About this file

This is a final design specifications document for the Repair Intersection Runway 03-21 & 15-33 project at Joint Base Charleston Air Base North Charleston, South Carolina. The project involves removal and replacement of 136 individual concrete pavement panels measuring 25 feet wide by 25 feet long by 24 inches deep at the intersection of primary and secondary runways. Work will be performed nightly between 2300 and 0700 hours Thursday through Monday, with the runway reopened for daily aircraft traffic each morning. The contractor must utilize specialized equipment including sawing and removal equipment for 24-inch pavement, volumetric mixers capable of placing minimum 50 cubic yards of fast-setting concrete per shift, and temporary panel installation systems. Permanent panels must be constructed from fast-setting concrete achieving aircraft-traffic-ready strength within 3-4 hours. Ancillary work includes asphalt shoulder milling and overlay, installation of new runway centerline and edge lighting, runway markings application, pavement grinding for smoothness compliance, and pavement grooving. The specifications address all major construction elements: earthwork, demolition, concrete paving, asphalt paving, cold milling, grooving, joint sealing, partial-depth patching, airfield lighting installation, quality control procedures, environmental controls, waste management, and comprehensive closeout requirements including as-built drawings and operations and maintenance manuals.

The specifications establish rigorous quality control and administrative requirements including critical path method scheduling with monthly updates, submittal management using government forms, preconstruction and progress meetings, designer of record quality assurance oversight, and multiple testing and inspection protocols. All work must comply with safety requirements per EM 385-1-1, environmental regulations including stormwater management and waste diversion (minimum 60 percent construction waste diversion), and airfield operational safety procedures. The contractor must provide a qualified superintendent with minimum 10 years' experience, site safety and health officer, quality control manager, environmental manager, and qualified project scheduler. Submittals require government approval for critical items including preconstruction plans, schedules, safety documents, equipment certifications, test reports, and environmental compliance documentation. Performance standards include strict tolerances for pavement smoothness (maximum 1/4 inch deviation), compaction requirements (95-100 percent), and concrete strength specifications (5,000 psi minimum at 28 days with specific air content and slump requirements).

3.2 BASIS FOR PAYMENT AND COST LOADING

The Baseline Cost Loaded CPM Project Schedule is the basis for determining contract earnings during each update period and therefore the amount of each progress payment. The aggregate value of all activities coded to a contract CLIN must equal the value of the CLIN.

Lack of an approved updated Cost Loaded CPM Project Schedule may result in an inability of the Contracting Officer to evaluate the Contractor's progress for the purposes of payment. The Baseline Cost Loaded CPM Project Schedule shall be submitted for approval within 30 calendar days after the Notice of Award has been acknowledged.

The Contractor is responsible for scheduling, sequencing, budgeting, and executing work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

Government acceptance extends only to the activities of the Contractor's schedule that the Government has been assigned responsibility and agrees it is responsible. Comments offered on other parts of the schedule, to which the Contractor is assigned responsibility, are offered as a courtesy and are not conditions of Government acceptance; but are for the general conformance with established industry scheduling concepts.

The Contractor shall submit a Schedule and Pay Request Calendar with the Baseline Cost Loaded CPM Project Schedule within 30 calendar days after the Notice of Award has been acknowledged. Reference Attachment A as an example. The Schedule and Pay Request Calendar shall forecast dates for the following:

The only predecessor to the Contract Completion Date Milestone shall be the Projected Completion Milestone. The CCD Shall be equal to the Period of Performance (in Calendar Days) added to the NTP date.

Constrain the project schedule to the Contract Completion Date in such a way that if the schedule calculates an early finish, then the float calculation for "Contract Completion Date" milestone reflects positive float on the longest path. If the project schedule calculates a late finish, then the "Contract Completion Date" milestone float calculation reflects negative float on the longest path. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate Government activities to support a Contractor's early completion.

3.3.6.5 Interim Completion Dates and Constraints

Constrain contractually specified interim completion dates to show negative float when the calculated late finish date of the last activity in that phase is later than the specified interim completion date.

