1. Represents Contractor’s as-planned approach to accomplishing the work. Do not include actual start dates, percent completes, or actual finish dates.

C. Updated Schedule:

1.08 TIME IMPACT ANALYSIS

A. Provide time impact analysis for contract changes (e.g., change order, proposed modification, or value engineering change proposal) to support a claim or request for equitable adjustment to the contract due to delay or accelerated schedule.

B. The CO may use time impact analysis to determine if time extension or reduction to contract milestone dates is justified.

Boulder Canyon Project, Arizona, Nevada Solicitation No.

Construction Program 01 32 10 - 6

1. Time impact analysis is required for contract changes whether the Contractor’s current schedule milestone dates are the same as, earlier than, or later than, those required under the contract.

2. Changes, additions, or deletions to activities; activity durations; activity time frames; or activity predecessors and successors will not automatically determine that extension or reduction of contract time is warranted or due the Contractor.

3. Time extensions for performance will be considered only to the extent that the Contractor’s current scheduled milestone dates exceed contract milestone dates.

C. Float is not for exclusive use by or benefit of either the Government or the Contractor.

D. Perform time impact analyses using data in most recent approved schedule update prior to change or delay event.

1. Prepare proposed revised schedule and narrative description describing and highlighting changes or delays.

2. Prepare summary comparing results of two schedule analyses: One using current schedule data from last approved updated schedule prior to event requiring analysis, and one using proposed schedule data incorporating changes or delays.

a. Show contract milestones and activities whose periods of performance have shifted as result of change which affects production and/or manufacture schedules, material orders, construction seasons, and labor and/or equipment utilization.

b. For activities directly affected by change or delay, include the current and proposed items:

1) Activity description.

2) Types and quantities of major pieces of equipment, principal manpower, and pacing materials (materials that affect activity start, duration, or finish).

3) Activity duration.

4) Narrative containing rationale used in developing the proposed logic relationships and activity data.

c. Data date for impacted schedule used in comparison shall be the same as approved updated schedule data date.

d. Base schedule comparisons on status of work and available float at time the CO directs or proposes change to the work, the Contractor submits a value engineering change proposal, or when a delay occurs as shown in approved updated schedule.
