• Contractor obtains required permits as listed in Section 2.2.3

• CO issues DB Start Work Notice

• CO may authorize a limited NTP for any portion of the project at 100% design or for purchasing or stockpiling of approved material.

o Early construction may begin on any approved Specific Element Submittal at the sole risk of the DB

Contractor. Do not start work prior to approval or acknowledgement by the CO. The extent, acceptability, and schedule for early construction reviews will be mutually agreed as requested based on information contained in the Schedule and its approval. The CO will stop any work that does not comply with environmental, legal, standard or permitting requirements of the contract or project.

o Early elements of work would include but not limited to sourcing of materials, stockpiling, fabrication, and setting the staging area.

o Allow no less than 15 calendar days for NPS Review after submitting early release packages.

o Early release packages are limited to a total of 3 separate packages.

Purpose: Project schedule ensures adequate planning, coordinating, scheduling, and reporting of DB

Contractor’s design and construction activities. Project schedule will assist DB Contractor and CO to monitor work progress, evaluate proposed changes, and process DB Contractor's monthly progress payment requests.

Software: Latest version of Microsoft Project, Primavera Project Planner, SureTrak, or approved equal.

Schedule Development: Project schedule shall cover entire contract period. Late finish date is same as contract’s established completion date.

DB Contractor shall use Critical Path Method (CPM) with limited use of lead or lag durations between schedule

DB RFP GLCA 210865 | Page 17 of 60 activities. DB Contractor's project schedule shall consist of procurement activities (including mobilization, submittal, and fabrication and delivery of key and long-lead procurement items) and construction activities.

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

• Identify activities and numbers numerically (maximum 5-digit). Number activities in increments of 10.

• Concisely describe work represented by activity (maximum 48 characters). Avoid using non-standard abbreviations. Limit work related to each activity to one work trade.

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

DB Contractor shall ensure project schedule includes own work and Subcontractor work.

Follow all Federal, state, and local labor laws. Schedule at least 2 non-work days out of every 14 calendar days.

The selected non-work days do not need to be consecutive, but they must be scheduled.

Project schedule shall show sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of work and shall be cost and resource loaded. DB Contractor shall ensure work sequences are logical and project schedule shows a coordinated work plan. Proposed durations assigned to each activity shall be DB Contractor's best estimate of time required to complete activity, considering scope and resources planned. Resource loading of each activity shall list personnel by labor category and equipment type, and capacity proposed to complete activity in duration shown. Include permit requirements and constraints. Consider and include seasonal weather conditions in planning and scheduling of work influenced by high or low ambient temperatures and wind and/or precipitation, to ensure completion of work within contract time.

Project Schedule Updates

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

Narrative: Include in report:

• Brief description actual progress made during update period.

• Actual and potential delaying activities.

• Impediments to progress.

• Issues related to inclement weather.

• Progress toward established milestones.

• Project float.

• Brief description of work anticipated to be performed in next month.

• Identify minor revisions to schedule for evaluation and accepted or rejected.

As work progresses, indicate Actual Completion percentage for each activity. If schedule update shows late finish date after contract completion date, at a minimum, include the following in narrative with submission:

DB RFP GLCA 210865 | Page 18 of 60

• Known delays.

• Actions taken to get back on schedule.

• Pending modifications.

• Impediments or constraints affecting progress.

Progress Payments: Update currently accepted construction schedule monthly. If DB Contractor fails to provide monthly updates or revisions to currently accepted construction schedule, a portion of monthly payment may be retained until updates/revisions made.

Time Impact Analysis for Contract Modifications, Changes, Delays, and Contractor Requests

Requirements: When contract modifications or changes are initiated, delays are experienced, or DB Contractor revises project schedule, DB Contractor shall submit to the CO a written time impact analysis illustrating influence of each modification, change, delay, or DB Contractor’s request on the contract time.

• Time Extensions: Activity delays shall not automatically mean an extension of contract time is warranted or due to DB Contractor. It is possible that 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 available total float that may exist within an activity chain of the project schedule, thereby not effecting the contract time. Time extensions will be granted according with terms of contract.

• Float: Float is not for exclusive use or benefit for NPS or DB Contractor. Extension of contract time is granted only to extent the equitable time adjustments to activity or activities affected by modification, change, or delay exceeds total (positive or zero) float available on a particular activity.

NPS compliance staff will continue to monitor the project scope as design progresses and additional details related to the final design part of the Scope of Work being solicited within this RFP are required. The DB contractor will work with NPS and its Compliance contractor to provide required information to update a CE if needed and adjust design based on agency comments and recommendations.

Endangered Species Act(s) Compliance

It was determined in 2016 that there would be no adverse effects to any threatened or endangered species. Please see section 2.3.1 (Mitigations) for Endangered Species Act Compliance Requirements.

Historic Preservation Act(s) Compliance

The DB contractor will support all preconstruction compliance activities by providing design details, site plans, means and methods, best management practices, and so forth, and revising these work products based on agency comments and the results of consultation processes. All work associated with this project will meet the parameters set forth in the NPS Service-wide Programmatic Agreement for NHPA Section 106 Compliance.
