Evaluate the contractor's timeliness Marcell did a good job of meeting deadlines or communicating when they needed more time. The sub consultant team struggled to meet deadlines. We had an issue at the end of our contract with the final invoice- it look over 3 months to get an issue on the subconsultant's invoice resolved

Evaluate the contractor's quality The PM had high quality skills. Support staff at the agency were not as skilled or quick and needed a lot of direction. Sub-consultants ended up meeting the needs of the project but it took an excessive amount of effort on behalf of MnDOT PM to ensure quality was achieved.
