signs off on work completion.
Ensure that the entries in this grid are factual and objective and that apples are being compared to apples. If a company's bid did not address this question, call and ask for the data. This grid is the formal back-up for an eventual recommendation by the committee. It needs to be thorough, accurate, and objective. Only when data collection is complete is the committee ready to make an assessment.
