1.03 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE

A. The CONTRACTOR shall have the capability of preparing and utilizing the specified construction progress scheduling techniques. A statement of capability shall be submitted in writing to the ENGINEER with the return of the executed Agreement to the OWNER and will verify that either the CONTRACTOR's organization has in-house capability qualified to use the technique or that the CONTRACTOR employs a consultant who is so qualified. Capability shall be verified by description of the construction projects to which the CONTRACTOR or its consultant has successfully applied the scheduling technique, and which were controlled throughout the duration of the project by means of systematic use and updating of the construction progress schedule, the network analysis and associated reports. The submittal shall include the name of the individual on the CONTRACTOR's staff who will be responsible for the construction progress schedule, and associated reports and for providing the required updating information of same. The CONTRACTOR shall submit its proposed progress (baseline) schedule to the ENGINEER for review and comment within thirty days of the Notice to Award. The ENGINEER shall have the authority to determine acceptability/correctness of the schedule logic and activity interrelationships. The use of extraneous, nonworking activities and activities which add restraints to the construction schedule shall not be accepted. Baseline schedules that do not meet their contract completion dates shall not be accepted.

B. The CONTRACTOR’s progress schedule (baseline and monthly updates) shall be computer generated and resource loaded. Each construction progress schedule, and associated report shall include the following tabulations: a list of activities in numerical order, a list of activity precedence, schedules sequenced by Early Start Date, Total Float, and Late Start Date. Each schedule and report shall include the following minimum items.

1. Activity Numbers

2. Estimated Duration

3. Activity Description

4. Early Start Date (Calendar Dated)

5. Early Finish Date (Calendar Dated)

6. Latest Allowable Start Date (Calendar Dated)

7. Latest Allowable Finish Date (Calendar Dated)

8. Status (whether critical)

9. Estimated Cost of The Activity

10. Total Float and Free Float

C. In addition, each construction progress schedule, network analysis and report shall be prefaced with the following summary data:

1. Contract Name and Number

2. CONTRACTOR’s Name

3. Contract Duration and Float

4. Contract Schedule

5. The Effective or Starting Date of The Schedule (the date indicated in the Notice-to-Proceed)

01 33 00 – 3

D. The workday to calendar date correlation shall be based on an 8-hour day and 40-hour week with adequate allowance for holidays and all other special requirements of the Work. A total of fifteen (15) calendar days per year for adverse weather shall also be allowed for in the progress schedule, as noted in Article 50.

E. If the CONTRACTOR desires to make changes in its method of operating which affect the construction progress schedule and related items, the CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER in writing stating what changes are proposed and the reason for the change. If the ENGINEER accepts these changes, in writing, the CONTRACTOR shall revise and submit, without additional cost to the OWNER, all of the affected portions of the construction progress schedule, and associated reports. The construction progress schedule and related items shall be adjusted by the CONTRACTOR only after prior acceptance, in writing by the ENGINEER. Adjustments may consist of changing portions of the activity sequence, activity durations, division of activities, or other adjustments as may be required. The addition of extraneous, nonworking activities and activities which add restraints to the construction progress schedule shall not be accepted.

F. Except where earlier completions are specified, schedule dates which show completion of all Work prior to the contract completion date shall, in no event, be the basis for claim for delay against the OWNER by the CONTRACTOR.

G. Construction progress schedules and related items which contain activities showing negative float or which extend beyond the contract completion date will not be accepted by the ENGINEER.

H. Whenever it becomes apparent from the current construction progress schedule and associated reports that delays to the critical path have resulted and the contract completion date will not be met, or when so directed by the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall take some or all of the following actions at no additional cost to the OWNER. They shall submit to the ENGINEER for approval, a written statement of the steps they intend to take to remove or arrest the delay to the critical path in the current construction progress schedule, including a computer-generated schedule revision to reflect proposed actions.

1. Increase construction manpower in such quantities and crafts as will substantially eliminate the backlog of work.

2. Increase the number of working hours per shift, shifts per day, working days per week, the amount of construction equipment, or any combination of the foregoing, sufficiently to substantially eliminate the backlog of work.

3. Reschedule activities to achieve maximum practical concurrency of accomplishment of activities and comply with the revised schedule.

I. If when so requested by the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR should fail to submit a written statement of the steps they intend to take or should fail to take such steps as reviewed and accepted in writing by the ENGINEER, the ENGINEER may direct the CONTRACTOR to increase the level of effort in manpower (trades), equipment and work schedule (overtime, weekend and holiday work, etc.) to be employed by the CONTRACTOR in order to remove or arrest the delay to the critical path in the current construction progress schedule, and the CONTRACTOR shall promptly provide such level of effort at no additional cost to the OWNER.

01 33 00 – 4

J. If the completion of any activity, whether or not critical, falls more than 100 percent behind its previously scheduled and accepted duration, the CONTRACTOR shall submit for approval a schedule adjustment showing each such activity divided into two activities reflecting completed versus uncompleted work.

