The work involved in making corrections due to common deficiencies becomes lost effort and time for both the designer and the reviewer. Contractor and Designer shall carefully compare the design and contract documents with all requirements at several points in the design process to avoid unnecessary changes at a later date. Some of the requirements which are most often overlooked include:

a. Requirements of required design publications, such as the Border Patrol design guides or the CESWD-01, Southwestern Division's ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL (SWD-AEIM), have been repeatedly overlooked in the past.

b. Not using correct abbreviations or terminology on the drawings.

Abbreviations must match what is used on the standard abbreviation sheet and terminology must match what is used in the standard technical guide specifications.

c. Not using the correct scales, north arrow designation, section cut system, or incomplete dimensioning on the drawings. Failure to orient

01 01 00.00 44 Page 6 the North arrow in the same direction on all sheets (civil, site, arch).

d. Failure to use the latest edition (at time of task order start) of applicable criteria unless a specific edition is specified.

e. Not providing sufficient space for door operation hardware at doors which swing into a wall running perpendicular to the opening. 4 inches (100 mm) minimum is required between edge of door frame and perpendicular walls. Proper mechanical and electrical clearances to meet building codes.

f. Not providing correct and complete Design Analysis information written in the present tense. The Design Analysis will be written following the format indicated herein. A separate Fire Protection section in the Design Analysis with input from all disciplines is one area which is often overlooked and shall be included.

g. Not correctly presenting or coordinating (to avoid interference) features of Fire Protection, Noise Control, Mechanical Systems, and Physical Security.

h. Not correctly referencing and cross referencing building sections, wall sections, details, etc.

i. Not sufficiently providing enough architectural details to show how building envelope requirements will meet the testing criteria to include provision of supporting calculations.

j. Failure to read and use technical notes in editing technical guide specifications.

k. Failure to coordinate all disciplines prior to review submittals.

l. Improper use of fire-retardant wood. Fire-retardant wood is combustible; its use in buildings that are of noncombustible construction is extremely limited (see ICBO Bldg Code,or ICC Bldg Code for the minor allowable uses). Because of the potential for severe degradation, fire retardant plywood shall not be used in a roof or roofing system or in structural applications.

m. Not listing the ANSI/BHMA numbers in addition to trade names in door hardware specifications and failure to correctly specify hardware finishes.

n. Not showing control joints in CMU walls or brick expansion joints in face brick on both architectural plans, elevations and structural plans, or the joints are inconsistent. Also, locate and coordinate control joints for floor tile in accordance with the Tile Council of America recommendations.

o. For LEED projects, not properly defining in the specifications the design and construction deliverables required to meet USGBC requirements or to allow the Quality Control Manager in the field to understand what LEED requirements must be met and how.

PART 2 PRODUCTS (NOT APPLICABLE)

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Prepare for approval a Bar Chart Schedule, or Project Schedule, as specified herein, pursuant to the Contract Clause, SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. 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, design and construction is the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor management personnel shall actively participate in its development.

Subcontractors and suppliers, Designers, Subcontractors and suppliers working on the project shall 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. Dates based on calendar days, not working days.

3.2 Approved Project Schedule (Bar Chart)

Use the approved Project Bar Chart Schedule to measure the progress of the work and to aid in evaluating time extensions. The Bar Chart will provide the basis for all progress payments. If the Contractor fails to submit any Bar Chart Schedules within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required Bar Chart Schedule.

3.3 Schedule Status Reports

Provide a Bar Chart Schedule Report on at least a monthly basis. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved schedule, the Contractor shall 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. Once the schedule (either Design/Preliminary, Initial or Updated) is approved, changing original durations of activities shall not be done.

3.4 Default Terms

Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer shall 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

01 32 01.00 12 Page 3 separable part of it, in accordance with the default terms of the contract.

3.5 BASIS FOR PAYMENT AND COST LOADING

Use the schedule as the basis for determining contract earnings during each update period and therefore the amount of each progress payment.

Lack of an approved monthly 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 of the Contractor to provide all required information will result in the disapproval of the Initial and subsequent schedule updates. In the event schedule revisions are directed by the Contracting Officer and those revisions have not been included in subsequent revisions or updates, the Contracting Officer may hold retainage up to the maximum allowed by contract, each payment period, until such revisions to the Bar Chart Schedule have been made.

3.6 Out-of-Sequence Progress

Activities that have progressed before all preceding logic has been satisfied (Out-of-Sequence Progress) shall be corrected before Pay Application is sent to Government. Out-of-Sequence Progress will be allowed only on a case-by-case basis subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. 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.

3.7 Narrative Report for Progress Payments

Provide a Narrative Report as the basis of the progress payment request.

The Narrative Report shall include: Statement declaring who is the Designated Authorized Representative for Schedule, a description of activities along the 2 most critical paths where the total float is less than or equal to 20 work days, a description of current and anticipated problem areas or delaying factors and their impact, and an explanation of corrective actions taken or required to be taken. The narrative report is expected to communicate to the Government, the Contractor's thorough analysis of the schedule output and its plans to compensate for any problems, either current or potential, which are revealed through that analysis. Identify and explain why any activities that, based their calculated late dates, should have either started or finished during the update period but did not.

3.8 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: 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.

01 32 01.00 12 Page 4

3.9 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, will not be a cause for an extension to the performance period, completion date, or any interim milestone date.

3.10 Bar Chart Schedule Method

Provide submittal for a cost-loaded network diagram (GNATT/bar chart) for approval. Bar Chart shall be in sequential order from NTP to Close Out Documents Complete. Contractor shall provide a second Bar Chart or Report showing breakdown of each activity assigned to a CLIN (BIDI) code with grand totals for each CLIN (BIDI), along with assigned cost for each activity, even if amount is zero ($.00).

