SECTION 01 30 00 - ELECTRONIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT - 1

SECTION 01 30 00

ELECTRONIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT (ePM) SYSTEM

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 PURPOSE

A. The Contractor shall use GSA’s web-based electronic Project Management (ePM) system, which is a fully configured version of Meridian Systems’ Proliance Construction Management Software. Click on this link for the ePM minimum requirements: https://insite.gsa.gov/portal/category/517870

1.2 DEFINITION

A. ePM is a web-based project management tool which provides GSA’s Public Buildings Service with an automated workflow, collaboration, document management and project management solution to help manage GSA design and construction projects. ePM is integrated with GSA’s gBUILD (Green Building

Upgrade Information Lifecycle Database) to share project creation and data storage information.

1.3 PROJECT COLLABORATION AND DOCUMENTATION

A. General

1. The Contractor shall effectively manage the ePM database including maintaining adequate staffing levels and ensuring that personnel attend the mandatory GSA-provided training sessions.

2. The Contractor shall use ePM to upload, store, capture, preserve, record, maintain, update, and route all project-related documentation to comply with GSA's Document Security Requirements. Classified material is not permitted to be stored in this system.

3. The Contractor shall use the workflow processes contained within ePM to submit and receive approval for all project deliverables.

4. The Contractor shall continuously monitor and review ePM to ensure the Contractor data is current through completion of the Close-out Phase of Construction.

5. The Contractor is required to store documents from their subcontractors and vendors in ePM. If a subcontractor or vendor does not obtain an ePM license, the contractor will be responsible for uploading and processing documents in ePM on their behalf.

B. Contents of ePM [Project Team to edit to their specific minimum reporting requirements.]

1. The Contractor shall use ePM as the electronic filing cabinet for all project-related correspondence and submittals. The Contract Documents specify certain documentation that the Contractor shall provide during performance of the Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, and unless specifically stated otherwise in the Contract Documents, in addition to any documentation that the Contractor submits to

GSA as set forth in the Contract Documents. The current ePM Minimum Requirements can be found at:

http://www.gsa.gov/epm.

1.4 SCHEDULING REQUIREMENTS

A. The Project Schedule shall be produced using widely used, commercially available computer software that is capable of generating and monitoring a CPM schedule and is compatible with Meridian Proliance.® https://insite.gsa.gov/portal/category/517870 http://www.gsa.gov/epm

SECTION 01 30 00 - ELECTRONIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT - 2

EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING

A. Equipment

1. GSA will not furnish any equipment related to accessing ePM. ePM is web-accessible, and can therefore be accessed via any computer with an Internet connection. For up to date ePM desktop requirements: http://www.gsa.gov/epm.
