MODIFICATION PROCEDURES 01035 - 2

a. When requested by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall submit proposals for changes in work to the contracting officer on a Proposed Change Order (PCO) Form, number sequentially by the contractor, with copy to the COR. Proposals, to be submitted as expeditiously as possible but within 30 calendar days after receipt of request, shall be in legible form, original and two copies, with an itemized breakdown that will include material, quantities, unit prices, labor costs (separated into trades), construction equipment, etc. (Labor costs are to be identified with specific material placed or operation performed.) The contractor must obtain and furnish with a proposal an itemized breakdown as described above, signed by each subcontractor participating in the change regardless of tier.

When certified cost or pricing data are required under FAR Subpart 15.403, the cost or pricing data shall be submitted in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. No itemized breakdown will be required for proposals amounting to less than $1,000.

b. When the necessity to proceed with a change does not allow sufficient time to negotiate a modification or because of failure to reach an agreement, the contracting officer may issue a change order instructing the contractor to proceed on the basis of a tentative price based on the best estimate available at the time, with the firm price to be determined later. Furthermore, when the change order is issued, the contractor shall submit a proposal, which includes the information required by paragraph (a)(1), for cost of changes in work within 30 calendar days.

c. The contracting officer will consider issuing a settlement by determination to the contract if the contractor's proposal required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this provision is not received within 30 calendar days or if agreement has not been reached.

d. Allowances not to exceed 10 percent each for overhead and profit for the party performing the work will be based on the value of labor, material, and use of construction equipment required to accomplish the change. As the value of the change increases, a declining scale will be used in negotiating the percentage of overhead and profit. Allowable percentages on changes will not exceed the following: 10 percent overhead and 10 percent profit on the first $20,000; 7-1/2 percent overhead and 7-1/2 percent profit on the next $30,000; 6percent overhead and 6 percent profit on balance over $50,000. Profit shall be computed by multiplying the profit percentage by the sum of the direct costs and computed overhead costs.

e. The prime contractor's or upper-tier subcontractor's fee on work performed by lower-tier subcontractors will be based on the net increased cost to the prime contractor or upper-tier subcontractor, as applicable. Allowable fee on changes will not exceed the following: 10 percent fee on the first $20,000; 7-1/2 percent fee on the next $30,000; and 6 percent fee on balance over $50,000.

f. Not more than four percentages, none of which exceed the percentages shown above, will be allowed regardless of the number of tiers of subcontractors.

g. Where the contractor's or subcontractor's portion of a change involves credit terms, such items must be deducted prior to adding overhead and profit for the party performing the work. The contractor's fee is limited to the net increase to contractor of subcontractors' portions cost computed in accordance herewith.

h. Where a change involves credit items only, a proper measure of the amount of downward adjustment in the contract price is the reasonable cost to the contractor if he/she had performed the deleted work. A reasonable allowance for overhead and profit are properly includable as part of the downward adjustment for a deductive change. The amount of such allowance is subject to negotiation.

i. Cost of Federal Old Age Benefit (Social Security) tax and of Worker's Compensation and Public Liability insurance appertaining to changes are allowable. While no percentage will be allowed thereon for overhead or profit, prime contractor's fee will be allowed on such items in subcontractor's proposals.

j. Overhead and contractor's fee percentages shall be considered to include insurance other than mentioned herein, field and office supervisors and assistants, MODIFICATION PROCEDURES 01035 - 3 security police, use of small tools, incidental job burdens, and general home office expenses and no separate allowance will be made therefore. Assistants to office supervisors include all clerical, stenographic and general office help. Incidental job burdens include, but are not necessarily limited to, office equipment and supplies, temporary toilets, telephone and conformance to OSHA requirements.

Items such as, but not necessarily limited to, review and coordination, estimating and expediting relative to contract changes are associated with field and office supervision and are considered to be included in the contractor's overhead and/or fee percentage.

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SCHEDULING REQUIREMENTS

A. The schedule will be reviewed by the CO and the A/E and will be subsequently approved by the CO (if the schedule meets contract requirements). Within 5 days after commencement of work, the Contractor will submit a Critical Path Method (CPM) Construction Schedule for the scope of work contained in the Contract. The purpose of the Construction Schedule shall be to:

1. Assure adequate planning, scheduling and reporting during execution of the construction and related activities so they may be prosecuted in an orderly and expeditious manner, within the Contract Time and the Milestones stipulated by the Contract.

2. Assure coordination of the work of the Contractor and the various subcontractors and suppliers at all tiers.

3. Assist in the preparation and evaluation of the Contractor’s monthly progress payments.

4. Assist in monitoring the progress of the work and evaluating proposed changes to the

Contract and the Construction Schedule.

5. Assist in detecting problems for the purpose of taking corrective action and to provide a mechanism or tool for determining and monitoring such corrective actions.

