The Contractor understands and acknowledges that the purpose of the initial review and resolution of exceptions is to maximize the usefulness of the Project Schedule for the Parties during Contract performance.

(7) Activity durations shall be based upon reasonable and realistic allocation of the resources required to complete each activity, given physical and logistical constraints on the performance of the Work. All logic shall validly reflect physical or logistical constraints on relationships between activities. Except for the first and last activities in the Project Schedule, each activity shall have at least one predecessor and one successor relationship to form a logically connected network plan from NTP to the Contract Completion date.

(11) If at any time the Contracting Officer finds that the Project Schedule does not comply with any Contract requirement, the Contractor shall, upon written notice of exceptions taken by the Contracting Officer, revise the Project Schedule, adjust activity progress, or provide sufficient information demonstrating compliance. Regardless of whether the Contracting Officer takes any such exception, the Contractor shall not be relieved of its responsibility for the rationality, reasonableness or realism of the Project Schedule, or its responsibility to achieve Substantial Completion within the time specified by this Contract.

(12) If the Contractor fails to sufficiently address the Contracting Officer's exceptions to the Project Schedule within thirty (30) calendar days of written notice of same, the Contracting Officer may withhold retainage until the Project is Substantially Complete or until such time as the Contractor has complied with Project Schedule…
