EXECUTION PART 3

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Prepare for approval a Project Schedule, as specified herein, pursuant to the Contract Clause, SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. Show in the schedule the sequence in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work and dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing all schedule activities. The scheduling of the entire project, including the design and construction sequences is required. The scheduling of design and construction is the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor management personnel shall actively participate in its development.

3.1.1 Subcontractors and Suppliers

Book Page 19 of 341

Section 01 32 01.00 10 – Project Schedule Page 2 of 14

Subcontractors and suppliers working on the project shall also contribute in developing and maintaining an accurate Project Schedule. Provide a schedule that is forward planning and a project monitoring tool.

3.1.2 Approved Project Schedule

Use the approved Project Schedule to measure the progress of the work and to aid in evaluating time extensions. The schedule will provide the basis for all progress payments.

If the Contractor fails to submit any schedule within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule.

3.1.3 Schedule Status Reports

Provide a Schedule Status Report on at least a monthly basis. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved schedule, take steps necessary to improve its progress including those that may be required by the Contracting Officer, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

3.1.4 Default Terms

Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer shall be grounds for a determination that the Contractor is not executing the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within the time specified in the contract. Upon making this determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work or any separable part of it, in accordance with the default terms of the contract.

3.2 BASIS FOR PAYMENT AND COST LOADING

3.3.2.6 Activity Work Area – Coding (AREA)

Assign Work Area codes to activities based upon the work area in which the activity occurs.

Define work areas based on resource constraints or space constraints that would preclude a resource, such as a particular trade or craft work crew, from working in more than one work area at a time due to restraints on resources or space. Activities shall not have more than one Work Area Code.

Not all activities are required to be Work Area coded. A lack of Work Area coding will indicate the activity is not resource or space constrained.

3.3.2.7 Contract Changes/Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REA) – Coding (MODF)

Add any activity or sequence of activities to the project schedule as a result of a Contract Modification, when approved by the Contracting Officer. Any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule as a result of alleged construction changes made by the Government shall be added to the current schedule and shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval. Approval to add activities to the project schedule does not necessarily mean the Government accepts responsibility and, therefore, liability for such activities and any associated impacts to the schedule, but rather the Government recognizes such activities are appropriately added to the schedule for the purposes of maintaining a realistic and meaningful schedule. An activity shall not be the result of more than one Contract Change, i.e., every Contract Change shall be scheduled as its own activity or set of activities.

3.3.2.8 Contract Line Item (CLIN) – Coding (BIDI)

Book Page 22 of 341

Section 01 32 01.00 10 – Project Schedule Page 5 of 14

Code all activities to the CLIN on the Contract Line Item Schedule to which the activity belongs. An activity shall not contain more than one CLIN Item Code. CLIN Item code all activities, even when an activity is not cost loaded.

3.3.2.9 Phase of Work – Coding (PHAS)

Assign Phase of Work Code to all activities based upon the phase of work in which the activity occurs. Code activities to either a Design Phase or a Construction Phase. Code fast track design and construction phases proposed by the Contractor to allow filtering and organizing the schedule by fast track design and construction packages. If the contract specifies construction phasing with separately defined performance periods, identify a Construction Phase Code to allow filtering and organizing the schedule accordingly. Each activity shall be identified with a single project phase and have only one Phase of Work code.

3.3.2.10 Category of Work – Coding (CATW)

Assign Category of Work Code to all Activities based upon the category of work to which the activity belongs. Category of Work Code must include, but is not limited to: permits, construction submittals, construction submittal approvals, Acceptance, Procurement, Fabrication, Delivery, Weather Sensitive Installation, Non-Weather Sensitive Installation, Start-Up, Test and Turnover. Assign a Category of Work Code to each activity. Each activity shall have only one Category of Work Code.

3.3.2.11 Definable Features of Work (DFOW) – Coding (FOW1, FOW2, FOW3, …)

Assign a DFOW Code to appropriate activities based on the definable feature of work to which the activity belongs. DFOW is defined in Specification Section 01 45 00.10 20 QUALITY CONTROL FOR MINOR CONSTRUCTION. An activity shall not have more than one FOW Code. Not all activities are required to be FOW Coded. A DFOW is a task which is separate and distinct from other tasks, has the same control requirements, and the same work crews. All DFOWs that have been identified in the Quality Control Plan and shall be identified and scheduled on the Project Schedule.

3.3.2.12 Three Phase Inspection Requirements

Before and during the project, quality control shall be maintained through the inspection requirements set forth in Section 01 45 00.10 20, QUALITY CONTROL FOR MINOR

CONSTRUCTION.

3.3.3 Scheduled Project Work Activity Calendar

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.

Weather sensitive installation activities are to be noted as such on the project schedule.

Original durations must account for anticipated normal adverse weather. Activities may be

Book Page 23 of 341

Section 01 32 01.00 10 – Project Schedule Page 6 of 14 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. The Government will interpret all work periods not identified as non-work periods on the project schedule as meaning the Contractor intends to perform work during those periods.

