QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT Sample Clauses

A Qualitative Assessment clause establishes the requirement for evaluating certain aspects of a project, product, or service based on subjective criteria rather than purely quantitative measures. This clause typically outlines the standards, benchmarks, or methods by which quality, performance, or compliance will be judged, such as through expert review, user feedback, or adherence to industry best practices. Its core function is to ensure that non-numeric factors—like workmanship, user experience, or aesthetic value—are formally considered in decision-making, thereby addressing areas that quantitative metrics alone may overlook.
QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT. Exhibit B-1, p. 5; Clean Energy Act, Section 2(l); Order G-278-19, Appendix A, p. 11 On page 5 of the Filing, BC Hydro states that: In February 2016, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ North project was acquired by CCPLP, which is comprised of Cayoose Creek Development Corporation and Innergex. The Sekw’el’was Cayoose Creek Indian Band (Cayoose Creek Indian Band) is the sole beneficial shareholder of Cayoose Creek Development Corporation [(CDCC)]. Cayoose Creek Indian Band is part of the St’at’imc Nation. The original ▇▇▇▇▇▇ North EPA, Forbearance Agreement and Diversion Agreement were assigned to CCPLP at that time. Section (2)(l) of the Clean Energy Act (CEA) states that one of BC’s energy objectives is “to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the development of first nation and rural communities through the use and development of clean or renewable resources”. On page 11 of the Reasons for Decision, attached as Appendix A to Order G-278-19, the BCUC references a previously proposed EPA renewal with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ North independent power producer (IPP) and states that: The Limited Partnership Agreement between CCDC and Innergex provides the CCIB and the TA with a number of benefits related to contracting, jobs and training,49 as well as a share of net income or loss earned by the CCPLP over the term of the 40-year EPA renewal.50 Salmon migration is facilitated by the Cayoosh Diversion Tunnel, and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ North IPP states that the salmon population “…is of great natural importance to the CCIB.” Several elements of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ North IPP operations provide specific protection and enhancement of the salmon population native to the Cayoosh and Seton areas, and the salmon and other fish species are a source of food for the local and downstream communities. Additionally, the IPP provides indirect employment for many members of the CCIB, as well as other indigenous and neighbouring communities.51

QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT. A Professional Engineer of the firm shall visit the intersection/interchange under study during the morning and evening peak traffic periods. This will also include any period during which a problem was indicated by the work order. The Engineer shall make qualitative assessments of intersection operation, particularly in terms of queue lengths, delays, phasing, conflicts or any operational characteristics that should be considered in recommending the need for a traffic signal or other operational improvements. The CONSULTANT shall conduct a field inventory of each intersection under study and prepare a condition diagram on standard DEPARTMENT forms contained in the MUTS or in another format approved by the DEPARTMENT. The condition diagram shall show the intersection geometry and dimensions, including but not limited to, auxiliary turn lane lengths, lane widths, taper lengths, and turning and curb radii. The condition diagram shall show all traffic control devices and other roadway or roadside elements that contribute to the quality of intersection operation, including but not limited to driveways, sidewalks, signs, pavement markings, drainage inlets, buildings, utilities, signal poles, lighting, and other fixed objects. The condition diagram shall be a scaled drawing. If an aerial is used, it must be scaled and any features not readily apparent from the aerial shall be outlined. Any variations in current geometry from the aerial shall also be outlined. Aerials used in diagrams shall be included in the electronic file submittal. Color photographs shall be taken of each approach. The photographs shall show the lane configuration, STOP sign/bar location and condition, traffic signals and other special beacons or devices used to control traffic. The photographs shall be taken facing the approaching traffic. A minimum of 1 photograph shall be taken of each approach. Additional photographs shall be taken if needed to show the physical conditions. Photographs shall be taken of any geometric, traffic, or traffic control aspects about which the DTOE should be aware. The CONSULTANT shall recommend to the DTOE or PM if any supplemental work tasks are needed prior to commencing work on such tasks. • Assessment of intersection operation • Condition Diagram • Color photographs of intersections • Final recommendation for intersection improvement(s) and for supplemental work tasks • An improvement diagram detailing intersection improvements

QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT. Following the completion of the quantitative assessment, BRG’s Subject Matter Experts will interview key stakeholders at the hospital department level to develop an understanding of operational processes, challenges, and changes needed to achieve the improved performance levels. Our team combines the acquired departmental knowledge, specific understanding of hospital departments, and the results of the quantitative analysis to identify realistic and achievable cost containment opportunities. This approach provides a rich and concrete set of actionable initiatives that, when implemented, will result in measurable performance improvement.

QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT. Review crash history to determine if a pattern(s) exist. Conduct an engineering field review to identify potentially correctable/hazardous conditions. Verify existing conditions. • Recommendations are either short-term or “ideas” that may require additional study and vetting. May lead to more study. • Considered high level.

  • Performance Assessment 6.1 The Performance Plan (Annexure A) to this Agreement sets out key performance indicators and competencies that needs to be evaluated in terms of – 6.1.1 The standards and procedures for evaluating the Employee’s performance; and 6.1.2 During the intervals for the evaluation of the Employee’s performance. 6.2 Despite the establishment of agreed intervals for evaluation, the Employer may in addition review the Employee’s performance at any stage while the contract of employment remains in force; 6.3 Personal growth and development needs identified during any performance review discussion must be documented in a Personal Development Plan as well as the actions agreed to and implementation must take place within set time frames; 6.4 The Employee’s performance will also be measured in terms of contributions to the goals and strategies set out in the Employer’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) as described in 6.6 – 6.13 below; 6.5 The Employee will submit quarterly performance reports (SDBIP) and a comprehensive annual performance report at least one week prior to the performance assessment meetings to the Evaluation Panel Chairperson for distribution to the panel members for preparation purposes; 6.6 Assessment of the achievement of results as outlined in the performance plan: 6.6.1 Each KPI or group of KPIs shall be assessed according to the extent to which the specified standards or performance targets have been met (qualitative and quantitative) and with due regard to ad-hoc tasks that had to be performed under the KPI; 6.6.2 A rating on the five-point scale described in 6.9 below shall be provided for each KPI or group of KPIs which will then be multiplied by the weighting to calculate the final score; 6.6.3 The Employee will submit his self-evaluation to the Employer prior to the formal assessment; 6.6.4 In the instance where the employee could not perform due to reasons outside the control of the employer and employee, the KPI will not be considered during the evaluation.
