    Project Controls Specification Summary

    The following includes some information about the anticipated project controlrequirements of the construction contractor and the duties of the Consultant acting onUDOTs behalf as the Engineer. This is provided to highlight some new project controls

    methods UDOT will incorporate into the project of which the Consultant should becomefamiliar.

    DEFINITIONS

    Critical Path: The series of activities that determine the projects substantialcompletion date; a delay to any of these activities could delay the finish date of theentire project. The Department defines the Critical Path as the Longest Path.

    Critical Path Method (CPM): The method by which activity durations and the

    relationships between activities are used to mathematically calculate a schedule for theentire project which focuses on the Critical Path activities that affect the completion ofthe project.

    Time Impact Analysis (TIA): A schedule or schedule fragnet, and narrative reportdeveloped specifically to demonstrate what affect a proposed change or delay has onthe current scheduled project substantial completion date.

    Total Float: The difference between the earliest and latest allowable start or finishtimes for an activity which generally represents the amount of time an activity can bedelayed without delaying the project substantial completion date.

    Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): A hierarchy of work that must be accomplished tocomplete the project. It is structured in levels of work detail that describe the projectand identifiable work elements.

    PROGRESS PAYMENTS

    Prior to payment, the Engineer requires documentation according to UDOTSpecifications to substantiate acceptance of materials and work items for both qualityand quantity.

    As approved by the Engineer, payment for work performed on a unit or measured basismay be released up to 90 percent of the value of the quantity associated with theschedule activity while documentation is in the process of being received andsubstantiated by the Engineer. The remaining 10 percent of the value will be paid whenthe work is complete AND all required documentation is received and substantiated bythe Engineer.

    2/16

    The Engineer cannot approve payment prior to receiving documentation when suchdocumentation is required by contract prior to placement of materials (i.e., materialcertifications, FHWA requirement, Buy America, etc.).As approved by the Engineer, partial payment for work performed on a lump sum orplan quantity activity may be released as follows:

    a. Payment may be released at 50 percent of the activity value when thephysical progress of an activity is at least 50 percent achieved andaccepted according to Contract requirements.

    b. Payment may be released at 90 percent of the activity value when thephysical progress of an activity is 100 percent achieved and acceptedaccording to Contract requirements, and documentation is in the processof being received and substantiated by the Engineer. The remaining 10percent of the value will be paid when the work is complete AND allrequired documentation is received and substantiated by the Engineer.

    Level-of-effort activities associated with project management are paid on a percentage

    basis according to monthly schedule progress.

    At no time are dates or durations in the construction schedule to be altered ormanipulated for payment purposes. All schedule activities are to be updated accordingto progress in the field and reflect accurate as-built information in accordance withcontract requirements. See Section 00555S.

    QUALIFIED SCHEDULER

    A. Provide a qualified scheduler who has a minimum of three yearsexperience performing the duties of planning, developing, evaluating,analyzing, maintaining and reporting Critical Path Method (CPM)schedules, and possesses demonstrated proficiency in CPM schedulemethodology and utilization of Primavera P6 software, or current version.The Contractors project manager is not allowed to perform the role ofqualified scheduler.

    3. The Contractor may arrange this meeting prior to Notice to Proceedto facilitate timely development of the baseline schedule.

    B. General Requirements1. Provide the Engineer with a baseline construction schedule

    meeting the requirements of this section using Primavera 6.0 orcurrent version or Primavera Contractor. Provide a schedulenarrative as described in this section.

    2. Reflect the proposed approach to accomplish the work.3. Use the baseline schedule to coordinate all activities on the project,

    including those with other entities such as subcontractors, vendorsand suppliers, utilities, local governments, special service districts,and the Department.

    4. Employ a sufficient workforce, supply adequate materials andequipment, and progress the work with such diligence as tomaintain the rate indicated in the accepted baseline construction

    schedule.5. All costs to maintain the schedule are solely the Contractorsobligation and at no expense to the Department.

