SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 4

3.2 APPROVED CHANGES VERIFICATION:

Include only those project schedule changes in the schedule submission that have been previously approved by the Contracting Officer. The Narrative Report shall specifically reference, on an activity basis, all documented, approved schedule changes.

3.3 PAYMENT TO THE CONTRACTOR:

f. Activity/event duration and percent complete shall be updated independently.

As part of the weekly jobsite progress meeting, the General Contractor, specifically requested subcontractors and the Contracting Officers shall meet to discuss the monthly updated schedule. The main emphasis shall be to address work activities to avoid slippage of project schedule and to identify any necessary actions required to maintain project schedule during the reporting period.

3.3.1 Responsibility For Completion:

Whenever it becomes apparent from the weekly progress review meeting or the monthly computer produced Bar chart schedule that phasing or contract completion dates will not be met, the Contractor shall adjust means and methods to eliminate the backlog of work.

Prior to proceeding with any of adjustments, the Contractor shall notify and obtain approval from the Contracting Officer for the proposed schedule changes. If such actions are approved, the revisions shall be incorporated by the Contractor into the Bar chart before the next update, at no additional cost to the Government.

3.4 REQUEST FOR TIME EXTENSIONS:

In the event the Contractor believe it is entitled to an extension of the contract performance period, completion date, or any interim milestone date, furnish the following for a determination by the Contracting Officer: justification, project schedule data, and supporting evidence as the Contracting Officer may deem necessary. Submission of proof of excusable delay, based on revised activity logic, duration, and costs (updated to the specific date that the delay occurred) is a condition precedent to any approvals issued by the Government, submit a schedule

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 5 impact analysis demonstrating whether or not the change contemplated by the Government impacts the critical path.

3.5 ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT COMPLETION:

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, Bar 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 work days) and costs is obligatory to any approvals.

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

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 order proposal, a sketch showing all Bar chart revisions, duration (in work days) changes, and cost changes, for work in question and its relationship to other activities on the approved network diagram.

All delays due to non-work activities/events such as RFIs, WEATHER, STRIKES, and similar non-work activities/events shall be analyzed on a month-by-month basis.

3.6 DIRECTED CHANGES

If the NTP is issued for changes prior to settlement of price and/or time, submit proposed schedule revisions to the Contracting Office within 2 weeks of the NTP being issued. The Contracting Officer will approve proposed revisions to the schedule prior to the inclusion of those changes within the project schedule. If the Contractor fails to submit the proposed revisions, the Contracting Officer may furnish the Contractor with suggested revisions to the project schedule. Include these revisions in the project schedule until revisions are submitted, and final changes and impacts have been negotiated. If the Contractor has any objections to the revisions furnished by the Contracting Officer, advice the Contracting Officer within 2 weeks of receipt of the revisions. Regardless off the objections, continue to update the schedule with the Contracting Officer's revisions until a mutual agreement in the revisions is reached. If the Contractor fails to submit alternate revisions within 2 weeks of recite of the Contracting Officer's proposed revisions, the Contractor will be deemed to have occurred with the Contracting Officer's proposed revisions. The proposed revisions will then be the basis for an equitable adjustment for performance of the work.

a. Government (or as otherwise mutually agreed to) for the purpose of jointly reviewing the actual progress and to review planned activities for the upcoming two weeks. The then current and approved schedule update shall be used shall be used for the purposes of this meeting and for the

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 6 production and review of reports. The Contractor's Project Manager and the Authorized Representative of the Contracting Officer shall attend. The weekly progress meeting will address the status of the RFI's, RFP's and Submittals.

b. Provide a bar chart produced by the scheduling software, organized by Total Float and sorted by Early Start Date, and a two week "look-ahead" schedule by filtering all schedule activities to show only current ongoing activities and activities scheduled to start during the upcoming two weeks.

3.7 TRANSFER OF SCHEDULE DATA INTO RMS/QCS

Download and upload the scheduled data into the Resident Management System (RMS) prior to RMS databases being transferred to the Government and is considered to be additional supporting data in a form and detail required by the Contracting Officer pursuant to FAR 52.232-5 - Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts. The receipt of a proper payment request pursuant to FAR 52.232-2777 - Prompt Payment for Construction Contracts is contingent upon Government receiving both acceptable and approved hard copies and electronic export from QCS of the application for progress payment.

1.9.1 Considering Variations

Discussion with Contracting Officer prior to submission, after consulting with the DOR, will help ensure functional and quality requirements are met and minimize rejections and re-submittals. When contemplating a variation which results in lower cost, consider submission of the variation as a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP).

Specifically point out variations from contract requirements in transmittal letters. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the Government.

1.9.2 Proposing Variations

When proposing variation, deliver written request to the Contracting Officer, with documentation of the nature and features of the variation and why the variation is desirable and beneficial to Government, including the DOR's written analysis and approval. If lower cost is a benefit, also include an estimate of the cost savings. In addition to documentation required for variation, include the submittals required for the item.

Clearly mark the proposed variation in all documentation.

Check the column "variation" of ENG Form 4025 for submittals which include proposed deviations requested by the Contractor. Set forth in writing the reason for any deviations and annotate such deviations on the submittal.

The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted deviations.

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 10 submittals with performance of work so that work will not be delayed by submittal processing. Allow for potential resubmittal of requirements.

b. Submittals called for by the contract documents will be listed on the register. If a submittal is called for but does not pertain to the contract work, the Contractor is to include the submittal in the register and annotate it "N/A" with a brief explanation. Approval by the Contracting Officer does not relieve the Contractor of supplying submittals required by the contract documents but which have been omitted from the register or marked "N/A."

c. Re-submit register and annotate monthly by the Contractor with actual submission and approval dates. When all items on the register have been fully approved, no further re-submittal is required.
