Section 7 – Prosecution of the Work

items of work highlighted. A corrective course of action shall also be included when problem

areas or delays are encountered.

All schedule updates or revisions shall show on the critical path the effects of any

occurrence upon which the Contractor has based a notice of potential claim or will base any

claim (see Section 9, “Changes and Claims”, of these Specifications) and shall expressly call

the Agency’s attention to the effects.

7-5.03 Four-Week Rolling Schedule

A four-week rolling schedule shall be provided by the Contractor at each progress meeting.

The schedule shall provide an accurate representation of the work performed the previous week

and work planned for the current week and subsequent two (2) weeks.

The schedule shall be provided in a bar chart form with information derived from and

consistent with the current project schedule. The schedule shall include activity ID number,

activity description, start and finish dates (both scheduled and actual), and any other information

requested by the Agency. Each activity shall be coded to note activities on the critical path and

activities that are behind schedule.

Float in any activity, milestone completion date, and/or Contract completion date is owned

by the Project and, as such, is a resource available to both the Agency and the Contractor.

Neither the Agency nor the Contractor owns the float time.

Unless otherwise provided herein, float is synonymous with total float. Total float is the

period of time measured by the number of Working or Calendar Days (as specified in the

Contract) each non-critical path activity may be delayed before it and its succeeding activities

become part of the critical path. If a non-critical path activity is delayed beyond its float period,

then that activity becomes part of the critical path and controls the end date of the work. Thus,

delay of a non-critical path activity beyond its float period will cause delay to the project itself.

Acceptance of a Baseline Schedule, Monthly Update(s), or Revised Schedule, which is

based on less time than the maximum time allowed for milestone or Contract completion, does

not serve to change any Contract duration, nor does it serve as a waiver of either the

Contractor's or Agency’s right to utilize the full amount of time specified in the Contract. As

such, liability for delay of the project completion date rests with the party actually causing delay

to the project completion date. For example, if Party A uses some, but not all, of the float time

and Party B later uses the remainder of the float time as well as additional time beyond the float

time, Party B shall be liable for the costs associated with the time that represents a delay to the

project's completion date. Party A would not be responsible for any costs since it did not

consume all of the float time and additional float time remained, and the Project or milestone

completion date was unaffected.