    C. Baseline Schedule Submission1. Establish a sequential numbering system for schedule submittals

    and associated reports to allow easy identification of BaselineSchedule(s), Schedule Updates, and Schedule Updateresubmissions,as acceptable to the Engineer.

    schedule as necessary to the satisfaction of the Engineer.4. The Contractor completes the final baseline schedule, incorporating

    any revisions necessary, and obtains Engineers acceptance within30 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.

    5. No progress payments are made before the Engineer accepts thefinal baseline schedule.

    6. The Contractor is solely responsible for planning and executing thework. Engineers acceptance of the baseline schedule does not:

    4/16

    a. Imply approval of any construction methods or relieve theContractors responsibility to provide sufficient materials,equipment, and labor to guarantee completion of the projectin accordance with the Contract.

    b. Attest to the validity of assumptions, activities, relationships,

    sequences, resource allocations, or any other aspect of thebaseline construction schedule.7. Failure to include any element of work required by the contract in

    the accepted baseline construction schedule does not relieve theContractors responsibility to perform such work.

    8. The baseline construction schedule, or subsequent scheduleupdates, does not modify the contract documents.

    D. Baseline Schedule Requirements1. Define a complete and logical plan that can realistically be

    accomplished for executing the work defined in the contract.

    2. Designate the baseline schedule Data Date as the day before theNotice to Proceed. Data Dates for Schedule Updates will be theday after the estimate period closes.

    3. Include a well-defined work breakdown structure (WBS). Assignthe WBS structure consistently and uniformly among all similaractivity types. Each activity must be assigned to a WBS.

    4. Include activity coding structures that allows project activities to besorted by type of work, location of work, or as mutually agreed to bythe Contractor and the Engineer.a. Use Activity Global Codes in Primavera P6. Begin each

    Global Code name with the UDOT Project IdentificationNumber followed by a dash.

    5/16

    6. Provide a sufficient number of activities to assure adequateplanning and to allow monitoring and evaluation of progress andpayments.a. Define activities to a level of detail acceptable to the

    Engineer.

    b. A baseline schedule with less than 500 activities or morethan 2000 activities requires justification by the Contractorand approval by the Engineer.

    c. Include additional activities as required by the Engineer.7. Include milestones to define significant contractual events such as

    Notice to Proceed, Substantial Completion, completion of majorsegments of work, major traffic changes, and coordination pointswith outside entities (such as utilities, special service districts, etc.).

    8. Include activities that define significant interaction points with theDepartment and other entities such as subcontractors, vendors andsuppliers, utilities, local governments, and special service districts.

    9. Describe activities so that the scope of work is identifiable andprogress on each activity can be measured.a. Provide a unique and legible activity description to easily

    identify the specific activity. Indicate in each activitydescription its associated scope and location of work (suchas type of work, bridge number, station to station locations,side of highway, pipe number, etc.). Also include a verb inthe activity description to indicate the action undertaken(such as install, place, fabricate, etc.). There should be noduplicate activity descriptions.

    10. Define the duration of each activity.a. Limit the maximum duration of any activity to 20 days unless

    otherwise accepted by the Engineer. Exceptions couldinclude non-work type activities such as mobilization, design,fabrication, settlement durations, curing, and long leadprocurement items.

    b. Use of level of effort (LOE) activities requires Engineerapproval.

    c. Duration for each activity should be the time required tocomplete the Work based on the quantity of work divided byreasonably anticipated production rate(s).

    d. Include separate activities for cure time, major inspectionpoints requiring preparation, submittal periods, and othertime consuming activities.

    11. Clearly identify the relationships and logic that tie activitiestogether.a. Each activity is to have at least one predecessor and one

    successor activity, except for Notice to Proceed andSubstantial Completion milestones.

  • 7/27/2019 uconowner

    6/16

    b. Avoid unnecessary relationships or excessive ties to endmilestones.

    c. Provide a list of activities utilizing lags and the justification forthe use of each lag. Do not utilize any negative lags.

