Once the schedule is accepted, Contractor will be responsible for providing monthly update information on logic, percent complete, actual start and finish dates and duration changes. Contractor will be required to produce the computerized printout of the schedule updates. Copies of the updated schedule will be distributed at the progress meetings.

2. From Contractor’s initial schedule and from information received at the monthly schedule update meetings, computerized and dated tabular schedule reports, or updated network diagrams, or bar charts will be produced by Contractor which will be reviewed by Contractor and ESD Project Manager for accuracy and integrity. It will at all times remain Contractor’s responsibility to schedule and direct his forces in a manner that will allow for the completion of the Work within the contractual period.

3. It should be clearly understood that the initial schedule and all update information must be provided by Contractor and that this information is a representation of the best efforts of Contractor and his subcontractors as to how they envision the work to be accomplished. Similarly, all progress information to be provided by and through Contractor must be an accurate representation of subcontractors or suppliers actual performance. The schedule will at all times remain an accurate reflection of Contractor’s actual or projected sequencing of Work.

Contractor will revise the schedule as often as is necessary during the course of performance of the Work without additional cost to the Government.

D. Progress of the work:

1. The Work will be started on the date indicated in the Notice to Proceed and will be executed with such progress as may be required to prevent delay to other Contractors or to the general completion of the Project. The work will be executed at such times and in or on such parts of the Project, and with such forces, material and equipment, as to assure completion of the Work in the time established by the Contract. Additionally, Contractor will, at times, schedule and direct his Work so that it provides an orderly progression of the Work to completion within the specified Contract Time.

2. Contractor agrees that whenever it becomes apparent from the current monthly CPM Schedule update that delays to the critical path have occurred, and these delays are through no fault of the Government, or Government’s representatives, and hence, that the Contract completion date will not be met, or when so directed by Government, he will take some or all of the following actions at no cost to Government:

a. Increase construction manpower in such quantities and crafts as will substantially eliminate the backlog of Work.

b. Increase the number of working hours per shift; shifts per working day, or days per week; the amount of construction equipment; etc., or any combination of the foregoing to substantially eliminate the backlog of Work.

1. The network diagram will show the order and interdependence of activities and the sequence in which the Work is to be accomplished as planned by Contractor.

The basic concept of the network analysis diagram is to show how the start of a given activity is dependent on the completion of preceding activities and its completion restricts the start of succeeding activities. A time scaled precedence format will be followed. The detailed network diagram will be time scaled showing a continuous flow from left to right.

3Section 01310- CPM Schedules

2. The Schedule Activities will be developed into four major groups:

a. Procurement Activities (as applicable).

1. Permits

2. Easements

3. Submittal Items

4. Approval of Submittal Items

5. Fabrication and Delivery (F&D) of Submittal Items

b. Each of the following procurement activities should be tied logically to the correct construction activity in the overall CPM construction schedule.

1. Permit Activities

2. Easement Activities

3. F&D Activities

c. Construction Activities: Construction activities will be physical work activities that describe how the job will be constructed.

d. Testing, Startup, Training, and Closeout: CPM activities for this group will include all work required to satisfy appropriate specification sections and meet the requirements of Substantial and Final Completion.

3. Contractor will break the work into activity duration of one to twenty (1to20) working days each, except for non-construction activities (such as procurement of materials and delivery of equipment) and other activities that may require longer durations. To the extent feasible, activities related to a specific physical area of the Project should be grouped on the network for ease of understanding and simplification. The selection and number of activities will be subject to the review and agreement of Contractor and ESD.

4. Each activity on the network indicated will have the following:

a. A single duration, no longer than 20 days (i.e., the single best estimate of the expected elapsed time, considering the scope of work involved in the activity) expressed in working days. Normal holidays and weather delays will be included. One critical path will be shown for the schedule.

b. An activity identification number will be assigned to each activity. The identification number will be in a format acceptable to ESD.

c. A brief description of the activity will be included. If this description is not definitive, a separate listing of each activity and a descriptive narrative may be required.

d. Each activity will be loaded to include the total estimated budget of the activity.

e. Each activity (except for procurement activities) will be man-hour loaded with the estimated man-hors to be expended on each day.

5. The CPM schedule will include a weather calendar that contains non-working days in addition to weekend and holidays to account for anticipated inclement weather days. The number of anticipated inclement weather days per month will be based on average weather fir the immediate area. The weather calendar will be applied to all activities, which may be affected by inclement weather.

4Section 01310- CPM Schedules

6. Failure to include in the CPM schedule any element of the Work required under the performance of this Contract will not excuse Contractor from completing all the Work required within the applicable completion time, notwithstanding Government’s network review.

7. A CPM schedule with shows a completion of any portion of the Work prior to the Contractual completion date may be accepted but in no event will be acceptable as a basis for a claim for delay against Government by Contractor.

The period time between the Contractor’s baselines accepted CPM schedule’s projected completion dates and the contractual stipulated completion, of any, will be treated as Project Float.

B. Schedule of Values:

1. Each activity on the construction schedule will be assigned a dollar value. Each activity’s assigned cost will consist of labor, equipment, and materials costs, and a pro rata contribution of overhead and profit. The sum of activities costs will be equal to the Total Contract Price. In submitting cost data, each activity represents Contractor’s estimate of the actual costs of performing that activity.

