Evaluate the contractor's timeliness • Work has been completed on time, although some vendor errors have needed to be corrected along the way.

Evaluate the contractor's quality • The quality of the work has met the agency’s expectations but has not exceeded them. Ideally the creative work could have been a more innovative and engaging. The project has been effective to build awareness of the laws we oversee and has drawn thousands of Minnesotan’s to DLI resources and information.

Evaluate the contractor's cost • The contractor’s cost is reasonable considering most of this project’s cost is going directly to social media advertisement costs.

Evaluate the contractor's overall performance • There have been a number of smaller errors with different creative work but overall the performance has been satisfactory. The biggest issue has been billing and administrative errors which have created additional workload to work through and fix.

Would you engage the contractor's services again? No

Describe any negative action taken during the duration of this contract (i.e., termination, pursuit of suspension, etc.): • We did temporarily stop working with this vendor but recently resumed, in part because a working relationship had already been established and most of the current work is repetitive instead of new work or changes.
