3.3.8 Standard Activity Coding Dictionary

Use the activity coding structure defined in the Standard Data Exchange Format (SDEF) in ER 1-1-11 . Contractor shall create the schedule using the following codes for each individual project. Contractor shall define each activity code as a PROJECT activity code. This exact structure is mandatory. All Activity Codes shall be developed and assigned to activities as detailed herein.

The SDEF format is as follows:

Field Activity Code

Length Description

1 WRKP 3 Workers Per Day

2 RESP 4 Responsible Party

3 AREA 4 Area of Work

4 MODF 6 Modification Number

5 BIDI 6 Bid Item (CLIN)

6 PHAS 2 Phase of Work

7 CATW 1 Category of Work

8 FOW 20 Feature of Work *

*Some systems require that FEATURE OF WORK values be placed in several activity code fields. The notation shown is for Primavera P6. Refer to the specific software guidelines with respect to the FEATURE OF WORK field requirements. Activity Code shown shall be exactly used in the software.

3.3.8.1 Workers Per Day Coding (WRKP)

Assign Workers Per Day code (WRKP) for all field construction or direct work activities, if directed by the Contracting Officer. Workers Per Day shall be the number of workers (crew size) expected each day to perform a task for the duration of that activity. This code shall be used when Contractor is required to provide a resource (manloaded) loaded schedule.

Activities may have more than one WRKP code so as to document different number of resources assigned to that activity. Using RESP or any other activity code and/or resource/expenses to provide number of resources assign to an activity is prohibited. WRKP codes shall be numeric-alpha.

Example would be Code Value 3M, 3=CREW SIZE, M=Mason. Workers Per Day codes shall be imported through the SDEF conversion of the schedule into

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 8

RMS. Manual inputting of Workers Per Day codes into RMS is prohibited.

This code shall not be used as a means of tracking modifications to the contract or any other use except for above.

3.3.8.2 Responsible Party Coding (RESP)

Assign responsibility code (RESP) for all activities to the Prime Contractor, Subcontractor(s) or Government agency(ies) responsible for performing the activity.

a. Activities coded with a Government "GOVT" Responsible Party code include, but are not limited to: Government approvals, Government design reviews, environmental permit approvals by State regulators, Government Furnished Property/Equipment (GFP) and Notice to Proceed (NTP) for phasing requirements. Government "GOVT" Responsible Party code shall not be used for any activity that has costs associated with

it. For activities that require Government approval and must have cost associated with them, the Contractor shall use "ABTG" for those activities.

b. Activities cannot have more than one Responsible Party code. Examples of acceptable Responsible Party code values for (RESP) are: DOR (for the designer of record); ELEC (for the electrical subcontractor); MECH (for the mechanical subcontractor); and GOVT (for USACE). Assign Responsible Party code for all activities. Unacceptable code values are abbreviations of the names of prime contractors or subcontractors.

RESP codes shall be alpha; numeric is not allowed for RESP codes.

Responsible Party codes shall be imported through the SDEF conversion of the schedule into RMS. Manual inputting of Responsible Party codes into RMS is prohibited.

3.3.8.3 Area of Work Coding (AREA)

Assign Area of Work code (AREA) to activities based upon the work area in which the activity occurs. Define work areas based on resource constraints or space constraints that would preclude a resource, such as a particular trade or craft work crew from working in more than one work area at a time due to restraints on…
