108.03
Items into component activities in order to meet the duration requirements of this
paragraph.
2. Early Completion Schedule. An Early Completion Schedule is defined as a
baseline schedule or update schedule which anticipates completion of all work
prior to the Completion Date established by the contract documents and the
Contractor submits as an Early Completion Schedule. In the event that an Early
Completion Schedule is accepted, the Engineer will initiate a change order
amending the Completion Date to the finish date shown on the accepted Early
Completion Schedule. The amended Completion Date will be effective upon
execution of that change order and all contract provisions concerning the
Completion Date such as incentives, disincentives, excusable delays, compensable
delays, and liquidated damages will be measured against the amended Completion
Date. The Contractor may elect not to execute the change order amending the
Completion Date; however, in so doing, the Contractor waives its rights to delay
damages in meeting the projected early Completion Date.
3. Updated Progress Schedule. Submit an updated progress schedule when
ordered by the Engineer. The Engineer may request an updated progress schedule
when progress on the work has fallen more than 14 calendar days behind the latest
accepted progress schedule. Information in the updated schedule must include a
"% work completed" value for each activity.
4. Recovery Schedule. If the progress schedule projects a finish date for the
Project more than 14 calendar days later than the Completion Date, submit a
revised schedule showing a plan to finish by the Completion Date. The
Department will withhold Estimates until the Engineer accepts the revised
schedule. The Engineer will use the schedule to evaluate time extensions and
associated costs requested by the Contractor.
108.03 Prosecution and Progress. Start the Work according to 108.02.
Notify the Engineer at least 24 hours before starting the Work. If the prosecution
of the Work is suspended, notify the Engineer a minimum of 24 hours in advance
of resuming operations.
Pursue the Work diligently and continuously as to complete the Project by the
Completion Date.
108.04 Limitation of Operations. Limit operations to prevent unnecessary
inconvenience to the traveling public. If the Engineer concludes that the extent of
the Contractor’s Work unnecessarily inconveniences the public or concludes
limiting operations are necessary to protect the existing or new construction from
damage, the Engineer will require the Contractor to finish portions of Work in
progress before starting new Work.
108.05 Character of Workers, Methods, and Equipment. Provide personnel
with sufficient skills and experience to perform assigned tasks.
If the Engineer gives written notification that specific Contractor or
subcontractor personnel are improperly performing the Work, intemperate,
disorderly, or creating a hostile work environment, remove the identified personnel
from the Project. Do not allow removed personnel to return to the Project without
the Engineer’s approval.
