Abstract: Monthly payments of building service contractors may be adjusted if the services do not conform to contract requirements. The contractor is notified of the proposed deductions and may provide facts, which justify reconsideration and/or adjustment of the proposed amount to be deducted. However, payments are not delayed or withheld pending resolution of disputes regarding proposed deductions. The contracting officer shall insert the clause at GSAR 552.232-72, Final Payment in all solicitations and contracts for recurring building services. This clause requires building services contractors to submit GSA Form 1142, Release of Claims before final payment is made. A similar release is required for construction contractors under FAR clause 52.532-5, Payments Under Fixed Price Construction Contracts, but such clause does not account for the specific GSA Form 1142 information collection burden.
