Evaluate the contractor's timeliness The contractor did a good job meeting timelines and adapting to new ones where changes needed to take place.

Evaluate the contractor's quality The contractor did a very good job with the quality of both the noise and air quality analysis. Only minor errors were found on documents and changes were handled in a quick timeframe. The contractor stayed engaged for the entire process (noise advisory, noise analysis, and public meetings). The contractor developed great graphics for the project!

Evaluate the contractor's cost The contractors cost seemed to fall in line with other projects of this type and worked hard to stay (and under) the budget.
