Abstract: The information contained
Department of Veterans Acquisition
Regulation (VAAR) Clauses 852.236–72,
Alternate I to 852.236–80, 852.236–82,
852.236–83, 852.236–84, and 852.236–
88 is necessary for VA to administer
construction contracts, and to carry out
its responsibility to construct, maintain
and repair real property for the
Department.
a. VAAR Clause 852.236–72,
Performance of Work by the Contractor,
requires contractors awarded a
construction contract containing Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause
52.236–1, to submit a statement
designating the branch or branches of
contract work to be performed by the
contractor’s own forces. The VAAR
clause implements the FAR clause by
requiring the contractor to provide
information to the contracting officer on
how the contractor intends to fulfill this
contractual obligation. The contracting
officer uses this information to ensure
that the contractor complies with the
contract requirements.
b. Alternate I to Clause 852.236–80,
Work Coordination, require
construction contractors, on contracts
involving complex mechanicalelectrical work, to furnish coordination
drawings showing the manner in which
utility lines will fit into available spaces
and relate to each other and to the
existing building elements. The
information is used by the contracting
officer and VA engineer assigned to the
project to resolve any problems relating
to the installation of utilities on
construction contract.
c. VAAR Clause 852.236–82,
Payments Under Fixed-Price
Construction Contracts (without NAS),
requires construction contractors to
submit a schedule of costs for work to
be performed under the contract. If the
contract includes guarantee period
services, Alternate I requires contractor
to submit information on the total and
itemized costs of the guarantee period
services and to submit a performance
plan/program. The information is
needed to allow the contracting officer
to determine the correct amount to pay
the contractor as work progresses and to
properly proportion the amount paid for
guarantee period services.
