The schedule interval shall extend from NTP date to the required contract completion date. The contract completion activity (End Project) shall finish based on the required contract duration in the accepted contract proposal, as adjusted for any approved contract time extensions. The first scheduled work period shall be the day after NTP is received by the Contractor. Schedule activities on a calendar to which the activity logically belongs. Activities may be assigned to a 7-day calendar when the contract assigns calendar day durations for the activity such as a Government Acceptance activity. If the

Contractor intends to perform physical work less than seven days per week, schedule the associated activities on a calendar with non-work periods identified including weekends and holidays. Note as Weather Sensitive

Installation those activities that are weather sensitive. Durations must account for anticipated normal adverse weather. The Government will interpret all work periods not identified as non-work periods on each calendar as meaning the Contractor intends to perform work during those periods.

3.2.2.1 Project Start Date

The schedule shall start no earlier than the date on which the NTP was acknowledged. Include as the first activity in the project schedule an activity called "Start Project" (or NTP) with a start date equal to the date that the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.

3.2.2.2 Schedule Constraints and Open Ended Logic

Constrain completion of the last activity in the schedule by the contract completion date. Schedule calculations shall result in a negative float when the calculated early finish date of the last activity is later than the

Section 01 32 01.00 10 Page 5 contract completion date. Include as the last activity in the project schedule an activity called "End Project" with an end date equal to the contract completion date for the project, and with a zero day duration. The schedule shall have no constrained dates other than those specified in the contract.

3.2.2.3 Early Project Completion

In the event the Initial project schedule calculates an early completion date of the last activity prior to the contract completion date, identify those activities that it intends to accelerate and/or those activities that are scheduled in parallel to support the Contractor's "early" completion. The last activity shall have a late finish constraint equal to the contract completion date and the schedule will calculate positive float. The

Government is under no obligation to accelerate activities for which it is responsible to support a proposed early contract completion.

3.2.3 Milestones

The schedule must include milestone activities for each significant project event including but not limited to: milestone activities for construction;

foundation/substructure construction complete; superstructure construction complete; building dry-in or enclosure complete to allow the initiation of finish activities; permanent power complete; and building systems commissioning complete.

3.3.2 Periodic Schedule Updates

Based on the result of the meeting, specified in PERIODIC SCHEDULE UPDATE

MEETINGS, submit periodic schedule updates. These submissions will enable the Contracting Officer to assess Contractor's progress. If the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish the information and project schedule data, which in the judgment of the Contracting Officer or authorized representative is necessary for verifying the Contractor's progress, the Contractor shall be deemed not to have provided an estimate upon which progress payment may be made.

Narrative Report shall include: a description of activities along the 2 most critical paths where the total float is less than or equal to 20 work days, a description of current and anticipated problem areas or delaying factors and their impact, and an explanation of corrective actions taken or required to be taken. The narrative report is expected to communicate to the Government, the Contractor's thorough analysis of the schedule output and its plans to compensate for any problems, either current or potential, which are revealed through that analysis. Identify and explain why any activities that, based on their planned dates, should have either started or finished during the update period but did not.

3.4.3 Approved Changes Verification

This report shall: sum all activities and provide a percent complete. The printed report shall contain, for each activity: the Activity Number, Activity Description, and Percent

Complete (based on total contract value).

3.4.5 Network Diagram

The network diagram is required for the Initial and Periodic Updates. The network diagram shall depict and display the order and interdependence of activities and the sequence in which the work is to be accomplished. The

Section 01 32 01.00 10 Page 8

3.5.1 Update Submission Following Progress Meeting

Submit a complete update of the project schedule containing all approved progress, revisions, and adjustments, pursuant to paragraph SUBMISSION

REQUIREMENTS not later than 4 working days after the periodic schedule update meeting, reflecting only those changes made during the previous update

3.5.2 Status of Activities

Update information, including Actual Start Dates (AS), Actual Finish Dates

(AF), Remaining Durations (RD), and Percent Complete shall be subject to the approval of the Government prior to the meeting. As a minimum, address the following items on an activity by activity basis during each progress

3.5.2.1 Start and Finish Dates

Accurately show the status of the AS and/or AF dates for each activity currently in-progress or completed since the last update. The Government may allow an AF date to be assigned with the percent complete less than 100% to account for the value of work remaining but not restraining successor activities. Only assign AS dates when actual progress occurs on an activity.

3.5.2.2 Remaining Duration

Update the estimated RD for all incomplete activities independent of Percent

Complete. Remaining Durations may exceed the activity OD or may exceed the activity's prior update RD if the Government considers the current OD or RD to be understated based on current progress, insufficient work crews actually manning the job, unrealistic OD or deficiencies that must be corrected that restrain successor activities.

3.5.2.3 Percent Complete

Update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of earned value. Activities which are complete but for remaining minor punch list work and which do not restrain the initiation of successor activities may be declared 100 percent complete. To allow for proper schedule management, cost load the correction of punch list from Government final inspection not less than 1 percent of the total contract value, which activity(ies) may be declared 100 percent complete upon completion and correction of all punch list work identified during Government final inspection.

a. Meet weekly with the Government (or as otherwise mutually agreed to) between the meetings described in paragraph PERIODIC SCHEDULE UPDATE

MEETINGS for the purpose of jointly reviewing the actual progress of the project as compared to the planned progress and to review planned activities for the upcoming two weeks. The then-current and approved schedule update shall be used for the purposes of this meeting and for the production and review of reports. The Contractor's Project Manager and the Authorized Representative of the Contracting Officer shall attend. The weekly progress meeting will address the status of RFI's, RFP's and Submittals.

Section 01 32 01.00 10 Page 9

b. Provide a bar chart showing Total Float and Sorted by Early Start

Date, with a two week "look-ahead" schedule by filtering all schedule activities to show only current ongoing activities and activities schedule to start during the upcoming two weeks, organized by responsible party and sorted by Early Start Date.

c. The Government and the Contractor shall jointly review the reports.

If it appears that activities on the longest path(s) which are currently driving the calculated completion date, are not progressing satisfactorily and therefore could jeopardize timely project completion, corrective action must be taken immediately.
