Abstract: This justification supports clearance of an extension of the collection and consolidating it with OMB control number 9000-0062, and covers the information that contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: ● FAR 52.236-5, Material and Workmanship. This clause requires contractors to obtain contracting officer approval of the machinery, equipment, material, or articles to be incorporated into the work. The contractor’s request must include: the manufacturer’s name, the model number, and other information concerning the performance, capacity, nature, and rating of the machinery and mechanical and other equipment; and full information concerning the material or articles. When directed by the contracting officer, the contractor must submit samples of the items requiring approval for incorporating into the work. ● FAR 52.236-13, Accident Prevention, Alternate I. This alternate to the basic clause requires contractors to submit a written proposed plan to provide and maintain work environments and procedures that will safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to contractor operations and activities; avoid interruptions of Government operations and delays in project completion dates; and control costs in the performance of this contract. The plan must include an analysis of the significant hazards to life, limb, and property inherent in contract work performance and a plan for controlling these hazards. ● FAR 52.236-15, Schedules for Construction Contracts. This clause requires contractors to prepare and submit to the contracting officer for approval three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which the contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient features of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and equipment). ● FAR 52.236-19, Organization and Direction of the Work. This clause requires contractors, under cost-reimbursement construction contracts, to submit to the contracting officer a chart showing the general executive and administrative organization, the personnel to be employed in connection with the work under the contract, and their respective duties. The contractor must keep the data furnished current by supplementing it as additional information becomes available.

Short Statement: This extension of OMB Control No. 9000-0064 is combined with the previously approved information collection under OMB Control No. 9000-0062. This extension includes adjustments to the public and Government burden estimates based on the following: ● This supporting statement now covers three additional FAR part 36 contract clauses, based on the consolidation of OMB control No. 9000-0062 under OMB control number 9000-0064. ● A correction was made to the public burden estimate for FAR 52.236-15 that was incorrectly calculated using 1 hour for a contractor to prepare and submit the schedule information when it should have been 4 hours. ● The estimated number of respondents and responses per year is based on FPDS data for the three most recent fiscal years (2020 through 2022). The parameters for data pulled from FPDS for each clause is consistent with the prescription for each clause contained in FAR part 36 and based on product services codes, contract type, and dollar value. ● The estimated cost per hour is based on use of the current (calendar year 2024) OPM GS wage rates for the rest of the United States.
