The scheduling of the work under the Contract shall be performed by the Contractor in accordance with the requirements of this Section. For the development of the schedule, the cost loading of the schedule, monthly payment requisitions and project status reporting requirements shall be done using computerized Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling. The CPM Schedule shall be cost loaded based on the schedule of values in accordance with Section 01370. The CPM schedule and all reports should be prepared with Primavera P3 software. CPM, as used by this section, shall be as generally outlined in the Association of General Contractors (AGC) publication, "The Use of CPM in Construction" except that either "i-j" arrow diagrams or precedence diagramming format may be used. In case of conflicts between this section and the AGC document, this specification shall govern. The schedule shall be as stated in the General Conditions of the Construction Contract and as specified herein. B. Inclement Weather. The construction schedule shall include at least 5 lost working days per year on the CPM schedule's critical path due to inclement weather. C. Float time. Total float time is the period of time measured by the number of days for each non-critical path activity, and succeeding activities, before becoming part of the critical path. The float time in the schedule belongs to the project. 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. Change orders take up float time as soon as they are identified. No extensions will be granted for change orders unless they are shown to be on the critical path and cause of an extension of the completion date.
