Overview
FAR 37.300 defines the scope of Subpart 37.3, which establishes the specific procedures for government contracts focused on the dismantling, demolition, or removal of buildings and other real property structures.
Key Rules
- Applicability: The subpart applies to contracts for dismantling or demolition of buildings, ground improvements, and other real property structures.
- Removal: It covers the actual removal of these structures, or portions thereof, from a site.
- Standardized Terminology: The subpart adopts the collective phrase "dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements" to encompass all activities described within this scope.
Practical Implications
- Categorization: Contracting officers must utilize this subpart when the primary requirement is the destruction or clearing of real property, ensuring the correct clauses and procedures are applied versus general service or construction contracts.
- Property Preparation: This scope is typically triggered during the initial phases of land redevelopment or when existing structures become safety hazards or are no longer required for agency missions.
