Abstract: Prior to GSA making final payment to a contractor for construction or building services, the GSAR requires that contractors must submit a release of claims to GSA for its review. The information collected is submitted electronically (to the maximum extent possible). See Item 6 below for the consequences if the information collection is not conducted or conducted less frequently. GSA will use the information (via a contracting officer) to determine whether to make final payment to a contractor on a construction or building services contract.
