PART 2 PRODUCTS (Not Used)

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Prepare for approval a Project Schedule , as specified herein, pursuant to FAR Clause 52.236-15, SCHEDULE 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, including the construction sequences, 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 forward planning and is a project monitoring tool.

3.1.1 Sequence of Work AM#1

This contract will be executed in accordance with criteria and general sequence specified herein. The sequence was developed, in part, to return the damaged areas of the Brays Bayou in Harris County, Texas to the pre-Hurricane Harvey conditions prior to the next hurricane event. The

SECTION 01 32 01.01 45 Page 3 project repair construction sequence priority is as follows:

1) Repairs at Zones 1 and 2

2) Repairs at Zones 3 and 4

3) Repairs at Zone 5

4) Repairs at Zone 6

5) Repairs at Zones 7 and 12

6) Repairs at Zone 8

7) Repairs at Zone 11

8) Repairs at Zone 9, 10, 13, and 14

3.1.2 Approved Project Schedule

The approved Project Schedule will be used to measure the progress of the work and to aid in evaluating time extensions. The Schedule must depict activity durations, be based on the percentage of physical completion, and provide the basis for progress payments. Use ENG Form 2454 or equivalent produced by a scheduling program to depict the Progress Schedule and ensure that the Schedule conforms with the requirements outlined in the FAR 52.236-15 SCHEDULES FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS.

Schedule will show anticipated earnings per Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) for each pay period, and total earnings per pay period. If the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required Schedule. Once approved, the Contractor may not change the schedule for any reason without permission from the Contracting Officer or the ACO.

3.1.3 Updated Progress Schedule

Provide an updated Progress Schedule on at least a monthly basis and submit this updated Schedule along with the monthly pay request. The Government may request the Contractor to provide the Government with an updated Schedule as a result of a change in order of work, activity sequences, or activity duration prior to the monthly pay request. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved Schedule, the Contractor must take steps necessary to improve its progress including those that may be required by the Contracting Officer, without additional cost to the Government and submit an updated Progress Schedule to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval supplementary Schedule or Schedules as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

3.1.4 Default Terms

Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contract will be grounds for a determination, by the Contracting Officer, that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure

SECTION 01 32 01.01 45 Page 4 completion within the time specified in this Contract. Upon making this determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work, or separable parts of it, in accordance with the default terms of the Contract.

3.2 BASIS FOR PAYMENT AND COST LOADING

The 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 of the Contractor to provide required information will result in the disapproval of the preliminary, initial, and subsequent Schedule updates. If 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 this Contract, each payment period, until revisions to the Project Schedule have been made. Activity cost loading shall be reasonable, as determined by the Contracting Officer.

3.3 PROJECT SCHEDULE DETAILED REQUIREMENTS

A computer software system utilized to produce and update the Project Schedule must be capable of meeting the requirements of this specification. Failure of the Contractor to meet the requirements of this specification will result in the disapproval of the Schedule.

f. Examination of required materials, equipment, and sample work to assure that they are on hand, conform to approved shop drawings or submitted data, and are properly stored.

g. Review of the appropriate activity hazard analysis to assure safety requirements are met.

h. Discussion of procedures for controlling quality of the work including repetitive deficiencies. Document construction tolerances and workmanship standards for that feature of work.

i. Check to ensure that the portion of the plan for the work to be performed has been accepted by the Contracting Officer.

j. Discussion of the initial control phase.

k. The Government needs to be notified at least 72 hours in advance of beginning the preparatory control phase. Include a meeting conducted

SECTION 01 45 01.00 Page 9 by the CQC System Manager and attended by the superintendent, other CQC personnel (as applicable), and the foreman responsible for the definable feature. Document the results of the preparatory phase actions by separate minutes prepared by the CQC System Manager and attach to the daily CQC report. Instruct applicable workers as to the acceptable level of workmanship required in order to meet contract specifications.

3.7.2 Initial Phase

This phase is accomplished at the beginning of a definable feature of work. Accomplish the following:

a. Check work to ensure that it is in full compliance with contract requirements. Review minutes of the preparatory meeting.

b. Verify adequacy of controls to ensure full contract compliance.

