CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS <br />LS47-Beverly Lake Sewer Replacement Division 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS January 30, 2025 <br />WO No – UP3529 SP – 101 <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 <br />be construed as approval or ratification, nor shall the Contractor incorporate or change <br />its schedule as a result of City or City’s Representative comments in the absence of an <br />express written directive to that effect. <br />Contractor shall submit, update and maintain schedules as required by the Contract <br />Documents. <br />The Contractor shall provide sufficient material, equipment, and labor to meet the interim <br />milestones, Substantial Completion, Physical Completion and Completion Dates <br />provided by the Contract Documents. The City allocates its resources to a Contract <br />based on the total time allowed in the Contract. The Contractor may submit a schedule <br />indicating Completion Date earlier than the end of Contract Time, but City cannot <br />guarantee its resources will be available to meet such schedule. City shall not pay or be <br />liable for any additional compensation if the Contractor is not able to meet a schedule <br />that indicates a Completion Date earlier than the end of Contract Time. <br />Failure to schedule City furnished or installed materials and Equipment for installation <br />on or after its planned arrival pursuant to the City’s Contract with the supplier or failure <br />to notify the City in writing of tasks dependent upon the fact or date of arrival of such <br />City furnished materials and Equipment, constitute a waiver by Contractor of any <br />Contract Claim arising out of or related to the timeliness of the furnishing or installation <br />of such material and Equipment. All schedules shall allow for timely incorporation of any <br />other's work under separate contract with City and for timely incorporation of any work <br />provided and installed by City. Unless otherwise expressly authorized in writing by the <br />City’s Representative, the Contractor shall integrate the schedules with the Schedule of <br />Values and unit price items so that each construction activity is represented by a dollar <br />value. <br />Float in a progress schedule belongs to the City. <br />Subcontractors shall review all schedules prior to submission to the City and City’s <br />Representative. At the City’s option and sole discretion, City may require Contractor to <br />obtain written acceptance of each schedule by Subcontractors as practical and feasible, <br />as the schedule relates to Subcontractors’ work. <br />Contractor shall not schedule any activity with an unrealistic, unduly long, or unduly short <br />duration. Contractor shall use its best efforts in good faith to set reasonable durations <br />for all activities. Contractor shall not attempt to “grab the Float” or make an effort to use <br />Float in the Progress Schedule for the benefit of the Contractor, rather than the benefit <br />of the Project. Contractor shall use its best efforts in good faith to minimize <br />dependencies, minimize the number of critical paths, and schedule the Project to be <br />complete as expeditiously as reasonably possible.
