Responses per Respondent: Approximately 5.53.
Annual Responses: 8,169.
Average Burden per Response: Approximately 11.157 hours.

Needs and Uses: DoD contracting officers need this information to
evaluate contractor proposals for contract modifications; to determine
that a contractor has removed obstructions to navigation; to review
contractor requests for payment for mobilization and preparatory work;
to determine reasonableness of costs allocated to mobilization and
demobilization; and to determine eligibility for the 20 percent
evaluation preference for United States firms in the award of some
overseas construction contracts.
DFARS 236.570(a) prescribes use of the contract 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
modification.
DFARS 236.570(b) prescribes use of the following contract clauses
in fixed-price construction contracts and solicitations as applicable:
(1) The clause at DFARS 252.236-7002, Obstruction of Navigable
Waterways, which requires the contractor to notify the contracting
officer of obstructions in navigable waterways.
(2) The clause at DFARS 252.236-7003, Payment for Mobilization and
Preparatory Work, which requires the contractor to provide supporting
documentation when submitting requests for payment for mobilization and
preparatory work.
(3) The clause at DFARS 252.236-7004, Payment for Mobilization and
Demobilization, which permits the contracting officer to require the
contractor to furnish cost data justifying the percentage of the cost
split between mobilization and demobilization, if the contracting
officer believes that the proposed percentages do not bear a reasonable
relation to the cost of the work.
DFARS 236.570(c) prescribes use of the following solicitation
provisions in solicitations for military construction contracts that
are funded with military construction appropriations and are estimated
to exceed $1,000,000:
(1) The provision at DFARS 252.236-7010, Overseas Military
Construction--Preference for United States Firms, which requires an
offeror to specify whether or not it is a United States firm when
contract performance will be in a United States outlying area in the
Pacific or in a country bordering the Arabian Gulf.
(2) The provision at DFARS 252.236-7012, Military Construction on
Kwajalein Atoll--Evaluation Preference, requires an offeror to specify
whether it is a United States firm, or on Kwajalein Atoll, status as a
Marshallese firm, when contract performance is expected to exceed $1
million and will be on Kwajalein Atoll.
DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas. Requests for copies of the
information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1d6a756e33707e307c71786533786e7933707f65337979307972793074737b726f707c69747273307e727171787e697472736e5d707c747133707471"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="295e415a07444a0448454c51074c5a4d07444b51074d4d044d464d0440474f465b44485d404647044a4645454c4a5d4046475a694448404507444045">[email protected]</span></a>.
