13 2024 v1 03062024 the Contractor.

11. PROJECT SCHEDULE AND TIME CONSTRAINT

Provide Construction Schedule adequate for the Contractor to efficiently manage project and for Government to efficiently manage QA and scheduling interfaces. Include construction phasing and any work restrictions (such as occupied spaces, special hours, potential work disruptions, historical weather impacts, host nation holidays, and other schedule impacting information).

Schedule shall contain DFOWs and dates for completion of each task including material procurement, Government review time, and construction activities.

The Contractor shall be required to commence work under this Contract immediately following receipt of the Contract Award. The Contractor shall prosecute the work diligently and complete all the work requirements, ready for occupational use by the owner within the period of performance stated in the Contract Award and FAR 52.211-10 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (APR 1984) unless otherwise modified through contract modification by the Contracting Officer. The performance period includes preparation of all design and preconstruction submittals, government review, material procurement, mobilization, construction, inspection and acceptance, demobilization, and other contract requirements.

A detailed construction schedule, using industry accepted scheduling software, shall be prepared by the Contractor and submitted to the Government for approval at least two weeks before the Contractor begins any construction work on-site. The Contractor is required to provide monthly project schedule update during construction to keep the Government apprised of the current construction plan and progress. The Contractor must schedule all work to cause the least amount of interference with normal operations to the occupants of the areas surrounding the project site. The COR must be notified 15 calendar days in advance for any service interruptions or events requiring disruption to occupants and shall receive prior approval by the COR.

The schedule shall clearly show the activities of the critical path. Develop the Project Schedule to the appropriate level of detail to address major milestones and to allow for satisfactory project planning and execution. Failure to develop the Project Schedule to an appropriate level of detail will result in its disapproval. Once an activity exists on the schedule it may not be deleted and must remain in the logic.

No more than 20 percent of the activities may be critical or near critical. Critical will be defined as having zero days of Total Float. "Near critical" will be defined as having Total Float in the range of 1 to 14 days. The initial activity on the schedule shall be “Contract Duration” to show the entire period of performance to capture overall float. Show the following information on the diagrams for each activity:

a. Activity ID

b. Activity Description

c. Original Duration in Workdays

d. Remaining duration

e. Actual Duration in Workdays

f. Early Start Date

g. Early Finish Date

h. Total Float

Construction activities shall include, but are not limited to: Tasks related to mobilization or demobilization; the installation of temporary or permanent work by tradesman; testing and inspections of installed work by technicians, inspectors or engineers; start-up and testing of equipment;

14 2024 v1 03062024 commissioning of building and related systems; scheduling of specified manufacture's representatives;

Punch Out Inspection; Pre-Final Inspection, Final Acceptance Inspection; final clean-up; training to be provided; and administrative tasks necessary to start, proceed with, accomplish or finalize the Contract.

No onsite construction activity shall have a duration in excess of 20 working days. Contractor activities will be driven by calendars that reflect Saturdays, Sundays and all US Federal holidays and host nation holidays as non-workdays.

Monthly Updates – The Contractor shall update the schedule monthly and provide to the COR.

Anticipated Weather Delays – Any activity duration, which could be impacted by normally anticipated adverse weather (precipitation, high or low temperature, wind, etc.), due to the time period that the Contractor has scheduled the work, shall include an adjustment to include the anticipated weather delay. A lost workday, due to weather conditions is defined as a day in which the Contractor's workforce cannot work 50 percent or more of the day. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer when a lost day has occurred due to weather and will record on the daily/weekly reports, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to the normally scheduled work. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair-weather workdays and issue a modification in accordance with the contract clauses. The Contractor shall submit a request for additional time with supporting documentation to include a Time Impact Analysis (TIA), the baseline schedule, a revised schedule showing all impacts, weather reports showing higher than average, and any other supporting documentation.

A lost workday, due to any other denial to the site for any other reason such as, but not limited to, Base operations, a Base exercise, or ceremony, is defined as a day in which the Contractor's workforce cannot work 50 percent or more of the day.

The TIA method shall be used by the Contracting Officer and Contractor in determining if a time extension is justified. The Contractor shall provide a TIA to the Contracting Officer for any proposed contract change or as support for a Variance Request, Claim or Request for Equitable Adjustment by the Contractor illustrating the influence of each change or delay on the Contract Completion Date or milestones.
