Though timing of the submission of the two-week look ahead schedule will be agreed upon in the field, typically the two-week look ahead is to be submitted by the contractor by noon on Thursdays, with the look ahead being the Contractor's planned activities for the following two complete weeks. This scheduling document will be used as the basis for coordinating the contractor's work with base activities, officials and occupants.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 12

Failure to provide the two-week look ahead or not including all activities may result in contractor work activities being denied. The denial of work activities due to the contractor's failure to submit the two-week look ahead shall not be the basis for a Government caused delay claim.
