Evaluate the contractor's timeliness MnDOT / TAP caused some delay, not contractor. Contractor did wait until task deadlines to deliver but did meet all deadlines.

Evaluate the contractor's quality Very high quality research – both set up and execution. Brought the cutting edge expertise we needed. Pleasant to work with. Dr. Noyce provided strong project leadership which was needed by TAP’s diverse prospectives on project. We did go thru about 3 or 4

Evaluate the contractor's cost High, but we’d tried to get U of M for same price and they said they weren’t interested.

Evaluate the contractor's overall performance Very good. This was my second contract with Dr. Noyce and both went exceedingly well.

Would you engage the contractor's services again? Yes
