SECTION 013000 – ELECTRONIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT (ePM) SYSTEM

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 PURPOSE

A. The Contractor shall use GSA’s web-based electronic Project Management (ePM) system, which is a fully configured version of Meridian Systems’ Proliance Construction Management Software. Click on this link for the ePM minimum requirements:

https://insite.gsa.gov/portal/category/517870

1.2 DEFINITION

A. ePM is a web-based project management tool which provides GSA’s Public Buildings Service with an automated workflow, collaboration, document management and project management solution to help manage GSA design and construction projects. ePM is integrated with GSA’s gBUILD (Green Building Upgrade Information Lifecycle Database ) to share project creation and data storage information.

1.3 PROJECT COLLABORATION AND DOCUMENTATION

A. General

1. The Contractor shall effectively manage the ePM database including maintaining adequate staffing levels and ensuring that personnel attend the mandatory GSA-provided training sessions.

2. The Contractor shall use ePM to upload, store, capture, preserve, record, maintain, update, and route all project-related documentation to comply with GSA's Document Security Requirements. Classified material is not permitted to be stored in this system.

3. The Contractor shall use the workflow processes contained within ePM to submit and receive approval for all project deliverables.

4. The Contractor shall continuously monitor and review ePM to ensure the Contractor data is current through completion of the Close-out Phase of Construction.

5. The Contractor is required to store documents from their subcontractors and vendors in ePM. If a subcontractor or vendor does not obtain an ePM license, the contractor will be responsible for uploading and processing documents in ePM on their behalf.

B. Contents of ePM

1. The Contractor shall use ePM as the electronic filing cabinet for all project-related correspondence and submittals. The Contract Documents specify certain documentation that the Contractor shall provide during performance of the Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, and unless specifically stated otherwise in the Contract Documents, in addition to any documentation that the Contractor submits to GSA as set forth in the Contract Documents. The current ePM Minimum Requirements can be found at:

http://www.gsa.gov/epm.

1.4 SCHEDULING REQUIREMENTS

1. The Project Schedule shall be produced using widely used, commercially available computer software that is capable of generating and monitoring a CPM schedule and is compatible with Meridian Proliance.®

1.5 EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING

A. Equipment

1. GSA will not furnish any equipment related to accessing ePM. ePM is web-accessible, and can therefore be accessed via any computer with an Internet connection. For up to date ePM desktop requirements: http://www.gsa.gov/epm.

B. ePM Training

1. GSA will provide no cost training to familiarize team members with the ePM system.

The GSA Project Manager will ensure that appropriate personnel should attend training and what roles they will be set up within the system based on their project responsibilities.

C. ePM Support

1. GSA will provide ePM system administration and end user support, for the duration of the project.

1.6 PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS

A. An HSPD-12 security clearance is required to access ePM. Project Team members without an HSPD-12 clearance will need to work with the GSA Project Manager to initiate the clearance process, and request a temporary waiver for ePM access until clearance can be confirmed. A waiver means that once the individual’s HSPD-12 clearance is confirmed, an ePM username

SECTION 013100 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This section includes certain administrative provisions for managing and coordinating construction operations, including but not limited to the following:

1. General project coordination.

2. Coordination drawings.

3. Administrative and supervisory personnel.

4. Conferences and meetings.

5. Utility service interruptions.

6. Cleaning and protection.

1.2 GENERAL PROJECT COORDINATION

A. Coordination of Trades: Coordinate construction operations included in the various sections of the Specifications to provide an efficient and orderly installation of each part of the Work.

Coordinate construction operations included under different sections of the Specifications that depend on each other for proper installation, connection or operation. Keep pipes, ducts, conduit, and the like as close as possible to ceiling slab, walls, and columns to take up a minimum amount of space. Locate pipes, ducts, and equipment so that they do not interfere with the intended use of eyebolts and other lifting devices. Assure all controls can be reached and operated.

1. Schedule construction operations in the sequence required to obtain the best results where the installation of one part of the Work depends on installation of other components before or after that part.

2. Coordinate installation of different components to provide maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service, testing and repair.

3. Minimize roof penetrations.

B. Notification: Prepare and distribute memoranda to each party involved, outlining special procedures required for coordination. Include notices, reports and meeting minutes as part of the memoranda.
