SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDSMENT 0004

H06 CONSTRUCTION PLAN

After receipt of the Notice to Proceed with Phase 0001AA, the Contractor shall develop and submit to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) the Contractor’s proposed plan for the design, construction, testing, and delivery of the MCHD.

The proposed plan shall consist of a Master, Design, Production, Outfitting, Outsourcing, Integration, Risk Management, and Earned Value Management plan to the extent to which it shall result in the design and production of a high quality MCHD. The Government will evaluate the maturity and comprehensiveness of the plans including areas like engineering, material purchasing, production, resource allocation, and testing. The Government will review the planned approaches to assess the extent to which completion of the proposed effort can be accomplished within the four phases of this contract.

Master Plan: At a minimum, the Master Plan shall contain an executive summary, comprehensive overview of the project strategy across all supporting plans, a shipyard facility overview, and an overview of the MCHD production flow model in conjunction with site layout. The plan shall include completion dates of key milestones in the shipbuilding project, such as keel laying, launching, and delivery.

Design & Engineering Plan: At a minimum, this plan shall contain an all-inclusive summary of engineering management, design change management, design quality control, and supporting data for the critical path Integrated Master Schedule of the planned approach, addressing the different vessel design stages and planned reviews with the Government. Design areas to address include:

• Concept

• Functional Design

• Detailed Design

• ABS Review

Production Plan: At a minimum, the production plan shall contain a comprehensive overview of production management, production change management, quality control, resourcing, and supporting data for the critical path Integrated Master Schedule of the planned approach addressing the various production areas of the hull and superstructure. For example, items to highlight may include:

• Panel Construction

• Section Assembly

• Block Building

• Erection

• Launching

Outfitting Plan: The outfitting plan shall contain a detailed summary of outfitting management, outfitting change management, quality control, resources, and supporting data for the critical path Integrated Master Schedule of the planned approach addressing the various outfitting areas of the vessel. For example, items to address may include:

• Pre-outfitting

• Painting

• Slipway Outfitting

• Quay Outfitting

Outsourcing Plan: The outsourcing plan shall contain a comprehensive overview and planned approach to outsourcing from the shipyard to subcontractors. Outsourcing should be addressed in the critical path Integrated Master Schedule. For example, the plan may address items like:

• Total outsourcing

• Peak outsourcing

• Long lead time items

Integration Plan: The Integration plan shall contain a comprehensive overview and planned approach to integration from the shipyard to subcontracted and internal integration teams. The integration plan shall be included in the critical path Integrated Master Schedule. The plan shall address areas like:

• Automation

• Dredging System & Components

• Electrical System

Risk Management Plan: The Contractor shall establish and execute a Risk Management Plan describing the Contractor’s management strategy and processes for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating program risks and opportunities. The Contractor shall develop and maintain a Risk Database that documents each risk, the assessment results, recommended risk severity, the risk mitigation plans, and the progress against the mitigation plans.

Milestones associated with approved risk mitigation plans shall be reflected in the Integrated Master Schedule. The Contractor shall integrate risk management efforts and elements into new or revised design deliverables, including referencing and addressing project moderate and high risks, including associated mitigation actions, into contract deliverables.

Earned Value Management System: In the performance of this contract the Contractor shall establish, maintain, and use an integrated performance management system. Central to this integrated system, the contractor shall use an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) that uses an approach generally consistent with the intent of Electronic Industries Alliance document EIA-748 Earned Value Management Systems. This specification is structured to define the goals and objectives of the EVMS approach to address cost and schedule performance, while attempting to maximize contractor flexibility to develop their own approach to best match their internal business processes. As a result, this specification shall focus on the outputs from the Contractor’s EVMS system that the Government requires to surveil, monitor, and react to contractor performance.

The goal and objective of the Government is to ensure that adequate tools are in place to allow both the contractor and the Government to monitor progress, foresee any issues that are arising early on, and to provide meaningful reporting that allows all stakeholders to assess project status.

The EVMS shall be coordinated with the scheduling requirement in this contract so that all scheduled activities and all contractor costs are included in the EVMS. A baseline submittal shall be prepared and submitted.

The Contractor shall provide output reports from their EVMS system monthly. Submittals shall be coordinated with payment requests so that EVMS results can be reflected in progress payments.

Monthly Outputs:

EVMS monthly reporting shall include the following:

o An overview narrative discussing progress since the previous reporting period o A discussion of the critical path and progress on all critical path activities, including risks/concerns o A tabular status-ing of all activities

A plotted S curve showing:

The baseline Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP) or (EV) Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS)

Budget at Completion (BAC) Estimate at Completion (EAC)

Calculated Variances:

Cost Variance (CV) - BCWP-ACWP Schedule Variance (SV) – BCWP-BCWS Cost Variance percent - (BCWP—ACWP)/BCWP Schedule Variance percent – (BCWP-BCWS)/ Variance at Completion BAC-EAC BCWS

Performance Indices:

Cost Performance Index (CPI) – BCWP/ACWP Schedule Performance Index (SPI) – BCWP/BCWS

Overall Status:

Percent Scheduled – BCWScum /BAC Percent complete - BCWPcum/BAC Percent budget spent – ACWPcum/BAC Work Remaining (WR) - BAC-BCWPcum

Assessing Progress:

Activities with a firm milestone at the end may be progressed up to 100% Activities that do not have a firm milestone at end shall be limited to 95% Significant subcontractors and suppliers or ones on the critical path shall be contacted at least weekly

Initial Discussions: The contractor shall schedule a meeting at their facility within 60 days after award of contract.

