CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS Beverly Lake Water Quality Retrofit Division 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS August 2023 WO No – UP3745 SP – 108 1-08.3(1) General (******) Because time is of the essence, diligent and expeditious progress and completion of the Work by the Contract Completion Date is required of the Contractor. Careful, adequate, accurate and complete planning and scheduling of the Work by the Contractor, both prior to the start of, and throughout, construction, is vital to the success of this Project for both the Contractor and the City. The purposes of the schedules and reports include: 1. Ensuring adequate planning and execution of the Work by the Contractor. 2. Assisting the City or its representative in monitoring construction. 3. Assessing the impact of any actual, potential or proposed change, including, but not limited to, the financial impact resulting from schedule changes and changes to the scope of Work. 4. Supporting the basis for construction payments. 5. Planning by City and tenants. 6. Avoiding additional or extra costs or expenses to the City. All schedules will be reviewed by the City and the City’s Representative. The City or City’s Representative’s review of any schedule shall not transfer the Contractor’s responsibilities to the City. Review shall not constitute approval or acceptance of the Contractor's construction means, methods, sequencing, logic, order, precedence and succession of activities or Contractor’s ability to complete the Work in a timely manner. Any mistakes or errors in any schedule, including, but not limited to, mistakes or errors of logic, order, precedence, and duration, are and remain the Contractor's. The City or City’s Representative may, however, comment upon the schedule. The Contractor remains wholly responsible for completing the Work within the Contract duration. Any comments by City or City’s Representative personnel regarding the schedule shall not be construed as approval or ratification, nor shall the Contractor incorporate or change its schedule as a result of City or City’s Representative comments in the absence of an express written directive to that effect. Contractor shall submit, update and maintain schedules as required by the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall provide sufficient material, equipment, and labor to meet the interim milestones, Substantial Completion, Physical Completion and Completion Dates provided by the Contract Documents. The City allocates its resources to a Contract based on the total time allowed in the Contract. The Contractor may submit a schedule indicating Completion Date earlier than the end of Contract Time, but City cannot guarantee its resources will be available to meet such schedule. City shall not pay or be liable for any additional compensation if the Contractor is not able to meet a schedule that indicates a Completion Date earlier than the end of Contract Time. Failure to schedule City furnished or installed materials and Equipment for installation on or after its planned arrival pursuant to the City’s Contract with the supplier or failure to notify the City in writing of tasks dependent upon the fact or date of arrival of such City furnished materials and Equipment, constitute a waiver by Contractor of any Contract Claim arising out of or related to the timeliness of the furnishing or installation of such material and Equipment. All schedules shall allow for timely incorporation of any other's work under separate contract with City and for timely incorporation of any work provided and installed by City. Unless otherwise expressly authorized in writing by the City’s Representative, the Contractor shall integrate the schedules with the Schedule of Values and unit price items so that each construction activity is represented by a dollar value.
