Project Scheduling Services and Support

Contract: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Task Order # TBD

1.0 Overview

This is a non-personal services task order to provide Project Scheduling Services and Support.

The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the task order service providers performing the services herein. Such service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government as defined in this Statement of Work (SOW). The Contractor shall perform to the standards herein.

1.1 Background

Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) is currently using P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (21.12.10) software (P6) for program management, project management, multi-project resource and activity scheduling, earned value and workload analysis. CFLHD’s portfolio includes approximately 350 active projects (these projects include highway, non-highway, stewardship & oversight, and overhead projects), with between 3 and 95 activities each. Approximately 175 of these projects require monthly involvement from the P6 schedulers, and approximately 125 require active schedule support and troubleshooting on a bi- weekly basis.

Most of CFLHD’s employees (approximately 200) use P6 at some level. The table below shows major user groups, the approximate number of each group, the typical P6 Web Rights, and the typical interaction with the P6 Schedulers. All project chargeable employees use P6 Team Member (Timesheets) for timekeeping purposes.

There are two primary phases of project delivery; in which most of the in-progress activities occur:

Project Development – There are approximately 100 – 150 active projects in various stages of project development at any one time. Project Development includes all projects associated with design and/or construction contract development, from the project charter through the contract award phases of development. These projects typically contain approximately 95 activities, with no more than 15 activities being active at any given time.

Construction – There are approximately 30-60 active construction projects at any one time.

This number does not include those projects that are in the process of being closed out or in claims. There are approximately 10-15 activities associated with the various stages of construction. Out of the activities, on average there are approximately 4-5 that are typically active at any one time.

CFLHD also uses Microsoft Windows operating system, Microsoft Office applications, and Oracle.

CFLHD also operates and runs an in-house developed funds management software (FundsMap) that utilizes data from P6 in conjunction with financial and other project information. This program requires links to P6 databases and tables. The contractor shall work with FundsMap staff to ensure P6 information is shared with FundsMap.

• Work collaboratively with FMs to ensure appropriate resource hours to monitor and maintain the health of projects while ensuring schedule and cost information is accurate and up to date in the most efficient way possible.

• Attend monthly one-on-one status meetings with each PM to retrieve data for updates for each project. One-on-one meetings with PM’s are approximately 30-45 minutes in duration. Meetings with those who are acting as PMs for non-traditional projects (planning studies, technical studies, overhead initiatives, etc.) will also be required, on an as needed basis.

• Provide guidance to staff on what they should be looking at and note things that appear inaccurate or raise red flags, so they can be addressed by the appropriate staff.

• Collect resource updates from all FM’s monthly through report mark-ups.

• Attend quarterly one-on-one update meetings with FM’s.

• Refine activities, work steps, logic, and schedules, as updates are received.

• Attend appropriate Cross Functional Team (CFT) meetings to collect schedule change and performance information.

Similar meetings will be held with COEs; however, this exchange may occur at the monthly construction staffing meeting. Additional follow-up with individual COEs may be required, as needed.

Maintain and update P6 data. Update the project schedule and resource database on a bi-weekly basis by independently following procedures, and incorporating updates and revisions provided to keep all P6 system data current, accurate, and meaningful.
