3.01 The Contractor must prepare and submit to the City a Construction Schedule for the Work (hereinaftercalled the“schedule”),thatisin conformancewith construction start and competition dates of the Preliminary Construction Schedule published in the Contract Documents and complies with the following requirements:
A. Provides a practical work plan under which the project must be completed within the Contract time. The schedule must not exceed the Contract time allowed for the completion of the work and, if the duration is less than the Contract time, the Contracttimewillbeshortened to equaltheContractor’sscheduleduration by a Change Order at no cost to the City providing the City is in agreement with the schedule. No contingency activities will be incorporated into the schedule.
B. The schedule must demonstrate the order and sequence of all significant work activities, including the interdependence between work activities. In addition to construction activities, the schedule must include materials and equipment, fabrication of special materials and equipment, and provide a schedule for submittal of samples and shop drawings for equipment and materials. The Contractor must allow 20 working days on the project construction schedule for each item submitted for review by the City.
C. The schedule must reflect a continuous work schedule; a 2-Phase construction schedule, to accommodate Mechanical work first will NOT be approved. Work must not be started on the project until materials for all trades (including all long lead ordered items) are available and have been inspected by the City or a designated representative.
D. The schedule must be of a level of detail to assure adequate planning and execution of the work and such that, in judgment of the City, it provides an appropriate basis for acceptance of the proposed schedule for monitoring and evaluation of the progress of the work.
E. Schedule must be in Microsoft Project format for each dwelling, showing the work dates across the top of the form, work tasks listed at the left-hand margin, and the proposed length of time required for a task shown as a bar with its left-hand end below the proposed start date and the right-left-hand end below the proposed end date.
F. The schedule must show the sequence and interdependence of activities as planned and will be drafted to show a continuous flow from left to right and provide a logical representation of the work to be accomplished.
G. The Contractor must be responsible for the schedule content. The Contractor must provide, in a timely and convenient fashion, all information regarding work operations, sequence of work, breakdown of the work into individual activities and time estimates for these individual activities. The schedule must also include product delivery time period from shipping to delivery, City RSI inspection of products, City Building and Safety inspection, rough inspections, and proposed dates for RSI punch list/final inspection.
H. The schedule must include sub-schedules of related activities which are essential to its progress. It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of beginning, the rates of progress, and the time of completion of the work are in the essence of
this Contract. The work must be executed with such progress as required to prevent any delay in the completion of individual dwellings and to the general completion of the Contract.
Part 4 Execution
4.01 If, according to the schedule, the Contractor is fourteen (14) calendar days or more behind schedule, Contractor must be responsible to submit a revised Construction Schedule which indicates methods of reducing the network plan by concurrency of operations, increased manpower, reducing critical work spans or a combination of both so that the Contractor’s schedule reflects compliance with the Contract time. The Contractor’s efforts to comply with the Contract time must be at own expense.
4.02 All construction activities must include time for inspection of materials by the City after materials are installed.
4.03 Whenever it becomes apparent that any completion dates will not be met, take some or all of the following action at no additional cost to the City:
A. Increase construction manpower in such quantities and crafts as will substantially eliminate, in the judgment of the City, the backlog of work.
B. Increase the number of crews per workday, or the amount of construction equipment, or any combination of the foregoing, sufficient to substantially eliminate, in the judgment of the City, the backlog of work.
C. Reschedule activities to achieve maximum practical concurrency of accomplishment.
D. All changes in the schedule must be submitted in writing by the Contractor
4.04 If it appears that the original schedule cannot be achieved, additional corrective action must be taken until the original schedule can be achieved or until all possible alternatives are exhausted. The City reserves the right to prevent the contractor from opening additional dwellings if the contractor does not stay on schedule and does not make an effort to get back on schedule. The City may allow the contractor to re-start his schedule when he is caught up or may terminate the contractor on remaining work.
4.05 The submission of an amended schedule will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to notify the City in writing of all anticipated potential delays in the prosecution of the work.
4.06 Pre-Construction Meeting:
A. The Contractor’s Superintendent must attendthe mandatory Pre-Construction meeting, as scheduled in the Preliminary Construction Schedule and ensure that a management level representative from each Subcontractor attend the meeting.
1. Failure for such representatives to attend will be grounds for cancellation of the meeting and, although the City will be attempt to reschedule the meeting within two weeks of the original date and time, will be rescheduled attheCity’sconvenience.
a. In such an event, resulting delays to the Construction Schedule will be the sole responsibility of the Contractor
b. Contractor agrees that the City, Property Owners, and potentially utility agencies will be damaged in the event of cancellations and agrees to reimburse the City in the form of Liquidated Damage specified in the Contract Documents (see Section 00 70 00)
B. City will invite utility agencies and the contractor will arrange for all of its sub-contractors to attend the meeting.
4.07 After notification of award and before starting any Work, the Contractor will submit a Construction Schedule to the City for review.
4.08 Effect of Contract Schedule
A. The Contract Schedule, and any updated Contract Schedules, will represent a practical plan to complete the Work within the Contract Time. Extension of any schedule beyond the Contract Time will not be acceptable. Schedules showing the Work completed in less than the Contract may be acceptable if judged by the Program Manager to be practical. Acceptance of such a schedule by the Program Manager will not change the Contract Time. The Contract Time, not the Contract Schedule, will control in determining liquidated damages payable by the Contractor and in determining any delay.
B. If a schedule showing the Work completed in less than the Contract Time is accepted, the Contractor will not be entitled to extensions of the Contract Time for Excusable Delays or Compensable Delays or to adjustments of the Contract Sum for Compensable Delays until such delays extend the completion of the Work beyond the expiration of the Contract Time.
C. The Contractor will plan, develop, supervise, control, and coordinate the performance of the Work so that its progress and the sequence and timing of Work activities conform to the current accepted Contract Schedule. The Contractor will continuously obtain from Subcontractors information and data about the planning for and progress of the Work and the delivery of equipment, will coordinate and integrate such information and data into updated Contract Schedules, and will monitor the progress of the Work and the delivery of equipment. The Contractor will act as the expeditor of potential and actual delays, interruptions, hindrances, or disruptions for its own forces and those forces of Subcontractors. The Contractor will cooperate with the Program Manager in developing the Contract Schedule and updated Contract Schedules.
D. The Program Manager’sreview and comments about any schedule or scheduling data will not relieve the Contractor from its sole responsibility to plan for, perform, and complete the Work within the Contract Time. Review and comments about any schedule will not transfer responsibility for any schedule to the Program Manager or the City nor imply their agreement with (1) any assumption upon which such schedule is based or (2) any matter underlying or contained in such schedule.
E. The Program Manager’sfailureto discovererrorsoromissionsin schedulesthat have been reviewed, or to inform the Contractor that the Contractor,
Subcontractors, or others are behind schedule, or to direct or enforce procedures for complying with the Contract Schedule will not relieve the Contractor from its sole responsibility to perform and complete the Work within the Contract Time and will not be a cause for an adjustment of the Contract Time or the Contract Sum.
F. The Contractor will perform the Work in accordance with the currently accepted Contract Schedule.
