SECTION 8 EXECUTION AND PROGRESS

A. The Contractor shall develop project schedules fully conforming to the requirements of Special Provision: SP-8.03-Critical Path Method Schedules.

B. The Contractor will develop and submit a project CPM schedule, consisting of Detailed Schedules #1, after issuance of a “Notice of Recommended Award” (NORA), as required in the Project CPM Development and Submission Table (“Table”) below. This schedule is subject to the review and acceptance process set forth in the Table and the times prescribed therein are of the essence.

C. The Administration will execute the Contract and issue a "Notice to Proceed" (NTP) for the project only if the Administration accepts the Contractor's Detailed Schedules #1. If acceptance of the Detailed Schedules #1 or #2 occurs after the time specified in the Table due to late or nonconforming submissions by the Contractor, the Contract Performance Time specified elsewhere in the Contract shall be reduced by the number of days of delay in acceptance of Detailed Schedules #1 or #2 caused by late or nonconforming schedule submissions.

D. For purposes of developing the project CPM schedule submissions in accordance with the Table, the Contractor shall use a Notice to Proceed date that is issued within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the “Notice of Recommended Award” date. Within seven (7) days after a “Notice to Proceed” is issued, the Contractor will resubmit the approved project CPM schedule incorporating the actual “Notice to Proceed” date and reflecting any adjustments to Contract Performance Time pursuant to paragraph C above.

E. If any Detailed Schedule submission is late or, if the Administration determines that the Contractor will not reasonably complete the project within the reduced Contract Performance Time, in addition to any other remedies available to it, the Administration may terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed with the Contract for default pursuant to General Provision: GP-8.08-Termination for Default-Damages for Delay-Time Extensions. If the Contract is not executed for reasons unrelated to submission, review, and acceptance of the Project CPM Schedule, the Administration shall reimburse the Contractor its actual costs of developing the Project CPM Schedule.

1. Per the Project CPM Development and Submission Table II, the Contractor will submit Detailed Schedule #2 which shall include all appropriate cost, manpower, and if specifically requested, major equipment requirements for the schedule activities. Detailed Schedule #2 shall utilize the approved Detailed Schedule #1 as the base schedule and add resource and cost loading as detailed below.

2. Detailed Schedule #2 shall use the same state date as Detailed Schedule #1 and shall incorporate the actual Notice to Proceed date into the schedule.

3. The following shall be incorporated into the Network for each construction and appropriate procurement activity:

a. For Lump Sum contracts, the assigned dollar value of each activity in the Network, shall represent its labor, material and equipment costs. Activity cost estimates shall correlate with, the breakdown of the total Contract price as shown in the Detailed Schedule of Values (See Part I, General Information Section of Plans & Specifications). Each subcontractor’s overhead and profit, mobilization and demobilization, bond and insurance costs shall be allocated between its activity costs (labor and materials). The total for all activities representing work for a given specification section shall cumulatively equal the sum of the labor and material amounts shown for that specification section in the Detailed Schedule of Values. The General Contractor’s general conditions, overhead and profit, mobilization and de-mobilization, quality control program, bond and insurance costs shall not be included in the activity costs but shall be shown as separate Level of Effort activities in the Schedule and conform to the approved Detailed Schedule of Values.

b. For unit price contracts, or for unit price activities of an otherwise Lump Sum contract, the assigned value of each activity shall represent the expected costs (covering labor, material and equipment) based on the expected quantity of material estimated for the activity and its quoted unit price. The activity's quantity shall be shown on the Network and shall also be included in the activity's description. Project mobilization, bond, insurance costs, overhead and profit shall not be included in the activity costs nor separately in the Network (and shown separately in the Schedule of Values).

c. The manpower loading of each activity in the Network, for a fixed or unit price contract, shall be the total number of man hours of each activity. For a fixed price contract, the total number of man hours assigned to the Network shall correlate with the labor costs in the Schedule of Values for each subcontractor's work.

d. For cost loading purposes, fabrication activities will not be cost loaded but delivery activities may be.

a. All schedule information in electronic (.XER) file format as directed by the Engineer.

b. An electronic (.PDF) file format of its proposed Time Scale Logic Diagram sorted by Early Start of all activities.

c. A written Narrative presenting the cost, manpower and equipment information in summary form and discussing any anticipated problems with attainment of the required levels.

