GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL

This section comprises an explanation of the general contract requirements needed to accomplish the work. All work specified herein shall be accomplished in accordance with the procedures prescribed in the specifications and drawings.

1.2 SITE WORKING HOURS

1.2.1 Government Project Personnel Working Hours

The scheduled working hours of the Project staff are Mondays through Thursdays from 6:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are non-work days. All Project support required by the Contractor shall be scheduled during the Project staff working hours.

1.2.2 Contractor's Working Hours

The Contractor's normal working hours shall be between 6:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The schedule of work hours, shifts and days of the week shall be coordinated with the Government Quality Assurance Representative (GQAR). Notification of any proposed changes of the schedule of regular work hours, overtime work hours, and shifts of work crews and personnel at the site shall be coordinated with the GQAR.

1.3 COORDINATION CONFERENCES

Routine coordination conferences will be scheduled by the Contracting Officer throughout the life of the contract. Coordination conferences will be held to discuss contract administration, Contractor quality control, phasing, scheduling, and other aspects relating to the required work. The Corps of Engineers and the Contractor will be represented at each of these meetings. Coordination conferences will be scheduled to occur when notified by the Contracting Officer.

1.4 PARTNERING

In order to most effectively accomplish the work required by the contract, the Government urges the Contractor to join the Government in establishing a cohesive and professional project management team. Through this "partnering" relationship both entities would strive to draw on the strengths of each organization for the ultimate goal of assuring that the project’s intended results are achieved, within budget and on schedule.

This endeavor seeks an environment that nurtures team building, cooperation and trust between the Government and the Contractor. The partnering relationship would be bilateral in make-up, and participation will be totally voluntary.

The first step in initiating the concept would be a joint project management team "partnering" conference attended by multiple officers from

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 2 each organization representing management and the key jobsite staff of each entity. The initial conference would be held within the first thirty (30) days following contract award. The Resident Engineer would chair the conference, establish its agenda and distribute minutes of the meeting. A professional facilitator acceptable to both parties would lead the participants of the session, through the steps of team building and the formation of a problem solving mechanism within the group. The conference duration would be no more than one day. Location of the conference would be offsite within a 60 mile radius of the jobsite at a facility which offers conference rooms and food service. All costs in connection with rented facilities and the facilitator would be shared equally by the Government and the Contractor. Each organization would pay other costs of its respective employees attending the conference.

Additional partnering sessions would be held no less than biannually.

Implementation of the partnering concept and philosophy would be an on-going process.

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 6

Activity Codes shall be developed and assigned to activities as detailed herein. A template SDEF compatible schedule backup file is available on the QCS web site: http://rms.usace.army.mil.

The SDEF format is as follows:

Field Activity Code Length Description

1 WRKP 3 Workers per day

2 RESP 4 Responsible party

3 AREA 4 Area of work

4 MODF 6 Modification Number

5 BIDI 6 Bid Item (CLIN)

6 PHAS 2 Phase of work

7 CATW 1 Category of work

8 FOW 20 Feature of work*

*Some systems require that FEATURE OF WORK values be placed in several activity code fields. The notation shown is for Primavera P6. Refer to the specific software guidelines with respect to the FEATURE OF WORK field requirements.

3.3.7.1 Workers Per Day (WRKP)

Assign Workers per Day for all field construction or direct work activities, if directed by the Contracting Officer. Workers per day shall be the average number of workers expected each day to perform a task for the duration of that activity.

3.3.7.2 Responsible Party Coding (RESP)

Assign responsibility code for all activities to the Prime Contractor, Subcontractor(s) or Government agency(ies) responsible for performing the activity.

a. Activities coded with a Government Responsibility code include, but are not limited to: Government approvals, Government design reviews, environmental permit approvals by State regulators, Government Furnished Property/Equipment (GFP) and Notice to Proceed (NTP) for phasing requirements.

b. Activities cannot have more than one Responsibility Code. Examples of acceptable activity code values are: DOR (for the designer of record);

ELEC (for the electrical Subcontractor); MECH (for the mechanical Subcontractor); and GOVT (for USACE).

