Project Name and Location – Be as specific as possible. This allows us to distinguish one project from another. Distinctive project titles eliminate questions and vagueness.

Project ID – If you have one, list it, this assists us with project ambiguity.

Contractor’s Scope of Work - This field should describe the work that a contractor performed on a project pursuant to its contract. The scope should be specific to each contractor who worked on a project.

One evaluation per contract. If a single contract covers more than one Scope of Work for a single contractor, that should be noted in the Scope of Work.

If there is more than one Scope of Work and they are covered under separate contracts, there would have to be two separate evaluations: one for each Scope of Work.
