Describe any negative action taken during the duration of this contract (i.e., termination, pursuit of suspension, etc.): No negative actions were taken but other situations occurred that caused frustrations. Examples include: original cost estimates being extremely low and even after dicussing concern with them, they still had issues with tasks going over budget; the thing that saved them was that the end tasks were overly simple, so they had money left to cover under budgeted tasks, but they did not communicate this with us until they submitted the last invoice.
Other issues were that some writing was simple copy/paste from documents we provided them, rather than original writing, some writers met expectations, others did not.