B. The Work shall be prosecuted at such rate as will insure meeting the specified milestone dates within the Contract Time. By execution of the Contract, the Contractor represents he has ana-lyzed the work, the materials and methods involved, the systems of the building, availability of qualified labor, restrictions of the site, constraints imposed, their own workload and capacity to perform the work and agrees that the specified times are reasonable considering the existing conditions prevailing in the locality of the work, including weather conditions and other factors, with reasonable allowance for variations from average or ideal conditions.

C. The work under this Contract will be planned, scheduled, executed and reported using the Precedence Diagramming Technique of the Critical Path Method (hereinafter referred to as

CPM).

D. The Contractor shall employ the services of at least one person fully qualified and with a mini-mum of 2 years experience in critical path scheduling on projects of similar size and scope for the duration of the Contract.

E. Any and all milestones listed in these specifications, or elsewhere in the Contract Documents, represent only the major items of construction work. The milestone completion dates indicated are considered essential to the satisfactory performance of this Contract and to the coordination of all work on the project. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to prosecute the work in accordance with the specified milestone dates.

F. The Contractor shall use Primavera/Suretrac for Windows scheduling software (latest version), or other approved software, on this project.

PROJECT SCHEDULE 01320 - 2

1.02 DETAILED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

A. Within ten (10) calendar days following commencement of work, Contractor shall submit to the Government a detailed Construction Schedule in precedence format for the Contractor’s con-struction work scope.

B. The Detailed Construction Schedule shall conform with the requirements outlined in the “Tech-nical Requirements for Contractor-Submitted Schedules” in this specification section.

C. The Construction Schedule shall be reviewed in the following manner.

1. Within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt by the Government of the Detailed Con-struction Schedule, the Government shall notify the Contractor of any concerns the Gov-ernment may have in regard to the Detailed Construction Schedule.

2. If the Government questions the Contractor’s proposed activities, logic, durations, man-power, or cost loading, the Contractor shall, within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Government’s request, provide a satisfactory revision to, or adequate justification for, these activities, logic, durations, manpower, or cost loading to the satisfaction of the Government.

3. In the event the Contractor fails to define any element of work, activity or logic and the Government review does not detect this omission or error, such omission or error, when discovered by the Contractor or Government, shall be corrected by the Contractor at the next monthly Schedule Update (discussed hereinafter) and shall not affect the Contract Time.

4. Acceptance of Contractor’s Construction Schedule

a. Upon the acceptance of the changes to the Construction Schedule by the Gov-ernment, the Contractor and Government shall sign on the face of the Construction Schedule CPM Network, which shall then indicate the acceptance of the Construc-tion Schedule.

5. Upon acceptance, the construction schedule shall be utilized as a BASELINE SCHEDULE for evaluation of all work yet to be performed.

6. No accepted activity shall be deleted from the construction schedule. In the event that an activity is no longer appropriate to the plan, either by change order or otherwise, it shall be in a “zero duration status” as of the date such determination is made and offsetting cost adjustment made as required to balance within the activity’s cost account. The schedule, once accepted, cannot be changed/altered unless a modification to the con-tract has been issued (by the Contracting Officer) extending contract completions. A “Look Ahead Schedule” shall be submitted and can be changed based upon actual condi-tions. The “Look Ahead Schedule” shall look one week behind and three weeks ahead and shall be updated each week for use in weekly coordination meetings.

7. Redistribution of costs between contract bid line items shall not be allowed.

a. Acceptance by the Government of the Contractor’s Construction Schedule will be required prior to making of any progress payments under the Contract after the first sixty (60) calendar days of the Contract.

b. Upon acceptance of the Construction Schedule by the Government, the cost-loaded values of the Construction Schedule will be used as a basis for determining progress payments based on work completed to date. Monthly progress payments shall be based upon information developed at the monthly Schedule Update. The computer-produced Cost Report will be structured to directly roll up to the ac-cepted billing summary and utilized by the Government for verification of the Appli-cation for Payment submitted by the Contractor. The COR and the Contractor shall visually inspect the work and material delivered on the site (and off site) each

PROJECT SCHEDULE 01320 - 3

month to determine progress on each task. The Contractor shall update the schedule based upon this monthly assessment. This information may be used for partial or progress payments at the discretion of the COR.

c. Acceptance by the Government of the Contractor’s Construction Schedule does not relieve the Contractor of any of Contractor’s responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy or feasibility of the Construction Schedule, or of the Contractor’s ability to meet the Contract completion date or milestone dates, nor does such acceptance acknowledge or admit the reasonableness of the activities, logic, durations, man-power, or cost loading of the Contractor’s Construction Schedule.

1.03 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTOR – SUBMITTED SCHEDULES

A. The Contractor will consider the following guidelines in the development of the Construction schedule:

B. The Schedule shall be developed utilizing the Precedence Diagramming Method.
