SECTION 01320 – PROJECT SCHEDULE

PART 1 GENERAL

1. GENERAL REQUIREMENT

1.1. Pursuant to the Contract Clause, SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS, a Project schedule as described below shall be prepared. The scheduling of construction shall be 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 approved Project Schedule shall be used to measure the progress of the work, to aid in evaluating time extensions, and to provide the basis of all progress payments.

2. BASIS FOR PAYMENT

2.1. The schedule shall be the basis for measuring Contractor progress. Lack of an approved schedule or scheduling personnel will result in an inability of the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER to evaluate Contractor's progress for the purposes of payment. Failure of the Contractor to provide all information, as specified below, shall result in the disapproval of the entire Project Schedule submission and the inability of the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER to evaluate Contractor progress for payment purposes. In the case where Project Schedule revisions have been directed by the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER and those revisions have not been included in the Project

Schedule, the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER may hold retain age up to the maximum allowed by contract, each payment period, until revisions to the Project Schedule have been made.

3. PROJECT SCHEDULE

3.1. The computer software system utilized by the Contractor to produce the Project Schedule shall be capable of providing all requirements of this specification. Failure of the Contractor to meet the requirements of this specification shall result in the disapproval of the schedule. Manual methods used to produce any required information shall require approval by the PRNG CFMO

PROJECT ENGINEER.

3.2. Use The Critical Path Method - The Critical Path Method (CPM) of network calculation shall be used to generate the Project Schedule. The Contractor shall provide the Project Schedule in the

Precedence Diagram Method (PDM).

3.3. Level of Detail Required - The Project Schedule shall include an appropriate level of detail. Failure to develop or update the Project Schedule or provide data to the PRNG CFMO PROJECT

ENGINEER at the appropriate level of detail, as specified by the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER, shall result in the disapproval of the schedule. The PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER will use, but is not limited to, the following conditions to determine the appropriate level of detail to be used in the Project Schedule:

RESTORATION OF ELECTRICAL LINES AT FORT ALLEN

SECTION 01320 – PROJECT SCHEDULE

3.3.1. Activity Durations - Contractor submissions shall follow the direction of the PRNG CFMO

PROJECT ENGINEER regarding reasonable activity durations. Reasonable durations are those that allow the progress of activities to be accurately determined between payment periods

(usually less than 2 percent of all non-procurement activities' Original Durations are greater than 20 days).

3.3.2. Procurement Activities – task related to the procurement of long lead materials or equipment shall be included as separate activities in the project schedule. Long lead materials and equipment are those materials that have a procurement cycle of over 90 days.

Examples of procurement process activities include, but are not limited to: submittals, approvals, procurement, fabrication, and delivery.

3.3.3. Government Activities – Government and other agency activities that could impact progress shall be shown. These activities include, but are not limited to: approvals, inspections, utility tie-in, Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and Notice to Proceed (NTP) for phasing requirements.

3.3.4. Responsibility – All activities shall be identified in the project schedule by the party responsible to perform the work. Responsibility includes, but is not limited to, the subcontracting firm, contractor work force, or government agency performing a given task.

Activities shall not belong to more than one responsible party. The responsible party for each activity shall be identified by the Responsibility Code.

3.3.5. Work Areas – All activities shall be identified in the project schedule by the work area in which the activity occurs. Activities shall not be allowed to cover more than one work area.

The work area of each activity shall be identified by the Work Area Code.

3.3.6. Modification or Claim Number - Any activity that is added or changed by contract modification or used to justify claimed time shall be identified by a mod or claim code that changed the activity. Activities shall not belong to more than one modification or claim item.

The modification or claim number of each activity shall be identified by the Mod or Claim

Number. Whenever possible, changes shall be added to the schedule by adding new activities. Existing activities shall not normally be changed to reflect modifications.

3.3.7. Bid Item – All activities shall be identified in the project schedule by the Bid Item to which the activity belongs. An activity shall not contain work in more than one bid item. The bid item for each appropriate activity shall be identified by the Bid Item Code.

