SP-2: Schedule Requirements

Contract Performance Time: 20 Working Days

Proposed Construction Notice-to-Proceed (NTP): TBD

After the award of the contract and prior to starting work, the contractor must submit to the Resident Engineer (RE) a satisfactory progress schedule which must show the proposed sequence of work, and how the contractor proposes to complete the various items of work within the number of working days set up in the contract or on or before the completion date specified in the contract. The contractor must confer with the RE at regular intervals in regard to the prosecution of the work according to the progress schedule.

A working day is defined as any calendar day, except Saturdays and Sundays. The length of a working day will be determined by the RE from the number of working hours established by actual job practice by the Contractor, except not less than eight hours will be considered in the determination. Work cannot exceed 40 hours per week without permission of the RE. Work on Saturdays will only be allowed with the permission of the RE and shall count as a working day.

The RE will determine which days constitute as working days.

A partial working day of one-half will be charged under the following conditions:

(1) When weather conditions do not permit the completion of a full day’s work.

(2) When job conditions due to recent weather do not permit full efficiency of the men or equipment.

(3) A shortage of help which is beyond the contractor’s control prevents reasonable progress.

(4) When any condition over which the contractor has no control prevents completing a full day’s production.

No working day will be charged under the following conditions:

(1) When adverse weather prevents work.

(2) When job conditions due to recent weather prevent work.

(3) When work has been suspended by an act or an omission of the FAA.

(4) When any condition over which the contractor has no control causes suspension of work.

Construction Schedule Phasing

The Runway 35 Localizer will require an outage when work is occurring in the Localizer critical area.

4. Long lead items: The contractor shall be aware that some materials that require submittals are "long lead items!" These submittals must be submitted (any time after award) for approval as soon as possible.

5. INSULATED POWER CABLES, 600 V: The following specifications in bold italics replace Specification FAA GL- 918D.

16G.3 INSULATED POWER CABLES, 600 V. Insulation–resistance measurements must be made with both ends of the insulated conductors disconnected from source and load terminals, arresters, and large surge protectors. Apply a 500-volt dc voltage to the conductors being tested with an insulation-resistance test instrument and read the insulation directly on the instrument meter scale. Apply the test voltage for at least 1 minute after the meter reading has stabilized, to allow even distribution of the test voltage throughout the insulation. Apply the test voltage between each insulated conductor and all other conductors, and between each insulated conductor and ground. Record the measured resistance. It shall be a minimum of 50 megaohms.

6. CONTROL CABLE TESTING: The following specifications in bold italics replace Specification FAA

GL- 918D.

16G.6 CONTROL CABLE TESTING. For continuity, shorts, crosses, and grounds testing, make these tests with both ends of each conductor

Memo Transmittal 5 JCN# 1005750 disconnected from terminal strip jumper wires, surge protectors, and equipment. The tests should be as follows:

a. Continuity Tests. Make continuity tests with an ohmmeter at the near end of the cable. Temporarily short each conductor to its paired conductor, common connector, or to a shield or armor, at the far end of the cable. Record the meter readings. Remove the temporary short at the far end of the cable after each conductor or conductor pair is tested for continuity.

b. Shorts, Crosses, and Grounds Tests. Make the tests with an ohmmeter connected at either end of a cable. Test between all paired or unpaired conductors within a shielded or unshielded conductor group. Test between each conductor and its nearer designated grounding conductor, pair shield, group shield, cable shield, or armor.

For insulation–resistance measurements, apply cable rated dc test voltage to the conductors being tested with an insulation-resistance test instrument, and read the insulation resistance directly on the instrument meter scale. Apply the test voltage for at least 1 minute after the meter has stabilized. Apply the test voltage between paired conductors, between conductors of a conductor group, and between conductors of an ungrouped cable. Apply the test voltage between each conductor and its designated common grounded conductor, pair-shield, group shield, and overall cable shield or armor. The resistance shall be a minimum of 50 megaohms.
