Evaluate the contractor's timeliness With some exceptions, the contractor was timely. There were certain elements of their work that seemed to take longer than expected, but overall on time.

Evaluate the contractor's quality I would rate their quality as good, but not necessarily great. At time their attention to detail seemed a bit sloppy.

Evaluate the contractor's cost The price and value seemed in line with the cost.

Evaluate the contractor's overall performance Overall, the contractor provided good overall quality of service. I think they need work managing details like materials being ADA accessible and to be more attentive to providing quality digital files, they seem to lean heavily on PDF's and PowerPoints, rather than providing original files that are easier to reuse and repurpose.

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.): There was no negative action taken.