1. The Engineer will review the initial submissions of the Detailed Schedule #1 and Detailed Schedule #2 and will respond with comments in accordance with the Project CPM Development and Submission Table. The Engineer and the Contractor shall meet in accordance with the Project CPM Development and Submission Tables for joint review, correction or adjustment of the Detailed Schedule #1 and #2. Any areas which, in the opinion of the Engineer, conflict with timely completion of the Contract shall be subject to revision by the Contractor.

2. In the event the Contractor fails to define any element of work, activity, or logic and the Engineer’s review does not detect this omission or error, such omission or error, when discovered by the Contractor or the Engineer, shall be corrected by the Contractor at the next monthly Schedule Update (as discussed hereinafter) and shall not affect the Contract time.

3. As required by the Project CPM Development and Submission Tables, the Contractor shall revise the Schedule in accordance with agreements reached during the joint review meetings and submit in electronic file format as directed by the Engineer.

4. In the event that Detailed Schedule #1 indicates the Contractor's plan to finish prior to the Contract completion date, the Contractor and the Administration shall execute a change order adjusting the Contract completion date to coincide with the Contractor's planned finish date at no expense to the Administration. Liquidated Damages will be measured from the adjusted Contract completion date.

5. Acceptance by the Engineer of the Contractor's approved Project Schedule will be a condition precedent to issuance of a Notice to Proceed, and the making of any progress payments under the Contract.

6. Upon acceptance of the Project Schedule by the Engineer, the cost-loaded values of the Project Schedule will be used as a basis for determining progress payments. Monthly progress payments shall be based upon information developed in the monthly Schedule Update. The computer-produced Cost Report will be utilized by the Engineer for verification of the Application for Payment submitted by the Contractor. Acceptance by the Engineer of the Contractor's Project Schedule does not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy or feasibility of the Project Schedule, or of the Contractor's ability to meet the Contract Completion Date. Nor does such acceptance create a warranty, expressed or implied, or acknowledge or admit the reasonableness of the activities, logic, durations, manpower, cost of equipment loading of the Contractor's Project Schedule.

1. The Project Schedule shall be updated on a monthly basis throughout the entire Contract time and until the Contract's Substantial Completion. The Contractor shall meet with the Engineer each month at the Schedule Update meeting to review actual progress made through the data date of the Schedule Update, including dates activities started and/or completed, and to discuss the scheduling of future work. Revisions to the Network logic to more accurately reflect the anticipated workflow can be discussed and mutually agreed-to, as well as changes to activity durations, staffing and equipment. The data date of each Schedule Update, which shall be the effective date of the Progress Payment Request, shall be on or before the seventh (7th) day preceding the progress payment submittal deadline. Contractor-prepared estimates of the percent completion of each schedule activity and the necessary supporting cost data shall be presented at the update meeting and shall include the following information:

a. The previous month's Schedule Update in both electronic (.XER) file format and electronic (.PDF) file format updated to indicate the progress on schedule activities and the revised (current) remaining durations.

b. The previous month's Schedule Update must indicate actual activity start and/or complete dates, revised (current) remaining durations, and percent complete with regard to activity cost/progress.

c. A listing of proposed activities to be added together with predecessors and successors, duration, manpower and cost.

2. In case of disagreements at the schedule update meeting, concerning actual progress to date, the Engineer's determination shall govern.

3. Upon completion of the schedule update meeting, the Contractor shall revise the Project Schedule to reflect progress as of the data date of the Schedule Update and carry out a computer-produced calculation to determine the status of the Project Schedule. This progress only schedule will be considered the A-Schedule. The Contractor shall use the A-Schedule and make any required revisions to the Project Schedule and carry out a computer-produced calculation to determine the status of the Project Schedule. This revised schedule will be considered the B-Schedule. The Contractor shall process the A and B-Schedules. The Contractor shall process the A and B Schedules within three (3) calendar days and forward the update and pay request to the Engineer. The Engineer shall review the update upon receipt, and shall process the monthly request for payment based upon the accepted update.

