02 DECEMBER 2016

Rev. 17 MAY 2017

SECTION 013110 - CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. The Contractor shall use a Critical Path Method ("CPM") Project Schedule to plan, coordinate, and perform the Work. The Project Schedule shall be produced using widely used, commercially available computer software that is capable of generating and monitoring a CPM schedule and is compatible with Meridian Proliance. ® Develop a detailed Network Plan 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 use it in planning, coordinating, and performing all the Work under this contract. Schedule activities shall accurately depict the contractor’s means and methods to complete the entire scope of work including, but not limited to, activities of subcontractors, consultants, equipment vendors and suppliers, GSA, and others, as required. The contractor is required to follow the Network Plan in the execution of the work.

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

1. Plan the project and communicate that plan.

2. Provide the status and forecast the timely completion of the work.

3. Record the actual start dates, actual finish dates and actual sequence of the work.

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

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

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

7. 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. The Government is providing the references included in this sub-section for information purposes only and is not intended to provide a comprehensive, all-inclusive list of any and all potentially relevant portions of the Contract Documents. Drawings and provisions

013110 - 2 Construction Documents of the Contract including General and Supplementary Conditions apply to this Section as if repeated herein.

1. Section 012900 – Payment Procedures

2. Section 013200 – Construction Progress Documentation

3. Section 017700 – Close Out Procedures

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, manageable and monitorable task depicting an estimated duration, an estimated cost, and estimated manpower requirements. Each activity shall be limited to one trade unless the GSA specifically approves otherwise on an exception basis.

2. Baseline Schedule - The original work plan approved by GSA as the Project Schedule depicting the contractor’s plan to prosecute the work..

3. Constraint - A scheduling restriction imposed on the start date, finish date or float of an activity. No constraints will be allowed. Exception: for projects with limited or no storage areas requiring “just in time” deliveries, a zero free float may be acceptable.

4. Critical Path - The Project critical path is defined as 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. The contractor has the right to develop a schedule that forecasts an early finish. However, all time between the forecasted early finish of substantial completion and the contractual substantial completion date shall be shown as float and shall be available to the Project team.

5. Critical Path Method (CPM) - A scheduling technique using 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. There shall be no open ended relationships in the schedule. All activities shall have at least one successor with a finish relationship (“finish to start or “finish to finish) except the last activity in the network.

6. Data Date - The date to which progress is updated. In most scheduling software, the data date represents the next day of work and all progress is updated through the day prior to the data date.

Do not remove this notice - Properly destroy documents when no longer needed

013110 - 3 Construction Documents

7. Float – The amount of time an activity can be delayed in a project network without causing delay to subsequent activities (free float) or the project completion date (total float). 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. Free Float - the amount of time that an activity can be delayed without delaying a successor activity.

9. Total Float - The amount of time an activity (or chain of activities) can be delayed without affecting the Project 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. The critical path is not dependent on float. Float is calculated after the critical (longest) path has been determined.

10. Float Suppression - the masking of available float through the use of constraints, unreasonable logical relationships or unreasonable durations. Float suppression techniques are not be allowed. On an exception basis, the use of a zero free float constraint to depict “just in time” deliveries on projects with little or no storage might be acceptable. .

11. Fragnet – A subset group of interrelated activities representing only a portion of the CPM schedule.

12. Key Plans - Key Plans are graphic representations on prints of the Contract Documents of the Contractor’s planned breakdown of the project for scheduling purposes. The key plans will clearly define the boundaries of the work for each designated area. The alphanumeric codes on the key plans shall match the code values for the activity code "Area" in the Project schedule.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Recovery Schedule – A schedule depicting the Contractor's plan for recovery of time lost on the project.

16. Retained Logic – When you choose Retained Logic, the remaining duration of a progressed activity is not scheduled until the logical relationships of all predecessors are satisfied. When you choose Progress Override, network logic is

013110 - 4 Construction Documents ignored and the activity can progress without delay

17. Schedule Revision - A schedule in which the plan for the work is revised. A

Schedule Revision is required when the current schedule no longer represents the actual or planned prosecution of the Work.

18. Schedule Update - A schedule in which only actual start dates, actual finish dates and duration percent completes are updated from the prior data date to the current data date. No revisions will be permitted in a Schedule Update.(i.e. added activities, deleted activities, logical relationships, etc.)

19. Time Impact Analysis - A technique to demonstrate a revision or proposed revision against the current approved Project Schedule.

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

1.4 CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULE

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 use the Critical Path Method (CPM) for the planning, scheduling and reporting of the work to be performed under the contract, and will be produced using the most current version of scheduling software, compatible with Meridian Proliance.

The CPM scheduling software shall be capable of generating and depicting the longest path of the schedule network. For project collaboration and project reporting of the electronic CPM database with the GSA and others, over enterprise software & servers, the project elements such as resources, calendars, and activity codes, etc. need to be defined at the “Project Level” rather than the “Global Level”.

B. No Constraints Float suppression techniques shall be used in the Project Schedule without a specific request from the contractor and a specific approval from the GSA.

CPM calculations to be based on retained logic software setting. No out-of-sequence progress is allowed in schedule revisions. Out of sequence progressed activities shall be corrected with the proper logic and progress override will not be allowed.

C. As defined by the Contract, the entire project performance period shall establish the Project Substantial Completion Date which shall be used 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, 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

013110 - 5 Construction Documents 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. All indirect costs (home office general conditions, field general conditions, etc. shall be included through the final Contract Completion date.

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 at no additional cost to GSA throughout the entire project performance period until Project completion is achieved.

