Government's Project Manager/COTR and may be considered for performance evaluation
purposes.
9. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION BOARD (PEB): The general responsibilities, composition
and conduct of the Performance Evaluation Board are summarized below.
(a). Responsibilities: In general, the PEB will be responsible for-
(i) Establishing the criteria for evaluating the Contractor's performance;
(ii) Reviewing the tentative performance evaluation and Award Fee
recommendation made by the Government Project Manager (PM), Contracting Officer's
Technical Representative (COTR) and Contracting Officer (CO); and
(iii) Determining the award fee percentage earned, commensurate with the
Contractor's overall performance.
(b) Composition:. The PEB will be composed of the following:
(i) FDO (Directorate/Office Director/Group Chief or equivalent)
(ii) Program Manager (if formally designated)
(iii) Contracting Office Group Chief and/or Team Chief
(Iv) Cognizant Contracting Officer
(v) COTR
(vi) Chief, Program Financial/Budget Officer
 UNCLASSIFIED
(vii) Directorate/Office/Group Security Officer
(c) PEB Sessions: The designated FDO will convene, within thirty (30) days after the
award fee period, a performance evaluation session for the purpose of reviewing the specific
criteria established for the preceding period, and for determining the overall adjective ratings
and numerical score which best represents the measure of performance demonstrated by the
Contractor during the period evaluated. (Refer to paragraph 10 for the evaluation rating scale.)
The award fee score will be assigned by PEB consensus. To accomplish this, the PEB will
analyze the quantitative and/or qualitative aspects of the work scheduled/expected to be
accomplished and weigh the strengths and weaknesses of the Contractor's performance by
giving careful consideration to the following:
(i) The "specific evaluation criteria" applicable to the period undergoing
evaluation;
(ii) The weightings associated with such criteria and period;
(iii) The written evaluation and recommendations provided by the Government
Project Manager/COTR and other Government personnel during the performance
evaluation session;
(iv) The performance level ratings and descriptions defined by the evaluation
rating scale; and
(v) Any other relevant information formally presented to the PEB which the board
considers pertinent to its evaluation of Contractor performance.
(d) Each PEB member will be given the opportunity to orally state his/her
concurrence/non-concurrence with the award fee score. In the event of non-concurrence, the
board member(s) expressing the dissenting view(s) will explain the rationale for the dissent.
(e) If the PEB does not reach a consensus on ratings, the FDO/Chairperson will make a
final decision.
(f) The PEB will complete its evaluation and instruct the Government Project
Manager/COTR to document the award fee determination in accordance with the board's
findings In preparation for presentation to the Contractor.
(g) The Program/Project Manager/COTR will schedule a formal briefing to Contractor
personnel for each award fee determination. This session will be held within two weeks after
the FDO's decision. It may be held at either the Government or Contractor facility. Typically,
the session Is restricted to the PEB members and appropriate Contractor personnel.
(h) Within two weeks after the PEB's determination, the Contracting Officer will issue a
unilateral contract modification which will specify the amount of the award fee determination and
. UNCLASSIFIED
 revise the clause entitled "Type of Contract and Consideration" to enable the Contractor to
invoice the Government for the amount of award fee earned.
10. EVALUATION RATING SCALE: The Project Manager/COTR and PEB will use the levels
of performance described below to determine the adjective rating and numerical score which
best represents the measure of performance demonstrated by the Contractor during the period
evaluated:
