E.7 PROJECT COMMUNICATIONS

E.7.1 General. DoS has an accredited a web-based Extranet that enhances the security associated with the exchange of DOS design/ construction data, and provides business applications that improve the communication between DoS and partner contracting activities.

The service name is ProjNet (Project Extranet). This service is available to support the Project Communication needs of both the Con-tractor and the USG.

E.7.2 System Capabilities. ProjNet has been developed to support web-based USG-to-Business applications related to the DOS’s fa-cility engineering, design, and construction projects worldwide. In general, ProjNet supports four generic types of business processes:

document collaboration, work product evaluation, contract monitoring, and information dissemination. The following applications are available to support the contract. While there are additional applications being developed, current and active applications are described below.

E.7.2.1 FILER: FILER is a collaborative application that allows authorized project participants to exchange documents among a spe-cific work group. ProjNet will support document collaboration among project teams. In FILER, drawings and related documents may be transmitted among business partners. FILER provides permission framework and access designations to files stored on the ProjNet server. As required, audit information may also be tracked. ProjNet’s FILER meets the FPS-140 USG requirement to electronically encrypt SBU data. FILER is currently DOS’s only approved method for transmitting Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) information across the Internet.

E.7.2.2 DrChecks: Contract deliverables (typically plans and specifications) will be reviewed for contract compliance utilizing a doc-ument review and checking tool called DrChecks. DrChecks assists the team (both contractor and USG) in collecting, organizing, and tracking issues to resolution. DrChecks is the tool that supports the Request for Information (RFI) process.

E.7.2.3 Submittal Register This electronic submittal tool standardizes and organizes construction submittals in a single location on-line. This application automates the workflow for construction submittals including the collection, coordination, technical evaluation, and approval of submittals in pdf format. The application is designed to be used by the General Contractor, his suppliers, the Designer of Record, and by Government Quality Assurance and technical staff. See Division 1 Section 013305 Construction Submittals for re-quirements on usage of the Submittal Register module in ProjNet.

E.7.3 Classification and Sensitivity of Data Processed ProjNet will support Unclassified and Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) data only. SBU/NOFORN (No Foreign Dissemination) information is not allowed on ProjNet. It is the responsibility of all ProjNet users to understand the Department of State’s classification guidelines, and to limit the distribution of data on the ProjNet site to unclassi-fied and SBU information only. All movement of electronic project files across the web will be limited to ProjNet in order to protect data from interception. The Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security will have complete access to all ProjNet data and logs with the purpose of enforcing classification guidelines. The hosting website and equipment supporting ProjNet are USG owned; all data passing across the website shall be construed as the property of the USG, subject to enforcement of its classification guidelines.

E.7.4 Service Operation. ProjNet uses secure socket layer (SSL) technology to transmit data between client and server. This techno-logy is built into the site so it is accessible from any Internet connection. Access to ProjNet begins with a request from the prime con-tractor to the COR. Each Prime Contractor’s Security Officer will be responsible for validating and approving its sub-contractors and vendors access requests before forwarding them to the COR. The COR will be responsible for the review and approval of all requests, and certifying access as necessary to the Department’s mission.

E.7.4.1 USG’s Role The USG will support the use of the SSL technology to all Contractors and their sub-contractors. The USG will assist users with login, program usage support, and management of server hardware and software. The USG will support the Contract-or’s implementation of ProjNet by providing an online training course, available via the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), at the Con-tractor’s expense. Instructions for completing the training will be provided by the COR.

E.7.4.2 Accounts and Passwords: All new ProjNet users, or those requiring remedial training, will be required to complete the For-eign Service Institute’s (FSI) distance learning course PA526- ProjNetSM (Facilitating Design and Construction Communication Util-izing the ProjNet Extranet Technology) in advance of being issued a new user account. The cost per person is approximately $125.

Once users have a connection to ProjNet, they identify themselves to the application using a unique password. RPM will be respons-ible for creating and setting up all user accounts. A unique password for each user is automatically generated for that user by the sys-tem. Using their unique password, users may login to the appropriate ProjNet application.

E.7.4.3 Contractor’s Role: It will be the Contractor’s responsibility to send the COR a complete list of all required users for the sys-tem from each company, including subcontractors required for the project. Requests for ProjNet access for any subcontracting firms or vendors owned by, or operated in, any country on the Prohibited Countries List, will not be approved. The USG will provide the con-tractor with a registration form requiring the name, telephone number, email address, and verification of US Citizenship for each Pro-jNet user. For requests involving non-US Citizens, the contractor must also provide country of citizenship, passport number, passport issue place and date, passport expiration, birth date and place, birth name and other names used, and name in the local language char-acters for each user. Requests for ProjNet access by citizens of any country on the Prohibited Countries List will not approved. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor’s Facility Security Officer to monitor and ensure their personnel are following the Business Rules associated with ProjNet (See Section E.7.5).

