1.5 PARTNERING
To most effectively accomplish this Contract, the Government requires the formation of a cohesive partnership within the Project Team whose members are from the Government Construction Team, the Contractor and their Subcontractors. Key personnel from the Supported Command, the End User (who will occupy the facility), the Government Construction team, Construction Subject Matter Experts, the Contractor and Subcontractors, will be invited to participate in the Partnering process. The Partnership will draw on the strength of each organization in an effort to achieve a project that is without any safety mishaps, conforms to the Contract, and stays within budget and on schedule. Small projects should have an Issue Resolution Matrix at a minimum. As project increase in size/complexity, the partnering processes will expand accordingly.
1.5.1 Informal Partnering
The Contracting Officer will organize the Partnering Sessions with key personnel of the project team, including Contractor personnel and Government personnel. The Initial Partnering session will be a part of the Pre-Construction Meeting. Partnering sessions will be held at a location agreed to by the Contracting Officer and the Contractor. The Partners will determine the frequency of the follow-on sessions, at no more than three-to six-month intervals. Informal Partnering is led by Resident Engineer personnel at the Pre-Construction Conference.
1.6 UTILITIES
It is anticipated that pole lines, signs, pipelines and private improvements that would interfere with or are to be replaced by new construction will be removed to new locations by the owners in advance of construction operations. Notify the Contracting Officer at least 30 calendar days in advance of the date on which work will be started requiring the removal of such utilities or private improvements. Care must be taken to preserve and protect any such improvements from injury or damage during construction operations. Assume full responsibility for reimbursing the owners for any damage to their properties, utilities, or improvements, or interference with their services caused through
SECTION 01 00 00 Page 3 construction operations. Should such damage be found to have been caused without the Contractor's fault or negligence an equitable adjustment in the amount due under the Contract will be made under the applicable CONTRACT CLAUSES. If unplanned utilities are discovered during construction the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer.
1.7 PLANNED UTILITY OUTAGES AND STREET CLOSURES
Power outages must be restricted to off-duty hours and weekends. Other utilities may be connected and streets closed during normal working hours with the outage duration and street closure as short as possible. All outages and street closures must be scheduled as far in advance as possible with the Contracting Officer and in no case less than 7 days before the outage or closure.
1.8 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER
This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:
a. The weather experienced at the project site during the Contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.
b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.
The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.
MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY
WORK DAYS BASED ON (5) DAY WORK WEEK
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
8 7 7 3 2 0 0 0 1 2 5 8
Upon execution of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the Contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day.
Refer to ER 415-1-15 .
1.9 BID ITEM OVERRUN
Throughout the Contract (at a minimum, every two weeks), monitor placement or installation of unit price items (if any) with respect to the original estimated quantities shown in the Contract. If placement or installation
SECTION 01 00 00 Page 4 indicates a possible overrun with respect to the original estimated quantities shown in the Contract, immediately provide written notification to the Contracting Officer with revised total estimated quantities.
1.10 WARRANTY OF CONSTRUCTION
a. Performance Bond.
(1) It is understood that the Contractor's Performance Bond will remain effective throughout the life of all warranties and warranty extensions.
(2) In the event the Contractor or his designated representative fails to commence and diligently pursue any work required under the Warranty of Construction Section of the Technical Provisions within a reasonable time after receipt of written notification pursuant to the requirements thereof, the Contracting Officer must have a right to demand that said work be performed under the Performance Bond by making written notice on the surety. If the surety fails or refuses to perform the obligation it assumed under the Performance Bond, the Contracting Officer must have the work performed by others, and after completion of the work, must make demand for reimbursement of any or all expenses incurred by the Government while performing the work, including, but not limited to administrative expenses.
(3) Warranty repair work which arises to threaten the health or safety of personnel, the physical safety of property or equipment, or which impairs operations, habitability of living spaces, etc., will be handled by the Contractor on an immediate basis as directed verbally by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative. Written verification will follow verbal instructions. Failure of the Contractor to respond as verbally directed will be cause for the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative to have the warranty repair work performed by others and to proceed against the Contractor as outlined in the paragraph (2) above.
1.11 NON CONTRACT WORK
Do not perform any work or erect any structure for third parties, landowners or otherwise, within the limits of the rights-of-way without prior approval of the Contracting Officer.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 CONTRACT COST BREAKDOWN
The Contractor must furnish within 30 days after the date of Notice to Proceed, and prior to the submission of its first partial payment estimate, a price breakdown of its single job pay item or items which will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer as to propriety of distribution of the total cost to the various accounts. Any unbalanced items as between early and late payment items or other discrepancies will be revised by the Contracting Officer to agree with a reasonable cost of the work included in the various items. This contract cost breakdown will then be utilized as the basis for progress payments to the Contractor.
3.1.1 Required Procedure
The payment request process shall begin with the scheduling meeting.
Section 01 32 01 PROJECT SCHEDULE states: "Use the schedule as the basis for determining contract earnings during each update period and therefore the amount of each progress payment." The Quality Assurance Representative (QA Rep) or Project Engineer will meet with the Contractor each month and mutually agree to the quantities and lump sum percentages to be invoiced prior to the Contractor's official invoice being submitted to the Administrating Office.
