Section 1110. Progress Scheduling.
1110.01 GENERAL.
When specified in the contract documents, the Contractor shall submit a progress schedule
of construction activities based on the CPM by the principles defined in the most current
issue of THE USE OF CPM IN CONSTRUCTION published by the Associated General Contractors of
America. The CPM progress schedule may be hand or computer developed.
The CPM progress schedule shall be used for coordination and monitoring of all work under the contract including all activity of subcontractors, vendors and suppliers. The CPM progress schedule shall include provisions for traffic control, any staging, and other events to complete a project or tied projects. This schedule shall be the Contractor's intended working schedule and shall be used to plan, organize and execute the work; record and report actual performance and progress; and forecast remaining work.
1110.02 SUBMITTAL OF A CPM PROGRESS SCHEDULE.
When a submittal of a CPM Progress Schedule is specified in the proposal form, the
successful bidder for the project must submit 5 copies of a satisfactory CPM progress
schedule to the Contracts Engineer with the signed contract. Failure to submit a CPM
progress schedule may result in suspension of bidder qualifications in accordance with
Article 1102.03, A.
A. Compliance with Intended Work.
Upon receipt of the CPM progress schedule, the schedule will be reviewed for
compliance with the intended work. The Contracting Authority will notify the
Contractor within 10 calendar days after receiving the CPM progress schedule if the
schedule is approved or if any corrections or revisions are needed. If corrections or
revisions are required for the initial CPM progress schedule, the Contractor must
submit 3 copies of revised CPM progress schedule to the Project Engineer 10 or more
calendar days before the preconstruction conference. If the Contractor fails to submit
a revised CPM progress schedule as stated above, the Contractor's bidder qualification
may be suspended in accordance with Article 1102.03, A,
and the contract may be declared in default in accordance with
Article 1108.10.
1110.03 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CPM PROGRESS SCHEDULE.
The CPM progress schedule submitted shall be a network diagram with a numerical tabulation for
each activity.
A. Network Diagram.
The network diagram shall show a logical sequence and quantities of the required
work. The network diagram shall also show the order and interdependence of
activities. The Contractor shall prepare the network diagram making use of the crew
hour estimates and material delivery schedules so that the project or tied projects
are completed within the specified contract period. The Contractor shall take account
in the network diagram for any critical closure periods and limitations of operations
specified in Article 1108.03, the contract proposal,
or the plans.
The basic concept of network scheduling shall be followed to show how the start of a given activity is dependent on the completion of preceding activities and how its completion may affect the start of following activities. The network diagram shall include the following:
B. Numerical Tabulation.
The Contractor shall include a numerical tabulation for each activity shown on the
detailed network diagram. The following information shall be furnished as a minimum
for each activity on this tabulation:
This numerical tabulation may be either a computer printout or prepared manually. There shall be a column for each of the above requirements.
C. Other Specific Requirements.
The construction time, as determined by the CPM progress schedule, for the entire
project or any milestone shall not exceed the specified contract period. No individual
activity duration shall be longer than 20 work days unless specified in the contract
proposal or by the Contracting Authority. A unique activity numbering system shall
be used to identify activities by bid items, work items, areas, procurements, or
subcontractors. If subnetworks are used, no two activities shall bear the same
activity number or description.
There shall be a legend with the CPM progress schedule defining all abbreviations, terms, or symbols used.
1110.04 USE OF CPM PROGRESS SCHEDULE IN CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS.
No contract work shall be done without a CPM progress schedule approved by the Engineer. The
items in the activities for the denoted critical path will determine the controlling operations
of the work for the charging of working days.
During the life of the project, the Contractor shall review the CPM progress schedule with the Engineer biweekly unless otherwise specified. The Contractor shall submit a revised CPM progress schedule within 5 working days of the review meeting if the Contractor is behind schedule or if the schedule has been modified. All revised CPM progress schedules must be approved by the Engineer. For each revised CPM progress schedule, the Contractor shall submit 3 copies to the Engineer.
If the Contractor deviates from the current approved CPM progress schedule by not following the logical sequence of the critical path, payment will be withheld for the pay items for the affected activities until the Contractor submits a revised CPM progress schedule and this schedule is approved by the Engineer.
A revised CPM progress schedule will be required if the controlling operation falls 10 working days behind schedule, the Engineer then may take steps specified in Article 1108.02, H, to insure satisfactory completion of the project. If the controlling operation falls 20 working days behind schedule and it appears that the completion of the project in the specified time is in jeopardy, the Contracting Authority may take action described in Article 1102.03, B, and Article 1103.01 and may take further action described in Article 1108.02, H.
1110.05 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS OF PAYMENT.
The cost of preparing and revising the CPM Progress Schedule shall be included in the bid item
for Mobilization.
