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

This is a Narrative Construction Schedule specification document for Bristol Township's 2026 Road Paving, Inlet Replacement, and Curb Ramp Program in Pennsylvania. The specification outlines the contractor's requirement to prepare, maintain, and revise a detailed construction project schedule that monitors progress and duration of project operations. The contractor must submit an initial schedule prior to construction commencement, based on the anticipated Notice to Proceed Date, which outlines the anticipated start dates for milling and paving operations for both base bid and alternate bid roadway work. The schedule submission must include minimum requirements such as activity descriptions and locations, duration in working days, start and finish calendar dates, and a workday calendar indicating work days and non-work days, number of shifts per day, and hours per shift. The schedule must demonstrate necessary interdependencies through sufficient activity detail and be accompanied by a narrative description. The Engineer will review and respond to the detailed schedule and supporting documentation within ten calendar days of receipt.

Owner may elect to withhold progress payments until an acceptable schedule is submitted and approved. If the contractor fails to submit the schedule prior to construction start, the contractor will be required to attend a scheduling meeting to prepare an acceptable schedule, with the Owner retaining the right to withhold progress payments until scheduling is completed. This scheduling requirement applies to all phases of work including milling, base repair, leveling course, manhole rim adjustments, inlet design and replacements, wearing course work, and ADA/PennDOT compliant curb ramp installation with associated sidewalks, curbing, utility adjustments, and sign work, all in accordance with PennDOT Publication 408 and Township Standards.
