feature of work to which the activity belongs. Feature of work refers, but
is not limited to, a work breakdown structure for the project. The feature
of work for each activity shall be identified by the Feature of Work Code.
3.3.3
Scheduled Project Completion
The schedule interval shall extend from NTP to the contract completion date.
3.3.3.1
Project Start Date
The schedule shall start no earlier than the date on which the NTP was
acknowledged. The Contractor shall include as the first activity in the
project schedule an activity called "Start Project". The "Start Project"
activity shall have an "ES" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP
was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.
3.3.3.2
Constraint of Last Activity
Completion of the last activity in the schedule shall be constrained by the
contract completion date. Calculation on project updates shall be such
that if the early finish of the last activity falls after the contract
completion date, then the float calculation shall reflect a negative float
on the critical path. The Contractor shall include as the last activity in
the project schedule an activity called "End Project". The "End Project"
activity shall have an "LF" constraint date equal to the completion date
for the project, and a zero day duration.
3.3.3.3
Early Project Completion
In the event the project schedule shows completion of the project prior to
the contract completion date, the Contractor shall identify those
activities that have been accelerated and/or those activities that are
scheduled in parallel to support the Contractor's "early" completion.
Contractor shall specifically address each of the activities noted in the
narrative report at every project schedule update period to assist the
Contracting Officer in evaluating the Contractor's ability to actually
complete prior to the contract period.
3.3.4
Interim Completion Dates
Contractually specified interim completion dates shall also be constrained
to show negative float if the early finish date of the last activity in
that phase falls after the interim completion date.
3.3.4.1
Start Phase
The Contractor shall include as the first activity for a project phase an
activity called "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The
"Start Phase X" activity shall have an "ES" constraint date equal to the
date on which the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.
3.3.4.2
End Phase
The Contractor shall include as the last activity in a project phase an
activity called "End Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work. The
"End Phase X" activity shall have an "LF" constraint date equal to the
completion date for the project, and a zero day duration.
