Evaluate the contractor's timeliness Relatively complex task due to assumptions on sediment flows over various acre scenarios along with model assumption inputs created gaps in production. These were overcome by timely voice communications and face meetings. Creating the CADD drawing proved to be the most difficult as process based on a design set of construction and constructability assumptions.

Evaluate the contractor's quality Exemplary, with model output results delivered beyond expectations and beyond requirements of contract (first time predicted sediment trap cleanout frequency). Expect to co-present the results at the MN Water Resource Conference

Evaluate the contractor's cost Spent what was necessary to complete the work on time, did not try to pad the work to consume the entire contract amount. Very pleased with process.

Evaluate the contractor's overall performance High level of professionalism, ample preparation to anticipate questions and next steps to complete the work without routine direction. Willing to reach beyond normal assumptions to solve the problem presented in the contract. Consultant utilized skills and provided opportunity of a new employee into the process and contract delivery.

Would you engage the contractor's services again? Yes

Describe any negative action taken during the duration of this contract (i.e., termination, pursuit of suspension, etc.): NONE

Please rate the overall experience with the contractor 5 - very satisfied