3.3.8. Phase of Work – All activities shall be identified in the project schedule by the phases of work in which the activity occurs. Activities shall not contain work in more than one phase of work. The project phase of each activity shall be by the unique Phase of Work Code.

3.3.9. Category of Work – All Activities shall be identified in the project schedule according to the category of work which best describes the activity. Category of work refers, but is not

SECTION 01320 – PROJECT SCHEDULE

limited, to the procurement chain of activities including such items as submittals, approvals, procurement, fabrication, delivery, installation, start-up, and testing. The category of work for each activity shall be identified by the Category of Work Code.

3.3.10. Feature of Work – All activities shall be identified in the project schedule according to the feature of work to which the activity belongs. Feature of work refers, but is not limited to, a work breakdown structure for the project. The feature of work for each activity shall be identified by the Feature of Work Code.

3.4. Scheduled Project Completion – The schedule interval shall extend from NTP to the contract completion date.

3.4.1. Project Start Date - The schedule shall start no earlier than the date on which the NTP was acknowledged. The Contractor shall include as the first activity in the project schedule an activity called "Start Project". The "Start Project" activity shall have an "ES" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.

3.4.2. Constraint of Last Activity - Completion of the last activity in the schedule shall be constrained by the contract completion date. Calculation on project updates shall be such that if the early finish of the last activity falls after the contract completion date, then the float calculation shall reflect a negative float on the critical path. The Contractor shall include as the last activity in the project schedule an activity called "End Project". The "End Project" activity shall have an "LF" constraint date equal to the completion date for the project, and a zero day duration.

3.4.3. Early Project Completion - In the event the project schedule shows completion of the project prior to the contract completion date, the Contractor shall identify those activities that have been accelerated and/or those activities that are scheduled in parallel to support the

Contractor's "early" completion. Contractor shall specifically address each of the activities noted in the narrative report at every project schedule update period to assist the PRNG

CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER in evaluating the Contractor's ability to actually complete prior to the contract period.

3.4.4. Interim Completion Dates - Contractually specified interim completion dates shall also be constrained to show negative float if the early finish date of the last activity in that phase falls after the interim completion date.

3.4.5. Starts Phase - The Contractor shall include as the first activity for a project phase an activity called "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The "Start Phase X" activity shall have an "ES" constraint date equal to the date on which the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.

3.4.6. End Phase - The Contractor shall include as the last activity in a project phase an activity called "End Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The "End Phase X" activity shall

RESTORATION OF ELECTRICAL LINES AT FORT

ALLEN FY18

SECTION 01320 – PROJECT SCHEDULE

have an "LF" constraint date equal to the completion date for the project, and a zero day duration.

3.4.7. Phase X - The Contractor shall include a hammock type activity for each project phase called

"Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The "Phase X" activity shall be logically tied to the earliest and latest activities in the phase.

3.5. Default Progress Data Disallowed – Actual Start and Finish dates shall not be automatically updated by default mechanisms that may be included in CPM scheduling software systems.

Actual Start and Finish dates on the CPM schedule shall match those dates provided from

Contractor Quality Control Reports. Failure of the Contractor to document the Actual Start and

Finish dates on the Daily Quality Control report for every in-progress or completed activity, and failure to ensure that the data contained on the Daily Quality Control reports is the sole basis for schedule updating shall result in the disapproval of the Contractor's schedule and the inability of the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER to evaluate Contractor progress for payment purposes.

Updating of the percent complete and the remaining duration of any activity shall be independent functions. Program features which calculate one of these parameters from the other shall be disabled.

3.6. Out-of-Sequence Progress - Activities that have posted progress without all preceding logic being satisfied (Out-of-Sequence Progress) will be allowed only on a case-by-case approval of the PRNG

CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER. The Contractor shall 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. Negative Lags - Lag durations contained in the project schedule shall not have a negative value.

4. PROJECT SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS - The Contractor shall provide the submissions as described below.

