The time of delivery or performance is
an essential contract element and must be clearly stated in
solicitations and contracts. The contracting officer may set forth
a required delivery schedule or may allow an offeror to propose an
alternate delivery schedule, for other than those for construction
and architect-engineering, by inserting in solicitations and
contracts a clause substantially the same as either FAR 52.211-8,
Time of Delivery, or FAR 52.211-9, Desired and Required Time of
Delivery. The information is needed to assure supplies or services
are obtained in a timely manner.
The information collection
requirement in the FAR remains unchanged except hourly rates and
overhead which are supported by the following discussion. The base
wage hourly rate of $34 per hour is a GS11 Step 5 in the Washington
area. A 100% overhead rate is applied to the wage rate. For the
government, this is comprised of a 32.85% fringe benefit rate
recommended by OMB in their August 8, 2006 memorandum Cost Saving
Achieved Through E-Government and Line of Business Initiatives
(M-06-22) and an estimated 67.15% overhead rate. This overhead rate
compares to audited and federally approved overhead rates at
leading universities. It is estimated these overhead rates are
similar for the Federal Government. For this analysis, the public
wages for this task are assumed to be the same. This is a base wage
hourly rate of $34 per hour or a GS11 Step 5 in the Washington
area. A 100% overhead rate is applied to the wage rate. Overhead
rates of federal private contractors are also estimated at 100%.
This is comprised of a fringe benefit rate of 32.85%, profit of 7%,
and overhead rate of 60.15%. This estimate is supported by the
history of relative closeness of A-76 competitions. The total
annual responses number has also been updated to reflect current
information from FPDS-NG.