3.3.6.5.1 Start Phase

Use a start milestone as the first activity for a project phase. Call the start milestone "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.6.5.2 End Phase

Use a finish milestone as the last activity for a project phase. Call the finish milestone "End Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.7 Calendars

Schedule activities on a Calendar to which the activity logically belongs. Develop calendars to accommodate any contract defined work period such as a 7-day calendar for Government Acceptance activities, concrete cure times, etc.

Develop the default Calendar to match the physical work plan with non-work periods identified including weekends and holidays. Develop Seasonal Calendar(s) and assign to seasonally affected activities as applicable.

All activity durations and float values shall be shown in calendar days.

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 6 5 5 5 5 8 9 9 7 5 4 6

If an activity is weather sensitive it should be assigned to a calendar showing non-work days on a monthly basis, with the non-work days selected at random across the weeks of the calendar, using the anticipated adverse weather delay days. The above chart in paragraph 3.3.8.1 indicates the amount of weather days to be accounted for in the Critical Path Method Schedule for those activities that are weather sensitive. A lost workday due to weather conditions is defined as a day in which the Contractor cannot reasonably work at least 50 percent of the day on the impacted activity.

Use the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Summary of Monthly Normals report to obtain the historical average number of days each month with precipitation, using a nominal 30-year, greater than 0.10 inch precipitation amount parameter, as indicated on the Station Report for the NOAA location closest to the project site as the basis for establishing a "Weather Calendar" showing the number of anticipated Non-workdays for each month due to adverse weather, in addition to Saturdays, Sundays and all Federal Holidays as non-work days. Table

3.3.8.1 indicates this anticipated schedule for Joint Base Charleston.

3.3.7.2 Government Holidays

The following holidays shall be incorporated into the Project Schedule as non-work days. Follow the procedures identified in Specification 01 14 00 to request work on the following days. Reference the Office of Personnel Management Website (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/federal-holidays/#url=Overview) for the most current information regarding Government Holidays and the specific days for observance:

3.3.8 Open Ended Logic

Only two open ended activities are allowed: the first activity "Contract Award Date" may have no predecessor logic, and the last activity, "Contract Completion Date" may have no successor logic.

Predecessor open ended logic may be allowed in a time impact analyses upon the Contracting Officer's approval.

3.3.9 Default Progress Data Disallowed

Actual Start and Finish dates must not automatically update with default mechanisms included in the scheduling software. Updating of the percent complete and the remaining duration of any activity must be independent functions. Disable program features that calculate one of these parameters from the other. Activity Actual Start (AS) and Actual Finish (AF) dates assigned during the updating process must match those dates provided in the Contractor Quality Control Reports. Failure to document the AS and AF dates in the Daily Quality Control report will result in disapproval of the Contractor's schedule.

3.3.10 Out-of-Sequence Progress

Activities that have progressed before all preceding logic has been satisfied (Out-of-Sequence Progress) will be allowed only on a case-by-case basis subject to approval by the Contracting Officer.

Propose logic corrections to eliminate out of sequence progress or justify not changing the sequencing for approval prior to submitting an updated project schedule. Address out of sequence progress or logic changes in the Narrative Report and in the periodic schedule update meetings.

3.3.11 Added and Deleted Activities

Do not delete activities from the project schedule or add new activities to the schedule without approval from the Contracting Officer. Activity ID and description changes are considered new activities and cannot be changed without Contracting Officer approval.

3.3.12 Original Durations

Activity Original Durations (OD) must be reasonable to perform the work item. OD changes are prohibited unless justification is provided and approved by the Contracting Officer.

3.3.13 Leads, Lags, and Start to Finish Relationships

Lags, Leads (negative lags), and Start-to-Finish (SF) relationships are prohibited.

3.3.14 Retained Logic

Schedule calculations must retain the logic between predecessors and successors ("retained logic" mode) even when the successor activity(s) starts and the predecessor activity(s) has not finished (out-of-sequence progress). Software features that in effect sever the tie between predecessor and successor activities when the successor has started and the predecessor logic is not satisfied ("progress override") are not be allowed.

