About this file

This is a Unified Facilities Guide Specification (UFGS) Section 01 32 17.00 20 for Cost-Loaded Network Analysis Schedules (NAS) applicable to Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build federal construction projects using Oracle Primavera P6 software.

The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for developing, maintaining, and submitting project schedules throughout the contract lifecycle. Contractors must submit a Baseline NAS within 30 calendar days of contract award, with acceptance serving as a prerequisite for demolition work, construction phases, and processing invoices beyond bonds. For Design-Build projects, a Construction Baseline NAS must be submitted prior to the pre-final design submittal. Weekly Look Ahead Schedules are required starting 30 days after award and continuing weekly through completion, with Three-Week or Four-Week lookahead periods showing day-to-day work plans. Monthly NAS updates must be submitted within 5 calendar days of the data date, accompanied by required reports and documentation. The specification mandates specific P6 software settings, activity categorization (design, pre-construction, procurement, government, quality management, construction, turnover/closeout, and testing activities), work breakdown structure organization, and activity coding using responsibility codes, activity category codes, and optional drawing or CSI codes. Cost-loaded activities must reflect current contract value without front-end loading, with commissioning, testing, and closeout values comprising at least 10 percent of procurement and construction costs. Required submittals include Time Scaled Logic NAS, comparison reports showing variance from previous updates, native XER files, earned value reports, Schedule Variance Control diagrams, logic diagrams, and detailed narrative reports documenting project progress, longest path analysis, delays, and weather impacts. A Designated Project Scheduler with prior experience managing at least three NAS projects must be approved within 30 days of award. Time Impact Analysis submissions for contract modifications must include narrative documentation and three native XER files demonstrating scope, baseline condition, and impacted schedule with delay classifications and mitigation strategies.

and Section 23 09 00 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL FOR HVAC are included in the contract specifications.

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 Oracle Primavera's scheduling programs are used.

1.2 NAS REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO THE START OF WORK

1.2.1 Preliminary Scheduling Meeting

Before preparation of the Baseline NAS, and prior to the start of work, meet with the Contracting Officer to discuss the proposed NAS and the requirements of this section. Propose projected data dates for monthly update NAS for the project and incorporate each monthly update submittal into the 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 Baseline NAS

NOTE: This paragraph is tailored for

DESIGN-BID-BUILD.

In the first sentence, select the default of "30" calendar days as the standard. If warranted, the amount of calendar days for projects requiring more time may be tailored based on project size and technical complexity.

Submit the Baseline NAS within 30 calendar days after contract award.

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 starting demolition work or construction stage(s) of the contract.

b. Processing Contractor's invoices(s) for any items other than bonds.

c. Review of any NAS updates. The contractor is still required to submit monthly NAS updates. Without an accepted baseline NAS, the Government may return Monthly NAS update as received for record.

SECTION 01 32 17.00 20 Page 4

Submittal of the Baseline NAS is the Contractor's certification that the submitted NAS meets the requirements of the Contract Documents and represents the Contractor's plan on how the work will be accomplished.

Provide all items listed in paragraph REQUIRED TABULAR REPORTS AND NATIVE P6 XER FILES with baseline NAS submittal.

1.2.3 Baseline NAS

NOTE: This paragraph is tailored for DESIGN-BUILD.

1.2.3.1 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 NAS 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.

1.2.3.2 Post-Award Kickoff (PAK) Meeting and Baseline NAS

Present the Baseline NAS at the PAK Meeting. Be prepared to discuss the NAS logic emphasizing how the NAS satisfies the design package requirements and incorporates the required government review periods for each design submittal.

1.2.3.3 Construction Baseline NAS

Submit the detailed Construction Baseline NAS prior to the pre-final design submittal. The pre-final design submittal will not be reviewed until a Construction Baseline NAS is submitted.

The acceptance of the Construction Baseline NAS is a condition precedent to:

a. The contractor starting demolition work or construction stage(s) of the contract.

b. Processing Contractor's invoices for demolition or construction activities.

c. Review of any construction phase NAS updates.

Submittal of the Construction Baseline NAS must be the Contractor's certification that the submitted NAS meets the requirements of the Contract Documents, and represents the Contractor's plan on how the work will be accomplished. Provide all items listed in paragraph REQUIRED

b. Regardless of whether an invoice is being submitted monthly, or no project progress occurred, an updated NAS (or with new data date) must be submitted monthly to the Government. The Monthly NAS update must be submitted within 5 calendar days of the data date.

c. Regardless of whether a baseline or other NAS is submitted [and][or]

SECTION 01 32 17.00 20 Page 7 accepted, an updated NAS must be submitted monthly to the Government.

Monthly updates submitted before the baseline being accepted may be returned as received for record.

d. Provide all items listed in paragraph REQUIRED TABULAR REPORTS AND NATIVE P6 XER FILES, with each monthly NAS update submittal.

e. Activity progress must incorporate as-built events as they occurred and correspond to records including but not limited to submittals and daily production and quality control reports.

f. Software Settings: Handle NAS calculations through Retained Logic, not Progress Override. Out of Sequence progress is not allowed.

Relationships must be changed to reflect as-built relationships. Show all activity durations and float values in days. Show activity progress using Remaining Duration. Set default activity type to "Task Dependent".

g. Updated NAS must reflect current Contract Completion Date and contract value in accordance with all conformed contract modifications issued prior to data date of NAS update.

