Short Form Evaluation Clause Samples

The Short Form Evaluation clause establishes a streamlined process for assessing a product, service, or proposal using a simplified set of criteria or procedures. Typically, this clause applies when a full, detailed evaluation is unnecessary or impractical, such as for low-value contracts or pilot projects. By reducing the administrative burden and expediting decision-making, the clause enables parties to quickly determine suitability or compliance, thereby saving time and resources while maintaining sufficient oversight.

The regular evaluation process shall be followed at least once every four (4) years and an employee or evaluator may request that the regular evaluation process be conducted in any given school year.
