SECTION 01 32 17 Page 2

00700 CONTRACT CLAUSE, FAR 52.236-15 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 Bid 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 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.