4. Each Project Schedule Update, based upon the Contractor's input as discussed above, will be forwarded to the Engineer and will include the following information:

a. A written Narrative summarizing schedule status and providing the following detailed information:

(3) A comparison of actual manning and equipment usage to the requirements of the previous update.

(4) A discussion of possible recovery actions to counter any schedule slippage. In the event that schedule slippage exceeds twenty-one (21) calendar days, this portion of the Narrative will be comprehensive. If it is not, then the Engineer may reject the schedule update and delay processing of the monthly Pay Request.

b. The latest schedule update, including the separate A and B-Schedules, in electronic file format as directed by the Engineer.

c. An electronic (.PDF) file format of the current Network (Time Scale Logic Diagram) sorted by Early Start of all activities.

d. The monthly updating of the Project Schedule shall be an integral part and basic element of the estimate upon which progress payments will be made. If, in the judgment of the Engineer, the Contractor fails or refuses to provide information required to accomplish a complete Project Schedule Update or revision as specified hereafter, the Contractor shall be deemed to have not provided the required estimate upon which progress payments may be made, and shall not be entitled to progress payments until it has furnished the information necessary for a complete Schedule Update to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

1. Updating the Project Schedule to reflect actual progress made up to the date of a Schedule Update shall not be considered a revision to the Project Schedule.

2. The Contractor may also request revisions to the Project Schedule in the event the Contractor's planning of the work is revised. If the Contractor desires to make changes in the Project Schedule to reflect revisions in its method of performing the work, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the next Schedule Update meeting, stating the reason for, and describing, the proposed revisions. Accepted revisions will be incorporated into the Project Schedule at the next monthly Schedule Update.

3. If the Engineer believes that the Project Schedule needs a specific revision, either in logic, activity duration, manpower or cost, it will be requested from the Contractor in writing. The Contractor shall respond in writing within seven (7) calendar days, either agreeing with the Engineer's proposed revision, and henceforth including it in the next Project Schedule Update, or setting forth justification why it should not be accomplished. If the Contractor's justification for not accomplishing the revision is accepted, such revision will not be incorporated into the next update of the Project Schedule. The Contractor's failure to respond in writing within seven (7) calendar days will be deemed to be an acceptance of the Engineer-requested revision, and such revision shall be incorporated into the next Project Schedule update.

1. If, as a result of the Project Schedule Update, it appears that the Project Schedule as shown no longer allows attainment of the Project completion date, the Engineer will request, and the Contractor shall submit, a recovery schedule sufficiently explaining, detailing, and displaying to the Engineer’s satisfaction, how the Contractor intends to reschedule its work in order to regain the contractual requirements, all without additional cost to the Administration. This may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, initiate or increase overtime operations, increase days of work in the work week, or all of them.

2. The Engineer shall make his request in writing within five (5) calendar days of receiving the monthly update. The Contractor shall submit this recovery schedule at least five (5) calendar days before the next scheduled update meeting so that the Engineer may review and accept it for use in the next schedule update.

1. When the Contractor desires to obtain an extension of the project duration because of a change order or other occurrence on the project, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a written Time Impact Analysis illustrating the influence of the change order or occurrence on the Contract Schedule. Each Time Impact Analysis shall include a Fragmentary Network (FragNet) demonstrating how the Contractor proposes to incorporate the change order or occurrence into the Project Schedule. The Time Impact Analysis shall demonstrate the time impact based on the date the change order was given to the Contractor or the date of the occurrence; the status of construction at that point in time; and the event time computation of all affected activities. Upon approval by the Engineer, the change order or occurrence shall be included in the next Project Schedule update.

2. Activity delays shall not automatically mean that an extension of the Contract time is warranted or due the Contractor. It is possible that a change order or occurrence will not affect existing critical activities or cause non-critical activities to become critical. A change order or occurrence may result in only absorbing a part of the available total float that may exist within an activity chain of the Network, thereby not causing any effect on the Contract time.

3. Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Administration or the Contractor. Extension of the Contract time will be granted only to the extent the equitable time adjustments to the activity or activities affected by the change order or occurrence exceeds the total float of a critical activity (or path) and extends the Contract time set forth in the General Provisions: GP-8.03-Prosecution of the Work, and GP-8.09-Liquidated Damages.

4. Submit Time Impact Analysis in accordance with the following along with a written proposal for any requested time extension;

a. Within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of a written change order pursuant to General Provision: GP-4.06-Changes and Special Provision: SP-9.04-Negotiated Payment.

b. Within ten (10) calendar days from the beginning of a delay from unforeseeable causes pursuant to General Provisions: GP-4.05-Differing Site Conditions, GP-8.07-Suspension of Work, and/or GP-8.08-Termination for Default-Damages for Delay-Time Extensions.

c. With the filing of a written notice of claim pursuant to General Provision: GP-5.14-Claims.

5. In cases where the Contractor does not submit a Time Impact Analysis within the time requirements stated above, it shall be considered a waiver of any request for an extension of the Contract Performance Time. Any subsequent Time Impact Analysis submitted by the Contractor shall be dismissed by the Procurement Officer as untimely.

6. Approval or rejection of each Time Impact Analysis by the Engineer shall be made within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of each Time Impact Analysis, unless subsequent meetings and negotiations are necessary. Upon approval, a copy of the Time Impact Analysis signed by the Engineer shall be returned to the Contractor, and incorporated into the next Project Schedule Update.

7. The Time Impact Analysis related to a change order shall be incorporated into and attached to the applicable change order.

1. The Contractor shall furnish sufficient forces, offices, facilities and equipment, and shall work such hours including night shift and overtime operations, as necessary to ensure the prosecution of the work in accordance with the current monthly Project Schedule Update. If the Contractor falls behind in meeting the Project Schedule as denoted by negative float in the current monthly Project Schedule Update, at the direction of the Engineer, the Contractor shall take such steps as may be necessary to improve its progress. Determining the justification of additional payment to the Contractor for such actions shall not be a precursor for these actions. The provision of this paragraph shall not be construed as prohibiting the Contractor from increasing the hours of work, the number of shifts, overtime operations and/or the amount of construction plant and equipment or working on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, provided the Contractor gives reasonable notice to the Engineer as required under Special Provisions: SP-7.03-Night Work and SP-7.04-Saturday, Sunday, and Holiday Work.

2. Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of paragraph H.1 above shall be a basis for determination by the Engineer that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with such diligence as will ensure completion within the Contract time. Upon such determination, the Engineer may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work or any separable part thereof, in accordance with the General Provision: GP-8.08-Termination for Default, Damages for Delay - Time Extensions, or may take such other actions as may be deemed appropriate.

1. The Engineer may elect throughout, or at any time, during the Contract to record the number of workers and construction equipment working on each schedule activity in each area of the Contract and give a copy of this log to the Contractor who shall be responsible for advising the Engineer, without additional cost to the Administration, of any error in this work history, in writing, within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of same. This information will be used by the Engineer in its evaluation of the adequacy of the Contractor's performance and on-site manpower staffing, as well as in the evaluation of any Contractor requests for additional payment.

2. For certain critical work, the Engineer may require that the Contractor submit each Monday morning (or following day if a holiday), a Status Report of all progress which has occurred in any schedule activity, including:

3. This Status Report shall also indicate which activities the Contractor plans to start, or to continue during that week. This Status Report shall serve as a basis for discussion at the next project progress meeting. These actual start and finish dates and percentages of completion estimates will be used by the Engineer to evaluate the monthly Project Schedule Update.

1. No later than sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled completion of the Project, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a detailed Completion Schedule to the Engineer for approval. This Completion Schedule shall indicate all remaining work under the Contract, grouped by designated areas, and shall be derived from the most recent monthly Project Schedule Update.

a.

