Title: Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR)
VA Form 6298, Architect-Engineer Fee Proposal and VA Form 10101,
Contractor Production Report.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0208.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of
Construction and Facilities Management (CFM), manages a multi-million-
dollar construction program that involves the design and construction
of medical centers, and other VA facilities including building
improvements and conversions. The actual construction work is
contracted out to private construction firms. The use of VA Form 6298,
Architect-Engineer Fee Proposal is mandatory for obtaining the proposal
and supporting cost or pricing data from the contractor and
subcontractor in the negotiation of all architect-engineer contracts
for design services when the contract price is estimated to be $50,000
or more. It is also used in obtaining proposals and supporting cost or
pricing data for architect engineer services for research study,
seismic study, master planning study, construction management and other
related services contracts. VA Form 10101, Contractor Production
Report, is used to record the data necessary to ensure the contractor
provides sufficient labor and materials to accomplish the contract
work. Contractors are required to guarantee the performance of the work
necessary to complete the project. VAAR 852.236-79 details what needs
to be addressed by the contractor on the Contractor Production Report.
Failure to receive information from the Contractor Production Report
could result in a claim for non-performance and construction delays
against the Government if the Government were unable to collect this
information to administer the contract.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Annual Burden: 5,341 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 264 minutes.
Frequency of Response: More than quarterly.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 335.
By direction of the Secretary.