2. The accepted schedule of values will represent a fair, reasonable and equitable dollar cost allocated for each activity on Contractor’s construction schedule.

3. If it is determined that the cost data does not meet the requirements for a balanced bid breakdown in the opinion of ESD, Contractor will present documentation substantiating the cost allocation. Cost allocations will be considered unbalanced if activity on the construction schedule has been assigned a disproportionate allocation of direct costs, overhead and profit.

PART 3 – SCHEDULE SUBMITTALS

A. CPM Schedule Implementation:

1. Within ten (10) calendar days after the Notice to Proceed, Contractor will submit six (6) prints of his proposed CPM network diagram and tabular reports for the first ninety (90) calendar days of the Work. This initial logic diagram will be drawn as described herein and submitted on sheets 24 inches by 36 inches and will include both procurement and construction activities. The schedule will be the subject of the schedule review meeting with the Contractor, Government, Government’s representatives, within two (2) weeks of its submission. Contractor will revise and resubmit the ninety (90) day schedule until it is acceptable.

2. Within thirty (30) days after Notice to Proceed, Contractor will submit six (6) prints of his proposed CPM network diagram and tabular reports for the entire Contract duration and will include both procurement and construction activities.

These tabular reports will be sorted by total float and activity number. They will also contain a predecessor/successor resource loading report, and project calendar. This logic diagram will be drawn as described herein and will be the subject of a schedule review meeting with Contractor, Government, and Government’s representatives with two (2) weeks of its submission.

5Section 01310- CPM Schedules

3. In lieu of submitting network diagrams and report, Contractor may submit

Primavera schedules on discs.

4. If a review of the submitting network diagrams a work plan which will not complete the Work within the time requirements stated in the Contract, it will be the responsibility of Contractor to revise the CPM schedule as required and resubmit it until it is acceptable.

5. Acceptance of the schedule will not constitute a representation by Government that the Work can be completed as shown on the schedule.

B. Submittals:

1. In addition to the above scheduling requirements, Contractor will be required to submit a complete and detailed listing of anticipated submittals during the course of the Contract. Contractor will coordinate his submittals with those of his subcontractors and suppliers and will identify each submittal as specified.

The anticipated submission due date for each submittal must be indicated along with the data on which its return is anticipated. For planning purposes, shop drawings submittals will usually be returned twenty (20) working days after receipt. However, longer durations for review will not be considered a basis for a claim unless the Project critical path is delayed thereby. Durations shown for review will be understood to share available float. Submissions, the review of which is on the critical path, shall be clearly marked in red with words “Critical Path” by Contractor at the time of submission.

2. The Submittal Schedule must be submitted within twenty (20) working days from the Notice to Proceed. The Submittal Schedule will then be accepted or revised as required and Contractor will incorporate the dates and review durations into his CPM Schedule.

C. Schedule Updates:

1. A monthly Schedule Update Meeting will be held one (1) week prior to the progress meeting, at the Project site, to review and update the CPM Schedule.

The Schedule Update Meeting will be attended by ESD Representatives, and Contractor. Actual progress of the previous month will be recorded and scheduling of future work activities will be reviewed. The duration of activities and their logical connections may be revisited as needed. Decisions made at these meetings and agreed to by all parties are binding with the exception that no contractual completion dates or contractual requirements will be modified.

Contractor must provide the following information for each update at a minimum:

a. Actual start and finish dates for all activities.

b. Actual restart dates for all started but incomplete activities and estimated remaining durations.

2. Provide a Monthly Progress Status Report, which provides a narrative explanation of progress identified in the revised construction schedule. The report will indicate the following items:

6Section 01310- CPM Schedules

a. Summarize revisions made to the Construction Schedule since the previous submittal.

b. Work completed during the reporting period.

c. Work anticipated to be started and continued during the next period, including those activities already in progress.

d. Problem areas, anticipated delays, and their impact on the schedule.

e. Corrective action recommended, and its effect.

f. The effect of changes on schedules of other Prime Contractors, if applicable.

g. Updated Tabulation of Contract Time.

h. An evaluation of the overall status of the schedule for the Project.

a. Upon completion of the re-inspection, the ESD Inspector will prepare a notification of final acceptance. If the Work is completed, the Inspector will advise the Contractor of Work that is incomplete or of obligations that have not been fulfilled but are required for final acceptance.

b. The ESD Inspector will repeat the inspection when requested. The Contractor is advised that excessive re-inspections are not acceptable.

D. Record Document Submittals:

1. General: Do not use record documents for construction purposes. Protect record documents from deterioration and loss. Store in a secure, fire-resistant location.

Provide access to record documents for the ESD Inspector and PM’s reference during normal working hours.

2. Record Drawings: Maintain a clean, undamaged set of blue or black line whiteprints of Contract Drawings and Shop Drawings. Mark the set to show the actual installation where the installation varies substantially from the Work as originally shown. Mark drawing that is most capable of showing conditions fully and accurately. Where Shop Drawings are used, record a cross-reference at the corresponding location on the Contract Drawings. Give particular attention to concealed elements that would be difficult to measure and record at a later date.

a. Mark record sets with red erasable pencil. Use other colors to distinguish between variations in separate categories of the Work.
