Hammock (Summary) Activities: The Contractor shall include
special activities that are a summary of a chain of activities.
The start of the activity will be the start date of the first
activity in the chain and the finish date will be the finish date
of the last activity in the chain. Generalized work sequences,
Area Codes and Phase Codes will be summarized.]
1.6.2.2
Project Milestones
Dates shall be shown on the diagram for the start of the project, any
contract required interim start and completion dates, contract completion
date and other significant milestones.
a.
Project Start Date Milestones: The schedule shall start no
earlier than the Contract Award Date and the project duration (Day
1) will start on the Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) date. The Contractor
shall include as the first milestone in the schedule, an activity
named "Contract Award". Another milestone shall be included that
will be named "Start Project".[ Additional milestones shall be
included for Design NTP for each design increment and Construction
NTP for each construction increment.] The Contract Award and
Project Start milestones shall have mandatory start constraint
dates equal to the Contract Award and NTP dates, respectively.
b.
Constraint of Last Activity Milestone: The Contractor shall
include as the last activity in the project schedule, an activity
named "End Project". The "End Project" activity shall have a
mandatory finish constraint equal to the contract completion date
for the project. Calculation of project updates shall be such
that if the finish of the last activity falls after the contract
completion date, then the float calculation shall reflect negative
float on the critical path and if the finish of the last activity
falls before the contract completion date, the float calculation
shall reflect positive float on the critical path. The only
predecessor activity to this activity will be either the
"Contractor Early Completion" or the "Substantial Completion"
milestone, whichever is used by the Contractor.
c.
Early Project Completion: In the event the Contractor's project
schedule shows completion of the project prior to the contract
completion date, the Contractor shall include an activity named
"Contractor Early Completion". The activity shall be a milestone
with an unconstrained date representing the Contractor's Early
Completion date. The only successor activity to this activity
will be the "End Project" milestone.
d.
Substantial Completion: If the Contractor elects to include an
activity for Substantial Completion, then it is agreed that
Substantial Completion will be the point in time that the
Government considers the project is complete and ready for its
intended use. The activity will be named "Substantial
Completion". The activity shall be a milestone with an
unconstrained date representing the Contractor's Substantial
Completion date. The only successor activity to this activity
will be the "End Project" milestone.
