PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Develop a detailed Network Plan using the most current version of preferred electronic scheduling software, 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 use 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 Design-Build Contractor;

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

3. Assist the Design-Build Contractor and GSA in the preparation and evaluation of the Design-Build

Contractor’s monthly progress payments; and

4. Assist the Design-Build Contractor 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 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 amount of total float which constitutes the longest, continuous path of interrelated activities depicting project work from notice to proceed 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 using 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 Design-Build 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 Design-Build Contractor.

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

10. 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.

11. Project Schedule - The Project Schedule includes the Preliminary Schedule (submitted with offer or as determined by the CO), the approved Baseline Schedule (developed based on the Preliminary

Schedule), and all subsequent Schedule Updates, Schedule Revisions, Recovery Schedules, and As-Built Schedule.

013120-2 11/13/15 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY.

Do not remove this notice. Properly destroy documents when no longer needed.

12. Recovery Schedule – A schedule depicting the Design-Build Contractor's plan for recovery of time lost on the project, though no fault of the Government.

13. Schedule Revision - A schedule in which the plan for the work is revised. A Schedule Revision is required when the current schedule no longer represents the actual or planned prosecution of the Work

14. Schedule Update - A schedule in which only progress is updated from the prior data date to the current data date. No revisions to logic ties will be permitted in a Schedule Update.

15. Time Impact Analysis - A technique to demonstrate the comparison of the time impact for each schedule revision or proposed revision against the current approved Project Schedule.

16. Total Float - The amount of time an activity (or chain of activities) can be delayed without affecting the Project Substantial Completion Date.

17. Working Day - A Working Day is a calendar day scheduled for active prosecution of the work.

1.3 CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULE

A. Provide a detailed, time-scaled computer generated Project Schedule with activities representing each portion of the Work for the entire Contract Performance Period. The Project Schedule shall use the Critical Path Method (CPM) for the planning, scheduling and reporting of the work to be performed under the contract. and shall be produced using the most current version of the preferred software system, or fully transferable to a project planner software (refer to SCHEDULING SOFTWARE). The type of schedule shall be Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM).

B. No unspecified milestones, Design-Build Contractor-designated Constraints, Float suppression techniques, or use of Activity durations, logic ties and/or sequences deemed unreasonable by GSA shall be used in the Project Schedule.

C. As defined by the Contract, the entire project performance period shall establish the Project Completion Date which shall be used in the planning and presentation of the Design-Build Contractor’s Project

Schedule. If the Design-Build Contractor forecasts a planned early Substantial Completion Date in the Baseline Project Schedule, the Design-Build Contractor shall be required to resource-load all schedule activities including procurement (fabrication and delivery)/ construction /close-out/commissioning activities depicted in the Baseline Project Schedule. Approval of a planned early completion date is solely at the discretion of GSA. GSA reserves the right not to approve any schedule deemed to have an unrealistic forecasted Substantial Completion Date. Government approval of an early completion Project Schedule shall not modify the Contract directed Substantial Completion Date or Project Completion

Date. The time difference between the Design-Build Contractor’s planned Substantial Completion Date and the Contract directed Substantial Completion Date shall be considered Project Float, jointly owned and for the mutual use of both the Design-Build Contractor and GSA.

D. The Design-Build Contractor shall provide the computer processing of the CPM schedule, graphics, cost and resource reports required under this Section and/or as requested by GSA both electronically and in hardcopy at no additional cost to GSA throughout the entire project performance period until Project completion is achieved.

1.4 SUBMITTALS AND MEETINGS

A. Preliminary Schedule:

1. The Request for Proposal contains a conceptual schedule for Design-Build Contractor consideration of the major milestones anticipated for completion of design, procurement, construction and installation of the project components. In response to the Request for Proposals the Design-Build Contractor shall submit a Preliminary Schedule as supporting documentation to their technical approach to the project that generally aligns with the conceptual schedule, or addresses equivalent milestones and major activities required to substantially complete the within the period of performance anticipated.

2. The Preliminary Schedule shall detail planned work/operations for the entire duration of the Project with summary level activities representing major components of work included in the Contract for the balance of the Project performance period through to the Substantial Completion Date.. The

A. If, in the opinion of the GSA, the Design-Build Contractor falls behind the planned progress as noted by negative float shown on the current monthly Schedule Update, the Design-Build Contractor shall take any and all steps necessary to improve its progress at no additional cost to the Government. This shall not be construed as prohibiting the Design-Build Contractor from increasing the number of working hours, shifts per day, working days per week, or the amount of construction equipment, or any combination of the foregoing, to eliminate the delay in the scheduled progress.

B. Failure of the Design-Build Contractor to comply with the requirements of the GSA under Paragraph 1.06.A shall be grounds for determination by the GSA that the Design-Build Contractor is not prosecuting the work with such diligence as will ensure completion within the contract time. Upon such determination, the GSA may terminate the Design-Build Contractor's right to proceed with the work, or any separable part thereof, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the GSA Form 3506.

1.6 PAYMENTS TO DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACTOR

A. The GSA shall review the Design-Build Contractor's monthly request for payment upon receipt and shall process the request for payment based upon the current approved Schedule Update.
