This information collection applies to General Services Administration (GSA) construction contractorsâ proposals to establish the final estimated cost of the work, to convert the contract to a firm-fixed-price, and to determine the final settlement.
Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) refers to a project management and contracting technique that is one of three predominant methods used for acquiring construction services by GSA. The other two methods are design-bid-build and design-build.
The information is used by contracting officers to evaluate proposals and negotiate contract modifications during contract administration. GSA would be unable to assess readily and equitably offers fairly and competitively if they were not allowed to collect data required in the information collection.
Method: GSAR 552.236-79, Construction-Contractor-as-Constructor, requires the contractor to submit a proposal to establish the final estimated cost of the work, to convert the contract to a firm-fixed-price, and to determine the final settlement.
