B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information
that offerors and contractors must
submit to comply with the following
FAR requirements:
• FAR 52.222–2, Payment for
Overtime Premiums. This clause
requires the contractor to request
authorization for overtime premiums
costs that exceed the amount negotiated
in the contract. The request shall
include information on the affected
work unit current staffing and workload,
how a denial of the request would
impact performance on the instant
contract or other contracts, and reasons
why the work cannot be performed by
using multishift operations or by
employing additional personnel.
Contracting officers uses this
information to evaluate whether the
overtime is necessary.
• FAR 52.222–6, Construction Wage
Rate Requirements, and the Standard
Form (SF) 1444. This clause requires the
contractor to establish additional
classifications, if any laborer or
mechanic is to be employed in a
classification that is not listed in the
wage determination applicable to the
contract. In such cases, the contractor is
required to complete and submit an SF
1444, Request for Authorization of
Additional Classification and Rate,
along with other pertinent data,
containing the proposed additional
classification and minimum wage rate
including any fringe benefits payments.
The contracting officer submits the SF
1444 to the DOL Wage and Hour
Division with a request for conformance
review to determine the appropriateness
of the request.
• FAR 52.222–11, Subcontracts
(Labor Standards), and the SF 1413.
This clause requires contractors to
submit an SF 1413, Statement and
Acknowledgment, for each subcontract
for construction within the United
States, including the subcontractor’s
signed and dated acknowledgment that
the required labor clauses necessary to
implement various labor statutes have
been included in the subcontract.
Contracting officers review the
information on the form to ascertain
whether contractors have included the
required labor clauses in their
subcontracts.
• FAR 52.222–18, Certification
Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for
Listed End Products. This provision
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:22 Jan 10, 2022
Jkt 256001
(and its commercial equivalent in the
provision at 52.212–3) requires the
offeror, as part of its annual
representations and certifications, to
either certify in paragraph (c)(1) that it
will not supply an end product of a type
identified on the Department of Labor
(DOL) List of Products Requiring
Contractor Certification as to Forced or
Indentured Child Labor (https://
www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab), or certify in
paragraph (c)(2) that it has made a good
faith effort to determine whether such
child labor was used to mine, produce,
or manufacture such end product, and
is unaware of any such use of child
labor. This information is used by
Government to ensure that a good faith
effort has been made to determine
whether forced or indentured child
labor was used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any product on the List
furnished under the contract.
• FAR 52.222–33, Notice of
Requirement for Project Labor
Agreement. When a project labor
agreement (PLA) (a pre-hire collective
bargaining agreement described in 29
U.S.C. 158(f)) is required for a largescale construction contract, this
provision requires the offeror to submit
a copy of a PLA at the time offers are
due, prior to award, or after contract
award as determined by the agency.
During the evaluation of offers on a
construction contract, the contracting
officer reviews the offeror’s PLA to
determine if it conforms with all
statutes, regulations, and Executive
Orders.
• FAR 52.222–34, Project Labor
Agreement. When a PLA is required for
a construction contract, this clause
requires the contractor to maintain the
PLA in a current state throughout the
life of the contract. This recordkeeping
requirement is necessary for the
Government to ensure that the
contractor stays a party to the PLA
during the life of the construction
contract.
• FAR 52.222–46, Evaluation of
Compensation for Professional
Employees. This provision requires
offerors to submit for evaluation a total
compensation plan setting forth
proposed salaries and fringe benefits for
professional employees working on the
contract. The Government will use this
information to determine if professional
employees are compensated fairly and
properly. Plans indicating
unrealistically low professional
employees’ compensation may be
assessed adversely as one of the factors
considered in making a contract award.