    12. Do not have any constrained activities unless accepted by the

    Engineer.13. Do not sequester project total float through manipulating calendars,extending activities durations, or any other such methodology.

    14. Use of negative float is not acceptable in the baseline constructionschedule.

    15. Clearly show the critical path.a. Use the longest path schedule option setting to define critical

    activities.b. Use the retained logic schedule option setting to calculate

    the critical path and controlling activities in the baselineschedule and subsequent schedule updates.

    c. Do not use the leveling resources schedule option withoutprior notification and concurrence of schedule updateprocedures with the Engineer.

    d. Ensure the schedule has been progressed (by using theSchedule function under Tools in Primavera) prior tosubmission with no further modifications made to theschedule following progression. The Schedule functionallows the software to complete a forward and backwardpass of the data to calculate float and longest path.

    16. As a guideline, near-critical activities should be limited to 15% ofthe construction activities not including LOE, etc. Near-critical isdefined as activities with total float of 15 days or less.a. If more than 15% of the activities in the baseline schedule

    are near-critical, then the Contractor is to provide justificationfor acceptance by the Engineer.

    b. If more than 15% of the activities in a schedule updatebecome near-critical, then the Contractor is to present arecovery plan if requested by the Engineer.

    17. Resource-load the baseline schedule.a. Provide a list of crews with associated labor and equipment

    resources to the Engineer with the baseline schedulesubmittal.

    b. Define crews in Primavera as a Labor Resource Type andassign to appropriate activities.

    c. Optional: Define equipment as Non-Labor Resource Typefor each type and size of equipment and assign toappropriate activities. Or, it is acceptable to define crewswith associated labor and equipment and provide to theEngineer as described above.

    7/16

    d. Do not include any costs for Labor resources (price/unit =$0.00).

    e. If composition of crews (labor or equipment) changes at anytime during the course of the Project, revise the ScheduleUpdates to reflect the changes and provide the Engineer

    with a revised list of crews with associated labor andequipment resources.f. No request or claim for contract time extension or additional

    costs based on labor or equipment resource shortages willbe considered unless the baseline and subsequent scheduleupdates are accurately resource-loaded.

    18. Cost-load the baseline schedule.a. Provide sufficient number of activities so that budget of any

    one activity does not exceed $200,000.00, unless otherwiseapproved by the Engineer.

    b. Create Resource IDs and Resource Names in Primavera

    that are based on UDOT bid items.c. Begin each Resource ID with the UDOT Project IdentificationNumber followed by a dash.

    d. Define costs as Material Resource Type.e. Each resource (bid item) should be allocated and assigned

    to activities in the appropriate quantity to accomplish theWork within the activity duration.

    f. Modifications to the project budget during the course of theProject will also need to be revised in Schedule Updates.1) Change Orders as approved by the Department are to

    be added into the schedule with appropriate activities,resources, and units/budget to represent the modifiedscope of work. Throughout the Project, total budgetin the schedule should match revised ContractAmount inclusive of all authorized Change Orders.

    2) When the Contractor adds or splits out activities in thecourse of revising a Schedule Update, units/budgetand resources for those activities must also bereallocated to represent appropriate quantity toaccomplish the Work within the activity duration.

    19. Payments are based on estimates prepared by the Engineer inaccordance with Section 01282.

    20. Actual units/costs incurred through the course of the Project will betracked in PDBS.

    21. Set the activity percent complete to Physical for all activities otherthan LOE activities.

    22. The Department utilizes TILOS linear scheduling software todisplay the CPM schedule in a time-location diagram. TheContractor ensures that activity coding and stationing in the

  • 7/27/2019 uconowner

    8/16

    baseline schedule and subsequent schedule updates is accurateand up-to-date to accommodate the use of the software.a. Include a user-defined field for stationing start. Start

    stationing should be at the location where work is intendedto begin.

