1.01 SUMMARY

A. Section includes: Preparation, submittal, and maintenance of computerized progress schedule and reports, Contract time adjustments, and payment requests, including the following:

1. Preliminary Schedule.

2. Baseline Schedule.

3. Monthly Schedule Updates.

4. Schedule of Submittals.

5. Commissioning and Process Start-up Schedule.

6. As-built Schedule.

B. Refer to General Conditions for additional scheduling requirements, where a conflict between the General Conditions and these specifications, the General Conditions will prevail.

1.02 SCHEDULER

A. Designate, in writing and within 5 calendar days after Notice of Award, person responsible for preparation, maintenance, updating, and revision of all schedules.

B. Qualifications of scheduler:

1. Authority to act on behalf of Contractor.

2. 5 years verifiable experience in preparation of complex construction schedules for projects of similar value, size, and complexity.

3. Knowledge of critical path method (CPM) scheduling utilizing Primavera

Project Planner or SureTrak or Microsoft Project software.

1.03 SCHEDULING FORMAT

A. Schedule format: Utilize CPM format.

B. Prepare computerized schedule utilizing Primavera P6 Professional or Microsoft Project, most current version.

1. At the request of the City or Engineer submit an electronic version of the schedule in the original format.

2. Provide submittal copies for review in hardcopy or electronic Adobe (pdf) format.

1.04 SCHEDULE PREPARATION

A. Preparation and submittal of Progress Schedule represents Contractor's intention to execute the Work within specified time and constraints. Failure to conform to requirement may result in termination for cause as specified in the General Conditions.

100% DESIGN 01324-2

B. Contractor's bid covers all costs associated with the execution of the Work in accordance with the Progress Schedule.

C. During preparation of the preliminary Progress Schedule, Engineer will facilitate Contractor's efforts by being available to answer questions regarding sequencing issues, scheduling constraints, interface points, and dependency relationships.

D. Prepare schedule utilizing Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM).

E. Prepare schedule utilizing activity durations in terms of working days. Do not exceed 15 working day duration on activities except concrete curing, submittal review, and equipment fabrication and deliveries. Where duration of continuous work exceeds 15 working days, subdivide activities by location, stationing, or other sub-element of the Work. Coordinate holidays to be observed with the Owner and incorporate them into the schedule as non-working days.

F. Failure to include an activity required for execution of the Work does not excuse Contractor from completing the Work and portions thereof within specified times and at price specified in Contract. Contract requirements are not waived by failure of Contractor to include required schedule constraints, sequences, or milestones in schedule. Contract requirements are not waived by Owner’s acceptance of the schedule. In event of conflict between accepted schedule and Contract requirements, terms of Contract govern at all times, unless requirements are waived in writing by the Owner.

G. Reference schedule to working days with beginning of Contract Time as Day "1."

H. Contract float is for the mutual benefit of both Owner and Contractor. Changes to the project that can be accomplished within this available period of float may be made by Owner without extending the Contract time, by utilizing float. Time extensions will not be granted nor delay damages owed until Work extends beyond currently accepted Contract completion date. Likewise, Contractor may utilize float to offset delays other than delays caused by Owner. Mutual use of float can continue until all available float shown by schedule has been utilized by either Owner or Contractor, or both. At that time, extensions of the Contract time will be granted by Owner for valid Owner-caused or third party-caused delays which affect the planned completion date and which have been properly documented and demonstrated by Contractor.

I. Non-sequestering of float: Pursuant to float sharing requirements of Contract, schedule submittals can be rejected for use of float suppression techniques such as preferential sequencing or logic, special lead or lag logic restraints, extended activity durations or imposed dates.

J. Interim milestone dates, operational constraints. In event there are interim milestone dates and/or operational constraints set forth in Contract, show them on schedule.

Do not use Zero Total Float constraint or Mandatory Finish Date on such Contract requirements.

K. Schedule windows for Contractor-installed equipment or materials: Immediately after Award of Contract.

Acknowledged – Filed for Record” including applicable comments.

H. Acceptance of the schedules by the Owner is for general conformance with the Contract Documents and for Owner’s planning information, and does not relieve the Contractor of sole responsibility for planning, coordinating, and executing the Work within the contract completion dates. Omissions and errors in the accepted schedules shall not excuse performance less than that required by the Contract Documents.