K. Shop drawings which are not approved on the first submittal or within the time scheduled, and equipment which does not pass the specified tests and certifications shall be immediately rescheduled.

L. The contract time will be adjusted only in accordance with the General Requirements and other portions of the Contract Documents as may be applicable. If the ENGINEER finds that the CONTRACTOR is entitled to any extension of the contract completion date, the ENGINEER's determination as to the total number of days extension shall be based upon the current construction progress schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data shall be included in the next updating of the schedule and related items. Actual delays in activities which, according to the construction progress schedule, do not affect any contract completion date will not be the basis for a change therein.

M. From time to time it may be necessary for the contract schedule of completion time to be adjusted by the OWNER in accordance with the General Requirements and other portions of the Contract Documents as may be applicable. Under such conditions, the ENGINEER will direct the CONTRACTOR to reschedule the Work or contract completion time to reflect the changed conditions, and the CONTRACTOR shall revise the construction progress schedule and related items accordingly, at no additional cost to the OWNER.

N. Available float time may be used by the OWNER through the OWNER’s ENGINEER.

O. The OWNER controls the float time and, therefore, without obligation to extend either the overall completion date or any intermediate completion dates, the OWNER may initiate changes that absorb float time only. OWNER initiated changes that affect the critical path on the network diagram shall be the sole grounds for extending the completion dates. CONTRACTOR initiated changes that encroach on the float time may be accomplished only with the OWNER’s concurrence. Such changes, however, shall give way to OWNER initiated changes competing for the same float time.

P. To the extent that the construction project schedule, or associated report or any revision thereof shows anything not jointly agreed upon or fails to show anything jointly agreed upon, it shall not be deemed to have been accepted by the ENGINEER. Failure to include on a schedule any element of Work required for the performance of this Contract shall not excuse the CONTRACTOR from completing all Work required within any applicable completion date, notwithstanding the review of the schedule by the

ENGINEER.

Q. Review and acceptance of the construction progress schedule, and related reports, by the ENGINEER is advisory only and shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR of the responsibility for accomplishing the Work within the contract completion date. Omissions and errors in the construction progress schedule, and related reports shall not excuse performance less than that required by the Contract and in no way make the ENGINEER an insurer of the CONTRACTOR’s success or liable for time or cost overruns flowing from any shortcomings in the construction progress schedule, and related reports.

R. The CONTRACTOR shall present and discuss the proposed schedule at the preconstruction conference.

01 33 00 – 5

S. The construction progress schedule shall be based upon the precedence diagramming method of scheduling and shall be prepared in the form of a horizontal bar chart showing in detail the proposed sequence of the Work and identifying all construction activities included but not limited to yard piping, all structures and treatment units and all related Work specified herein to be performed under the Contract.

The schedule shall be time scaled, identifying the first day of each week, with the estimated date of starting and completion of each stage of the Work in order to complete the project within the contract time. The project critical path shall be clearly identified in color or by other means acceptable to the

ENGINEER.

T. The progress schedule shall be plotted on 22-inch by 34-inch and 11-inch by 17-inch paper and shall be revised and updated monthly, depicting progress through the last day of the current month and scheduled progress through completion. Ten (one 22-inch by 34-inch and nine 11-inch by 17-inch), schedules, required schedule “sorts” (tabulations) and an electronic copy of the baseline schedule shall be submitted for review and acceptance. Five (one 22-inch by 34-inch and four 11-inch x 17-inch) up-to-date copies of the schedule and five copies of tabulations and an electronic copy shall be submitted along with the application for monthly progress payments for the same period.

U. The construction progress schedule shall be developed and maintained using Primavera Sure Trak as manufactured by Primavera Systems, Inc., or equal.

1.04 SCHEDULE OF PAYMENT VALUES

A. The CONTRACTOR shall submit a Schedule of Payment Values, for all items in the proposal that are to be paid for on a lump sum basis. The schedule shall contain the labor and material values of the component parts of Work for the purpose of making progress payments during the construction period.

The Schedule of Payment Values shall directly correlate on an item-by-item basis (unless otherwise accepted by the ENGINEER) to each individual activity detailed in the construction progress schedule.

B. The schedule shall be given in sufficient detail for the proper identification of Work accomplished. Each item shall include its proportional share of all costs including the CONTRACTOR's overhead, contingencies, and profit. The sum of all scheduled items shall equal the total value of the Contract.

C. If the CONTRACTOR anticipates the need for payment for materials stored on the project site, it shall also submit a separate list covering the cost of materials, delivered and unloaded with taxes paid. This list shall also include the installed value of the item with coded reference to the Work items in the Schedule of Payment Items.

D. The CONTRACTOR shall expand or modify the above schedule and materials listing as required by the ENGINEER’s initial or subsequent reviews.

E. The CONTRACTOR shall update the Schedule of Payment Values monthly for reviewing by the ENGINEER. The payment applications shall be reviewed by the ENGINEER in accordance with the updated Schedule of Payment Values.
