SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (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 for construction-manager-as-constructor 
(CMc) projects.
    The 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 private sector commonly uses a similar 
construction project delivery method, which allows for early industry 
engagement by the construction contractor to enable reduced cost 
growth, reduced schedule growth, and administrative savings.
    The information is used by contracting officers to evaluate 
proposals and negotiate contract modifications during contract 
administration. This collection supports the Government's shift toward 
category management by providing a more robust playbook framework for 
efficient procurement of construction services.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Total public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 400 total hours ($33,300) annually, including the 
time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, 
gathering, and maintaining the data needed, and completing and 
reviewing the collection of information. The estimated burden hours to 
the public for the below clauses are as follows:
    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.
    Respondents: 10.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Annual Responses: 10.
    Hours per Response: 40.
    Total Response Burden Hours: 400.
    Cost per Hour: $83.25.
    Estimated Cost Burden to the Public: $33,300.
    GSAR 552.236-80, Accounting Records, contains a recordkeeping 
requirement that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 
3501, et seq.). The clause requires the contractor to keep all relevant

[[Page 42411]]

documents for a period of three years after the final payment. However, 
the clause does not add burden to what is already estimated for the 
existing FAR clause at 52.215-2, Audit and Records by a previous 
information collection (see OMB Control Number 9000-0034).

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary; whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection 
of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
