About this file
This is a technical specification document for Construction Progress Documentation (Section 01 32 00) issued by The University of Texas at Austin's Campus Operations for the Red & Charline McCombs Softball Stadium Renovation project, a Construction Manager-at-Risk delivery with a Construction Cost Limitation of $9,400,000.00. The specification establishes mandatory requirements for construction scheduling throughout all project phases from pre-construction through final completion, requiring contractors to develop and maintain a Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule using Oracle Primavera P6 software. The contractor must assign a dedicated scheduler meeting specific qualifications—either possessing an undergraduate degree in a construction-related field with five years of continuous experience on similar projects, or five years of experience without a degree—who shall serve as an integral part of the project team on-site full-time during construction services. The specification mandates submission of a baseline construction schedule within prescribed timeframes following a mandatory Planning and Scheduling Workshop conducted within fifteen calendar days after Notice to Proceed, with monthly schedule updates required thereafter at minimum five work days prior to payment applications. The baseline schedule must maintain a minimum of ten percent total float and include detailed activities limited to thirty work days maximum duration, comprehensive work breakdown structure organized by project phase and location, responsibility codes for all parties, and specific milestone activities spanning from pre-construction through commissioning and project closeout.
The specification requires contractors to submit construction schedule documentation in multiple formats including Primavera P6 backup files (.xer format) and Adobe PDF reports, with all reports to include specific footer information, date blocks, and title blocks identifying project numbers and report types. Contractors are prohibited from using "Progress Override" scheduling mode and must employ "Retained Logic" methodology for progressed activities, while all activity durations shall be calculated in work days based on a five-day work week calendar excluding specified holidays and owner-designated non-work periods. The specification establishes strict requirements for schedule recovery plans if slippage occurs, fragnet revisions for change orders affecting completion dates, and procedures for excusable delays and time extensions administered through the Uniform General Conditions. Failure to submit an acceptable baseline construction schedule within prescribed timeframes results in forfeiture of all claims for schedule extensions and delays, with the owner reserving the right to withhold payments related to construction scheduling and general conditions costs, or deduct monies for project scheduling and schedule recovery costs if parties cannot agree on a baseline schedule.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
SECTION 01 32 00 2 10/29/2021
SECTION 01 32 00 – CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS DOCUMENTATION
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 DEFINITIONS
A. The term “Baseline Schedule,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to a fixed projection of the project schedule. It is the standard by which project performance is measured.
B. The term “Calendar Day,” as used throughout the contract documents, is any day of the week, including weekends and holidays.
C. The term “Construction Schedule” (a.k.a. Work Progress Schedule as defined by the UGC), as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the schedule for the construction phase of the Project as developed, monitored and maintained, by the Contractor’s Scheduler, and as used by the Project Team during Pre-Construction and/or Construction Services.
D. The term “Critical Path,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the sequence of activities that determines the longest duration for the Project when the Longest Path has zero or less Total Float, the Longest Path becomes the Critical Path.
E. The term “Critical Path Method” (CPM), as used throughout the contract documents, is a technique used to predict project duration by analyzing which sequence of activities has the least amount of scheduling flexibility. Early dates are figured by a forward pass using a specific start date and late dates are figured by using a backward pass starting from a completion date.
Most scheduling programs (e.g., Microsoft Project, Primavera) automatically calculate the Longest Path using the CPM to identify critical activities.
F. The term “Data Date,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the day after the date through which a schedule is current. Everything occurring earlier than the data date is "as-built" and everything on or after the data date is "planned."
G. The term “Detailed Schedule,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to a schedule with small-scale, well-defined activities that are typically less than 30 calendar days in length.
H. The term “Fragnet,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to a copy of the Construction Schedule (or portion thereof) used to conduct an analysis of proposed changes or revisions to the Construction Schedule.
I. The term “Free Float,” as used throughout the contract documents, is the time by which an activity may be delayed or extended without affecting the start of any succeeding activity. Note:
Free float can never be negative.
J. The term “Longest Path,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the sequence of interdependent activities that aggregate to determine the minimum duration of a project.
K. The term “Milestone Schedule,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to a schedule with specific non-duration related activities, work packages, stages, or phases, typically marked by a high-level event such as an approval, execution of a contract, Notice to Proceed, issuance of a set of documents, completion of work, etc.