N. All original quality control records shall be maintained in a central, on-site, location by the Contractor and turned over to the Engineer at the completion of the Contract.

O. The requirements to maintain quality control records, as described above, shall not be construed to relieve the Contractor from submitting samples, test data, shop drawings, material certificates, or other information required elsewhere in the Contract.

1. Shop drawings shall include, but are not limited to, drawings, diagrams and illustrations, material schedules, performance charts and data, product data and literature, technical specifications and test reports, engineering calculations, studies and reports and other data prepared by the Contractor, subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier, or distributor which illustrates how specific portions of the work shall be fabricated and/or installed. The Contract performance period outlined in the Contract Documents includes time for the review and approval of the Contractor's shop drawings. The Engineer's review of shop drawings, product/material samples, requested approved equals and substitutions shall be as follows:

a. Specified product/material samples (as defined below): twenty-one (21) calendar days minimum.

c. Requests for approval of “Or Equal”, or “Approved Equal” articles pursuant to Special Provision: SP-5.03 or “Substitutions” pursuant to Special Provision: SP-5.04: forty-five (45) calendar days minimum.

d. Review time will begin and end with dates received by and returned from the Construction Manager.

e. The above minimum review times are to be used by the Contractor in developing the Detailed Schedule #1 required by Special Provision: SP-8.03.

1. The Contractor shall be required to develop and maintain throughout the life of the project a Schedule of Shop Drawings and Submittal Register (hereinafter referred to as “Register”). The Register shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval with the Detailed Schedule #1 submission required by Special Provision: SP-8.03 and shall conform to the following requirements:

a. The Register shall be a comprehensive listing of each and every shop drawing (as defined by paragraph A above), product/material samples and other submissions required by the Contract documents.

b. Each item listed on the Register shall have a unique submittal number. The submittal number shall incorporate the relevant: Technical Specification, section and paragraph numbers, or relevant Contract: General or Special Provision, section and paragraph number, and applicable revision or version numbers.

c. The Register shall be developed and maintained in a spreadsheet format similar to the attached “Register Example Form”.

2. The Register shall indicate the Contractor’s required submittal date for each item listed. The Contractor’s required submittal date shall be determined as follows:

a. For submissions required by the General or Special Provisions, the Contractor’s required submittal date shall be calculated by adding the number of calendar days specified to the date of issuance of the “Notice of Recommended Award” or “Notice to Proceed” (whichever is applicable).

b. For shop drawings and product/material sample submissions, the Contractor’s required submittal date shall be calculated by taking the early installation date from the approved project CPM Schedule, subtracting the estimated procurement, fabrication and shipping duration, and subtracting the twenty-one (21) calendar day or forty-five (45) calendar day review time (whichever is applicable).

c. For those shop drawings that can reasonably be expected to have multiple submittals prior to approval, the required submittal date should also reflect the additional time necessary for a second cycle of submission and review.

3. The Register shall become a scheduling document and shall be used to control submittals throughout the life of the Contract. The Register and the Project CPM Schedule shall be coordinated by inserting the Register into the Project Schedule to form one complete scheduling document.

4. The Contractor shall carefully control his/her procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the Contractor’s required submittal date shown on the Register. Failure by the Contractor to provide individual submittals on or before the Contractor’s required submittal date shown on the Register may result in extended review times, beyond the minimum review times detailed above. The Contractor shall be held responsible for any delays associated with extended review times in the event that the submittals are late.

5. The Contractor shall update the Register each month to show actual submission dates, days late (if any), review status and review action. The Contractor shall provide two (2) printed copies and one (1) diskette with electronic file format of the updated Register, which shall be submitted to the Engineer with the monthly Progress Schedule Update required by Special Provision SP-8.03.

1. Samples, drawings, specifications, catalogs, etc., submitted for approval shall be properly labeled indicating specific service for which materials or equipment are to be used including, section and article numbers of the Specifications governing, Contractor's name, and title of the Contract. Catalogs, pamphlets or other documents submitted to describe items on which approval is being requested shall be specific and identification in catalogs, pamphlets, etc., of the item submitted shall be clearly made in ink. Data of a general nature will not be accepted. Six (6) samples are required on finish color submissions.

