Assign Workers per Day for all field construction or direct work activities, if directed by the Contracting Officer. Workers per day shall be the average number of workers expected each day to perform a task for the duration of that activity.

Assign responsibility code for all activities to the Prime Contractor, Subcontractor(s), or Government agency responsible for performing the activity.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 7

Assign Work Area codes to activities based upon the work area in which the activity occurs. Define work areas based on resource constraints or space constraints that would preclude a resource, such as a particular trade or craft work crew, from working in more than one work area at a time due to restraints on resources or space. Examples of Work Area Coding include:

Activities shall not have more than one Work Area Code.

Not all activities are required to be Work Area coded. A lack of Work Area coding will indicate the activity is not resource or space constrained. For projects that do not require the Contractor to work in multiple areas of a building or multiple building on the Installation, work area coding may not be necessary. Unacceptable code values are abbreviations of the names of subcontractors.

Assign a Modification Number Code to any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule as a result of a Contract Modification, when approved by Contracting Officer. Key all Code values to the Government's modification numbering system. An activity can have only one Modification Number Code.

Assign a Bid Item Code to all activities using the Contract Line Item

Schedule (CLIN) to which the activity belongs, even when an activity is not cost loaded. An activity can have only one BIDI Code.

Assign Phase of Work Code to all activities. Examples of phase of work are:

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 8

Assign Category of Work Code to all Activities based upon the category of work to which the activity belongs. Category of Work Code must include, but is not limited to:

Assign a Feature of Work Code to appropriate activities based on the

Definable Feature of Work to which the activity belongs based on the approved

QC plan.

Definable Feature of Work is defined in Section 01 45 00.10 20 QUALITY

CONTROL FOR MINOR CONSTRUCTION. An activity can have only one Feature of

Work Code.

Milestone activities are to be used for significant project events including, but not limited to

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 9

The use of artificial float constraints such as "zero free float" or "zero total float" are prohibited.

Mandatory constraints that ignore or effect network logic are prohibited. No constrained dates are allowed in the schedule other than those specified herein. Submit additional constraints to the Contracting Officer for approval on a case by case basis.

The first activity in the project schedule must be a start milestone titled

"NTP Acknowledged," which must have a "Start On" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP is acknowledged.

The last activity in the schedule shall be a finish milestone titled "End

Project."

The project schedule must be constrained to the Contract Completion Date in such a way that if the schedule calculates an early finish, then the float calculation for "End Project" milestone reflects positive float on the longest path. If the project schedule calculates a late finish, then the

"End Project" 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.

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

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.

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.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 10

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 days provided in the contract clause TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER. The assignment of the non-work days should be over a seven-day week since weather records are compiled on seven-day weeks, which will cause some of the weather related non-work days to fall on weekends.

Only two (2) open ended activities are permitted:

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

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.

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 Representative. Propose logic corrections to eliminate all out of sequence progress or justify not changing the sequencing for approval prior to submitting an updated project schedule.

Correct out of sequence progress that continues for more than two update cycles by logic revision, as approved by the Contracting Officer

Representative.

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.

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.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 11

Lags must be reasonable as determined by the Government and not used in place of realistic original durations, must not be in place to artificially absorb float, or to replace proper schedule 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 allowed.

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.

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

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).

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 $35,000 or 1 percent of the present contract value, whichever is greater, up to $200,000. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's approval.

Cost load the "Submission and approval of O & M manuals" activity not less than $20,000. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the

Government's approval of all O & M manuals.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 12

Paragraph applicable to contracts with clause entitled TIME EXTENSIONS FOR

UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER. Reflect the number of anticipated adverse weather delays allocated to a weather sensitive activity in the activity's calendar.

An Early Completion Schedule is an Initial Project Schedule (IPS) that indicates all scope of the required contract work will be completed before the contractually required completion date.

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 3.5 entitled SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

Within 15 calendar days after the NTP is acknowledged submit the Preliminary

Project Schedule defining the planned operations detailed for the first 90 calendar days for approval. The approved Preliminary Project Schedule will be used for payment purposes not to exceed 90 calendar days after NTP.

