PART 2 PRODUCTS (Not Applicable)

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Pursuant to the Contract Clause, SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS, a Project Schedule as described below shall be prepared. The scheduling of construction shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor management personnel shall actively participate in its development.

Subcontractors and suppliers working on the project shall also contribute in developing and maintaining an accurate Project Schedule. A bar chart shall be prepared in accordance with paragraph PROGRESS SCHEDULE - BAR CHART

3.2 MONITORING CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

The schedule shall be the basis for measuring Contractor progress. Lack of an approved schedule or scheduling personnel will result in an inability of the Contracting Officer to evaluate Contractor's progress. Failure of the Contractor to provide all information, as specified below, shall result in the disapproval of the entire Project Schedule submission and the inability of the Contracting Officer to evaluate Contractor progress for payment purposes. In the case where Project Schedule revisions have been directed by the Contracting Officer and those revisions have not been included in the Project Schedule, the Contracting Officer may hold retainage up to the maximum allowed by contract, each payment period, until revisions to the Project Schedule have been made.

3.3 PROGRESS SCHEDULE - BAR CHART

The progress chart to be prepared by the Contractor pursuant to Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSE, paragraph "SCHEDULES FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS" shall consist of a bar chart as described herein. In preparing this schedule, the scheduling of construction is the responsibility of the Contractor and contractor management personnel shall actively participate in its development. The chart may be prepared in a format proposed by the Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer. Each activity shall include the applicable Price Schedule item number and show the estimated cost. The chart shall be prepared in sufficient detail to clearly show the Contractor's planned progress and the relationship of the various items of work. Larger activities shall be broken down into smaller activities with clearly defined limits (i.e. Excavation between STA xx and STA yy). In general, the estimated cost of any individual activity should not exceed $50,000. The selection and number of activities shall be subject to the Contracting Officer's approval. The chart shall be updated monthly to show

SECTION 01 32 17 Page 2 actual progress and percentage of work completed for each activity. The Contractor shall submit, as part of his monthly request for payment, updated copies of his progress schedule identifying the work completed during the reporting period. If the Government issues changes to the existing work or adds additional work items to the contract, the Contractor shall revise his progress schedule accordingly. All costs associated with revising the schedule shall be included as part of the modification of the contract. If the Contractor's progress falls behind his planned work effort, a revised schedule shall be furnished to show how the Contractor proposes to complete the remaining work within the contract time. If the Contractor fails to submit updates as required, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of partial payment estimates, until such submittals are made.
