PROGRESS SCHEDULE

1.01. SUMMARY

A. This Specification section covers the development and utilization of the Progress Schedule.

In the event of conflicts or discrepancies with any other provisions of the Contract Documents relating to such, this section shall govern.

1.02. DEFINITIONS

A. Terms used herein shall be in accordance with the definitions set forth in the Associated

General Contractors of America (AGC) publication, “Construction Planning & Scheduling Manual”.

1.03. BASIC REQUIREMENTS

A. Schedule and monitor all Work using Critical Path Method (CPM) techniques. Scheduling software shall be Microsoft Project.

1. Progress Schedule shall be maintained throughout entire Contract and shall be used by Design Builder to schedule, plan, organize, and execute the Work. In addition to the progress schedule:

a. Daily field reports shall be maintained to record progress. Daily field report shall be submitted to Owner no later than two (2) business days after the completed work day.

b. Design Builder shall provide the Owner with a three (3) week lookahead that is updated each Friday for the duration of the construction period.

B. Progress Schedule shall:

1. Comply with Contract Times identified in the Agreement.

2. Reflect all mandated sequencing identified in Contract Documents.

3. Provide an accurate allocation of the contract bid item costs to enable the Design

Builder and Owner to evaluate the plan to provide cash flow projections to execute the Contract requirements. Costs shall be assigned to all construction activities. The schedule will be used to establish progress percent complete for each activity for monthly pay application.

4. Include adequate time for Owner’s review of submittals. Under no circumstances will the Progress Schedule be allowed to include Owner review times shorter than those prescribed in the General Provisions and individual Specification sections. The need for resubmittals based on Owner’s review will not entitle Design Builder to Contract Time extensions and the Progress Schedule must include adequate time for resubmittals.

5. Include time required by Contract Documents based on work days lost due to inclement weather.

12571916

01310-2 PROGRESS SCHEDULE

6. Progress Schedule shall include adequate time for testing and Startup.

7. Each construction schedule activity shall have an assigned cost that accurately represents the value of the Work. The sum of the cost of all schedule activities shall be equal to the Design Builder’s Bid Price.

8. The cost-loading of each activity shall indicate the portion of the cost for that activity that is applicable to a specific bid item. The total cost for multiple activities assigned to a bid item must equal the bid item price. CPM activity detail and cost loading shall be equal to the Schedule of Values (SOV) approved by the Engineer on large Lump Sum Contracts or Bid Items.

9. Each month, the Design Builder will be paid using the Cost-loaded CPM activities for Lump Sum payment items. This requirement supersedes any requirements elsewhere in this Contract regarding partial payments of schedule-of- values for all Lump Sum items.

10. The Engineer reserves the right to use the cost-loading to resolve changes, disputes, time entitlement evaluations, increases or decreases in the scope of Work, unit price renegotiations and/or claims.

11. Cost-loading of the schedule will also be used for cash flow projection purposes.

12. Activity Cost Report and Monthly Cash Flow Projections:

a. With each monthly Pay Application/Invoice, the Design Builder shall submit an Activity Cost Report and Cash Flow Projection that includes all activities grouped by Contract Bid Item. The Activity Cost Report shall be generated from the Schedule of Record (accepted baseline schedule or previous accepted monthly update) and shall be the basis of the Monthly Cash Flow Projection. Within each contract Bid Item activities shall show:

1) Activity ID and description.

2) Cost percent complete based on agreed field estimated percent, budget cost, actual cost to date, cost this period, cost to complete.

3) Actual start and actual or forecast finish dates for each activity.

4) Actual start and finish dates for each completed activity.

C. Each activity, except Notice to Proceed, shall have at least one predecessor. Each activity, except final completion, shall have at least one successor.

D. Construction activities shall have a maximum duration of 20 work days unless a longer duration is specifically called out in the Contract Documents (e.g. 45 calendar day submittal review time). All durations shall be developed based on definitive manpower and resource planning.

E. Float is not for the exclusive benefit of the Owner or Design Builder and must be used in the best interest of the Project in order to maintain Contract Times. Design Builder will not be allowed to sequester float through such strategies as extended activity durations, extensive crew/resource sequencing, illogical sequencing, etc.

1.04. QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Utilize a qualified CPM scheduler to provide all scheduling services required for this Contract.

12571916

01310-3 PROGRESS SCHEDULE

C. CPM scheduler shall have a minimum of five years’ experience in preparing CPM schedules for projects of similar size and complexity.

D. Owner reserves the right to reject proposed CPM scheduler if, in the Owner’s opinion, the proposed CPM scheduler does not meet the qualifications specified herein. Owner will notify Design-Builder in writing of decision concerning acceptability of proposed CPM scheduler within 14 days of receipt of proposed CPM scheduler qualifications submittal. If Owner rejects proposed CPM scheduler, resubmit another proposed CPM scheduler within 7 days of receipt of Owner’s rejection notice. Such rejection by Owner does not release Design Builder from its obligations under this Contract and will not entitle Design-Builder to an adjustment of Contract Price and/or Contract Times.

1.05. SUBMITTALS

A. Submit the following in accordance with the procedures identified in the General Provisions:

1. CPM scheduler’s qualifications within ten days of Notice of Proceed including:
