SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Under Federal contracts requiring that equipment (e.g., pumps,
fans, generators, chillers, etc.) be installed in a project, the
Government must determine that the equipment meets the contract
requirements. Therefore, the contractor must submit sufficient data on
the particular equipment to allow the Government to analyze the item.
The Government uses the submitted data to determine whether or not
the equipment meets the contract requirements in the categories of
performance, construction, and durability. This data is placed in the
contract file and used during the inspection of the equipment when it
arrives on the project and when it is made operable.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average .25 hours per completion, 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 annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
3,160; responses per respondent, 1.5; total annual responses, 4,740;
preparation hours per response, .25; and total response burden hours,
1,185.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals
Requester may obtain a copy of the justification from the General
Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (MVRS), Room 4035, 1800 F
Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 208-7312. Please cite
