SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Federal agencies use the Standard Form (SF) 330 to obtain
information from architect-engineer (A-E) firms about their
professional qualifications. Federal agencies select firms for A-E
contracts on the basis of professional qualifications as required by 40
U.S.C. Chapter 11, Selection of Architects Engineers, and Part 36 of
the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
SF 330, Part I is used by all Executive agencies to obtain
information from architect-engineer firms interested in a particular
project. The information on the form is reviewed by a selection panel
to assists in the selection of the most qualified architect-engineer
firm to perform the specific project. The form is designed to provide a
uniform method for architect-engineer firms to submit information on
experience, personnel, and capabilities of the architect-engineer firm
to perform, along with information on the consultants they expect to
collaborate with on the specific project.
SF 330, Part II is used by all Executive agencies to obtain general
uniform information about a firm's experience in architect-engineering
projects. Architect-engineer firms are encouraged to update the form
annually. The information obtained on this form is used to determine if
a firm should be solicited for architect-engineer projects.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 5,000.
Responses per Respondent: 4.
Total Responses: 20,000.
Hours per Response: 29.
Total Burden Hours: 580,000.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of 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 valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
