DFARS 236.570(a) prescribes use of the clause at DFARS 252.236-
7000, Modification Proposals--Price Breakdown, in all fixed-price
construction solicitations and contracts. The clause requires the
contractor to submit a price breakdown with any proposal for a contract

price construction contracts and solicitations as applicable:

obstructions in navigable waterways.
(2) The clause at DFARS 252.236-7003, Payment for Mobilization and
Preparatory Work, requires the contractor to provide supporting
documentation when submitting requests for payment for mobilization and

relation to the cost of the work.
