SECTION 01 32 16 – CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section consists of Construction Schedule requirements including but not limited to the following:

1. Schedule of Values.

2. Construction Schedule Requirements.

3. Construction Schedule Updates.

4. Time Impact Analysis.

B. Purpose: The purpose of the Construction Schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during execution of the work by the Contractor. The Construction

Schedule will assist the Contractor and Project Manager in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the Contractor's monthly progress payment.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.

B. Cost Loading: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of an activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer.

C. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project.

D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the

Contractor but is jointly owned.

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.

F. Resource Loading: The allocation of manpower and equipment necessary for the completion of an activity as scheduled.

G. Fragnet: A partial or fragmentary network that breaks down activities into smaller activities for greater detail.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Electronic Copies: All schedules and reports submitted shall be submitted to NPS in the native electronic file format. (A pdf version of the schedule shall also be provided on 11x17 sheets in a manner that is clearly readable one page at a time).

B. Construction Schedule

1. After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference, submit

Construction Schedule in critical path (CPM) format showing estimated starting and completion dates for each activity or item of work, for the entire duration of the project.

2. The CPM schedule shall be updated for each construction progress meeting. Schedule updates shall provide a three week look ahead at upcoming activities and identify any deviation from the approved project schedule.

3. The CPM schedule shall be updated monthly showing approved schedule and actual progress and submitted with the monthly payment request.

4. Prepare schedules using Microsoft Project or approved equal that has been developed specifically to manage construction schedules.

C. Schedule of Values:

1. After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference submit a schedule of dollar values based on the Contract Price Schedule. Include bond costs, mobilization, general condition costs, overhead, and profit, and each major category of work.

2. The total cost of all items shall equal the contract sum. The Schedule of Values will form the basis for progress payments as provided for in the General Conditions.

Baseline Schedule, all required updates, revisions, and preparation of reports.

1.5 COORDINATION

A. Coordinate preparation and processing of schedules and reports with performance of construction activities and with scheduling and reporting of separate Contractors.

2. Secure time commitments for performing critical elements of the Work from parties involved.

3. Coordinate each construction activity in the network with other activities and schedule them in proper sequence.
