Numbering shall be assigned so that, in general, predecessor activity
numbers are smaller numerically than the successor activity numbers. Skip
numbering shall be used on the network to allow insertion of additional
activities for contract modifications and logic changes. The minimum
number of construction activities in the final network diagram shall be
[_____]. Activity categories included in the schedule are specified below.
1.6.2.1
Activity Categories
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Include the following paragraph in Design
Build projects. Remove the first bracketed phrase
if Fast-Tracking will not be used on this project.
**************************************************************************
[a.
Design Activities: Requirements for the activities related to
design shall be included as separate activities in the project
schedule. Design activities shall include, but are not limited
to; the Design Notice to Proceed, Contractor's various stages of
design, application for and receipt of permits required,
Contractor's constructibility reviews, submittal of design
packages to Government, Government's design review periods,
specified design meetings, transition periods prior to
Construction Notice to Proceed, [(including Notices to Proceed for
each Fast-Track Phase as indicated in other sections of this
specification and as directed by the Contracting Officer) ]etc.
The Government review period shall be from the time the design is
received by the Government to the time it is sent back to the
Contractor; mail time will not be included in the Government
review period. Design activities will be linked to their
associated Procurement and/or Construction Activities.
If the Government's action on any submittal is "Disapproved" or
"Revise and Resubmit", a new series of Design Activities will be
inserted into the schedule. Predecessor for the new design
preparation activity will be the original approval activity and
the successor of the new approval activity will be the next design
step (in-progress or final) activity.]
b.
Procurement Activities: Tasks related to the procurement of
material or equipment shall be included as separate activities in
the project schedule. Examples of procurement activities include,
but are not limited to; Material/equipment submittal preparation,
submittal and approval of material/equipment; delivery of O&M
manuals; material/equipment fabrication and delivery, delivery of
extra parts, extra stock, special tools, notification of
Government Furnished Material/Equipment delivery requirement, etc.
As a minimum, separate procurement activities will be provided
for every specification section. If the Contractor intends on
using Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery methods, the schedule will show
each JIT delivery with relationship tie to the Construction
Activity specifically for the JIT delivery. Material and
equipment for which payment will be requested in advance of
installation shall be cost-loaded with the procurement costs
(e.g.; the delivery milestone(s)). All activities within a
procurement process/cycle will have a unique identifier in the
activity code to show their relationships and will extend to the
related construction activities (i.e., CSI Code).
