The collected information is required
by GSAR clause 552.236-72, Submittals. The GSAR clause requires the
Contractor to prepare and submit all submittals as specified in the
contract or requested by the Contracting Officer in solicitations
and contracts if construction, dismantling, demolition, or removal
of improvements is contemplated. Alternate I of the clause will be
used when a design-build project delivery method will be followed.
● Submittals. Submittals may include safety plans, schedules, shop
drawings, coordination drawings, samples, calculations, product
information, or mockups. ● Shop Drawings. Shop drawings may include
fabrication, erection and setting drawings, manufacturers' scale
drawings, wiring and control diagrams, cuts or entire catalogs,
pamphlets, descriptive literature, and performance and test data. ●
Additional information. Unless otherwise provided in this contract,
or otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, submittals shall
be submitted to the Contracting Officer: (i) The Contractor shall
be entitled to receive notice of action on submittals within a
reasonable time, given the volume or complexity of the submittals
and the criticality of the affected activities to substantial
completion as may be indicated in the project schedule (ii) The
Contractor shall not proceed with construction work or procure
products or materials described or shown in submittals until the
submittal is reviewed. Any work or activity undertaken prior to
review shall be at the Contractor's risk. Should the Contracting
Officer subsequently determine that the work or activity does not
comply with the contract, the Contractor shall be responsible for
all cost and time required to comply with the Contracting Officer's
determination. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to
order the Contractor to cease execution of work for which
submittals have not been reviewed. The Government shall not be
liable for any cost or delay incurred by the Contractor
attributable to the proper exercise of this right. See Item 6 below
for the consequences if the information collection is not conducted
or conducted less frequently.
● The hourly rate was updated
to reflect the rates effective January 2025, as opposed to January
2022. ● The estimated hours to complete the submission was adjusted
upward from 15 minutes to 30 minutes to be in alignment with
current estimates. ● The estimated hours for review was adjusted
upward from 15 minutes to 30 minutes to be in alignment with
current estimates. ● The estimated number of construction contracts
reflected in FPDS data was updated to reflect FY2024 data, as
opposed to FY2021 data. ● Previous reference to the GSA Form 2437

and it does not impact the burden estimate.
