SECTION 01 31 10

CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Develop a detailed Network Plan utilizing the most current version of Primavera Project Planner demonstrating complete fulfillment of all Work shown in the contract documents. Regularly update the Network Plan in accordance with the requirements of this Section, and utilize it in planning, coordinating, and performing all the Work under this Contract. Schedule activities shall accurately depict the entire scope of work to be performed to complete the project including, but not limited to, all activities of subcontractors, consultants, equipment vendors and suppliers, GSA, and others, as required.

B. The purpose of the Project Schedule shall be to:

1. Ensure adequate planning, staffing, scheduling and reporting during execution of the Work by the Contractor;

2. Ensure coordination of the Work among all affected parties;

3. Assist the AE and GSA in the preparation and evaluation of the Contractor monthly progress payments; and

4. Assist the AE and GSA in monitoring the progress of the work, and evaluating proposed changes to the Contract and/or requests for additional time to Project Completion.

1.2 RELATED SECTIONS

A. This specification supplements GSA Form 3506 schedule clauses.

B. Drawings and provisions of the Contract including General and Supplementary

Conditions apply to this Section as if repeated herein.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. Definitions applicable to this Section include the following:

1. Activity - An element of the Work or task performed during the course of the project.

Each schedule activity shall be a clearly defined and manageable task depicting an expected duration, an expected cost, and expected resource requirements.

2. Baseline Schedule - The original work plan approved by GSA as the Project Schedule.

3. Constraint - A scheduling restriction imposed on the start or finish of an activity.

Only contractual/owner-designated constraints are allowed.

4. Critical Path - The Project primary critical path is defined as the path with the least

CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING 01 31 10-2

amount of total float which constitutes the longest, continuous path of interrelated activities depicting project work from notice of award (or NTP) to project completion.

All reports and graphics indicating the Critical Path shall depict the longest path of interrelated activities. Unless otherwise approved by GSA, the Baseline Schedule Critical Path shall use all allotted Contract time.

5. Critical Path Method (CPM) - A scheduling technique utilizing activities, durations, and interrelationships/dependencies (logic), such that all activities are interrelated with logic ties from the beginning of the project to the completion of the project.

6. Data Date - The data date of each schedule update shall be the first calendar day of each month and represent all work performed through the last calendar day of the preceding month.

7. Float – is the difference between the planned early dates and the planned late dates; the amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting the Substantial Completion Date. Float is considered a project commodity jointly shared between GSA and the Contractor and shall be used in the best interest of completing the Project on time.

8. Float Suppression - utilization of zero free float constraints which allows an activity to start as late as possible by using all its' available free float. This technique allows activities to appear more critical than if the activity's total float was based on early dates. Assigning zero free float prevents true sharing of total float between GSA and the Contractor.

9. Fragnet - A subset group of interrelated activities representing only a portion of the CPM schedule.

10. Key Plans - Key Plans are graphic representations on prints of the Contract Documents of the Contractor’s planned breakdown of the project for scheduling purposes. The key plans will clearly define the boundaries of the work for each designated area. The alphanumeric codes on the key plans shall match the code values for the activity code "Area" in the Project schedule.

11. Network Plan - The Network Plan is the entire database of activities, logic, durations, and all items relating to any activity input into the scheduling software and is the complete representation of the Project Schedule prepared using the Critical Path Method and graphically shown in a time-scaled form. The network shows the sequence and interdependence of the activities, and planned and actual progress by activity, required for complete performance of the Work.