    b. Include a user-defined field for stationing end. Endstationing should be at the location where work is intendedto end.

    c. Stationing should be entered in such a way as tocommunicate the direction of the work.

    d. All stationing must be associated with the mainline for datato plot correctly on a linear display. If there are activities thatcross the mainline (such as cross-streets or utilities) providestationing consistent with the mainline. Do not use anyalternative stationing that may be provided on design orutility plans unless approved by the Engineer in advance. If

    an activity is not located on the mainline or does not crossthe mainline, then stationing may not need to be provided forthat activity upon concurrence with the Engineer.

    e. Create and assign to each activity a Global Code for workelements to indicate the type of work related to an activity.Begin the Global Code name with the UDOT ProjectIdentification Number followed by a dash.

    f. Establish code values as agreed upon with the Engineer inthe Baseline Schedule Pre-Submittal Meeting. A guidelinefor code values is provided in the following table.

    TIME IMPACT ANALYSIS

    A. A Time Impact Analysis (TIA) is a schedule or schedule fragnet and anarrative report developed specifically to demonstrate what affect aproposed change or delay has on the current scheduled completion date.The TIA illustrates the impacts of each change or delay on the currentscheduled completion date or internal milestone, as applicable.

    B. Submit a TIA to the Engineer under the following circumstances:1. If any changes in a Schedule Update impact the Critical Path, or

    result in extension of the Substantial Completion date as comparedto the previously accepted Schedule Update.

  • 7/27/2019 uconowner

    15/16

    2. If the Contractor has claim for delay. Submit a separate TIA foreach delay event resulting in a request for adjustment of ContractTime.a. Submission of a TIA does not relieve the Contractor of

    complying with all contractual requirements regarding

    notification and documentation of potential change ordersand change orders.3. The Department may request at any time a TIA demonstrating

    impact or potential impact to the project schedule resulting fromclaimed delays or Change Orders which are being negotiatedbetween the Department and the Contractor.a. Submit a TIA within 10 working days of receiving a request

    by the Engineer for a TIA.

    C. Time extensions will only be considered if:1. The delay event is demonstrated to affect the controlling operation

    on the Critical Path. Changes that do not affect the Critical Pathwill not be considered as the basis for a time adjustment.2. The total float is absorbed and the scheduled completion date is

    delayed one or more working days because of the change orimpact.

    D. A TIA consists of the following steps or elements:1. Establish the status of the Project before the impact by using the

    most recent accepted Schedule Update that has the closest datadate prior to the event for TIA.

    2. Identify the impact event, estimate duration of the impact,determine appropriate logic, and insert the impact activity into theschedule. Progress the schedule.

    3. Demonstrate any resulting affects from the impact through layoutsgenerated from Primavera. Filter activities to show added ormodified activities and activities impacted from changes. Note anyother changes made to the schedule including modifications to thecalendars or constraints.

    E. TIA Submittal1. Provide a narrative report.

    a. Identify the Schedule Update(s) used for analysis.b. Describe procedures used to analyze schedule impacts,

    including:1) Additions, deletions, or modification to activities.2) Modifications to the calendars or constraints.3) Modifications to relationships.

    c. Describe impact or potential impact by comparing Work priorto the impact, and Work affected or predicted to be affectedafter the impact.

  • 7/27/2019 uconowner

    16/16

    d. Describe mitigation efforts taken to date.e. Describe potential resolutions to mitigate or avoid impact.

    2. Provide schedule layouts (PDF file) as generated from Primavera.Filter activities to clearly show impacted activities and affects toCritical Path. Multiple layouts may be required to adequately

    demonstrate impact to Critical Path. At a minimum, provide alayout demonstrating associated activities prior to impact, and alayout demonstrating associated activities after impact is insertedand the schedule is progressed.

    3. Include other information or documentation pertinent to theanalysis.

    F. Incorporation of TIA activities into the current Schedule Update submittalrequires approval of the Engineer.
