Downtown Expressway Parking Garage - Elevator Replacement Progress Schedule Richmond, VA

01310-1

SECTION 01310

PROGRESS SCHEDULE PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 FORM OF SCHEDULES

A. Prepare schedules in the form of critical path method (CPM) as described herein:

1. Provide separate CPM networks (subnetworks) of activities for eachprocess or facility.

2. Each subnetwork shall be assigned a code and separate activity numberingseries.

3. Interrelationships between subnetworks and any individual activities shallbe identified.

1.02 SCHEDULING RESPONSIBILITIES

A. The Critical Path Method type construction schedule will be used to monitor job progress and as a means to make monthly payments to the CONTRACTOR except for Stored Materials which will be made in accordance with Section 6.10 of the General Conditions of the Contract. The CONTRACTOR will be responsible for providing all information concerning the sequencing, logic, and durations of all activities as well as providing the initial CPM logic network diagram and tabular report data. Once the initial logic network diagram is accepted, the CONTRACTOR will be responsible for providing monthly update information on logic changes, percent complete, actual start and finish dates, and duration changes.

B. From the CONTRACTOR’s initial schedule submittal and from information received at the monthly schedule update meetings, computerized and dated tabular schedule reports, updated network diagrams, and bar charts will be produced which will be reviewed by the CONTRACTOR for accuracy and integrity. It shall at all times remain the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to schedule and direct his forces in a manner that will allow for the completion of the Work within the Contract Times.

C. It should be clearly understood that the initial schedule and all update information must be provided by the CONTRACTOR, and that this information is a representation of the best efforts of the CONTRACTOR and his Subcontractors as to how they envision the Work to be accomplished. Similarly, all progress information to be provided by and through the CONTRACTOR must be an accurate representation of his, or his Subcontractor’s, or Supplier’s actual performance. The schedule shall at all times remain an accurate reflection of the CONTRACTOR’s actual or projected sequencing of work. Once accepted, adherence to the established CPM Schedule shall be obligatory upon the CONTRACTOR, and his


01310-2

Subcontractors for the Work under this Contract. The OWNER may require the CONTRACTOR to revise the schedule if, in his judgment, the schedule does not accurately reflect the actual execution of the Work, or is in violation of any provision of the CPM scheduling requirements; and the CONTRACTOR shall revise the schedule as often as is necessary to bring the course of performance of the Work without additional cost to the OWNER.

1.03 SUBMITTALS

A. CPM Schedule:

1. Within five (5) business days after Notice to Proceed, submit the proposedCPM network diagrams, tabular reports for the entire Contract duration andinclude both procurement and construction activities. Sort the tabularreports by total float and activity number. They shall also contain apredecessor/successor resource loading report, and project calendar. Thislogic diagram shall be drawn as described herein and will be the subject ofa schedule review meeting with the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER, andOWNER’s representatives within 2 weeks of its submission. No paymentwill be made until an approved CPM Schedule is received from theCONTRACTOR.

2. If a review of the submitted CPM Schedule indicates a work plan which willnot complete the Work within the Contract Time stated in the Contract,revise the CPM Schedule as required and resubmit it until it is acceptable.Failure to submit an acceptable schedule may, at the OWNER’s solediscretion, be cause for the withholding of any partial payment(s) otherwisedue under the Contract.

3. Acceptance of the schedule shall not constitute a representation by theOWNER that the Work can be completed as shown on the schedule.

B. Submittals Schedule:

1. In addition to the above scheduling requirements, submit a complete anddetailed listing of anticipated submittals during the course of the Contract.Coordinate submittals with those of Subcontractors and Suppliers, andidentify each submittal as specified. Indicate the anticipated submissiondate for each submittal along with the date on which its return is anticipated.Review time for submittal shall be as provided for in Section 01300,SUBMITTALS. Durations shown for review shall be to share availablefloat for that path. Submittals and the review time, of which are on thecritical path, shall be clearly marked in red with the words “Critical Path”by the CONTRACTOR at the time of submission.

2. Submit the Submittal Schedule within 7 calendar days from the Notice toProceed. The Submittal Schedule will then be accepted or revised as


01310-3

required, and the CONTRACTOR will incorporate the dates and review durations into his CPM Schedule.

1.04 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

A. The network diagram shall show the interdependence of activities, and the sequence in which the Work is to be accomplished as planned by the CONTRACTOR. The basic concept of the network analysis diagram is to show how the start of a given activity is dependent on the completion of preceding activities, and its completion restricts the start of succeeding activities. A time scaled precedence format will be followed. The detailed network diagram will be time scaled showing a continuous flow from left to right.

B. The Schedule Activities shall be developed into three major groups:

1. Procurement Activities: Procurement Activities shall include at a minimum:

a. Permits.b. Easements.c. Submittal Items.d. Approval of Submittal Items.e. Fabrication and Delivery of Submittal Items.

Permits, easements, and fabrication and delivery items shall be tied logically to the correct construction activity in the overall CPM construction schedule.

2. Construction Activities: Construction activities will be physical workactivities that describe how the job will be constructed.