The data disk, reports, and network diagrams required for each submission are contained in paragraph

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

4.1. Preliminary Project Schedule Submission - The Preliminary Project Schedule, defining the

Contractor's planned operations for the first [60] calendar days shall be submitted for approval within [20] calendar days after the NTP is acknowledged. The approved preliminary schedule shall be used for payment purposes not to exceed [60] calendar days after NTP.

FY17

SECTION 01320 – PROJECT SCHEDULE

provisions of the contract: justification, project schedule data, and supporting evidence as the PRNG

CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER may deem necessary. Submission of proof of delay, based on revised activity logic, duration, and costs (updated to the specific date that the delay occurred) is obligatory to any approvals.

7.1. 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 PRNG CFMO PROJECT

ENGINEER'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 the extension of the schedule, will not be a cause for a time extension to the contract completion date.

7.2. Submission Requirements - The Contractor shall submit a justification for each request for a change in the contract completion date of less than 2 weeks based upon the most recent schedule update at the time of the NTP or constructive direction issued for the change. Such a request shall be in accordance with the requirements of other appropriate Contract Clauses and shall include, as a minimum:

7.2.1. A list of affected activities, with their associated project schedule activity number.

7.2.2. A brief explanation of the causes of the change.

7.2.3. An analysis of the overall impact of the changes proposed.

Activities impacted in each justification for change shall be identified by a unique activity code contained in the required data file.

7.3. Additional Submission Requirements - For any requested time extension of over 2 weeks, the

PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER may request an interim update with revised activities for a specific change request. The Contractor shall provide this disk within 4 days of the PRNG CFMO

PROJECT ENGINEER's request.

8. DIRECTED CHANGES - If the NTP is issued for changes prior to settlement of price and/or time, the

Contractor shall submit proposed schedule revisions to the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER within 2 weeks of the NTP being issued. The proposed revisions to the schedule will be approved by the PRNG

CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER prior to inclusion of those changes within the project schedule. If the

Contractor fails to submit the proposed revisions, the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER may furnish the Contractor with suggested revisions to the project schedule. The Contractor shall include these revisions in the project schedule until revisions are submitted and final changes and impacts have been negotiated. If the Contractor has any objections to the revisions furnished by the PRNG CFMO

PROJECT ENGINEER, the Contractor shall advise the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER within 2 weeks of receipt of the revisions. Regardless of the objections, the Contractor shall continue to update the schedule with the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER's revisions until a mutual agreement in the

RESTORATION OF ELECTRICAL LINES AT

FATC FY17

SECTION 01320 – PROJECT SCHEDULE

revisions is reached. If the Contractor fails to submit alternative revisions within 2 weeks of receipt of the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER's proposed revisions, the Contractor will be deemed to have concurred with the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER's proposed revisions. The proposed revisions will then be the basis for an equitable adjustment for performance of the work.

9. OWNERSHIP OF FLOAT - Float available in the schedule, at any time, shall not be considered for the exclusive use of either the Government or the Contractor.

Submittals requiring Government approval shall be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby. Samples remaining upon completion of the work shall be picked up and disposed of in accordance with manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDS) and in compliance with existing laws and regulations.

3.2 SUBMITTAL REGISTER

SECTION 01330 – SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES

The contractor will be presented a submittal of all equipment and materials that will be used in the project.

3.3 SCHEDULING

Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently. Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled. No delay damages or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals.

3.4 TRANSMITTAL FORM (ENG FORM 4025)

Not used.

3.5 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE

Submittals shall be made as follows:

3.5.1 Procedures

3.5.2 Deviations

For submittals, which include proposed deviations requested by the Contractor. The

Contractor shall set forth in writing the reason for any deviations and annotate such deviations on the submittal. The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted deviations.

3.6 CONTROL OF SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall carefully control his procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the Contractor scheduled.

3.7 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval, the submittals will be identified as having received approval by being so stamped and dated. Two (2) copies of the submittal will be retained by the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER and one (2) copy of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

3.8 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the PRNG CFMO

PROJECT ENGINEER is not required on information only submittals. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications; will not prevent the PRNG CFMO PROJECT ENGINEER from requiring removal and replacement of nonconforming material incorporated in the work; and does not relieve the