E.7.4.4 Contractor Connection Requirements All Construction project team members are required to have broadband Internet service and a compatible web browser to gain access and use ProjNet. Browser compatibility can be tested and confirmed on the ProjNet web-site.

E.7.5 Business Rules:

E.7.5.1 The Contractor is restricted from transporting unencrypted SBU data electronically across the Internet using email, FTP sites, or commercial web sites. OBO encourages contractors to transmit all contract drawings and documents as if they are SBU, in order to minimize risk.

E.7.5.2 ProjNet supports up to Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) data only. It is the responsibility of all ProjNet users to understand the Department of State’s classification guidelines, and to limit the distribution of data on the ProjNet site to unclassified and SBU in-formation. SBU/NOFORN information shall not be transmitted via the ProjNet site, or any other electronic transmission using the In-ternet.

E.7.5.3 Contractor personnel with access to ProjNet must be U.S. citizens or may be non-US Citizens that have obtained approval to operate the system from the Department of State (DOS). The contractor cannot grant non-U.S. citizens access to ProjNet without pri-or DOS approval. Contractors wishing to nominate non-US citizens for access must also provide country of citizenship, passport number, passport issue place and date, passport expiration, birth date and place, birth name and other names used, and name in the loc-al language characters, if applicable, for each user to the COR for registration/approval. Requests for ProjNet access by citizens of any country on the Prohibited Countries List will not approved. Government denial of non-U.S. Citizens or subcontractors for security reasons can be made without providing rationale for denial.

E.7.5.4 It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor’s Security Officer to register, maintain, and delete all user accounts to the sys-tem on a need to know basis.

E.7.5.5 Individual users in each office will be provided with a system-generated password that will enable access to that user only.

E.7.5.6 Users shall protect their passwords as SBU information, and refrain from sharing their access into the ProjNet system.

E.7.5.7 ProjNet workstations should not be left unattended while an active ProjNet work session is ongoing. Users should logout of ProjNet after each work session.

E.7.6 ProjNet Connectivity

ProjNet is utilized in a web-based environment and therefore subject to the inherent speed and connectivity problems of the Internet.

The Contractor is responsible for its own connectivity to the Internet. ProjNet response time is dependent on the Contractor's equip-ment, including processor speed, Internet access speed, current traffic on the Internet, bandwidth, and hardware latency. The Govern-ment will not be liable for any delays associated from the usage of ProjNet including, but not limited to: slow response time, down time periods, connectivity problems, or loss of information. The contractor should ensure that connectivity to the ProjNet system is ac-complished through DSL, cable or other broad band connection. Under no circumstances shall ProjNet usage be grounds for a time ex-tension or cost adjustment to the contract.

F.8.1 The Contractor will be allowed time, not money, for excusable delays as defined in FAR 52.249-10, Default (see Section/ Paragraph I.153). Examples of such cases include (l) acts of God or of the public enemy; (2) acts of the United States Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity; (3) acts of the government of the host country in its sovereign capacity; (4) acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Government; (5)fires; (6) floods; (7) epidemics; (8) quarantine restrictions; (9) strikes; (l0) freight embargoes; and (11) unusually severe weather.

F.8.2 In each instance, the failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, and the failure to perform furthermore (1) must be one that the Contractor could not have reasonably anticipated and taken adequate measures to protect against, (2) cannot be overcome by reasonable efforts to reschedule the work, and (3) directly and materially affects the date of final completion of the project.

F.8.3 In determining whether the Contractor’s failure to perform is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Con-tractor, if the Contractor contends that its inability to perform is due to poor security conditions, the Government will consider, at a minimum, the following: (i) whether the Contractor implemented adequate security resources, in light of the information reasonably available to the Contractor; (ii) whether the Contractor deployed adequate additional security resources in a timely manner and on an expedited basis, once the need for additional security resources became reasonably clear; and (iii) whether the security conditions were directly impacting the Contractor in its performance of its contract (as opposed to generalized assessments of security conditions in an entire country or city). Furthermore, the mere fact that the diplomatic post in the city or country where the contract was being performed changed its operating status (e.g., from Authorized Departure to Ordered Departure) or that a new travel warning, warden message, or similar document or communication was issued by the Department of State, will not establish that the security conditions prevented the Contractor from performing the Contract.

