5. Include work of subcontractors, Government interfaces, and contract milestones.

6. Schedule activities to occur as early as possible without unwarranted constraints.

7. Adjust Construction Program/schedule for seasonal weather conditions. Provide a narrative explaining the expected weather and plan for incorporation in schedule.

Consider work influenced by high or low ambient temperatures or precipitation.

Utilize Primavera P6 calendars to depict historical weather days that impact work.

Assign weather calendars to work impacted by weather.

8. Reference activities to contract line item number (CLIN) and specification section identified in the Schedule using user-defined fields.

9. Define activities to level of detail resulting in their durations being no greater than 20 workdays:

16. Use durations in units of whole workdays.

17. Provide best estimate of time required to complete activity considering quantity of work, work conditions, location of work, and planned resources for activity.

18. Equate durations of Government reviews and other identified actions to maximum number of calendar days specified in their respective paragraphs.

19. Establish workday calendar(s) and use these in the schedule to translate activity's workday duration into calendar dates. Use unique calendar names; do not use software default calendar names. Save calendars as project calendars, not global calendars.

B. Baseline Schedule:

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. Meet monthly with COR at Government’s project office, by remote meeting, or at a location approved by the COR to review progress made to end date of progress payment period. Establish dates that activities were started and completed and remaining duration for each activity started but not completed during the period:

a. Discuss and mutually agree upon changes to the schedule.

b. Out-of-sequence activities are not allowed. Revise logic to reflect change in work plan.

c. Finalize updated Construction Program database with mutually agreed upon changes.

01 32 10 - 6

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

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 shall 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. Prepare a single time impact analysis for modifications issued after Notice to Proceed (NTP) and prior to approval update.

E. 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 or manufacture schedules, material orders, construction seasons, and labor 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

01 32 10 - 7 value engineering change proposal, or when a delay occurs as shown in approved updated schedule.