2. Any costs incurred by the Contractor or the Administration due to the resubmittal of documents caused by inaccuracy, lack of coordination, and/or checking shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Each variation from the Contract Specifications and Drawings shall be noted on the submittal. The Contractor shall also state the reason for such variations. If these requirements are not met, the submittal may be returned for corrective action.

1. Administration Approved: Administration approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the Engineer. Within the terms of this Contract, they are considered to be "shop drawings".

2. Information Only: All submittals not requiring Administration approval will be for information only. They are not considered to be shop drawings as defined in Section A above.

3. Fire related shop drawings shall be submitted via the Engineer for review and approval by the Office of the Fire Marshal. Submit six (6) 22”x34” paper hard copies and one (1) CD containing a PDF of the same.

The Contractor shall submit for approval two (2) sepia reproducible and two (2) ozalid prints of shop drawings as called for in the Specifications or necessary for the work. If any contradiction exists between this requirement and the particular Specification, this requirement shall supersede. Send Shop Drawings to the organization designated by the Administration at the pre-construction meeting.

Any certificates required for demonstrating proof of compliance of materials with specification requirements shall be executed in six (6) copies. Each certificate shall be signed by an official authorized to certify in behalf of the manufacturing company. The certificate shall contain the name and address of the Contractor, the project name and location, the quantity and date or dates of shipment or delivery to which the certificate applies. Copies of laboratory test reports submitted with certificates shall contain the name and address of the testing laboratory and the date or dates of the tests to which the report applies. Certification shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from furnishing satisfactory material that meet the requirements of the specification.

The Contractor shall furnish all necessary templates, patterns, etc., for installing work, and for the purpose of making the general arrangement of the systems. All work included in the Drawings and details shall be consulted in connection with mechanical and electrical installations. Where the exact location of fixtures and equipment are not specifically located, the Contractor shall obtain this information in the field or from the Engineer.

The Engineer, on receiving sepia reproducible, will promptly approve them or indicate desired corrections, and return one (1) sepia of each drawing to the Contractor. The Contractor shall make all corrections and resubmit drawings, which are not approved in accordance with requirements for first submission. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the Contract, notice as required under General Provision: GP-4.06-Changes, shall be given promptly to the Engineer.

Payment for materials incorporated in the work will not be made if required approval has not been obtained.

Approval by the Engineer shall not be construed as a complete check but will indicate only that the general method of construction and detailing is satisfactory. Approval of drawings shall not be considered as a guarantee of measurements of building conditions. Where drawings are approved, said approval does not mean the drawings have been checked in detail; said approval does not in any way relieve the Contractor from his/her responsibility or necessity for furnishing material or performing work as required by the Contract Drawings and Specifications.

Use of shop drawings in fabrication or erection will not be permitted until approved, stamped, and dated by the Engineer. All shop drawings will be numbered consecutively by the Engineer when approved. Before submission for approval, drawings and schedules shall be fully checked by the Contractor for materials, sizes, dimensions, details, and shall bear evidence of the Contractor's verification and approval. All drawings shall be on same size sheets.

After approval of the shop drawings, the Contractor shall furnish prints to other Contractors furnishing work which will or may be affected by his/her work.

The Contractor shall follow drawings in laying out work and check drawings of the various trades to verify spaces in which work will be installed. Maximum headroom and space conditions should be maintained, and where they appear inadequate, the Engineer shall be notified before proceeding with installations.

If directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall, without extra charge, make reasonable modifications in layout as needed to prevent conflict with work of other trades or for proper execution of the work. Detailed drawings of proposed departures due to actual field conditions or other causes shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval and any such changes shall be made without additional cost to the Owner.

Because of the small scale of the drawings, it is not possible to indicate all offsets, fittings, and accessories, which may be required. The Contractor shall carefully investigate the structural and finish conditions affecting his/her work and shall arrange such work accordingly, furnishing such fittings, valves, transitions, pull or junction boxes, and accessories as may be required to meet such conditions at no additional cost to the Owner.

