CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING – For Projects with durations longer than 9 months FY15 Update Oct. 1, 2014 013110 - 1

SECTION 013110 - CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING

1.01 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 ® [Consider Asta Powerproject and check with Meridian Compatibility ]. 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.

CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING – For Projects with durations longer than 9 months FY15 Update Oct. 1, 2014 013110 - 2

1.03 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.

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…
