Evaluate the contractor's timeliness The work met the requirements of the program. Opportunities for energy savings were identified. The analysis and final report were completed approximately one year later than expected.

Evaluate the contractor's quality The quality was inadequate in many respects and the final report was never fully accepted by the DNR; it did not meet their needs. The identified savings were much smaller than expected and insignificant in some cases.

Evaluate the contractor's cost This was a bid project and the cost was equal to the amount bid with no changes. However, the project was hurt by being underbid and thus the resources spent on the work product were probably insufficient.
