North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 01 - ADMINISTRATION › Chapter 30 - STATE CONSTRUCTION › Subchapter F - STATE BUILDING COMMISSION CONTRACTOR EVALUATION PROCEDURES › Section .0300 - EVALUATION OF CONTRACTORS › Section 30F .0302 - OVERALL JOB PERFORMANCE

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) The Capital
				  Projects Coordinator shall determine the contractor's overall performance for
				  the completed project. The overall rating is intended to reflect the
				  performance of the prime contractor(s) in fulfilling the terms of their
				  contract.
(b) The Capital Projects
				  Coordinator will take into consideration the clarity of the project plans and
				  specifications, any owner's special requirements placed on the project, and
				  other factors such as weather and overall difficulty of the construction in
				  assigning the overall evaluation. Obviously, the terms of the contract
				  including project scheduling, cooperation among prime contractors, and other
				  factors shall be considered. Further, the Capital Projects Coordinator will
				  consider the impact of other factors, outside the contractor's control, on job
				  performance such as owner's or designer's failure to promptly process
				  catalog/material submittals, change orders, or detailed inspections which
				  impinge upon job progress.
(c) The
				  Capital Projects Coordinator must be involved in the project during the
				  construction phase to adequately provide a meaningful evaluation and shall
				  invite input from the owner's representative and the State Construction
				  Office.
(d) The project designer
				  shall be offered the opportunity to provide an assessment of the prime
				  contractor(s) at job completion.
(e) On all multiple prime capital improvement
				  projects, each prime contractor shall be offered the opportunity to provide
				  input concerning the prime contractor being evaluated.
(f) The Capital Projects Coordinator may also
				  evaluate the work performed by a sub-contractor or material supplier required
				  to be named within the terms of the contract when such evaluation will provide
				  clarification or enhancement of the evaluation assigned to the prime
				  contractor. At the discretion of the Capital Projects Coordinator, input may be
				  invited from any or all sub-contractors or material suppliers required to be
				  named within the terms of the contract. If unsolicited input is received by the
				  Capital Projects Coordinator from a sub-contractor or material supplier
				  required to be named within the terms of the contract, such input may be
				  considered in the evaluation process.
(g) The Capital Projects Coordinator shall be
				  responsible for the final overall rating, which is a number rounded to one
				  significant digit past the decimal (e.g., 2.5, 3.4, etc.) and shall be listed
				  on the bar line noted as "Overall Rating." The evaluations for sub-phases of
				  the project are to be completed on the rating form but may show as an "X" or a
				  numerical rating on the line for the sub-phase at the option of the Capital
				  Projects Coordinator. This summary evaluation shall not necessarily reflect a
				  precise numerical averaging of scores for the various project phases but will
				  be generally representative of those scores.
(h) Prior to completion of the final
				  contractor evaluation, the Capital Projects Coordinator shall submit the
				  proposed evaluation to the prime contractor for comment. Comments received from
				  the prime contractor shall be considered by the Capital Projects
				  Coordinator.
(i) To be timely, and
				  useful, contractor evaluation data will be accumulated within 30 days of final
				  project acceptance. At this stage, the Capital Projects Coordinator shall
				  prepare the final contractor evaluation, provide a copy to the prime contractor
				  being evaluated, and submit the final evaluation to the Office of State
				  Construction. The form approved by the SBC shall be used for this
				  purpose.
