Should the progress fall behind the approved project schedule for reasons other than those that are excusable within the terms of the contract, the KO may require provision of a written recovery plan for approval. The plan must detail how progress will be made-up to include which activities will be accelerated by adding additional crews, longer work hours, extra work days, etc.

3.4.1 Failure to Perform

Failure to perform work and maintain progress in accordance with the supplemental recovery plan may result in an interim and final unsatisfactory performance rating and may result in corrective action directed by the KO pursuant to FAR 52.236-15 Schedules for Construction Contracts, FAR 52.249-10 Default (Fixed-Price Construction), and other contract provisions.

3.5 MODIFICATIONS

When a modification is issued by the Government, record the modification as the last activity of the Construction Schedule and Schedule of Values and include the value of the modification. Adjust the Schedule of Values to reflect the inclusion of the modification. Revise the Construction Schedule portion of the form to annotate the progress change.
