15 Successful Performance Contract award is the first of many steps to profitable and successful performance Know the players and their roles/responsibilities Request a post-award conference to: Meet with the project owner and confirm understanding of expectations Establish protocol for communications, contract requirements, billing, payments, etc. Seek clarification on anything that is important to your ability to successfully perform Owner is primarily interested in Capability and Stability 15

16 Capability & Stability Capability is based on past performance and qualifications and means that a firm is fully able to conduct business as represented in its proposal Stability speaks to reputation and assesses whether a contractor can effectively run its business while performing on a discrete contract These characteristics manifest as soon as the job gets started, so: Have a solid project schedule and budget and monitor both closely Have quality and adequate resources to perform the activities estimate should have taken into consideration not only the cost but manpower, equipment, and materials Anticipate and remain adaptable to contract changes and manage budget accordingly contractor may have to fund the initial work Have a solid subcontract plan and manage those resources to minimize risk 16
