SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Government contracting officers may
include FAR clause 52.222–32, DavisBacon Act—Price Adjustment (Actual
Method) in fixed-price solicitations and
contracts, subject to the Davis-Bacon
Act under certain conditions. The
conditions are that the solicitation or
contract contains option provisions to
extend the term of the contract and the
contracting officer determines that the
most appropriate method to adjust the
contract price at option exercise is to
use a computation method based on the
actual increase or decrease from a new
or revised Department of Labor DavisBacon Act wage determination.
The clause requires that a contractor
submit at the exercise of each option to
extend the term of the contract, a
statement of the amount claimed for
incorporation of the most current wage
determination by the Department of
Labor, and any relevant supporting data,
including payroll records, that the
contracting officer may reasonably
require. The information is used by
Government contracting officers to
establish the contract price adjustment
for the construction requirements of a
contract, generally if the contract
requirements are predominantly
services subject to the Service Contract
Act.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 842.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 842.
Hours per Response: 40.

information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the FAR,
and whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the
public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