C. Baseline Project Schedule: Upon approval of the Preliminary Schedule (scope and logic), the contractor shall cost load and manpower load the schedule and submit it as the proposed Baseline Schedule.

1. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer and in ePM the Baseline Project Schedule per the CPM Project Schedule in the Agreement.

2. Except for certain procurement activities (not including fabrication or delivery), each Activity representing a portion of the work shall be cost and manpower loaded, unless otherwise approved by the GSA.

a. All activities shown in the Project Schedule shall be cost-loaded. The assigned dollar value (cost-loading) shall cumulatively equal the total Contract price. Mobilization costs, bond and insurance costs, general requirements, overhead and profit, etc., shall be individual activities. Activity costs shall be stated in at least the same level of detail as, and shall correlate to the total contract price. To the extent that the Contractor anticipates requesting payments for stored materials, delivery activities shall be cost-loaded to reflect the cost of materials (excluding labor for installation) and shown separate from the related fabrication activity. Payment for stored materials is at the sole discretion of the GSA.

b. All field installation activities shown in the Project Schedule shall be manpower loaded to depict the Contractor’s planned use of labor. GSA please do NOT require resource loading of materials and equipment because the schedule will eventually become primarily a payment tool instead of a planning tool.

D. Baseline Schedule Review Process and Submittal Requirements

1. The GSA will review the Baseline Schedule and provide comments to the Contractor within one week of receipt of submittal and, if needed, will arrange for a Baseline Schedule Review Meeting with the Contractor for discussion of the schedule. The Baseline Schedule, when approved, shall become the basis for the next monthly Schedule Update and Schedule Revision submitted by the Contractor.

In the event that GSA provides comments or the Baseline Schedule does NOT meet the requirements of this specification, the contractor shall, within five (5) work days, revise the Project Schedule to bring it into compliance with these requirements, and Contractor shall make a full Baseline Schedule submission for GSA’s review and approval.

b. Upon approval of the Baseline Schedule by the GSA, the cost-loaded values shown in the Project Schedule and progress of activities will be used as a basis for determining progress payments. Monthly progress payments shall be based upon information developed using the current monthly Schedule Update. The computer generated cost report will be used by the GSA for verification of the Application for Payment submitted by the Contractor.

c. GSA's approval of the Baseline Project Schedule does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy or feasibility of the Project Schedule, or of the Contractor’s ability to meet the Substantial Completion Date. Such acceptance does not create a warranty, expressed or implied, or acknowledge or admit the reasonableness of the activities, logic, durations, manpower, cost or equipment loading of the Contractor’s Project Schedule.

2. The Baseline Schedule submission shall be comprised of the following, unless otherwise requested by GSA:

013110 - 13 Construction Documents time of the impact. The status analysis shall compare the progress of work in the current schedule (or time of the impact if required by the GSA) against the approved baseline schedule or (subsequent approved, revised baseline schedule).

d. Schedule delays determined by the status analysis shall be quantified and assigned to the responsible party prior to incorporation of the time impact analysis into the current schedule of record. (For instance, if comparison of the current monthly update to the approved baseline schedule results in showing the project is behind schedule by one month, that one month of delay shall be inserted back into the current schedule as a fragnet prior to insertion of the fragnet representing the current impact or delay.)

e. Contractor shall submit its proposed schedule revisions in Fragnet form.

Fragnets shall be accompanied by a detailed narrative explaining the reason for the revision, the anticipated effect of the revision on the Project Schedule and Substantial Completion Date, including describing the change in the affected activities’ Total Float value.

7. On Projects in which many fragnets are submitted in support of impacts to the Project, the GSA may require periodic (weekly or monthly) Fragnet Meetings. Either party can propose fragnets in the fragnet meeting. In the Fragnet Meeting, each fragnet shall be accompanied with a spreadsheet depicting the following:

a. unique Fragnet Number,

b. date of the Fragnet,

c. schedule for the Fragnet to be inserted into,

d. data date of the schedule the fragnet is to be inserted into,

e. the predecessor activity ID and activity name the fragnet is proposed to be linked to,

f. The successor activity ID and activity name the fragnet is proposed to be linked to,

g. total float for the path prior to insertion of the fragnet,

h. anticipated total float after the fragnet is inserted.

i. Anticipated impact to the forecasted substantial completion date.

8. Failure of the Contractor to timely submit a Time Impact Analysis within the time stated in Paragraph 1.05.F.4.e below, shall mean that it is mutually agreed that the particular modification, delay, or Contractor request does not require an extension of the contract time.

9. Approval or rejection of each Time Impact Analysis by the GSA shall be made within one week after receipt of each Time Impact Analysis, unless subsequent

11. The Time Impact Analysis shall meet the requirements for submittal of a Schedule Revision including a Fragnet (see Section 1.05.F.3.c) with sufficient supporting documentation to enable the GSA to make a determination on the Contractor’s request for time extension.

G. |As-Built Schedule

1. Along with the final pay application, the Contractor shall submit an As-Built Schedule documenting actual start and actual finish dates for all activities, and logic ties between all activities to show the actual sequence in which the work was performed.

1.6 RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLETION

A. If, in the opinion of the GSA, the Contractor falls behind the planned progress as noted by negative float shown on the current monthly Schedule Update, the Contractor shall take any and all steps necessary to improve its progress at no additional cost to the Government. This shall not be construed as prohibiting the Contractor from increasing the number of working hours, shifts per day, working days per week, or the amount of construction equipment, or any combination of the foregoing, to eliminate the delay in the scheduled progress.

B. Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the GSA under Paragraph 1.06.A shall be grounds for determination by the GSA that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with such diligence as will ensure completion within the contract time. Upon such determination, the GSA may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work, or any separable part thereof, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the contract.