3.12 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR WEATHER

3.12.1 Reference: FAR 52.249-10

3.12.2 Definitions:

3.12.2.1 “Adverse weather” – atmospheric conditions at a definite time and place that are unfavorable to construction activities.

3.12.2.2 “Unusually severe weather” – weather that is more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the season or location involved.

3.12.3 Provision:

This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the contract clause entitled “Default: (Fixed Price Construction)”. 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 of negligence of the contractor.

01 32 01.00 12 Page 8

c. Upon acknowledgement 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.

d. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated as defined in the contract, the contracting officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather days, and issue a modification in accordance with the contract clause entitled “Default (Fixed Price Construction)”.

3.8.4 Analysis of Actual Adverse Weather During Construction

a. The contractor shall document the occurrence and effect of adverse weather on the work.

b. The schedule of anticipated adverse weather delays included in the contract is established in work days. Similarly, actual weather data should be collected and recorded on a work day basis. Monthly summaries shall be maintained by the contractor indicating actual adverse weather conditions and the impact on work activities. These impacts shall be discussed with the government at the monthly meeting after the adverse weather condition took place.

c. To determine if any particular month experience unusually severe weather, the number of actual adverse delay days is compared to that given in the contract table in the special clause. If the number of actual delay days is greater than that in the contract the contractor has experienced unusually severe weather.

d. THE DETERMINATION THAT UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER OCCURRED DOES NOT

AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT THE CONTRACTOR RECEIVES A TIME EXTENSION FOR

THE DIFFERENCE OF DAYS BETWEEN THE ANTICIPATED AND ACTUAL ADVERSE

WEATHER DELAY DAYS. Further analysis is necessary to determine if the unusually severe weather delayed work activities critical to contract completion. The contractor’s progress schedule must be evaluated to make this determination. If it is found that unusually severe weather delayed the contact, a contract modification shall be issued pursuant to FAR 52.249-10.

e. Any necessary modifications will be issued not less than quarterly.

However, the contactor will be notified on a monthly basis of the government’s determination and be instructed to incorporate the expected time extension, if any, in their monthly progress schedule update. It is equally important for the government to notify the contractor of negative determinations on a monthly basis so that the government’s intentions are clearly understood.

PART 2 PRODUCTS (NOT APPLICABLE)

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Prepare for approval a Project Schedule, as specified herein, pursuant to the Contract Clause, SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. 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 design and construction is the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor management personnel shall actively participate in the development.

Subcontractors and suppliers, Designers, Subcontractors and suppliers working on the project shall 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.

3.1.1 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.

3.1.2 Schedule Status Reports

Provide a Schedule Status Report on at least a monthly basis. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved schedule, the Contractor shall 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.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 3

3.1.3 Default Terms

Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer shall 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

Use the schedule as 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 of the Contractor to provide all required information will result in the disapproval of the Design/Preliminary, Initial, Periodic, or Recovery schedule updates. In the event schedule revisions are directed by the Contracting Officer and those revisions have not been included in subsequent revisions or updates, the Contracting Officer may hold retainage up to the maximum allowed by contract, each payment period, until such revisions to the Project Schedule have been made. Activity cost loading shall be reasonable, as determined by the Contracting Officer. Contractor shall meet with COE prior to submission of Design/Preliminary and Initial schedules to evaluate the cost loading and resolve any differences before the schedule is submitted (via 4025).

Construction related submittals shall be treated as being subsidiary to the corresponding physical work items. The aggregate value of all activities coded to a contract CLIN shall equal the value of the CLIN on the Schedule.

3.3 PROJECT SCHEDULE DETAILED REQUIREMENTS

The computer software system utilized to produce and update the Project Schedule shall be capable of meeting all requirements of this specification.

The Contractor shall utilize the most current version and/or update for the schedule software at no additional cost to the Government. If Contractor refuses to update software to most current version and/or update, then Contractor shall provide to Government a sealed, dedicated licensed version of the software they are using, at no additional cost to Government.

Software shall meet requirements of Section 1.1 of these specifications.

Failure of the Contractor to meet the requirements of this specification will result in the disapproval of the schedule.

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 the Precedence Diagram Method (PDM) or GANTT as directed by ACO/COR.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 4

3.3.2 Level of Detail Required

Develop the Project Schedule to an appropriate level of detail. Failure to develop the Project Schedule to an appropriate level of detail, as determined by the Contracting Officer, will result in its disapproval. The Contracting Officer will consider, but is not limited to, the following characteristics and requirements to determine appropriate level of detail:

3.3.2.1 Activity Durations

Reasonable activity durations are those that allow the progress of ongoing activities to be accurately determined between update periods. Less than 2 percent of all non-procurement activities shall have Original Durations (OD) greater than 10 work days or 14 calendar days. Procurement activities are defined herein. Once the schedule (Design/Preliminary, Initial, or Recovery) is approved, no changes to original activity durations shall be made without prior approval of the Government.

3.3.2.2 Design and Permit Activities

Include design and permit activities with the necessary conferences and follow-up actions and design package submission dates. Include the design schedule in the project schedule, showing the sequence of events involved in carrying out the project design tasks within the specific contract period.

(MODF)

Assign Activity code to any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule as a result 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. Any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule as a result 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. Key the code values to the Contractor's numbering system. 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. Contract Changes/Requests for Equitable Adjustment Codes shall be imported through the SDEF conversion of the schedule into QCS/RMS. Manual inputting of. Contract Changes/Requests for Equitable Adjustment Codes into QCS/RMS is prohibited.
