This is the Standard Contractor Evaluation form for both PRIVATE and PUBLIC projects.
Private Project: Private projects include vertical building work performed for private parties, federal
agencies and all out of state work.
Who completes and signs this form for a Private project?
Evaluations for private projects can be prepared and signed by the project owner or by an individual
responsible for the oversight of the project (e.g. general Contractor, architect, owner's project
manager).
Evaluators on Private Projects should submit evaluations as a guest. Registration is not required.
Public Project: Public projects only include vertical building work performed for state agencies, state
commissions or authorities, state schools, state hospitals and municipalities in the state of
Massachusetts.
Who completes and signs this form for a Public project?
All public evaluations must be signed by an official from the public awarding authority.
Massachusetts state law requires Public Evaluation Forms be completed by the Awarding Authority and
submitted to DCAMM upon completion of the project. Per state law a copy of the evaluation must be
sent to the Contractor.
FOR PUBLIC PROJECTS OVER $1,500,000
For public projects $1,500,000.00 and above, the Owner's Project Manager (OPM) responsible for
oversight of the project must complete and sign the evaluation.
To complete an evaluation for a public project $1,500,000 and above, either the Awarding Authority or the OPM must register to complete the evaluation
and obtain the two required signatures(Awarding Authority and OPM) prior to submitting. Registration allows the evaluation to be signed by multiple people. Registration
also allows the user to track multiple evaluations that are in process.
FOR PUBLIC PROJECTS UNDER $1,500,000
For public projects under $1,500,000.00, the public awarding authority may have a representative
(e.g. architect, designer, OPM) or any other party responsible for the oversight of the project (e.g. general
Contractor, architect, owner's project manager) complete and sign the evaluation.
To complete an evaluation for a public project under $1,500,000, if the Awarding Authority elects to have the OPM completed the evaluation,
registration is required to obtain the two required signatures (Awarding Authority and OPM) prior to submitting.
If the Awarding Authority elects to complete the evaluation without an additional OPM signature, then it can choose to either register and
complete the evaluation or it may bypass registration and submit the evaluation as a guest.
PRELIMINARY EVALUATIONS
Public Awarding Authorities are required to complete an evaluation form at the 50% mark of a project
and submit it to the Contractor as a preliminary evaluation of its performance. These
"Preliminary
Evaluations"
are intended for informational purposes only and should not be submitted to DCAMM
