Include table of abbreviations used in the schedule, listed and defined alphabetically.

Use finish to start logic relationships between activities. Do not utilize start to start, finish to finish, or start to finish logic relationships. Do not use negative lead or lag times.

Use durations in units of whole workdays.

Provide best estimate of time required to complete activity considering quantity of work, work conditions, location of work, and planned resources for activity.

Equate durations of Government reviews and other identified actions to maximum number of calendar days specified in their respective paragraphs.

Establish workday calendar(s) and use these in the schedule to translate activity's workday duration into calendar dates. Use unique calendar names; do not use software default calendar names. Save calendars as project calendars, not global calendars.

Baseline Schedule:

Represents Contractor’s as-planned approach to accomplishing the work. Do not include actual start dates, percent completes, or actual finish dates.

Updated Schedule:

Meet monthly with COR at Government’s project office, or at a location approved by the COR, to review progress made to end date of progress payment period. Establish dates that activities were started and completed and remaining duration for each activity started but not completed during the period.

Discuss and mutually agree upon changes to the schedule.

Out-of-sequence activities are not allowed. Revise logic to reflect change in work plan.

Finalize updated Construction Program database with mutually agreed upon changes.

Following receipt of executed contract modification, incorporate activity data stipulated in modification into current schedule for inclusion in next scheduled progress update. Provide appropriate logic relationships for revised activities.

Assign a unique project file name for each schedule update.

TIME IMPACT ANALYSIS

Provide time impact analysis for contract changes (e.g., change order, proposed modification, or value engineering change proposal) to support a claim or request for equitable adjustment to the contract due to delay or accelerated schedule.

The CO may use time impact analysis to determine if time extension or reduction to contract milestone dates is justified.

Time impact analysis is required for contract changes whether the Contractor’s current schedule milestone dates are the same as, earlier than, or later than, those required under the contract.

Changes, additions, or deletions to activities; activity durations; activity time frames; or activity predecessors and successors will not automatically determine that extension or reduction of contract time is warranted or due the Contractor.

Time extensions for performance will be considered only to the extent that the Contractor’s current scheduled milestone dates exceed contract milestone dates.

Float is not for exclusive use by or benefit of either the Government or the Contractor.

Perform time impact analyses using data in most recent approved schedule update prior to change or delay event.

Prepare proposed revised schedule and narrative description describing and highlighting changes or delays.

Prepare summary comparing results of two schedule analyses: One using current schedule data from last approved updated schedule prior to event requiring analysis, and one using proposed schedule data incorporating changes or delays.

Show contract milestones and activities whose periods of performance have shifted as result of change which affects production and/or manufacture schedules, material orders, construction seasons, and labor and/or equipment utilization.

For activities directly affected by change or delay, include the current and proposed items:

Activity description.

Types and quantities of major pieces of equipment, principal manpower, and pacing materials (materials that affect activity start, duration, or finish).

Activity duration.

Narrative containing rationale used in developing the proposed logic relationships and activity data.

Data date for impacted schedule used in comparison shall be the same as approved updated schedule data date.

Base schedule comparisons on status of work and available float at time the CO directs or proposes change to the work, the Contractor submits a value engineering change proposal, or when a delay occurs as shown in approved updated schedule.

REVIEW AND EVALUATION

Baseline Schedule:

Within 21 calendar days after receipt of baseline schedule:

CO will approve or not approve proposed baseline schedule.

Upon request from the CO, meet with COR for a joint review of proposed baseline schedule.

If schedule is not approved, revise, and resubmit within 7 calendar days following date of rejection letter.

Do not proceed with onsite work, except mobilization and surveying, until baseline schedule has been approved by the Government.

Updated schedules:

Submit updated Construction Program schedule monthly.

Submit updated schedule at least seven days prior to the submission of each invoice request for progress payment.

If updated schedule is not approved, revise and resubmit updated schedule within 7 calendar days following date of rejection letter.

The COR will schedule pre-submittal meeting with the Contractor’s representative each month to review draft updated schedule prior to the Contractor submitting RSN 01 32 10-3, Updated Schedule.

Failure to include elements of the work in schedules will not release Contractor from completing required work under the contract.

Performance will be evaluated by the Government using approved CPM schedules.

FAILURE TO COMPLY

Failure to comply with requirements of this Section shall be grounds for determination by the CO that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within specified time.

The CO may terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed with the work, or separable part of it, in accordance with default terms of this contract.