The Contractor shall print a copy of the Contractor's Pay Request Form from RMS to record the mutually agreed upon quantities and percentages.
NOTE: Contractor earnings shall not be projected. This form shall be signed and dated by the QA Rep and the Contractor. Consideration will be given to safety, submittals, Contractor quality control (CQC), acceptable work, as well as overall progress. In the case of deficient work, SECTION 01 22 00 Page 4 withholding the cost of removal and reconstruction shall be considered.
Contractor shall submit a preliminary payment request worksheet to the QA Rep. This document is printed from RMS, which lists not only the pay activities for which payment is requested, but also lists any Contractor action items e.g. outstanding submittals, payrolls, quality control items, etc. Contractor shall also submit all required back-up documentation if applicable, such as surveys, concrete calculations, weight tickets for tonnage items, etc.
The QA Rep shall meet with the Contractor to determine if the preliminary pay request and corresponding back-up is acceptable. The QA Rep shall enter the approved percentages or quantities on the preliminary pay request worksheet, ensuring that consideration has been made to all Contractor action items that have not been completed or corrected. Both parties shall sign and date the last page. Contractor shall submit the formal pay request package to the Administrating Office (original) and the QA Rep (copy), incorporating any changes made on the preliminary pay request on or before the 10th of the month. Contractor shall also enter the pay request into RMS.
3.1.2 Required Documents
Pay request packages from Contractors shall include the following documents:
a. Prompt Payment Certification and Requested Earnings printed from RMS and wet signed.
b. Preliminary payment request worksheet, signed and dated by both parties.
c. Required back-up, if applicable (survey, cross-sections, weight tickets, etc.)
d. Updated approved schedule (progress chart or NAS with narrative report as specified)
e. Safety Exposure Report (hard copy not required, will be verified in
RMS)
f. Current Submittal Register (hard copy not required, will be verified in RMS)
g. Current QC Test Log (entered and printed from RMS)
h. Certified Payrolls (prime and subs at all tiers) entered in RMS and submitted to the Administrating Office
If the progress payment request is missing any of the above items or imports into RMS, the Administrating Office shall notify the Contractor within 7 days and suspend the processing of the progress payment until the missing information has been received. The invoice will not be considered acceptable until a complete pay request package has been submitted and imports performed. Upon receipt of an acceptable invoice, the invoice is stamped 'RECEIVED'. In accordance with FAR 52.232-27 Prompt Payment for Construction Contracts, the due date for making payment is 14 days after the designated billing office receives a proper complete payment request.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Prepare for approval a Project Schedule, as specified herein, pursuant to FAR Clause 52.236-15 Schedules for Construction Contracts. Show in the schedule the proposed sequence to perform the work and dates contemplated for starting and completing all schedule activities. The scheduling of the entire project is required. The scheduling of construction is the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor management personnel must actively participate in its development. Subcontractors and suppliers working on the project must also contribute in developing and maintaining an accurate Project Schedule. Provide a schedule that is a forward planning as well as a project monitoring tool. Use the Critical Path Method (CPM) of network calculation to generate all Project Schedules.
Prepare each Project Schedule using the Precedence Diagram Method (PDM).
3.1.1 Schedule Status Reports
Provide a Schedule Status Report on at least a weekly 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.
3.1.2 Approved Project Schedule
Use the approved Project Schedule to measure the progress of the work and to aid in evaluating time extensions. Make the schedule cost loaded and activity coded. 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.
SECTION 01 32 01 Page 4
3.1.3 Default Terms
Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer must be grounds for a determination, by the Contracting Officer, that the Contractor is not prosecuting 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
The approved Project Schedule is the basis for determining contract earnings during each update period and therefore the amount of each progress payment. Lack of an approved schedule update, or qualified scheduling personnel, will result in the inability of the Contracting Officer to evaluate contract earned value for the purposes of payment.
Failure to provide all required information will result in the disapproval of the preliminary, initial and subsequent schedule updates. The aggregate value of all activities coded to a contract CLIN must equal the value of the CLIN.
3.2.1 Activity Cost Loading
Activity cost loading must be reasonable and without front-end loading.
Provide additional documentation to demonstrate reasonableness if requested by the Contracting Officer.
3.2.2 Withholdings/Payment Rejection
Failure to meet the requirements of this specification may result in the disapproval of the preliminary, initial or periodic schedule updates and subsequent rejection of payment requests until compliance is met.
In the event that the Contracting Officer directs schedule revisions and those revisions have not been included in subsequent Project Schedule revisions or updates, the Contracting Officer may withhold 10 percent of pay request amount from each payment period until such revisions to the project schedule have been made.
3.3 PROJECT SCHEDULE DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
3.3.1 Critical Path Method
Use the Critical Path Method (CPM) of network calculation to generate the Project Schedule. Prepare the Project Schedule using Precedence Diagram Method (PDM).
3.3.2 Level of Detail Required
Develop the Project Schedule to the appropriate level of detail to address major milestones and to allow for satisfactory project planning and execution.
