The Contractor shall use the GSA Project Management Information System identified by GSA for use on the project.

1.2 DEFINITION

A. The GSA’s PMIS is a web-based project management tool which provides GSA’s Public Buildings Service with an automated workflow, collaboration, document management and project management solution to help manage GSA design and construction projects.

1.3 PROJECT COLLABORATION AND DOCUMENTATION

A. General

1. The Contractor shall effectively manage the PMIS including maintaining adequate staffing levels and ensuring that personnel attend the mandatory GSA-provided training sessions.

2. The Contractor shall use PMIS to upload, store, capture, preserve, record, maintain, update, and route all project-related documentation to comply with GSA's Document Security Requirements. Classified material is not permitted to be stored in this system.

3. The Contractor shall use the workflow processes contained within the PMIS to submit and receive approval for all project deliverables.

4. The Contractor shall continuously monitor and review the PMIS to ensure the Contractor data is current through completion of the Close-out Phase of Construction.

5. The Contractor is required to store documents from their subcontractors and vendors in the GSA Project Management System. If a subcontractor or vendor does not obtain a license for the GSA Project Management System, the contractor will be responsible for uploading and processing documents in the system on their behalf.

B. Contents of PMIS

1. The Contractor shall use PMIS as the electronic filing cabinet for all project-related correspondence and submittals. The Contract Documents specify certain documentation that the Contractor shall provide during performance of the Contract. For the avoidance of

GSA Project Management System 013000 - 2 doubt, and unless specifically stated otherwise in the Contract Documents, in addition to any documentation that the Contractor submits to GSA as set forth in the Contract Documents.

1.4 SCHEDULING REQUIREMENTS

A. The Project Schedule shall be produced using widely used, commercially available computer software that is capable of generating and monitoring a CPM schedule. Contractor provided schedules shall be uploaded/imported to PMIS on a recurring basis.

1.5 EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING

A. Equipment

1. GSA will not furnish any equipment related to accessing PMIS. PMIS is web-accessible, and can therefore be accessed via any computer with an Internet connection. For up-to-date PMIS desktop requirements: https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/design-and-construction/project-management-information-system

B. GSA Project Management System Training

C. PMIS Support

1. GSA will provide PMIS administration and end user support, for the duration of the project.

1.6 PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS

A. An HSPD-12 security clearance is required to access PMIS. Project Team members without an HSPD-12 clearance will need to work with the GSA Project Manager to initiate the clearance process, and request a temporary waiver for the PMIS access until clearance can be confirmed. A waiver means that once the individual’s HSPD-12 clearance is confirmed, a GSA Project Management System username and password will be provided. For up-to-date GSA HSPD-12 information:

www.gsa.gov/hspd12. Obtaining clearances vary in length and may take time to receive them.