1.4.3 As-Built NAS

As a condition precedent to the release of retention and making final payment, submit an "As-Built NAS," as the last NAS update showing all activities at 100 percent completion. This NAS must reflect the exact manner in which the project was actually constructed.

1.5 CORRESPONDENCE AND TEST REPORTS

Reference NAS Activity IDs that are being addressed in each correspondence (e.g., letters, Submittals, Requests for Information (RFIs), e-mails, meeting minute items, Production and QC Daily Reports, material delivery tickets, photographs) and test report (e.g., concrete, soil compaction, weld, pressure).

1.6 ADDITIONAL NETWORK ANALYSIS SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS

Other specification sections may include additional NAS related requirements, including systems to be inspected, tested and commissioned, and submittal procedures. Those requirements must be incorporated into the NAS.

1.7 SUBMITTALS

NOTE: Review Submittal Description (SD) definitions in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and edit the following list, and corresponding submittal items in the text, to reflect only the submittals required for the project. The Guide Specification technical editors have classified those items that require Government approval, due to their complexity or criticality, with a "G." Generally, other submittal items can be reviewed by the Contractor's Quality Control System. Only add a "G" to an item if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.

SECTION 01 32 17.00 20 Page 8

For Army projects, fill in the empty brackets following the "G" classification, with a code of up to three characters to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy and Air Force projects.

The "S" classification indicates submittals required as proof of compliance for sustainability Guiding Principles Validation or Third Party Certification and as described in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL

PROCEDURES.

NOTE: For Design-Build projects, delete Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and replace with UFGS 01 33 00.05 20 CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and

UFGS 01 33 10.05 20 DESIGN SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES.

Government approval/acceptance is required for submittals with a "G" or "S" classification. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for Contractor Quality Control approval. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for information only. When used, a code following the "G" classification identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

Baseline NAS ; G, [_____]

Construction Baseline NAS ; G, [_____]

Designated Project Scheduler ; G, [_____]

SD-07 Certificates

Weekly Look Ahead Schedule

Monthly NAS Updates ; G, [_____]

SD-11 Closeout Submittals

As-Built NAS ; G, [_____]

1.8 SOFTWARE

Prepare and maintain project NAS using Oracle Primavera P6 software in a version compatible with Government's current version. Submit XER files exported as version 17 or earlier. Importing data into P6 using data conversion techniques or third party software is cause for rejection of

SECTION 01 32 17.00 20 Page 9 the submitted NAS. NAS with Performing Organizational Breakdown Structure (POBS) data in any form other than column is cause for rejection. NAS must be scheduled by using the Schedule command after last entry in Oracle Primavera P6 prior to export for submission to the Government.

1.9 DESIGNATED PROJECT SCHEDULER

Within 30 calendar days of contract award, submit to the Contracting Officer for approval an individual who will serve as the Designated Project Scheduler. Include a copy of the candidate's resume with qualifications. The Designated Project Scheduler is subject to removal by the Contracting Officer for non-compliance with the requirements specified in the Contract. Payment request will not be processed without an approved Designated Project Scheduler.

] Assign the Weather Calendar to any activity that could be impacted by adverse weather. The Contracting Officer will issue a modification in accordance with the contract clauses, giving the Contractor a time only extension for the difference of days between the anticipated and actual adverse weather delay if the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated for the month in which the delay occurs and the adverse weather delayed activities are on the longest path to contract completion in the period when delay occurred. A lost workday due to weather conditions is defined as a day in which the Contractor cannot work at least 50 percent of the day on the impacted activity.

Impacts resulting from adverse weather must be documented in Narrative Report for the month that it occurred.

Make changes to P6 project calendars to reflect as-built conditions where work occurred where originally anticipated as non-work days, and where work did not occur (lost work day).

[ 1.10.1.9 Anticipated Restricted Delays

NOTE: Use this paragraph if base access restrictions are anticipated during the project timeframe; otherwise, delete. Revise number of days and period of time as appropriate for project specific requirements. Verify with FEAD/ROICC/OICC before this is incorporated to ensure this is applicable to project site.

b. Assign costs for materials which payment will be requested in advance of installation, including their quantities, to their respective procurement activities that were approved by the Contracting Officer.

Assign labor costs, including their quantities, for material and equipment paid for after installation to their respective construction activities.

c. Costs for mobilization will not be paid as individual pay items with the exception of batch plant set-up, mobilization of dredging equipment or other similar labor-intensive situations. If payment for mobilization costs are approved, assign costs for demobilization activities. The value of demobilization activities must not be less than 40 percent of the total costs for mobilization activities. If not approved as a separate line item, evenly disperse over construction activities the costs for mobilization [and][or] demobilization.

d. The value of commissioning, testing, and closeout WBS section may not be less than [10][_____] percent of the total costs for procurement and construction activities.

e. ALL activities assigned Government responsibility will have Zero Cost. No contractor cost should be assigned to an activity designated as a Government responsibility.

f. Do not include field overhead positions as individual cost loaded activities. Evenly disperse non-construction costs (e.g., meetings, SECTION 01 32 17.00 20 Page 22 presentations, submittals, surveys, haul road or storage yard maintenance, dust control, security) and profit to construction activities assigned to the Construction Phase WBS level.

g. If assigning resources to activities, setting for Calculate costs from units in Resources tab must be unchecked.