F.11 PROJECT EXECUTION SCHEDULE

See also J.3.4, Project Specific Division 1, Section 013205

F.11.1 Project Execution Schedules shall be submitted to the COR for acceptance (reference F.9, item 13). The schedule shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on and time periods within which the Contractor con-templates starting and completing the various portions of the work, in the form and containing such detail as is required by the Con-tract Documents. The Contractor shall revise such schedules (1) to account for the actual progress of the work, (2) to reflect approved adjustments in the Contract Time, and (3) as required by the COR to achieve coordination with work by the Government and separate contractors. If the Contractor fails to submit any schedule or schedule revision within the time prescribed, the CO may withhold ap-proval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule or schedule revision.

F.11.2 Acceptance of schedule. When the Government has accepted any time schedule, it shall be binding upon the Contractor. The Contract Time is fixed by the contract, and may be extended only by a written Contract modification, Change Order or Supplemental Agreement signed by the Contracting Officer. Acceptance or approval of any schedule or revision thereof by the Government shall not (1) be effective to extend the Contract Time or obligate the Government to do so, (2) constitute acceptance of any delay, nor (3) excuse the Contractor from or relieve the Contractor of its obligation to maintain the progress of the work and achieve final comple-tion within the Contract Time.

F.11.3 Recording progress. The Contractor shall record the actual progress of the work against the approved schedules in the form and at intervals as may be required by the COR.

F.11.4 Notice of delay. In the event the Contractor receives a notice of any change in the work, or if any other conditions arise which are likely to cause or are actually causing delays which the Contractor believes may result in completion of the project after the Con-tract Time, the Contractor shall notify the COR of the effect, if any, of such change or other conditions upon the accepted schedule, and shall state in what respects, if any, the relevant schedule or the Contract Time should be revised. Such notice shall be given promptly, and not more than 30 calendar days following the first occurrence of event giving rise to the delay or prospective delay. Re-visions to the accepted Progress Schedule shall only be made with the approval of the COR.

F.11.5 Maintenance of progress. If the Contractor falls behind an accepted schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to im-prove its progress or overcome any delays and ensure completion of the work within the Contract Time, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the contractor shall demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained and shall sub-mit for acceptance a supplementary schedule or schedules. Methods may include: increase of any or all of the number of shifts, over-time operations, days of work, and the amount of construction planned.

F.11.6 Schedule revision and equitable adjustments. Upon the request of the Contractor, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of the any failure to adhere to the performance schedule resulting from alleged excusable delay. If the Contracting Officer determines that any failure to perform results from one or more of the causes for an excusable delay, the relevant schedules shall be revised, subject to the rights of the Government under the termination clause of this contract. In addition, if and to the extent considered appropriate in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the Contract Time.

F.12 DOCUMENTATION OF REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION

F.12.1 Any request for a time extension must be supported by the following data, and any other relevant data requested by the COR:

F.12.2 For any delays for which an extension of time is requested, (a) the exact date and degree of work stoppage, (b) the date of re-sumption of any or all parts of such work, and (c) a description of the nature of the delay and the degree, if any, to which the Contract-or could have reasonably anticipated and guarded against such delay or damage incidental thereto.

F.12.3 For delays in receipt of Contractor furnished materials, (a) the date the materials were ordered, (b) the dates of anticipated de-livery at the port of entry and at the project site, (c) the date the materials were scheduled for use or installation by the Contractor, (d) the date the materials were shipped, and (e) the dates the materials were actually received at the port of entry, cleared customs, and were delivered to the project site.

F.12.4 For delays in receipt of Government furnished materials, the date the materials were scheduled for use or installation by the Contractor and the date(s) the materials were actually received at the port of entry, cleared customs, and were delivered to the project site.

F.12.5 For delays in receipt of Government approvals of submittals properly prepared, reviewed and approved by the Contractor be-fore their submission as required by the Contract Documents, (a) the date of submission, (b) the date approvals were received by the Contractor, and (c) the date that installation or fabrication indicated by the submittals were begun, compared with the dates indicated by the current approved construction schedule and schedule of submittals.

F.12.6 For weather delays, (a) average weather conditions during a comparable period over the preceding ten years, (b) a daily log re-cording the actual weather conditions during the relevant time period, and (c) the dates work affected by the weather conditions were scheduled to be performed and the actual dates of performance.
