The information relative to the place
of performance and owner of plant or facility, if other than the
prospective contractor, is a basic requirement when contracting for
supplies or services (including construction). This information is
instrumental in determining bidder responsibility, responsiveness,
and price reasonableness. A prospective contractor must
affirmatively demonstrate its responsibility. Hence, the Government
must be apprised of this information prior to award.
The total number of burden
hours decreased due to re-calculation of the new estimated burden
hours using more current Federal-wide award data. The new estimate
was derived by using data from FPDS for FY 2016. Current year 2017
OPM GS hourly salary rates for rest of the United States were used
to determine the average wage rate.