3. Testing, Startup, Training, and Closeout: CPM activities for this group shallinclude all Work to meet the requirements of individual Specificationsections and meet the requirements of Substantial and Final Completion.

C. Break the Work into activities, with durations of 1 to 20 working days each, except for non-construction activities (such as procurement of materials and delivery of equipment), and other activities which may require longer durations. To the extent feasible, activities related to a specific physical area of the project shall be grouped on the network for ease of understanding and simplification.

D. Each activity on the network shall have indicated for it the following:

1. A single duration, no longer than 20 days (i.e., the single best estimate ofthe expected elapsed time considering the scope of work involved in theactivity) expressed in working days. City holidays and weather delays shallbe included. One critical path shall be shown for the schedule.


01310-4

2. An activity I.D. number will be assigned to each activity. The I.D. numberwill be numeric with a maximum of 10 digits.

3. A brief description of the activity will be included. If this description is notdefinitive, a separate listing of each activity and a descriptive narrative maybe required.

4. Each activity (except for procurement activities) shall be cost loaded toindicate the total estimated costs of the activity. No activity shall exceed$60,000 except if an equipment item.

5. Each construction activity shall be man-hour loaded with the estimatedman-hours to be expended on each activity.

E. When preparing the CPM construction schedule, consider all construction sequence and critical construction activities requirements.

F. Failure to include on a network any element of Work required for the performance of this Contract shall not excuse the CONTRACTOR from completing all Work required within the applicable Contract Time.

G. A CPM Schedule which shows a completion of any portion of the construction work (not including testing and start-up) prior to the Contract Time dates may be accepted but in no event shall be acceptable as a basis for a claim for delay against the OWNER by the CONTRACTOR

H. The schedule calendar shall be a 5-day work week with holidays corresponding to those observed by the City of Richmond’s Department of Public Utilities.

1.05 COST LOADING

A. Schedule of Values:

1. Each activity for Work-in-Place on the construction schedule shall beallocated a dollar value in accordance with Article NETWORKREQUIREMENTS, Subparagraph D.4 above. Each activity’s assigned costshall consist of labor, equipment, and materials costs, and a proratedcontribution to overhead and profit. The sum of the activities costs shall beequal to the total contract price. Activities not directly related toWork-in-Place including Stored Materials, preparation and submittal ofShop or Working Drawings, or other required submittal or equipment andmaterial procurement shall not be cost loaded. In submitting cost data theCONTRACTOR certifies that they are not unbalanced, and that the valueassigned to each activity represents the CONTRACTOR’s estimate of theactual costs of performing that activity. The listing of cost loaded CPMactivities will become the Schedule of Values, and will serve as the basisfor payments to the CONTRACTOR.


01310-5

2. The accepted Schedule of Values shall represent a fair, reasonable, andequitable dollar cost allocation for each activity on the CONTRACTOR’sconstruction schedule.

B. Documentation: If it is determined that the cost data do not meet the requirements for a balanced bid breakdown, provide documentation substantiating any cost allocation on the cost data. Cost allocations shall be considered unbalanced if an activity on the construction schedule has been assigned a disproportionate allocation of direct costs, overhead, and profit.

1.06 PROGRESS OF THE WORK

A. The Work shall be started on the date indicated in the Notice to Proceed, and shall be executed with such progress as may be required to prevent delay to other contractors or to the general completion of the project. The Work shall be executed at such times and in or on such parts of the project, with such forces, material, and equipment, as to assure completion of the Work in the time established by the Contract. Additionally, schedule and direct the Work so that it provides an orderly progression of the Work to completion within the specified Contract Time.

B. Whenever it becomes apparent from the current monthly CPM Schedule update that delays to the critical path have resulted; and these delays are through no fault of the OWNER, or OWNER’s representatives, and hence, that the Contract completion date will not be met, take some or all of the following actions at no additional cost to the OWNER.

1. Increase construction manpower in such quantities and crafts as willsubstantially eliminate the backlog of Work.

2. Increase the number of working hours per shift; shifts per working day, ordays, per week; the amount of construction equipment; the forms forconcrete work; etc., or any combination of the foregoing to substantiallyeliminate the backlog of Work.

3. Schedule activities to achieve maximum practical concurrence ofaccomplishment of activities, and comply with the revised schedule.

C. Submit for review a written statement of the steps to be taken to remove, or arrest the delay to the schedule. If the CONTRACTOR fails to submit a written statement of the steps he intends to take or fails to take such steps as required by the Contract; the OWNER may direct the level of effort in manpower and trades, equipment, work schedule, and overtime to remove or arrest the delay to the critical path in the accepted schedule, and the CONTRACTOR shall promptly provide such level of effort at no additional cost to the OWNER. In addition, should schedule delays persist, the CONTRACTOR’s bond agent will be asked to attend meetings to update the schedule.


