These must be submitted with and substantively support the contractor’s monthly application and certificate for payment request documents.

B. When the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish to the Contracting

Officer the information and the associated updated Gantt Chart data, which, in the sole judgment of the Contracting Officer, are necessary

01 32 17-5 for validating the monthly progress payment, the Contractor shall not be deemed to have provided supporting schedule data upon which progress payment may be reasonably determined.

1.8 PAYMENT AND PROGRESS REPORTING:

A. Monthly job site progress meetings shall be held on dates mutually agreed to by the Contracting Officer (or Contracting Officer's

Representative) and the Contractor. Presence of subcontractors during the progress meeting is optional unless required by the Contracting

Officer (or Contracting Officer's Representative). Job progress will be reviewed to verify:

1. Actual start and/or finish dates for updated/completed activities/events.

B. Revisions made under this paragraph, which affect the previously approved computer-produced schedules for Government furnished equipment, contract phase(s) and sub phase(s), utilities furnished by the Government to the Contractor, or any other previously contracted item, must be furnished in writing to the Contracting Officer for approval.

C. Contracting Officer's approval for the revised Gantt Chart and all relevant data is contingent upon compliance with all other paragraphs of this section and any other previous agreements by the Contracting

Officer or the Contracting Officer’s Representative.

D. The cost of revisions to the Gantt Chart resulting from contract changes will be included in the cost of the change.

E. The cost of revisions to the Gantt Chart not resulting from contract changes is the responsibility of the Contractor.

1.11 ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT COMPLETION:

A. The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this contract. Request for an extension of the contract completion date by the Contractor shall be supported with a justification, Gantt

Chart data and supporting evidence as the Contracting Officer may deem necessary for determination as to whether or not the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of the contract.

Submission of proof based on revised activity/event logic, durations

(in workdays) and costs is obligatory to any approvals.

B. The Contracting Officer's determination as to the total number of days of contract extension will be based upon the current computer-produced

Gantt Chart schedule for the time period when the change took place and all other relevant information. The Contracting Officer will, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, advise the Contractor in writing of his decision on the matter.

C. The Contractor shall submit each request for a change in the contract completion date to the Contracting Officer in accordance with the provisions specified under Article, CHANGES, in the Section, GENERAL

CONDITIONS. The Contractor shall include, as a part of each change

01 32 17-8 order proposal, a sketch showing all revisions, duration (in workdays) changes, and cost changes, for work in question and its relationship to other activities on the approved network diagram.
