� Program Qualifications - A contractor must complete a minimum of eight (8) Red Shield warranted jobs annually and be in good financial standing with Firestone to be eligible for Master Contractor status. In addition, to qualify for Master Contractor status in 2017, it requires a Quality Incidence Rating (QIR) that does not exceed 2.5 times the average QIR for Red Shield Contractors. QIR is determined by the annual number of quality incidents per million square feet of roofing under warranty. Current QIR status can be viewed on each licensed contractor’s password protected site at firestonebpco.com.

� Qualifications for Recognition Levels - Firestone values both contractor success and loyalty. Firestone’s share of members’ commercial roofing business will be a component in determining eligibility for our most elite designations and rewards: Master Contractor Gold and Master Contractor Platinum. Additional information is available through your Firestone Sales Representative and at firestonebpco.com.

� Point Structure - Total Master Contractor points will be calculated as demonstrated in the chart and example below. Using this formula, contractors can earn a maximum 12 points per square foot for warranted projects and 1 point per square foot for discretionary insulation.

� Growth Points - Contractors who increase their total Red Shield warranted square footage by 10% or more over the previous year will be awarded a year-end Master Contractor point bonus of 20% of their 2016 Master Contractor base points.

� Discretionary ISO - In order to reward our contractors who choose to use Firestone brand polyiso products in non-warranted roofing assemblies, or under a competitor’s material, Firestone has extended the Master Contractor program to include these transactions. Firestone will award one quality point per square foot of Firestone ISO used in these installations.

or 2017, Firestone will recognize two categories of quality contractors – Partner in Quality and Inner Circle of Quality. The rating system to achieve these designations is based on

each company’s annual Quality Incidence Rating (QIR). The QIR measure is computed using the total number of warrantable repair incidents occurring on Firestone roofs divided into the total square footage of Firestone roofs under warranty:

The QIR is calculated for all Firestone contractors who have installed at least 1 million square feet of Firestone roofs currently under warranty, and Firestone will recognize those contractors who achieve the highest levels of roofing quality in 2016.

The following awards will be presented to Firestone contractors who meet the QIR criteria for the year ending prior to the award:

Partner in Quality1. Install at least 8 warranted roofs in 2014, 2015 and

2016, and 4 warranted roofs per year for each of the 3 prior years

2. Maintain at least 1 million square feet under warranty3. Achieve an annual QIR of 1.0 or less

Contractors who earn this quality level will be recognized with a commemorative plaque, along with local press coverage provided by the Firestone public relations agency.

Inner Circle of Quality:1. Install at least 8 warranted roofs in 2014, 2015 and

2016, and 4 warranted roofs per year for each of the 3 prior years

2. Maintain at least 2 million square feet under warranty3. Achieve an annual QIR of 1.0 or less4. Achieve Master Contractor status

Contractors who earn the Inner Circle of Quality Award will receive extensive regional and local publicity promoting the achievement.
