SECTION 013211 – CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Develop a detailed Network Plan utilizing the most current version of Primavera Project

Planner demonstrating complete fulfillment of all Work shown in the contract documents.

Regularly update the Network Plan in accordance with the requirements of this Section, and utilize it in planning, coordinating, and performing all the Work under this contract. Schedule activities shall accurately depict the entire scope of work to be performed to complete the project including, but not limited to, all activities of subcontractors, consultants, equipment vendors and suppliers, GSA, and others, as required.

B. The purpose of the Project Schedule shall be to:

1. Ensure adequate planning, staffing, scheduling and reporting during execution of the Work by the Contractor;

2. Ensure coordination of the Work among all affected parties;

3. Assist the Contractor and GSA in the preparation and evaluation of the Contractor’s monthly progress payments; and

4. Assist the Contractor and GSA in monitoring the progress of the work, and evaluating proposed changes to the Contract and/or requests for additional time to Project

Completion.

1.2 RELATED SECTIONS

A. This specification supplements GSA Form 3506 schedule clauses.

B. Drawings and provisions of the Contract including General and Supplementary Conditions apply to this Section as if repeated herein.

C. Section 013200 – Construction Progress Documentation.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. Definitions applicable to this Section include the following:

1. Activity - An element of the Work or task performed during the course of the project.

Each schedule activity shall be a clearly defined and manageable task depicting an expected duration, an expected cost, and expected resource requirements.

2. Baseline Schedule - The original work plan approved by GSA as the Project Schedule.

3. Constraint - A scheduling restriction imposed on the start or finish of an activity. Only contractual/owner-designated constraints are allowed.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Do not remove this notice. Properly destroy or return documents when no longer needed.

4. Critical Path - The Project primary critical path is defined as the path with the least amount of total float which constitutes the longest, continuous path of interrelated activities depicting project work from notice of award (or NTP) to project completion.

All reports and graphics indicating the Critical Path shall depict the longest path of interrelated activities. Unless otherwise approved by GSA, the Baseline Schedule Critical

Path shall use all allotted Contract time.

5. Critical Path Method (CPM) - A scheduling technique utilizing activities, durations, and interrelationships/dependencies (logic), such that all activities are interrelated with logic ties from the beginning of the project to the completion of the project.

6. Data Date - The data date of each schedule update shall be the first calendar day of each month and represent all work performed through the last calendar day of the preceding month.

7. Float – is the difference between the planned early dates and the planned late dates; the amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting the Substantial Completion

Date. Float is considered a project commodity jointly shared between GSA and the

Contractor and shall be used in the best interest of completing the Project on time.

8. Float Suppression - utilization of zero free float constraints which allows an activity to start as late as possible by using all its' available free float. This technique allows activities to appear more critical than if the activity's total float was based on early dates.

Assigning zero free float prevents true sharing of total float between GSA and the

Contractor.

9. Fragnet - A subset group of interrelated activities representing only a portion of the CPM schedule.

10. Network Plan - The Network Plan is the entire database of activities, logic, durations, and all items relating to any activity input into the scheduling software and is the complete representation of the Project Schedule prepared using the Critical Path Method and graphically shown in a time-scaled form. The network shows the sequence and interdependence of the activities, and planned and actual progress by activity, required for complete performance of the Work.

11. Project Schedule - The Project Schedule includes the Preliminary Schedule (submitted at bid or as determined by the CO), the approved Baseline Schedule (developed based on the Preliminary Schedule), and all subsequent Schedule Updates, Schedule Revisions, Recovery Schedules, and As-Built Schedule.

12. Recovery Schedule – A schedule depicting the Contractor's plan for recovery of time lost on the project, though no fault of the Government.

13. Schedule Update - A schedule in which only progress is updated from the prior data date to the current data date. No revisions to logic ties will be permitted in a Schedule

Update.

14. Time Impact Analysis - A technique to demonstrate the comparison of the time impact for each schedule revision or proposed revision against the current approved Project

Schedule.

15. Total Float - The amount of time an activity (or chain of activities) can be delayed without affecting the Project Substantial Completion Date.

16. Working Day - A Working Day is a calendar day scheduled for active prosecution of the work.

1.4 CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING

A. Provide a detailed, time-scaled computer generated Project Schedule with activities representing each portion of the Work for the entire Contract Performance Period. The Project Schedule shall utilize the Critical Path Method (CPM) for the planning, scheduling and reporting of the work to be performed under the contract, and will be produced utilizing the most current version of the

Primavera Project Planner or SureTrak software system, or fully transferable to Primavera Project Planner or SureTrak (refer to SCHEDULING SOFTWARE). The type of schedule shall be Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM).

B. No unspecified milestones, contractor-designated Constraints, Float suppression techniques, or use of Activity durations, logic ties and/or sequences deemed unreasonable by GSA shall be used in the Project Schedule.

C. As defined by the Contract, the entire project performance period shall establish the Project Completion Date which shall be utilized in the planning and presentation of the Contractor’s

Project Schedule. If the Contractor forecasts a planned early Substantial Completion Date in the

Baseline Project Schedule, the Contractor shall be required to resource-load all schedule activities including procurement (fabrication and delivery) construction /close-out/commissioning activities depicted in the Baseline Project Schedule. Approval of a planned early completion date is solely at the discretion of GSA. GSA reserves the right not to approve any schedule deemed to have an unrealistic forecasted Substantial Completion Date.

Government approval of an early completion Project Schedule shall not modify the Contract directed Substantial Completion Date or Project Completion Date. The time difference between the Contractor’s planned Substantial Completion Date and the Contract directed Substantial Completion Date shall be considered Project Float, jointly owned and for the mutual use of both the Contractor and GSA.

D. The Contractor shall provide the computer processing of the CPM schedule, graphics, cost and resource reports required under this Section and/or as requested by the GSA/CM at no additional cost to GSA throughout the entire project performance period until Project completion is achieved.

1.5 SUBMITTALS/MEETINGS

A. Project Schedule Requirements Meeting:

1. The Contractor shall meet with the GSA/CM within (5) work days after Notice to

Proceed to conduct a joint review of the Project Schedule requirements in this Section.

B. Preliminary Schedule:

1. Within (10) work days of Notice to Proceed, Contractor shall submit a Preliminary

Schedule detailing planned work/operations for the first (30) calendar days of the Project with sufficient detail to allow progress payments to be made from the Preliminary Schedule while the Baseline Schedule is being developed and approved, and summary level activities representing major components of work included in the Contract for the balance of the Project performance period through to the Substantial Completion Date.