3.3.3.1 Project Start Date

The schedule shall start no earlier than the date on which the Notice To Proceed (NTP) was acknowledged. Include as the first activity in the project schedule an activity called "Start Project"(or NTP). Actual work will not start until schedule has been approved by the COR.

3.3.3.2 Schedule Constraints and Open Ended Logic

Constrain completion of the last activity in the schedule by the contract completion date.

The schedule shall have no constrained dates other than those specified in the contract.

There shall only be 2 open ended activities:

a. Start Project (or NTP) with no predecessor logic

b. End Project with no successor logic.

3.3.3.3 Early Project Completion

In the event that the 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 will not approve an early completion schedule with zero float on the longest path. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate activities for which it is responsible to support a proposed early contract completion.

3.3.4 Interim Completion Dates

Constrain contractually specified interim completion dates to show negative float when the calculated early finish date of the last activity in that phase is later than the specified interim completion date.

3.3.4.1 Start Phase

Include as the first activity for a project phase an activity called "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The "Start Phase X" activity shall have an Earliest Start "ES" constraint date equal to the date on which the NTP was acknowledged and a zero day duration.

3.3.4.2 End Phase

Book Page 24 of 341

Section 01 32 01.00 10 – Project Schedule Page 7 of 14

Include as the last activity for a project phase an activity called "End Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The "End Phase X" activity shall have a Latest Finish "LF" constraint date equal to the specified completion date for that phase and a zero day duration.

3.3.4.3 Phase "X" Hammock

Include a hammock type activity for each project phase called "Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. A hammock activity is a group of related schedule activities that, for reporting purposes, is shown as a single aggregate activity on the project schedule. The "Phase X" hammock activity shall be logically tied to the earliest and latest activities in the phase.

3.3.5 Default Progress Data Disallowed

Do not automatically update Actual Start and Finish dates with default mechanisms that may be included in the scheduling software. Activity Actual Start (AS) and Actual Finish (AF) dates assigned during the updating process shall match those dates provided from Contractor Quality Control Reports. Failure of the Contractor to document the AS and AF dates on the Daily Quality Control report for every in-progress or completed activity, and failure to ensure that the data contained on the Daily Quality Control reports is the sole basis for schedule updating shall result in the disapproval of the Contractor's updated schedule and the inability of the Contracting Officer to evaluate Contractor progress for payment purposes. Updating of the percent complete and the remaining duration of any activity shall be independent functions. Disable program features which calculate one of these parameters from the other.

3.3.6 Out-of-Sequence Progress

Activities that have progressed before all preceding logic has been satisfied (Out-of- Sequence Progress) will be allowed only on a case-by-case basis subject to approval by the Contracting Officer Representative. Propose logic corrections to eliminate all out of sequence progress or justify not changing the sequencing for approval prior to submitting an updated project schedule. Correct out of sequence progress that continues for more than two update cycles by logic revision, as approved by the Contracting Officer Representative.

3.3.7 Negative Lags and Start to Finish Relationships

Lag durations contained in the project schedule shall not have a negative value. Do not use Start to Finish (SF) relationships.

3.3.8 Calculation Mode

Schedule calculations shall retain the logic between predecessors and successors even when the successor activity starts and the predecessor activity has not finished. Software features that in effect sever the tie between predecessor and successor activities when the successor has started and the predecessor logic is not satisfied ("progress override") will not be allowed.

3.3.9 Milestones

Book Page 25 of 341

Section 01 32 01.00 10 – Project Schedule Page 8 of 14

The schedule must include milestone activities for each significant project event (as appropriate for the specific project) including but not limited to:

a. Milestone activities for each fast track design package released for construction

b. Design complete

c. Permanent power complete

d. Testing complete.

3.4 PROJECT SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS

Provide the submissions as described below. The data CD, reports, and network diagrams required for each submission are contained in paragraph SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

3.4.1 Initial Project Schedule Submission

Submit the Initial Project Schedule for approval no later than the Preconstruction Meeting.

The schedule shall demonstrate a reasonable and realistic sequence of activities which represent all work through the entire contract performance period. The Initial Schedule shall be at a reasonable level of detail as determined by the Contracting Officer. The approved Initial Project Schedule will be used for payment purposes. Completely cost load the Initial Project Schedule to balance the contract award CLINS shown on the Schedule of Values.

The Initial Project Schedule must include all of the required Plan and Program preparations, submissions and approvals identified in the contract (for example, Quality Control Plan, Safety Plan, and Environmental Protection Plan. Include the entire construction effort with as much detail as is known at the time but, as a minimum, include all construction start and completion milestones, and detailed construction activities. Initial project schedule should show how planned construction activities are constrained by Government acceptance of the submissions and all other specified Program and Plan approvals. Show all meetings in the initial project schedule. Including monthly or biweekly project reviews (frequency as identified in the contract documents).

3.4.2 Periodic Schedule Updates

Based on the result of the meeting, specified in 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.

Update the schedule to include detailed construction activities.

3.4.3 Standard Activity Coding Dictionary

Use the activity coding structure defined in the Standard Data Exchange Format (SDEF) in ER 1-1-11, Appendix A. This exact structure is mandatory, even if some fields are not used.
