Pricing Practices for Reimbursable Work Authorizations

This interim rule modifies the Public Buildings Service's (PBS's) pricing practices for Reimbursable Work Authorizations (RWAs). Currently, our customer agencies are billed the actual costs for supplies, materials, labor, contract costs and overhead related to the RWA. This interim rule establishes a fixed price policy for one-time RWA's, such as painting, cleaning and alterations. A fixed price RWA is one in which the authorized amount is the billed amount including all project changes. The fixed price will change only if the work request is modified or unforeseen site conditions arise. Customers will not have to pay for delays caused by GSA. Fixed price reimbursables will help PBS: Act as a provider of choice with the new delegation of alterations authority to agencies for alterations up to $100,000; implement predominant commercial sector pricing practices; and enhance the satisfaction and quality of service to our customers by making the work faster through streamlined processes.