L. The term “Owner’s Designated Representative” (ODR), as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the Project Manager assigned by the Owner to act on its behalf, and to undertake certain activities as specifically outlined in the Contract. For the purposes of this specification section, the words “Owner” and “Owner’s Designated Representative” are
SECTION 01 32 00 3 10/29/2021
interchangeable. The ODR is the only party authorized to direct changes to the scope, cost, or time of the contract.
M. The term “Precedence Diagramming Method” (PDM), as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the relationship between activities by linking sequences with precedence relationships in the development of the Construction Schedule.
N. The Term “Project” means all activities necessary for the realization of the Work. This includes design, contract award(s), execution of the Work itself, and fulfillment of all contract and warranty obligations.
O. The term “Project Team,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the Owner, Architect, Design Consultants, User, Contractor and Subcontractors (as applicable) that are contracted and/or specifically assigned to the Project.
P. The term “Total Float,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to the time by which an activity may be delayed or extended without affecting the total project duration or violating a target finish date (i.e. Substantial Completion Date).
Negative Total Float indicates that the Project is late, while Positive Total Float is the property of the Project and does not belong to any one party (Refer to the UGC).
Q. For the term “Weather Day” – Refer to Uniform General Conditions (UGC) Section 9.6.2.1.
R. The term “Work Day,” as used throughout the contract documents, shall refer to a day in which a minimum of 8 hours of work is planned, excluding weekends and holidays.
1.2 PURPOSE
A. Time is an essential part of this contract. Therefore, the timely and successful completion of the Work requires careful planning and scheduling of all activities inherent in the completion of the Project.
B. Acceptance of the Construction Schedule, or any subsequent update thereof by the Owner, is for format and extent of detail of the Construction Schedule only. Such “Acceptance” does not indicate approval of the Contractor’s means or methods, or of any change to the contract terms including without limitation any required contract Milestones.
C. The Construction Schedule shall be developed to allow for a minimum amount of Total Float for the Project during Pre-Construction and/or Construction Services, and shall be formatted in a manner that facilitates reporting of progress and trends, identification of risks and opportunities, projecting upcoming activities, and forecasting of project milestones.
D. The Owner must be able to reasonably rely on the Contractor’s Construction Schedule for projected activity dates in order to make accurate commitments to design professionals, contractors, vendors, user group(s), campus administration and other parties as necessary.
E. This specification applies to all project delivery methods regardless of contract type. For Projects with multi-phase delivery, the requirements within shall pertain to each.

Current and Anticipated Problem, Delays and Impact
1. The slab deflections are greater than the engineer’s model. If a load test is required, this could have an impact on our schedule. After the meeting on February 1, 2006, Contractor was unofficially informed that a load test was not going to be performed. However, Contractor has not received the official report indicating this issue is resolved.
2. The issuance of construction documents for interior finishes dated 2/22/06 were received on February 24, 2006. Contractor is currently reviewing these drawings and will forward on any schedule impacts created by these drawings.
3. The brick veneer was delivered and it did not match the mockup. Our subcontractor is currently working with their suppliers to have the brick remade. Contractor continues to track this issue and
SECTION 01 32 00 15 10/29/2021
will forward any schedule impacts created by this issue.
Added, Deleted and Revised activities and Logic
1. New activities named “1st, 2nd, and 3rd Owner-EXT. Finish Inspection” were added on schedule instead of the Owner-EXT. Finish Inspections of each side to reflect actual construction sequence.
2. Added new activity for “Insulate Duct Work” and tied to “Frame hard ceiling” as a predecessor with FS relationship.
3. Revised the activity description “Install/Insulate process pipe” to “Install process pipe”.
4. Set Plumbing Fixtures is tied to 2nd Side Drywall with FS relationship as a successor to reflect actual sequence.
5. Deleted the FS relationship between Install Brick Veneer, Cast Stone (P1LE04****) and Install
Deck & Felt @ Roof (P1LR05****) to reflect actual sequence.
6. Deleted the FS relationship between Install Brick Veneer, Cast Stone (P1LE04****) and Install
Wood Soffits, Gutter System (P1LE07****) to reflect actual sequence.
7. Deleted the FS relationship between Owner-Roof Inspection (P1LR077500) and Install Wood
Soffits, Gutter System (P1LE07****) to reflect actual sequence.
8. Install Process Pipe @ Level 6 Wall is tied to Insulate Process Pipe @ Level 1 with FS as a predecessor to reflect actual construction sequence.
