What Is This Resource:
The HOA Vendor Comparison and Evaluation Worksheet is a structured Excel workbook that takes the guesswork out of contractor selection. Instead of comparing vendors from memory or informal notes, your board works through a consistent scoring rubric that covers every factor that matters: license status, insurance, HOA-specific experience, references, price, and communication.

What Is Inside:

• Vendor Comparison Tab — side by side evaluation of up to five vendors across 12 scored criteria, with automatic winner highlighting
• Performance Review Tab — ongoing log to track vendor performance after work is complete, organized by project and date
• Instructions Tab — plain-language guidance for using both tabs effectively

Who It Is For:
Any HOA board member responsible for selecting or managing vendors. Works for routine maintenance contractors, landscaping companies, capital project bids, and any other service provider your community hires.
Why Boards Need It:

• Protects the board from claims of favoritism or poor decision-making
• Creates a documented record of how vendors were evaluated
• Ensures insurance and license verification happens every time, not just when someone remembers
• Gives new board members a consistent process to follow without starting from scratch
• Stores performance history so vendor renewal decisions are based on data, not memory
