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. Ensure submit by date and approval needed by date are included and do not conflict with updated submittal register.

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. Where work or calendar days are not specified elsewhere in this specification, the term "days" shall refer to "calendar days", where the term "work days" refers to work 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.

3.2.2 Scheduled Project Completion and Activity Calendars

The schedule interval shall extend from NTP date to the required contract

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 4 completion date. The contract completion activity (End Project) shall finish based on 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 Design 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 Design" (or Design NTP) with a start date equal to the date that the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.

3.2.2.1.1 Construction Start Date

The first scheduled construction activity shall start no earlier than the date on which the Construction NTP was acknowledged. Include as the first construction activity in the project schedule an activity called "Start Construction" (or Construction NTP) with a construction start date equal to the date that the construction 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.

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
