**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 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.