01310-6

D. Failure of the CONTRACTOR to comply with the requirements of this provision shall subject him to, at the OWNER’s sole discretion, withholding, in partial or in total, payments otherwise due the CONTRACTOR for Work performed under this Contract. The CONTRACTOR agrees that any withholding of moneys is not a penalty for noncompliance, but is an assurance for the OWNER that funds will be available to implement these requirements should the CONTRACTOR fail to do so, since failure of the CONTRACTOR to comply with these requirements shall mean that the CONTRACTOR failed to execute the Work with such diligence as to ensure its completion within the time for completion.

1.07 SCHEDULE UPDATES

A. Meetings: The CPM Schedule shall be updated and copies distributed for review at the Progress Meeting or as required. Actual progress of the previous period and future activities will be reviewed. The duration of activities and their logical connections may be revised as needed. Decisions made at these meetings and agreed to by all parties are binding with the exception that no contract completion dates will be modified without formal written request and acceptance as specified herein. In either case, provide the following minimum information for each Update:

1. Actual start and finish dates for all completed activities.

2. Actual dates for all started but incomplete activities including remainingdurations and/or percent completes.

B. Withholding of Payments: Failure to provide specified updated information or failure to attend progress meetings may result in the withholding of progress payments.

1.08 CAUSES FOR EXTENSIONS OF TIME

A. The Contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this Contract. In the event the CONTRACTOR requests an extension of any contract completion date, he shall furnish justification and supporting evidence per the General Conditions, and provide a detailed CPM Schedule delay analysis based on the most current updated CPM Schedule. The OWNER will, after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, make findings of fact and will advise the CONTRACTOR in writing thereof. If the OWNER finds that the CONTRACTOR is entitled to an extension of the Contract completion date under the provisions of the Contract, the determination as to the total number of days extensions shall be based upon the current accepted and updated CPM Schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data shall be included in the next monthly updating of the schedule. The CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that actual delays in activities which, according to the CPM schedule, do not affect any Contract completion date shown by the critical path in the network, do not have any effect on the Contract completion date or dates, and therefore will not be the basis for a change in Contract completion time.


01310-7

1.09 ABNORMAL WEATHER

A. The Contract Period will be adjusted to account for unusually severe weather conditions which prevent or inhibit the CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work and lengthen the critical path indicated on the Schedule (such unusually severe weather conditions referred to herein as "Inclement Weather"). It is the intent of this provision to offset the impact of Inclement Weather with unusually favorable weather conditions which immediately precede and/or follow the occurrence of Inclement Weather.

B. The CONTRACTOR shall notify the OWNER in writing of the occurrence of Inclement Weather within two days after the onset of such Inclement Weather and shall describe in reasonable detail the type of Inclement Weather encountered by the CONTRACTOR and the Work thereby interfered with or interrupted.

C. This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather. The following conditions must be satisfied:

1. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must befound to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weatheranticipated for the project location during any given month.

2. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completionof the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault ornegligence of the CONTRACTOR.

D. Schedule: The following Schedule of Monthly Anticipated Adverse Weather Delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The CONTRACTOR's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

E. Records: Upon acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed and continuing throughout the contract, the CONTRACTOR will record daily, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the CONTRACTOR's scheduled work day.

F. Impacted Days: The number of actual adverse weather days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day in each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in the Schedule of Monthly Anticipated Adverse


01310-8

Weather Delays, above, convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather workdays, and issue a modification in accordance with Section 01153 – Change Order and Field Order Procedures.

1.10 APPROVAL REQUESTS

A. As the Work progresses and in the sequence indicated by the accepted progress schedule, the CONTRACTOR must submit a specific request, in writing, for each item of information or approval required of him by the Contract. These requests must be submitted sufficiently in advance of the date upon which the information or approval is actually required by the CONTRACTOR to allow for the time needed to act upon such submissions or resubmissions.

B. The CONTRACTOR shall not have any right to an extension of time on account of delays due to his failure to submit his requests for the required information or the required approval in accordance with these requirements.

1.11 ADJUSTMENT BY OWNER

A. It may be necessary for the Contract schedule and/or Contract Times to be adjusted by the OWNER due to the effects of job conditions, acts or omissions of other contractors not directly associated with this Contract, weather, technical difficulties, strikes, unavoidable delays on the part of the OWNER or his representatives, and other enforceable conditions which may indicate schedule adjustments and/or completion time extension. Under such conditions, the OWNER shall direct the CONTRACTOR to reschedule the Work to reflect the changed conditions, and the CONTRACTOR shall revise his schedule accordingly. Schedule extensions affecting the Contract Times shall be granted only by the OWNER in writing. It is specifically pointed out that the use of available total float in the CPM Schedule may be used by the OWNER and his representatives, as well as, by the CONTRACTOR.

B. Without obligation to extend the Contract Times or any intermediate completion dates set out in the CPM network, the OWNER may initiate changes to the Contract Work that absorb float time only. OWNER initiated changes that affect the critical path on the CPM network shall be the sole grounds for extending or shortening the Contract times. CONTRACTOR initiated changes that encroach on the float time, identified in the CPM network, may be accomplished with the OWNER’s concurrence. Such changes, however, shall give way to OWNER initiated changes competing for the same float time.
