The project schedule shall be updated on a monthly basis throughout the entire contract period and until project substantial completion. The status date of each schedule update shall be 10 days before the progress payment request date.

Construction work cannot begin until government approval is obtained for either:

• The entire set of 100% Complete DB Construction documents.

• For fast track construction, the 100% Complete DB Construction documents affecting the work to be constructed.

Purpose: The purpose of the project schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during execution of design and construction activities of the DBC. The project schedule will assist the DBC and the Contracting Officer in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the DBC's monthly progress payment requests.

Software: The software shall be the latest version of Microsoft Project, Primavera Project Planner, SureTrak, or approved equal.

Schedule Development: The project schedule shall cover the entire contract period. The late finish date of the project schedule shall be the same date as the established completion date of the contract.

The DBC shall use the Critical Path Method (CPM) with limited use of lead or lag durations between schedule activities. The DBC's project schedule shall consist of procurement activities (including mobilization, submittal, and the fabrication and delivery of key and long-lead procurement items) and construction activities.

The DBC's project schedule shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following for each activity:

• Identify each and every activity number with numerical designations (maximum 5-digit).

Numbering of activities shall be in increments of 10.

Template Date 3-7-17 | Page 13 of 43

• Concise description of the work represented by the activity (maximum 48 characters). Avoid the use of non-standard abbreviations. The work related to each activity shall be limited to one work trade.

• Activity duration in whole working days with a maximum duration of 15 work days each, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer, except for non-construction activities including mobilization, shop drawing and sample submittals, fabrication of materials, delivery of materials and equipment, and concrete curing.

In developing the project schedule, the DBC shall be responsible for ensuring that subcontractor work at all tiers, as well as its own work, is included in the project schedule.

The project schedule shall show the sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of the work. It shall be cost and resource loaded. The DBC shall be responsible for ensuring all work sequences are logical and the project schedule shows a coordinated work plan.

Proposed durations assigned to each activity shall be the DBC's best estimate of time required to complete the activity considering the scope and resources planned for the activity. Resource loading of each activity shall list all personnel by labor category and equipment type and capacity proposed to complete the activity in the duration shown. Include permit requirements and constraints. Seasonal weather conditions shall be considered and included in the planning and scheduling of all work influenced by high or low ambient temperatures, wind and/or precipitation to ensure completion of all work within the contract time.

Project Schedule Updates

Monthly updates: The monthly updating of the project schedule shall be an integral part and basic element of the estimate upon which progress payments shall be made under this contract. If, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, the DBC fails or refuses to provide a schedule of values and a complete schedule update or revision as specified hereinafter, the DBC shall be deemed to have not provided the required information upon which the progress payment may be made, and shall be subject to retainage of a portion of the payment.

Narrative: The report shall include a brief description of the actual progress made during the update period; actual and potential delaying activities; any impediments to progress; issues related to inclement weather; progress toward established milestones and project float. The report shall include a brief description of the work anticipated to be performed in the next month. Any minor revisions to the schedule should be identified so they can be evaluated and accepted or rejected.

As the Work progresses, indicate Actual Completion percentage for each activity.

If the schedule update shows a late finish date after the contract completion date, at a minimum, include the following in the narrative with your submission:

• Any known delays.

• Actions that will be taken to get back on schedule.

• Pending modifications.

• Impediments or constraints affecting progress.

Progress Payments: The monthly updating of the currently accepted Construction Schedule shall be an integral part of the process upon which progress payments will be made under this contract. If the

Template Date 3-7-17 | Page 14 of 43

Contractor fails to provide schedule updates or revisions, then a portion of the monthly payment may be retained until such corrections have been made.

Time Impact Analysis for Contract Modifications, Changes, Delays, and Contractor Requests Requirements: When contract modifications or changes are initiated, delays are experienced, or the DBC desires to revise the project schedule, the DBC shall submit to the Contracting Officer a written time impact analysis illustrating the influence of each modification, change, delay, or DBC request on the contract time.

Time Extensions: Activity delays shall not automatically mean that an extension of the contract time is warranted or due the DBC. It is possible that a modification, change, or delay will not affect existing critical activities or cause non-critical activities to become critical. A modification, change, or delay may result in only absorbing a part of the available total float that may exist within an activity chain of the project schedule, thereby not causing any effect on the contract time. Time extensions will be granted in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the National Park Service or the DBC.

Extension of the contract time will be granted only to the extent the equitable time adjustments to the activity or activities affected by the modification, change, or delay exceeds the total (positive or zero) float available on a particular activity.
