program that involves the design and
construction of medical centers, and
other VA facilities including building
improvements and conversions. The
actual construction work is contracted
out to private construction firms. The
use of VA Form 6298, ArchitectEngineer Fee Proposal is mandatory for
obtaining the proposal and supporting
cost or pricing data from the contractor
and subcontractor in the negotiation of
all architect-engineer contracts for
design services when the contract price
is estimated to be $50,000 or more. It is
also used in obtaining proposals and
supporting cost or pricing data for
architect engineer services for research
study, seismic study, master planning
study, construction management and
other related services contracts. VA
Form 10101, Contractor Production
Report, is used to record the data
necessary to ensure the contractor
provides sufficient labor and materials
to accomplish the contract work.
Contractors are required to guarantee
the performance of the work necessary
to complete the project. VAAR 852.236–
79 details what needs to be addressed
by the contractor on the Contractor
Production Report. Failure to receive
information from the Contractor
Production Report could result in a
claim for non-performance and
construction delays against the
Government if the Government were
unable to collect this information to
administer the contract.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