Completely cost load the Preliminary Project Schedule to balance the contract award CLINS shown on the Price Schedule. The Preliminary Project Schedule may be summary in nature for the remaining performance period. It must be early start and late finish constrained and logically tied as specified. The

Preliminary Project Schedule forms the basis for the Initial Project Schedule specified herein and must include all of the required plan and program preparations, submissions, and approvals identified in the contract (for example, Quality Control Plan, Safety Plan, and Environmental Protection

Plan). Activity code any activities that are summary in nature after the first 90 calendar days with Bid Item (CLIN) code (BIDI), Responsibility Code

(RESP) and Feature of Work code (FOW).

Submit the Initial Project Schedule for approval no later than the

Preconstruction Meeting. The schedule must demonstrate a reasonable and realistic sequence of activities which represent all work through the entire contract performance period. Cover in the preliminary construction schedule the entire construction effort with as much detail as is known at the time but, as a minimum, include all construction start and completion milestones, and detailed construction activities, including all activity coding and cost loading. The approved Initial Project Schedule will be used for payment purposes. Completely cost load the Initial Project Schedule to balance the contract award CLINS shown on the Schedule of Values. No payment will be made for work items not fully detailed in the Project Schedule.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 13

Update the 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 3.6, entitled PERIODIC SCHEDULE

UPDATE MEETINGS. These updates will enable the Government to assess

Contractor's progress.

3.5 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Submit the following items for the Initial Schedule and every Periodic

Schedule Update throughout the life of the project:

Provide Initial Schedule and Periodic Schedule updates in both PDF format and in the format of the scheduling software being used for the project.

Electronic files may be mailed on data CD/DVDs or provided via email

(preferred). Schedule updates shall be provided throughout the life of the project. Label each CD/DVD indicating the type of schedule (Preliminary, Initial, or Update – indicate date), full contract number, Data Date and file name. Each schedule shall have a unique file name and use the project specific settings. Email updates shall include the same information within the note for the purpose of tracking updates through the life of the project.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 14

Include only those project schedule changes in the schedule submission that have been previously approved by the Contracting Officer.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 15

The Contractor shall provide schedule updates no less than once a month (if necessary) and more frequently if warranted by project complexity, changes in project scope, or if requested by the Contracting Officer. Frequency of reporting shall be defined in the contract documents.

Daily report shall be assembled and submitted to the Contracting Officer

Representative on a weekly basis. The daily report shall include the following reported daily:

Show milestone dates on the project schedule for start of project, any contract required interim completion dates, and contract completion date.

Clearly show the critical path on the project schedule.

3.6 PERIODIC SCHEDULE UPDATE MEETINGS

Conduct periodic schedule update meetings at least weekly to coincide with project meetings.. See contract documents for the required frequency of these meetings. The Contractor's Project Manager and Project Scheduler shall attend the meeting with the Contracting Officer Representative. The

Contract Officer may call more frequent meetings if warranted by schedule delays or other project related issues. The schedule update meeting shall be run by the Contractor. Meetings shall occur within five (5) days of the proposed schedule update and after the Contractor has updated the schedule with Government concurrence regarding actual start dates, actual finish dates, remaining durations, and percent complete for each activity he intends to status. Contractor shall provide a means of reviewing the project schedule whether it be with a computer loaded with the scheduling software and a projector or paper copies to be distributed at the meeting which allows all meeting participants to view the proposed schedule update during the meeting. The meeting and resultant approvable schedule update shall be a condition precedent to a formal submission of the update as described in paragraph 3.5 entitled SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS and to the submission of an invoice for payment.

The meeting will be a working interactive exchange which will allow the

Government and the Contractor the opportunity to review the updated schedule on a real time and interactive basis. The meeting is not last longer than one (1) hour. The Contractor's authorized scheduling representative will organize, sort, filter and schedule the update as requested by the

Government. An updated schedule shall be provided to the Government two (2) working days in advance of the meeting. Superintendents, foremen and major subcontractors must attend the meeting as required to discuss the project schedule and work. Following the periodic schedule update meeting, make corrections to the draft schedule submission. Include only those changes approved by the Government in the submission and invoice for payment.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 16

Submit a complete update of the project schedule containing all approved progress, revisions, and adjustments resulting from the schedule update meeting not later than five (5) working days after the schedule update meeting reflecting any changes made during the schedule update meeting.