Where variances occur between the Contract Drawings and Specifications or within either document itself, the item or arrangement of better quality, greater quality, or higher cost shall be included in the Contract Price. The Engineer will decide on the item and manner in which the work shall be installed.

Failure by the Contractor to submit revised Shop Drawings in ample time for further review shall not entitle him to an extension of Contract time, and no claim for extension by reason of such default will be allowed.

1. Source limitations. To the greatest extent possible for each unit of work, and subject to the restrictions of the Buy American Act, provide products, materials, or equipment of a singular generic kind from a single source.

2. Compatibility of Options. Where more than one choice is available as options for the Contractor's selection of a product or material, select an option that is compatible with other products and materials already selected. Total compatibility among options is not assured by limitations within the Contract Documents, but must be provided by the Contractor. Compatibility is a basic general requirement of product/material selections.

Deliver, handle, and store products in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and by methods and means that will prevent damage, deterioration, and loss, including theft, and protect against damage from climatic conditions. Control delivery schedules to minimize long-term storage of products at the site and overcrowding of construction spaces and staging area. In particular, provide delivery/installation coordination to ensure minimum holding or storage times for products recognized to be flammable, hazardous, easily damages, or sensitive to deterioration, theft, and other sources of loss. Damaged or defective items, in the opinion of the Engineer, shall be replaced at no cost to the Administration.

a. General. The compliance requirements for individual products, as indicated in the Contract Documents, are multiple in nature and may include generic, descriptive, performance, prescriptive, compliance with standards, conformance with graphic details, and other similar forms and methods of indicating requirements, all of which must be complied with.

b. Procedures for Selecting Products. The Contractor's options for selecting products are limited by Contract Document requirements and governing regulations, and are not controlled by industry traditions or procedures experienced by the Contractor on previous construction projects. Required procedures include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following for various indicated methods of specifying:

(1) Standards, Codes and Regulations. Where only compliance with an imposed standard, code, or regulation is required, selection from among complying products is the Contractor's option.

(2) Performance Requirements. Provide products that comply with specific performances indicated, and that are recommended by the Manufacturer (in published product literature) for the applications indicated. Overall performance of a product is implied where the product is specified with only certain specific performance requirements.

(3) Products Specified as Acceptable: Any products complying with the Specifications can be proposed whether listed specifically or not on the listing of acceptable products or manufacturers. Acceptable product items are listed for the convenience of the Contractor, but are not to be considered an all-inclusive list.

(4) Visual Matching. Where matching with an established sample is required, the Engineer will render the final judgement of whether a product proposed by the Contractor matches a sample satisfactorily.

(5) Visual Selection. Except as otherwise indicated, where specified product requirements include "... as selected from the Manufacturer's standard colors, patterns, textures..." or words of similar effect, the selection of manufacturer and basic product (complying with requirements) is the Contractor's option, and subsequent selection of color, pattern, and texture is the Engineer's selection. A phrase such as "...as selected from the Manufacturer's full color line..." means selection of standard or optional colors regularly produced by the selected manufacturer.

c. General Requirements for Electrical Work: The following applies to electrical work unless otherwise specified:

(2) Conduits, Wiring and Equipment. Arrange generally as indicated. Any change resulting in a savings of labor or materials shall be made only in accordance with a contract change order. Deviations are permitted only where necessary to avoid interferences and only after drawings showing the proposed deviations have been submitted to and approved by the Engineer.

(3) Ratings. The motor horsepower and apparatus wattage ratings shown or specified are estimated values, and the corresponding sizes of feeders and other electrical equipment indicated to serve them are minimum sizes. Motors of greater horsepower and apparatus with larger wattage ratings may be furnished if necessary to meet the requirements of the various sections of the Specifications in which they are specified. Where larger motors or apparatus with larger wattage ratings are furnished, increase the capacity of the feeders and other electrical equipment serving them to correspond, at no additional cost to the Administration, in each case in which the Engineer determines that apparatus meeting the Specification requirements and requiring a horsepower or wattage not exceeding that listed is available from two or more sources.

