The remaining work must be performed by appropriately licensed entities. It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to review the requirements of this project and determine the appropriate licenses that are required to complete the project.

10.20 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
The Contractor shall submit within ten (10) calendar days after award of contract, the following schedules:
10-11
A. Detailed Construction Schedule:
1. The detailed construction schedule shall be based on a detailed critical path analysis of construction activities and sequence of operations noted for the orderly performance and completion of any separable parts of any work and all work in accordance with the Contract. The schedule shall be Critical Path Method (CPM) in the form of an arrow diagram and activity listing. The network diagram shall show in detail and in orderly sequence all activities on a time scale, their descriptions, durations and dependencies, necessary and required to complete all work and any separable parts thereof. The schedule shall show in detail the following information for each activity.
a) Identification by code numbers and description;
b) Duration;
c) Craft and Equipment;
d) Earliest start and finish dates;
e) Latest start and finish dates;
f) Total and free float time; and
g) Highlighted Critical Path
2. The schedule shall be complete in all respects, covering in addition to activities at the site of work, off-site activities such as design, fabrication, and procurement of equipment; the scheduled delivery dates of such equipment;
submittal and acceptance of shop drawings and samples; ordering and delivery of materials; inspections; and testing. The schedule shall also include a manpower forecast by crafts. The detailed construction schedule shall be supplemented by a three-week schedule prepared by the Contractor and submitted to the Engineer on a weekly basis. The Contractor shall promptly inform the Engineer with a revised schedule and cash flow diagram within ten (10) calendar days after acceptance of such change.
3. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Engineer regarding phasing of any of the work, and to ensure that such phasing will not affect the operations of the harbor, the electrical system, water system, or any other aspect of the harbor operations. The schedule shall reflect all phasing. The Contractor shall provide temporary lighting as required.\
4. The schedule shall be kept up to date, considering the actual progress of work and shall be updated at a minimum every thirty (30) calendar days, or if any significant changes are made. The updated schedule shall, as determined by the Engineer, be sufficient to meet the requirements for the completion of the separable parts of work and the entire projects as set forth in the contract.
5. If at any time during the progress of the Work, the Contractor’s actual progress appears to the Engineer to be inadequate to meet the requirements of the contract, the Engineer will notify the Contractor of such imminent or actual noncompliance of the contract. The Contractor shall thereupon take such steps as may be necessary to improve their progress and the Engineer may require an increase in the labor force, the number of shifts, and/or overtime operations, days of work and/or the amount of construction plants all
10-12 without additional costs to the State. Neither such notice by the Engineer nor the Engineer’s failure to issue such notice shall relieve the Contractor from their obligation to achieve the quality of work and rate of progress required by the contract. Failure of the Contractor to comply with instructions of the Engineer under these provisions may be grounds for determination by the State that the Contractor is not prosecuting work with such diligence as will assure completion within the times specified. Upon such determination, the State may employ labor and equipment and charge the Contractor for the cost thereof, including depreciation for plant and equipment or may terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed with the performance of the contract, or any separable part thereof, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the contract.
6. The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer one (1) electronic file (pdf) of the detailed construction schedule and of each revised schedule submitted thereafter.
B. Schedule of Cost Loading and Cash Flow Projection:
1. Along with the Project Schedule submittal, and each Monthly Updated Project
Schedule and subsequent revisions, the Contractor must also submit a Schedule of Cost Loading and Cash Flow Projection which shall show the following:
a) The amount(s) billed for each of the previous months, the amount(s) being billed in the current month, and the anticipated amount(s) to be billed for each item during each of the remaining months for the duration of the project, for each of the individual bid items as well as the total amount of work.
b) Running total amount of work completed for each of the previous months, the running total amount of work completed as of the current month, and running total amounts expected to be accomplished at each of the remaining months of the project.
c) Retainage amount withheld for each of the previous months, for the current amount, and amount anticipated to be withheld for each of the remaining months of the project.
d) The net payment requests, accounting for amounts paid to date, retainage and monies withheld if any, for the previous months, the current month, and expected net payment requests for each of the remaining months of the project.
2. The Schedule shall be shown in tabular format and in graphic format.
3. There must be a strict correlation between the Detailed Construction
Schedule and the Schedule of Cost Loading and Cash Flow Projection. The timeline(s) when individual bid items are being shown as billed against, and billed for the full amount, on the Schedule of Cost Loading and Cash Flow Projection must be match the dates when activities associated with these bid
10-13 items are shown to occur, and be completed, on the Detailed Construction Schedule.
4. The Engineer may, at their sole discretion, request the Contractor to explain in detail the procedure used to develop the Schedule. The procedure is subject to the review and acceptance of the Engineer. Receipt and acceptance of the Schedule and Summary methodology is a condition precedent to the making of any payments under the Contract. Therefore, failure to submit an acceptable methodology for the Schedule, as well as a Schedule based on a methodology accepted by the Engineer, shall be cause for withholding any progress payments due under this Contract.
5. The Contractor must submit an updated Schedule of Cost Loading and Cash
Flow, with each payment request, as a prerequisite for payment on any monthly invoice.
6. When an activity is deemed substantially complete by the Engineer, then such activity will no longer be treated as an activity affecting the critical path or successor activities on the Project. The cost of correction of any punch-list items associated with substantially completed activities will be covered by withheld retention or other amounts deemed by the Engineer to be adequate to cover such costs.
C. Schedule of Values
1. Format and Content: Use the Project Proposal Schedule as a guide to establish the format for the Schedule of Values. Provide at least one line for each Specification Section. Provide a breakdown of the contract sum in sufficient detail to facilitate continued evaluation of Applications for Payment and progress reports.
