Schedule Submittal. As stated above, the Contractor must, within 30 calendar days after the award, submit a complete schedule of operations to the Engineer. Acceptance of the Contractor’s Schedule as meeting the requirements of this subsection and the mobilization item shall not be construed to imply approval of any particular method or sequence of construction or to relieve the Contractor of providing sufficient materials, equipment and labor to guarantee completion of the project in accordance with the contract proposal, plans and specifications. Nor shall acceptance be construed to modify or amend the agreement or the date of completion therein. Schedules deviating from the Schedule and Suspension of Work requirements of the contract are unacceptable, unless the Contractor has made application in a separate writing and received written approval of the requested change, and if such a schedule is inadvertently “approved” that “approval” will be invalid. Contractor requests for alternative scheduling to that outlined on the Plan Staging/Phasing and the Schedule and Suspension of Work requirements in this proposal, will be entertained as a request for a waiver of specifications. Bids shall be based upon the scheduling and phasing in the bidding documents.