3.3.7.3 Area of Work Coding (AREA)

Assign Work Area code to activities based upon the work area in which the activity occurs. Define work areas based on resource constraints or space

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 7 constraints that would preclude a resource, such as a particular trade or craft work crew from working in more than one work area at a time due to restraints on resources or space. Examples of Work Area Coding include different areas within a floor of a building, different floors within a building, and different buildings within a complex of buildings.

Activities cannot have more than one Work Area Code.

Not all activities are required to be Work Area coded. A lack of Work Area coding indicates the activity is not resource or space constrained.

3.3.7.4 Modification Number (MODF)

Assign a Modification Number Code to any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule as a result of a Contract Modification, when approved by Contracting Officer. Key all Code values to the Government's modification numbering system. An activity can have only one Modification Number Code.

3.3.7.5 Bid Item Coding (BIDI)

Assign a Bid Item Code to all activities using the Contract Line Item Schedule (CLIN) to which the activity belongs, even when an activity is not cost loaded. An activity can have only one BIDI Code.

3.3.7.6 Phase of Work Coding (PHAS)

Assign Phase of Work Code to all activities. Examples of phase of work are design phase, procurement phase, and construction phase.procurement phase and construction phase. Each activity can have only one Phase of Work code.

a. Code proposed fast track design and construction phases proposed to allow filtering and organizing the schedule by fast track design and construction packages.

b. If the contract specifies phasing with separately defined performance periods, identify a Phase Code to allow filtering and organizing the schedule accordingly.

3.3.7.7 Category of Work Coding (CATW)

Assign a Category of Work Code to all activities. Category of Work Codes include, but are not limited to design, design submittal, design reviews, review conferences, permits, construction submittals,construction submittal, procurement, fabrication, weather sensitive installation, non-weather sensitive installation, start-up, and testing activities. Each activity can have no more than one Category of Work Code.

3.3.7.8 Feature of Work Coding (FOW)

Assign a Feature of Work Code to appropriate activities based on the Definable Feature of Work to which the activity belongs based on the approved QC plan.

Definable Feature of Work is defined in Section 01 45 01 QUALITY CONTROL.

An activity can have only one Feature of Work Code.

3.3.8 Contract Milestones and Constraints

Milestone activities are to be used for significant project events

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 8 including, but not limited to, project phasing, project start and end activities, or interim completion dates. The use of artificial float constraints such as "zero free float" or "zero total float" are prohibited.

Mandatory constraints that ignore or effect network logic are prohibited.

No constrained dates are allowed in the schedule other than those specified herein. Submit additional constraints to the Contracting Officer for approval on a case by case basis.

3.3.8.1 Project Start Date Milestone and Constraint

The first activity in the project schedule must be a start milestone titled "NTP Acknowledged," which must have a "Start On" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP is acknowledged.

3.3.8.2 End Project Finish Milestone and Constraint

The last activity in the schedule shall be a finish milestone titled "End Project."

The project schedule must be constrained to the Contract Completion Date in such a way that if the schedule calculates an early finish, then the float calculation for "End Project" milestone reflects positive float on the longest path. If the project schedule calculates a late finish, then the "End Project" milestone float calculation reflects negative float on the longest path. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate Government activities to support a Contractor's early completion.

3.3.8.3 Interim Completion Dates and Constraints

Constrain contractually specified interim completion dates to show negative float when the calculated late finish date of the last activity in that phase is later than the specified interim completion date.

3.3.8.3.1 Start Phase

Use a start milestone as the first activity for a project phase. The start milestone shall be called "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.8.3.2 End Phase

Use a finish milestone as the last activity for a project phase. Call the finish milestone "End Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.9 Calendars

Schedule activities on a Calendar to which the activity logically belongs.

Develop calendars to accommodate any contract defined work period such as a 7-day calendar for Government Acceptance activities, concrete cure times, etc. Develop the default Calendar to match the physical work plan with non-work periods identified including weekends and holidays.
