  • No Safety Non-compliance notices or stop work orders
  • No findings identified during Occupational Safety and Health Administration compliance inspections
  • Overall Satisfactory performance evaluation or better – including quality
  • Cumulative Average score of 90% or better on the contractor safety self-evaluation checklist process where required by contract

CMS congratulates all who worked on this project for their outstanding performance and spotless safety record.
