PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 DEFINITIONS
The cost-loaded Network Analysis Schedule (NAS) is a tool to manage the project, both for Contractor and Government activities. The NAS is also used to report progress, evaluate time extensions, and provide the basis for progress payments.
For consistency, when scheduling software terminology is used in this section, the terms in Primavera's scheduling programs are used.
1.2 SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO THE START OF WORK
1.2.1 Preliminary Scheduling Meeting
Before preparation of the Project Baseline Schedule, and prior to the start of work, meet with the Contracting Officer to discuss the proposed schedule and the requirements of this section. Propose projected data dates for monthly update schedules for the project and incorporate each monthly update submittal into submittal register. Discuss required forms, terminology, and submittal requirements of this section and other requirements related to schedule management for this contract. Use the NAVFAC-provided Preliminary Scheduling Meeting Guideline in the completion of the intended mutual understanding.
1.2.2 Project Baseline Schedule
1.2.2.1 Baseline NAS
Submit the Baseline NAS at the Post-Award Kickoff (PAK) Meeting or within 30 calendar days after contract award whichever occurs first. The Baseline schedule must include detailed design activities and a general approach to construction, including summary activities for required phasing and definable areas. Summary Construction activities must not exceed duration of 60 calendar days, unless approved otherwise by Contracting Officer. Data date must be set to contract award date and no progress recorded for any activity.
Only bonds and the required Preliminary Scheduling Meeting may be recorded as complete prior to acceptance of the Baseline NAS. The acceptance of a Baseline NAS is a condition precedent to:
a. The Contractor submitting the first design submittal.
b. Processing Contractor's invoices(s)other than that for the bonds.
1.2.2.2 Post-Award Kickoff (PAK) Meeting and Baseline NAS

1.11 CONTRACT MODIFICATION
1.11.1 Time Impact Analysis (TIA)
Submit a Time Impact Analysis with each cost and time proposal for a proposed change. TIA must illustrate the influence of each change or delay on the Contract Completion Date or milestones. No time extensions will be granted nor delay damages paid unless a delay occurs which consumes all available Project Float, impacts the longest path, and extends the Projected Completion beyond the Contract Completion Date.
a. Each TIA must be in both narrative and schedule form. The narrative must:
(1) . Define the scope and conditions of the change;
(2) . Provide start and finish dates of impact;
(3) . Successor(s) and predecessor(s) activities to impact period;
(4) . Responsible party;
(5) . Describe how the impact originated;
(6) . How it impacts the schedule's longest path.
b. The schedule submission must consist of three native XER files:
(1) Fragnet used to define the scope of the changed condition
(2) Most recent accepted schedule update as of the time of the impact start date. Update this schedule to show all activity progress as of the time of the impact start date. The impact start date is identified as the time when an existing activity is impeded for either starting or finishing.
(3) The impacted schedule that has the Fragnet inserted in the updated schedule and the schedule "run" so that the new completion date is determined.
c. For claimed as-built project delay, the inserted Fragnet TIA method
SECTION 01 32 17.00 20 Page 19
WON: 1726324
P1401 must be modified to account for as-built events known to occur after the data date of schedule update used. Updated schedules for periods following the impact start date will be used to evaluate how the project progressed (as-built) through the finish of impact. Impact to longest path must be determined for each following update period.
d. All TIAs must include any mitigation, and must determine the apportionment of the overall delay assignable to each individual delay. Apportionment must provide identification of delay type and classification of delay by compensable and non-compensable events.
The associated narrative must clearly describe analysis methodology used, and the findings in a chronological listing beginning with the earliest delay event.
(1) Identify and classify types of delay defined as follows:
(a) Force majeure delay (e.g., weather delay): Any delay event caused by something or someone other than the Government or the Contractor, or the risk of which has not been assigned solely to the Government or the Contractor. If the force majeure delay is on the longest path, in absence of other types of concurrent delays, the Contractor is granted an extension of contract time, classified as a non-compensable event.
(b) A Contractor-delay: Any delay event caused by the Contractor, or the risk of which has been assigned solely to the Contractor. If the contractor-delay is on the longest path, in absence of other types of concurrent delays, Contractor is not granted extension of contract time, and classified as a non-compensable event. Where absent other types of delays, and having impact to project completion, Contractor must provide to Contracting Officer a Corrective Action Plan identifying plan to mitigate delay.
(c) A Government-delay: Any delay event caused by the Government, or the risk of which has been assigned solely to the Government. If the Government-delay is on the longest path, in absence of other types of concurrent delays, the Contractor is granted an extension of contract time, and classified as a compensable event.
(2) Functional concurrency must be used to analyze concurrent delays, where: separate delay issues delay project completion, do not necessarily occur at same time, rather occur within same monthly schedule update period at minimum, or within same as-built period under review. If a combination of functionally concurrent delay types occurs, it is considered Concurrent Delay, which is defined in the following combinations:
(a) Government-delay concurrent with contractor-delay:
excusable time extension, classified non-compensable event.
(b) Government-delay concurrent with force majeure delay:
excusable time extension, classified non-compensable event.
(c) Contractor-delay concurrent with force majeure delay:
excusable time extension, classified non-compensable event.

P1401
(3) Pacing delay reacting to another delay (parent delay) equally or more critical than paced activity must be identified prior to pacing. Contracting Officer will notify Contractor prior to pacing. Contractor must notify Contracting Officer prior to pacing. Notification must include identification of parent delay issue, estimated parent delay time period, paced activity(s) identity, and pacing reason(s). Pacing Concurrency is defined as follows:
(a) Government-delay concurrent with contractor-pacing:
excusable time extension, classified compensable event.
(b) Contractor-delay concurrent with Government-pacing:
inexcusable time extension, classified non-compensable event
e. Submit electronic file containing the narrative and the source schedule files used in the time impact analysis.
1.12 PROJECT FLOAT
Project Float is the length of time between the Contractor's Projected Completion Milestone and the Contract Completion Date. Project Float available in the schedule will not be for the exclusive use of either the Government or the Contractor.
The use of Resource Leveling is prohibited. Techniques used for the purpose of artificially adjusting activity durations to consume float and influence longest path are prohibited.