SECTION 01 32 00 Page 8

3.3.15 Percent Complete

Update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of earned value. Activities which are complete but for remaining minor punch list work and which do not restrain the initiation of successor activities may be declared 100 percent complete to allow for proper schedule management.

3.3.16 Remaining Duration

Update the remaining duration for each activity based on the number of estimated calendar days it will take to complete the activity. Remaining duration may not mathematically correlate with percentage found under paragraph entitled Percent Complete.

3.3.17 Cost Loading of Closeout Activities

Cost load the "Correction of punch list from Government pre-final inspection" activity(ies) not less than 1 percent of the present contract value. Activity(ies) may be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's verification of completion and correction of all punch list work identified during Government pre-final inspection(s).

3.3.17.1 As-Built Drawings

If there is no separate contract line item (CLIN) for as-built drawings, cost load the "Submission and approval of as-built drawings" activity not less than 1 percent of the present contract value. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's approval.

3.3.17.2 O & M Manuals

Cost load the "Submission and approval of O & M manuals" activity not less than 1 percent of the overall contract value. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's approval of all O & M manuals.

3.3.18 Early Completion Schedule and the Right to Finish Early

An Early Completion Schedule is a Baseline Project Schedule that indicates all scope of the required contract work will be completed before the contractually required completion date.

a. a. No Baseline Project Schedule indicating an Early Completion will be accepted without being fully resource-loaded (including crew sizes and man-hours) and the Government agreeing that the schedule is reasonable and achievable..

b. b. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate work items it is responsible for to ensure that the early completion is met nor is it responsible to modify incremental funding (if applicable) for the project to meet the contractor's accelerated work.

c. c. If an Early Completion Schedule is proposed by the Contractor and accepted by the Government, the difference between the Early Completion CCD and the original CCD will be considered project float.

Project float, as defined herein, is shared by the Contractor and the Government. The decision to modify the contract to reflect the Early Completion CCD will rest with the Contracting Officer.

SECTION 01 32 00 Page 9

3.4 PROJECT SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS

Provide the submissions as described below. The data CD/DVD, reports, and network diagrams required for each submission are contained in paragraph SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. If the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish the information and schedule updates as set forth herein, then the Contractor will be deemed not to have provided an estimate upon which a progress payment can be made.

Review comments made by the Government on the schedule(s) do not relieve the Contractor from compliance with requirements of the Contract Documents.

3.4.1 Schedule Acceptance Prior to Start of Work

The Contracting Officer and/or Contracting Officer's Representative and the Contractor shall participate in a preliminary meeting(s) to discuss the proposed schedule and requirements of this section prior to the Contractor submitting the Project Baseline Cost Loaded CPM Schedule. This preliminary meeting is to be requested by the Contractor to the Contracting Officer.

a. The Contractor starting work on the demolition or construction stage(s) of the contract.

b. Processing Contractor's pay request(s) for construction activities/items of work.

c. Review of any schedule updates.

Submittal of the Baseline Cost Loaded CPM Schedule and subsequent schedule updates shall be understood to be the Contractor's certification that the submitted schedule meets all of the requirements of the Contract Documents, represents the Contractor's plan on how the work shall be accomplished, and accurately reflects the work that has been accomplished and how it was sequenced (as-built logic).

3.4.2 Periodic Schedule Updates

Update the Cost Loaded CPM Project Schedule on a regular basis, monthly at a minimum. Provide a draft Periodic Schedule Update for review at the schedule update meetings as prescribed in the paragraph PERIODIC SCHEDULE UPDATE MEETINGS. These updates will enable the Government to assess Contractor's progress.

a. Update information including Actual Start Dates (AS), Actual Finish Dates (AF), Remaining Durations (RD), and Percent Complete is subject to the approval of the Government at the meeting.

b. AS and AF dates must match the date(s) reported on the Contractor's Quality Control Report for an activity start or finish.
