In order to expedite the acquisition of the equipment, which require what is assumed to be a long lead-time, Contractor will provide all necessary submittals for review within thirty (30) days after award of the Contract. The Owner will retain occupancy of the building during performance of the work. The contractor will have 180 days to complete the work. If circumstances beyond the contractor's control affect schedule, the Owner will entertain a time extension provided the contractor is deemed diligent in the pursuit of the work to date. The project work is expected to be initiated such that much of the "get ahead" work (as examples: gas piping, electrical modifications, new control buss installation, demolition where possible, controls) is performed while waiting on equipment. Waiting to start the work when all the equipment arrives is not an acceptable method of scheduling the work. This "get ahead" method will prep as much as possible for the air handling equipment change out. The contractor and the warranty roofing subcontractor will coordinate on the installation of the roof curbs and AHUs. The change out will be coordinated with the Owner. The change out will be sequential once started and will be coordinated with the Owner. No crane lifts may be done over a section of the building which is occupied. The Contractor will make all possible effort to schedule lifts on non-instruction days or holidays, coupled to weekend work to complete the installation of lifted units. The contractor should not assume that all units can be set during one crane event and needs to consider hour to accomplish the work in the preparation of their bid. The Owner will work with the contractor, as practical, to accomplish the work. Work Hours: During school hours, 7AM - 3PM, the contractor may work in areas of the building which are not affected by such work. Contractor my work evenings, nights, and weekends at their discretion. No change orders will be entertained for off-hours work.
