The measures and standards shall be used by the governmental body to evaluate the performance of the vendor under the contract.

An accountability section that requires the vendor to report regularly on achievement of the performance measures and standards specified in the contract and that allows the governmental body to withhold payment until successful completion of all or part of the contract and the achievement of established performance standards.
