CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

SECTION 01 32 16

A. This Section consists of Construction Schedule requirements including but not limited to the following:

1. Schedule of Values

2. Construction Schedule Requirements.

3. Construction Schedule Updates

B. Purpose: The purpose of the Construction Schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during the execution of the work by the Contractor.

The Construction Schedule will assist the Contractor and Contracting Officer in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the Contractor's monthly progress payment.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.

B. Cost Loading: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer.

C. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of the Project.

D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall project duration and contains no float.

E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the

Contractor but is jointly owned.

CAHA – 248511 01 32 16 - 2

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.

F. Resource Loading: The allocation of manpower and equipment necessary for the completion of the activity as scheduled.

G. Fragnet: A partial or fragmentary network that breaks down activities into smaller activities for greater detail.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Electronic Copies: All schedules and reports submitted shall be in PDF file format and sent via email to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative.

B. Schedule of Values: After the contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference submit a schedule of dollar values based on the Contract Price Schedule including Significant

Milestones and Phases of Work.

C. Construction Baseline Schedule: After the contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference, submit a baseline schedule, large enough to show the entire schedule for the entire construction period.

D. Construction Schedule Updates: On or before the 7th day of the progress payment request date, submit estimates of the percent completion of each scheduled activity, and necessary supporting data. Provide electronic copies.

E. Construction Schedule Revisions: For each Construction Schedule revision, submit electronic copies. Show significant milestones and phases of work before the contract end date.

1.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Contractor's Schedule Representative: Before or at the preconstruction conference, designate an authorized representative to be responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the

Construction Schedule. The authorized representative will be responsible for preparing the

Baseline Schedule, all required updates, revisions, and preparation of reports.

1.5 COORDINATION

A. Coordinate the preparation and processing of schedules and reports with the performance of construction activities and with scheduling and reporting of separate Contractors.

B. Coordinate Construction Baseline Schedule with the Schedule of Values, subcontracts, and

Submittals Schedule.

1. In developing the Construction Baseline Schedule, ensure that the Subcontractor’s work at all tiers, as well as the prime Contractor’s work, is included and coordinated.

CAHA – 248511 01 32 16 - 3

A. Break down each lump-sum item into component work activities used in the schedule, for which progress payments may be requested. The work activities broken out within the schedule of values shall be integrated into and made a logical part of the construction baseline schedule submitted under this specification. The total costs for the component work activities shall equal the contract price for that lump-sum item. The Contracting Officer may request data to verify the accuracy of dollar values. Include mobilization, general condition costs, overhead, and profit in the total dollar value of unit price items and the component work activities for each lump-sum item. Do not include mobilization, general condition costs, overhead, or profit as separate items.

B. Do not break down unit price items. Use only the contract price for unit-price items.

C. The total cost of all items shall equal the contract price. The Schedule of Values will form the basis for progress payments.

D. An acceptable Schedule of Values shall be agreed upon by the Contractor and Contracting

Officer before the first progress payment is processed.

2.2 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS

A. Construction Baseline Schedule: Prepare the Construction Baseline Schedule using a computer software system.

1. Failure to include any work item required for the performance of this Contract shall not excuse the Contractor from completing all work within applicable completion dates, regardless of government acceptance of the schedule.

B. Project Calendar: Develop and incorporate the following calendars:

C. Processing Time: Allow enough time for submittal review, including time for re-submittals, as follows. Time for review shall commence on the Contracting Officer’s receipt of the submittal.

No extension of the Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals enough in advance of the Work to permit processing, including re-submittals.

1. Action Submittals

a. Initial Review: Allow 30 days for the initial review of each submittal. Allow additional time if coordination with subsequent submittals is required.