The purpose of this meeting shall be for Contractor and Government representatives to discuss the Contractor’s proposed approach to this EVMS requirement so that when the EVMS process is implemented both the Contractor’s and the Government’s needs shall be met. It is not intended for the Contractor to produce their EVMS system at that time.

MASTER SCHEDULE DETAILED REQUIREMENTS:

The Master Schedule shall be prepared as a critical path Master schedule using Primavera. This contract shall use a total of four types of Master schedules: 1) Preliminary, 2) Initial, 3) Baseline, & 4) Updates

Qualifications: Designate an authorized representative to be responsible for the preparation of the schedule and all required updating and production of reports. The authorized representative must have a minimum of 2 years’ experience scheduling vessel construction projects similar in size and nature to this project with scheduling software that meets the requirements of this specification. Representative must have a comprehensive knowledge of critical path method (CPM) scheduling principles and application.

General requirements: Prepare, for approval, a Project Schedule as specified herein. Show in the schedule the sequence in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work and dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing all schedule activities. The scheduling of the entire project, including the design and construction sequences, is required. The scheduling of construction is 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. The schedule must be a forward planning, as well as, a project monitoring tool. Ensure the schedule captures ABS reviews, testing, and inspections during all phases of the contract.

Critical Path Method: Use the Critical Path Method (CPM) of network calculation to generate the Project Schedule.

Activity Durations: The time estimate of the duration of the activities shall be logical and consistent with the Contract Documents and shall be based on realistic and available resources (manpower, materials, tools, and equipment, etc.), of the Contractor. The unit time for measuring the duration of activities is the "Day." Reasonable activity durations are those that allow the progress of ongoing activities to be accurately determined between update periods.

Procurement Activities: The schedule must include activities associated with the submittal, approval, procurement, fabrication and delivery of long lead materials, equipment, fabricated assemblies, and supplies. Long lead procurement activities are those with an anticipated procurement sequence of over ninety calendar days. A typical procurement sequence includes the string of activities: submit, approve, procure, fabricate, and deliver.

Contract Changes/Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REA) Coding: Assign Activity code to any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule because of a Contract Modification, when approved by the Contracting Officer, with a Contract Changes/REA Code. Key all Code values to the Government's modification numbering system (i.e. P0001, P0002, etc.). Any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule because of alleged constructive changes made by the Government may be added to a copy of the current schedule, subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer. Assign Activity codes for these activities with a Contract Changes/REA Code (i.e. REA0001, REA0002). Approval to add these activities does not necessarily mean the Government accepts responsibility and therefore liability for such activities and any associated impacts to the schedule, but rather the Government recognizes such activities are appropriately added to the schedule for the purposes of maintaining a realistic and meaningful schedule. Such activities shall not be Responsibility Coded to the Government unless approved. An activity shall not have more than one Contract Changes/REA Code.

Schedule Constraints and Open-Ended Logic: Constrain completion of the last activity in the schedule by the contract completion date. Schedule calculations shall result in a negative float when the calculated early finish date of the last activity is later than the contract completion date. Include as the last activity in the project schedule an activity called "End Project". The "End Project" activity shall have a "LF" constraint date equal to the contract completion date for the project, and with a zero-day duration or by using the "project must finish by" date in the scheduling software. The schedule shall have no constrained dates other than those specified in the contract. The use of artificial float constraints such as "zero free float" or "zero total float" are prohibited. There shall only be two open ended activities: Start Project (or NTP) with no predecessor logic and End Project with no successor logic.

Under this contract the project owns the float. Float of the master schedule gets used on a first come first served basis as issues arise.

Out-of-Sequence Progress: Activities that have progressed before all preceding logic has been satisfied (Out-of- Sequence Progress) shall be allowed only on a case-by-case basis. Propose logic corrections to eliminate all out of sequence progress or justify not changing the sequencing for approval prior to submitting an updated project schedule. Correct out of sequence progress that continues for more than two update cycles by logic revision, as approved by the Contracting Officer.

Integrated Master Schedule submissions: Provide the submissions as described below.

Preliminary Integrated Master Schedule Submission:

• Due within 30 calendar days of phase one NTP

• Contains detail for phases I and II of the contract

• Contains summary activities for the remaining phases.

Periodic Schedule Update Meetings: Conduct periodic schedule update meetings for the purposes of reviewing the Contractor's proposed out of sequence corrections, determining causes for delay, correcting logic, maintaining schedule accuracy, and determining earned value. Meetings shall occur at least monthly within five calendar days of the proposed schedule data date and after the Contractor has updated the schedule with Government concurrence respecting actual start dates, actual finish dates, remaining durations and percent complete for each activity it intend to status. The meeting shall be a working interactive exchange which shall allow the Government and the Contractor the opportunity to review the updated schedule on a real time and interactive basis. The Contractor's Project Manager and/or the Authorized Scheduler shall attend the meeting.

Requests for Time Extensions: In the event the Contractor believes 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: written 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 by the Government.

In response to each Request for Proposal issued by the Government, the Contractor shall submit a schedule impact analysis demonstrating whether or not the change contemplated by the Government impacts the critical path.

Justification of Delay: The project schedule shall clearly display that the Contractor has used, in full, all the float time available for the work involved with this request. The Contracting Officer's determination as to the number of allowable days of contract extension shall be based upon the project schedule updates in effect for the time period in question, and other factual information. Actual delays that are found to be caused by the Contractor's own actions, which result in a calculated schedule delay, shall not be a cause for an extension to the performance period, completion date, or any interim milestone date.

Payment: No separate payment shall be made for work under this section and all costs shall be included in the overall contract price.
