Upon agreement of actual percentages completed, the Contractor shall submit their updated pay application with their Monthly Progress Schedule Package.

In the event the actual percentage completeness changes as a result of the site walk, the Contractor shall make all necessary adjustments to the progress schedule to maintain consistency with the pay application.

b. Monthly Pay Application Packages: The monthly progress schedule package shall contain an updated schedule, schedule narrative, and invoice (based on the accepted pencil copy):

i. The monthly progress schedule shall reflect all design and construction activities through the last day of the calendar month and shall include actual percentage complete, actual start date, and actual finish date for each activity. At each update period, the progress schedule shall be evaluated in comparison to the approved CLBS, to determine whether the Contractor is ahead, behind, or is on schedule.

d) Changes Report detailing changes made to the schedule during the update period.

ii. The schedule narrative shall include, at a minimum, the following information:

a) Critical Path Analysis identifying the following paths and near critical activities.

b) Longest Path: Identify the current driving activity(ies), explain how and why the scheduled dates for this activity(ies) have changed since the previous update. Identify any items completed during the update period which directly affected the new driving activity(ies). Should this analysis show slippage to the project completion date, the slippage (delay) must be assigned to one of the following reasons (responsibilities); Contractor delay, Government caused delay, or Act of God. Failure to identify the cause will result in the schedule being returned unaccepted.

c) Contractor delays beyond 14 days will require a Recovery Schedule.

d) Government delays will require an excerpt from the CLBS and a narrative describing initial versus remaining float.

e) Delays due to an Act of God require an excerpt and a request for non-compensable time extension.
