SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB control number, Title, and any Associated Form(s)
9000-0062, Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 36
Construction Contract Requirements.
B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit
to comply with the following requirements in FAR part 36:
<bullet> FAR 52.236-5, Material and Workmanship. This clause
requires the contractor 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
sufficient information on and, in some cases, samples of the items
requiring approval. The contracting officer uses this information to
determine whether the machinery, equipment, material, or articles meet
the standards of quality specified in the contract. A contracting
officer may reject work if the contractor installs machinery,
equipment, material, or articles in the work without obtaining the
contracting officer's approval.
<bullet> FAR 52.236-13, Accident Prevention, Alternate I. This
alternate to the basic clause requires the contractor 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. The
contracting officer and technical representatives analyze the Accident
Prevention Plan to determine if the proposed plan will satisfy the
safety requirements identified in the contract, to include certain
provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and applicable
standards issued by the Secretary of Labor at 29 CFR part 1926 and 29
CFR part 1910.
<bullet> FAR 52.236-15, Schedules for Construction Contracts. This
clause requires the contractor 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). The contracting officer uses this information to
monitor progress under a federal construction contract when other
management approaches for ensuring adequate progress are not used.
C. Annual Burden
Respondents: 4,412.
Total Annual Responses: 15,352.
Total Burden Hours: 12,034.
