40-Sec 01 32 16 - NARRATIVE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf

This is a Narrative Construction Schedule specification document prepared for the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Morrisville's 2026 Design/Build Curb Ramp Project located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The specification outlines the contractor's requirements for preparing, maintaining, and revising a detailed construction project schedule that monitors progress and duration of project operations. The contractor must submit an initial schedule based on the anticipated Notice to Proceed date, identifying the start dates for both the design and construction phases and specifying the order of completing each intersection. The schedule submission must include activity descriptions and locations, activity durations measured in working days, and calendar start and finish dates for all activities. Additionally, the contractor shall provide a workday calendar indicating work and non-work days, number of shifts per day, and hours per shift, with sufficient activity detail to demonstrate necessary interdependencies. The Owner's Engineer will review and respond to the detailed schedule and supporting documentation within ten calendar days of receipt. The contract duration is set at forty-five consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

The Owner reserves the right to withhold progress payments until an acceptable construction schedule is submitted and approved. If the schedule is not received prior to the start of construction, the contractor will be required to attend a scheduling meeting to prepare an acceptable schedule, with the Owner potentially withholding progress payments until scheduling is completed. All submissions must be made electronically through PennBid by November 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The project involves ADA and PennDOT-compliant curb ramp installation with associated sidewalk, curbing, and sign work at specified locations within Morrisville Borough, with all materials, labor, and equipment required to comply with PennDOT Publication 408 and Borough Standards. The project includes a base bid and seven alternate bids, with assistance from CDBG funding. Bidders must submit a certified check or bid bond equal to ten percent of the bid amount and are required to provide performance bonds, labor and material payment bonds, and a maintenance bond.
