F.5 PROJECT EXECUTION SCHEDULE

This work includes continued development of the Project Execution Schedule (PES) that was originally submitted by the contractor with their proposal. The contractor shall incorporate all Government comments into an Initial Project Execution Schedule (IPES) and submit them to the CO and COR within 21 days of award. Once approved by the COR, this schedule will be used as the Baseline Project Execution Schedule (BPES). Failure of the Government to find all mistakes and omission in the proposal schedule does not relieve the contractor of contract requirements.

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. The Contractor shall revise such schedules (1) to account for the actual progress of the work, (2) to reflect CO approved adjustments in the Contract Time, and (3) as required by the COR to achieve coordination with work by the Government and separate contractors. 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 completion within the Contract Time.

The Contractor shall submit PES schedules on the last day of the preceding month for the next month’s work or more frequently if directed by the COR. The schedule shall sequence work to minimize disruptions at the jobsite. If the Contractor fails to submit any schedule or schedule revision within the time prescribed, the Government may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule or schedule revision.

19AQMM25R0042 Page 18 of 107

Recovery Schedule - If the Contractor falls more than 10% behind an accepted schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to improve 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. Methods may include: increase of any or all of the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and the amount of construction planned. Recovery scheduled shall be submitted for review on a weekly basis to the CO and COR.

F.6 WORK HOURS

All work shall be performed during Monday through Saturday, except for the Ghanaian holidays.

Working hours for Monday through Saturday shall be eight (8) hours per day. The specific working hours (start and finish times) will be determined after contract award. Once the work schedule has been approved by the COR, other hours, if requested by the Contractor, may be submitted to the COR for consideration. Any change in the agreed to/approved working days and/or hours must receive the approval of the COR. The Contractor shall submit any such requests 24 hours in advance to COR who will consider any deviation from the hours identified above. Changes in the work schedule, if approved by the COR, will not be a cause for a price increase or additional time.

As this contract is for construction taking place on a non-US Government property, the Contractor is not required by this contract to consider or observe U.S. holidays. However, the Contractor must act in compliance with local holidays and shall exercise due diligence to ensure local customs, appropriate compensation issues, and labor laws are addressed.

F.7 EXCUSABLE DELAYS

The Contractor will be allowed time, not money, for excusable delays as defined in FAR 52.249-10, Default. Examples of such cases include (1) 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; (10) freight embargoes; and (11) unusually severe weather.

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.

In determining whether the Contractor’s failure to perform is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, 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

19AQMM25R0042 Page 19 of 107 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.

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 Contract Time, the Contractor shall notify both the COR and CO 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 10 calendar days following the first occurrence of event giving rise to the delay or prospective delay.

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.8 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

1. This clause specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the contract clause entitled "Default: (Fixed Price Construction)".

In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project.

The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the contractor.

2. The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on available weather data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The contractor's baseline project execution schedule (BPES) must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

19AQMM25R0042 Page 20 of 107

3. Upon acknowledgment of the NTP and continuing throughout the contract, the contractor will record daily weather conditions, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the contractor's scheduled workday.

The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in paragraph 2, above, the contracting officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair-weather workdays, and issue a modification in accordance with the contract clause entitled "Default (Fixed Price Construction)".

F.9 DELIVERABLES/SUBMITTALS

At the time of contract award, the Contractor must commence work to furnish the necessary document submittals within specified time. All deliverables shall be in the English language, unless otherwise provided hereunder, and any system of dimensions (i.e., English or metric) shown shall be consistent with that used in the contract. No extension of time shall be allowed because of a delay by the Government in approving such deliverables if the Contractor has failed to act promptly and responsively in submitting its deliverables. Each deliverable shall be identified as required by the contract. The contractor shall furnish the following deliverables/submittals listed as follows as well as all other identified under this contract.