a. General. All equipment, material, and articles incorporated into the work covered by this Contract shall be new and of the most suitable grade for the purpose intended, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract. References in the specifications to equipment, material, articles, or patented processes by trade name, make, or catalog number, shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality and shall not be construed as limiting competition. The Contractor may, at its option, use any equipment, material, article, or process that, in the judgement of the Engineer, is equal to that named in the Specifications, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract. Provide products that are undamaged and unused at the time of installation, and that are complete with accessories, trim, finish, safety guards, and other devices and details needed for a complete installation and is suitable for the intended use and effect.

b. Standard Products. Products shall be essentially the standard catalogued products of manufacturers regularly engaged in production of such products and shall be the manufacturers' latest standard design that complies with the Specification requirements. Equipment shall essentially duplicate items that have been in satisfactory commercial and industrial use at least two (2) years, or more if otherwise specified, prior to bid opening; or, in lieu thereof, shall have been used and operated in a test installation that, in the opinion of the Engineer, duplicates its field performance for the same period of time. The Engineer reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit evidence of this effect for approval. When two units of that same class of equipment are required, these units shall be the product of a single manufacturer; however, the component parts of the system may not require to be the products of the same manufacturer.

c. Continued Availability. Products that, by nature of their application, are likely to be needed at a later date for maintenance and repair or replacement work shall be current models for which replacement parts are available.

In the event that the MAA has incomplete punchlist items completed by others pursuant to Paragraph C above, the Contractor shall be assessed all direct costs incurred by the MAA plus an administrative fee equal to thirty percent (30%) of the direct costs. The MAA shall deduct said direct costs and administrative fee from any monies due or to become due the Contractor under this Contract.

E. In the event that the MAA allows the Contractor to continue work on punchlist items beyond the allotted time, the MAA shall deduct from any monies owed Contractor, all construction management and inspection costs it incurs as a result of the work being performed beyond the allotted time.

F. Warranties shall be in effect from the date of final acceptance for maintenance pursuant to GP-5.13, Acceptance for Maintenance.

G. Notwithstanding General Provision: GP-8.09-Liquidated Damages, and as may be specified elsewhere in the Contract, the Contractor shall pay, indemnify, and save harmless the MAA from all suits, actions, claims, demands, damages, losses, expenses, and/or costs of every kind and description to which the MAA may be subjected to resulting from non-completion of the Contract which negatively affects separate Contractors on adjoining or overlapping work. The whole or so much monies due or become due the Contractor under the Contract, as may be considered necessary by the MAA, may be retained by the Administration until such suits or claims for damages shall have been settled, or otherwise disposed of, and satisfactory evidence to that effect furnished to the Procurement Officer. This obligation is not limited by, but is in addition to, the Performance Bonds contained in the Contract.

A. Paragraph D.1. In order for the Engineer to award a time extension under this clause, the Engineer must be satisfied that the following conditions exist.

1. The weather experienced at the project site during the Contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month;

2. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the Contract. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

3. Time extensions for unusually severe weather occurring beyond the contractual completion date will not be granted if the contract duration has extended beyond the contractual completion date due to Contractor delay.

B. 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 a baseline for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

C. Upon issuance of the NTP and continuing throughout the Contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC Report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for fifty percent (50%) or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather to be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated above, the Engineer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days and issue a time extension in accordance with the General Provisions Section GP-8.08, Termination for Default - Damages for Delay - Time Extensions and SP-8.03 Critical Path Method Schedule. Time extensions for unusually severe weather shall not be compensable.

The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, when the project is forty percent (40%) complete, a list of proposed maintenance and instruction manuals to be furnished to the Administration, and the scheduled dates of all required field instruction to be provided by the Contractor-furnished personnel or the Manufacturer's representatives. All maintenance and instruction manuals must be furnished to the Engineer at least two weeks prior to the scheduled dates of any required Contractor-furnished field instructions or at least one month prior to project completion, if no Contractor-furnished field instructions are required.

In the event of a conflict between contract documents, the earlier listed above shall prevail.