3.7 WEEKLY PROGRESS MEETINGS

Conduct a weekly meeting with the Government (or as otherwise mutually agreed

to) between the meetings described in paragraph 3.6, entitled PERIODIC

SCHEDULE UPDATE MEETINGS for the purpose of jointly reviewing the actual progress of the project as compared to the as planned progress and to review planned activities for the upcoming two weeks. Use the current approved schedule update for the purposes of this meeting and for the production and review of reports. At the weekly progress meeting, address the status of

RFIs, RFPs and Submittals.

The purpose of this meeting is to jointly review the actual progress of the project as compared to the as planned progress and to review planned activities for the upcoming two weeks. The then current and approved schedule update shall be used for the purposes of this meeting and for the production and review of reports. The Contractor’s site supervisor and the

Contracting Officer Representative shall attend.

Provide a bar chart organized to show current and future construction activities including a two week "look-ahead" schedule by filtering all schedule activities to show only current ongoing activities and activities schedule to start during the upcoming two weeks.

The Government and the Contractor shall jointly review the reports. If it appears that activities on the longest path(s) which are currently driving the calculated completion date (driving activities), are not progressing satisfactorily and therefore could jeopardize timely project completion, corrective action must be taken immediately. Corrective action includes but is not limited to: increasing the number of work crews; increasing the number of work shifts; increasing the number of hours worked per shift; and determining if Government responsibility coded activities require Government corrective action.

3.8 REQUESTS FOR TIME EXTENSIONS

Provide a justification of delay to the Contracting Officer in accordance with the contract provisions and clauses for approval within 10 days of a delay occurring. Also prepare a time impact analysis for each Government request for proposal (RFP) to justify time extensions.

Provide a description of the event(s) that caused the delay and/or impact to the work. As part of the description, identify all schedule activities impacted. Show that the event that caused the delay/impact was the

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 17 responsibility of the Government. Provide a time impact analysis that demonstrates the effects of the delay or impact on the project completion date or interim completion date(s). Multiple impacts must be evaluated chronologically; each with its own justification of delay. With multiple impacts consider any concurrency of delay. A time extension and the schedule fragnet becomes part of the project schedule and all future schedule updates upon approval by the Contracting Officer.

Prepare a time impact analysis for approval by the Contracting Officer based on industry standard AACE 52R-06. Utilize a copy of the last approved schedule prior to the first day of the impact or delay for the time impact analysis. If Contracting Officer determines the time frame between the last approved schedule and the first day of impact is too great, prepare an interim updated schedule to perform the time impact analysis. Unless approved by the Contracting Officer, no other changes will be incorporated into the schedule being used to justify the time impact.

The Contracting Officer must approve the Justification of Delay including the time impact analysis before a time extension will be granted. No time extension will be granted unless the delay consumes all available Project

Float and extends the projected finish date ("End Project" milestone) beyond the Contract Completion Date. The time extension will be in calendar days.

Actual delays that are found to be caused by the Contractor's own actions, which result in a calculated schedule delay, will not be a cause for an extension to the performance period, completion date, or any interim milestone date.

No extended overhead will be paid for delay prior to the original Contract

Completion Date for an Early Completion IPS unless the Contractor actually performed work in accordance with that Early Completion Schedule. The

Contractor must show that an early completion was achievable had it not been for the impact.

3.9 FAILURE TO ACHIEVE PROGRESS

Should the progress fall behind the approved project schedule for reasons other than those that are excusable within the terms of the contract, the

Contracting Officer may require provision of a written recovery plan for approval. The plan must detail how progress will be made-up to include which activities will be accelerated by adding additional crews, longer work hours, extra work days, etc.

Artificially improving progress by means such as, but not limited to, revising the schedule logic, modifying or adding constraints, shortening activity durations, or changing calendars in the project schedule is prohibited. Indicate assumptions made and the basis for any logic, constraint, duration and calendar changes used in the creation of the

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 18 recovery plan.
