Common use of Schedule Requirements Clause in Contracts

Schedule Requirements. The construction of the project shall be planned and recorded with a conventional critical path method (CPM) schedule in the form of an activity on node diagram based on the principles defined by the most recent issue of the Construction Planning & Scheduling Manual published by the Associated General Contractors of America. An activity on arrow diagram or Xxxxx chart may be used in conjunction with a CPM, if approved by the Engineer. The schedule shall be used by the Contractor for coordination and monitoring of all work under the contract including all activities of subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers. The cost of preparing the CPM schedule, including updating monthly shall be included in the total amount bid for all contract items. The Contractor shall, within 30 calendar days after the award, submit a complete Schedule of Operations to the Engineer, fully describing the intended progress of the work and showing in detail how the work will be completed within the time limit specified in the contract, including completion of the intermediate phases as required to provide the number of open traffic lanes specified by the dates specified. This submission shall be in electronic format created using the latest version of the project scheduling software required as part of the Engineer’s Office computer system. Additionally, a PERT chart styled hard copy printout shall also be provided to the Engineer. The purpose of this requirement is to insure adequate planning and execution of the work. A pre-award and/or a pre-construction meeting will be held with the successful low bidder. At this meeting, it is expected that the successful low bidder will furnish, and be prepared to discuss, their complete schedule of operations, in CPM format. While not fulfilling mobilization item requirements, a 60 calendar day, preliminary schedule of proposed Contractor activities may be submitted at this meeting to enable the beginning of contract work preparation such as material orders, preparation of working drawings, and mobilization of equipment while the CPM schedule is being prepared. The Contractor’s schedule will be used by the Engineer for coordinating Thruway operations, evaluating progress of the work, comparing the work performed to the contract time and phasing requirements, monitoring and coordinating the work of all related contracts, and to assign necessary resources for inspection and administration of the contract. For “Incentive/Disincentive”, “A+B Projects” or other forms of contract where project completion and/or phase completion is utilized to determine payments, no contract work items may be pursued on the project unless the complete schedule of operations has been submitted to and found acceptable by the Engineer. Any delay due to Contractor failure to submit an acceptable schedule is a non-excusable delay.
