Evaluate the contractor's timeliness Very satisfied. Braun did a great job of getting the project completed with all the uncertainties due to COVID this spring.

Evaluate the contractor's quality Very satisfied. A large part of the work involved PFAS sampling under the State Contractor. I think that this was the first state PFAS project for them and it all went well. Issues unique to PFAS were resolved before they went out into the field. They also did a great job of coordinating with the labs. We were asked to use (ALS) for the PFAS part and we used Pace for the rest of the analytical. So they had to coordinate with multiple labs. It was one of the first PFAS projects where the state used ALS.

Evaluate the contractor's cost Very satisfied.

Evaluate the contractor's overall performance Very satisfied.