Verify required control inspection and testing are in compliance with the contract.

c. Establish level of workmanship and verify that it meets minimum acceptable workmanship standards. Compare with required sample panels as appropriate.

d. Resolve all differences.

e. Check safety to include compliance with and upgrading of the safety plan and activity hazard analysis. Review the activity analysis with each worker.

f. The Government needs to be notified at least 24 hours in advance of beginning the initial phase for definable feature of work. Prepare separate minutes of this phase by the CQC System Manager and attach to the daily CQC report. Indicate the exact location of initial phase for definable feature of work for future reference and comparison with follow-up phases.

g. The initial phase for definable feature of work should be repeated for each new crew to work onsite, or any time acceptable specified quality standards are not being met.

3.7.3 Follow-up Phase

Perform daily checks to assure control activities, including control testing, are providing continued compliance with Contract requirements, until completion of the particular feature of work. Record the checks in the CQC documentation. Conduct final follow-up checks and correct deficiencies prior to the start of additional features of work which may be affected by the deficient work. Do not build upon nor conceal non-conforming work.

3.7.4 Additional Preparatory and Initial Phases

Conduct additional preparatory and initial phases on the same definable features of work if: the quality of on-going work is unacceptable; if there are changes in the applicable CQC staff, onsite production supervision or work crew; if work on a definable feature is resumed after a substantial period of inactivity; or if other problems develop.

3.8 TESTS

3.8.1 Laboratory Validation Requirements

Propose the minimum number of laboratories that can attain or have attained U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) validation in accordance with ER 1110-1-261 Quality Assurance of Laboratory Testing Procedures and consistent with the testing requirements in this Contract. The Contractor may propose laboratories that will be subsequently validated by the USACE, or select currently validated USACE laboratories.

3.8.2 Laboratory Validation Procedures

If not currently validated, the laboratory will be validated by the Engineering Research and Development Center, Materials Testing Center (MTC) .

The MTC may be contacted at (601) 634-2142. The laboratory validation fee will be paid directly to the MTC by the Contractor. The validation process requires 45 days to complete for laboratories without significant deficiencies. Validation will be accomplished by one of the following processes:

(1) Inspection will be performed by the MTC in accordance with

ASTM E329.

(2) A laboratory may be validated by auditing if it has been inspected by the Concrete and Cement Reference Laboratory (CERL) or AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) within the past 2 years in accordance with ASTM E329. The audit is to be performed by the MTC. Inspection by the MTC may be required after auditing if one or more of the critical testing procedures required in this project specification were not included in the CCRL or AMRL inspection report or if there is a concern that the laboratory may not be able to provide the required services.

3.8.3 Coordination

Each specific test, exact delivery location, and dates will be coordinated with the Contracting Officer.

3.9 COMPLETION INSPECTION

3.9.1 Punch-out Inspection

Conduct an inspection of the work by the CQC System Manager near the end of the work, or any increment of the work established by a time stated in the SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, STANDARD Clause, "Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion Of Work", or by the specifications. Prepare and include in the CQC documentation a punch list of items which do not conform to the approved drawings and specifications, as required by Paragraph: DOCUMENTATION. Include within the list of deficiencies the estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected. Make a second inspection by the CQC System Manager or staff to ascertain that deficiencies have been corrected. Once this is accomplished, notify the Government that the facility is ready for the Government Pre-final inspection.

3.9.2 Pre-final Inspection

The Government will perform the pre-final inspection to verify that the

SECTION 01 45 01.00 Page 11 construction work is complete. A Government Pre-final Punch List may be developed as a result of this inspection. Ensure that all items on this list have been corrected before notifying the Government, so that a Final inspection with the customer can be scheduled. Correct any items noted on the Pre-final inspection in a timely manner. These inspections and any deficiency corrections required by this paragraph need to be accomplished within the time slated for completion of the entire work or a particular increment of the work if the project is divided into increments by separate completion dates.

3.9.3 Final Acceptance Inspection

The Contractor's Quality Control Inspection personnel, plus the superintendent or other primary management person, and the Contracting Officer's Representative is required to be in attendance at the final acceptance inspection. Additional Government personnel including, but not limited to, those from user groups and the Contracting Officer may also be in attendance. The final acceptance inspection will be formally scheduled by the Contracting Officer based upon results of the Pre-final inspection. Notify the Contracting Officer at least 14 days prior to the final acceptance inspection and include the Contractor's assurance that all specific items previously identified to the Contractor as being unacceptable, along with the remaining work performed under this Contract, will be complete and acceptable by the date scheduled for the final acceptance inspection. Failure of the Contractor to have the Contract work acceptably complete for this inspection will be cause for the Contracting Officer to bill the Contractor for the Government's additional inspection cost in accordance with the CONTRACT CLAUSE titled "Inspection Of Construction".
