2. A line item break-out under each major heading sufficient to track the progress of the work.

3. A line item showing contract finalization tasks which include punch list, clean-up, O&M data, and As-Built drawings. These

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 2 activities are to show no associated costs.

4. The estimated percentage weight of total contract value for each line item on the chart. This shall be consistent with the Schedule of Values.

5. Separate line items for submittal preparation and reviews.

These shall be consistent with the "Schedule of Submittals" required in Section 01 45 00.10 40 , "CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL".

Submittal preparation and reviews are to show no associated costs.

6. Separate line items for mobilization and demobilization.

d. Update the progress schedule in 3 copies every 30 calendar days throughout the contract performance period. The updated schedule shall be submitted with the monthly payment request.

3.2.1.2 Activity Durations

Reasonable activity durations are those that allow the progress of ongoing activities to be accurately determined between update periods. Less than 2 percent of all non-procurement activities shall have durations greater than 20 work days or 30 calendar days. Procurement activities are defined herein. Where work or calendar days are not specified elsewhere in this specification, "days" shall refer to "calendar days".

3.2.1.3 Procurement Activities

The schedule must include activities associated with the submittal, approval, procurement, fabrication and delivery of long lead materials, equipment, fabricated assemblies and supplies. Long lead procurement activities are those with an anticipated procurement sequence of over 90 calendar days. A typical procurement sequence includes the string of activities: submit, approve, procure, fabricate, and deliver.

3.2.1.5 Government Activities

Show Government and other agency activities that could impact progress.

These activities include, but are not limited to: approvals, inspections, utility tie-in, Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and Notice to Proceed (NTP) for phasing requirements.

3.2.2 Scheduled Project Completion and Activity Calendars

The schedule interval shall extend from NTP date to no later than the required contract completion date. The contract completion activity (End Project) shall finish no later than the required contract duration in the accepted contract proposal, as adjusted for any approved contract time extensions. The first scheduled work period shall be on or after the date indicated in the NTP letter received from the Contracting Officer.

Schedule activities on a calendar to which the activity logically belongs. Activities may be assigned to a 7-day calendar when the contract assigns calendar day durations for the activity such as a Government Acceptance activity. If the Contractor intends to perform physical work less than seven days per week, schedule the associated activities on a calendar with non-work periods identified including weekends and holidays. Note as Weather Sensitive Installation those activities that are weather sensitive. Durations must account for anticipated normal adverse weather. The Government will interpret all work periods not identified as non-work periods on each calendar as meaning the Contractor intends to perform work during those periods.

3.2.2.1 Project Start Date

The schedule shall start no earlier than the date on which the NTP was acknowledged. Include as the first activity in the project schedule an activity called "Start Project" (or NTP) with a start date equal to the date that the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.

3.2.2.2 Schedule Constraints and Open Ended Logic

Constrain completion of the last activity in the schedule by the contract completion date. Schedule calculations shall result in a negative float when the calculated early finish date of the last activity is later than the contract completion date. Include as the last activity in the project schedule an activity called "End Project" with an end date equal to the contract completion date for the project, and with a zero day duration.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 4

The schedule shall have no constrained dates other than those specified in the contract.

3.2.2.3 Early Project Completion

In the event the Initial project schedule calculates an early completion date of the last activity prior to the contract completion date, identify those activities that it intends to accelerate and/or those activities that are scheduled in parallel to support the Contractor's "early" completion. The last activity shall have a late finish constraint equal to the contract completion date and the schedule will calculate positive float. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate activities for which it is responsible to support a proposed early contract completion.

3.2.3 Milestones

The schedule must include milestone activities for each significant project event including but not limited to: milestone activities for construction; foundation/substructure construction complete;

superstructure construction complete; building dry-in or enclosure complete to allow the initiation of finish activities; permanent power complete; and building systems commissioning complete.

3.3 PROJECT SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS

Provide the submissions as described below. The data, reports, and schedules required for each submission are contained in paragraph

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

3.3.1 Initial Project Schedule Submission

Submit the Initial Project Schedule for approval within 5 calendar days after NTP. The schedule shall demonstrate a reasonable and realistic sequence of activities which represent all work through the entire contract performance period. The Initial Schedule shall be at a reasonable level of detail as determined by the Contracting Officer.

3.3.2 Periodic Schedule Updates

Based on the result of the meeting, specified in PERIODIC SCHEDULE UPDATE MEETINGS, submit periodic schedule updates. These submissions will enable the Contracting Officer to assess Contractor's progress. If the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish the information and project schedule data, which in the judgment of the Contracting Officer or authorized representative is necessary for verifying the Contractor's progress, the Contractor shall be deemed not to have provided an estimate upon which progress payment may be made.

3.3.3 Construction Schedule
