References in the <br />Contract Documents to actions required of Subcontractors, manufacturers, suppliers, or <br />any person other than the Contractor, the City or the City’s Representative shall be <br />interpreted as requiring that the Contractor shall require such Subcontractor, <br />manufacturer, supplier or person to perform the specified action. <br />1-08.3 Progress Schedule <br />1-08.3(1) General Requirements <br />Delete 1-08.3(1) and substitute the following: <br />1-08.3(1) General <br />(******) <br />Because time is of the essence, diligent and expeditious progress and completion of the <br />Work by the Contract Completion Date is required of the Contractor. Careful, adequate, <br />accurate and complete planning and scheduling of the Work by the Contractor, both prior <br />to the start of, and throughout, construction, is vital to the success of this Project for both <br />the Contractor and the City. The purposes of the schedules and reports include: <br />1. Ensuring adequate planning and execution of the Work by the Contractor. <br />2. Assisting the City or its representative in monitoring construction. <br />3. Assessing the impact of any actual, potential or proposed change, including, <br />but not limited to, the financial impact resulting from schedule changes and <br />changes to the scope of Work. <br />4. Supporting the basis for construction payments. <br />5. Planning by City and tenants. <br />6. Avoiding additional or extra costs or expenses to the City. <br />All schedules will be reviewed by the City and the City’s Representative. The City or <br />City’s Representative’s review of any schedule shall not transfer the Contractor’s <br />responsibilities to the City. Review shall not constitute approval or acceptance of the <br />Contractor's construction means, methods, sequencing, logic, order, precedence and <br />succession of activities or Contractor’s ability to complete the Work in a timely manner. <br />Any mistakes or errors in any schedule, including, but not limited to, mistakes or errors <br />of logic, order, precedence, and duration, are and remain the Contractor's. The City or <br />City’s Representative may, however, comment upon the schedule. The Contractor <br />remains wholly responsible for completing the Work within the Contract duration. Any <br />comments by City or City’s Representative personnel regarding the schedule shall not
