Project Baseline Schedule Update Requirements Sample Clauses

Project Baseline Schedule Update Requirements. Developer shall provide schedule updates that comply with all PBS requirements. Data dates for schedule updates shall be the day after the progress period closes. No changes in activity durations, calendar assignments, logic ties, or constraints will be allowed without TxDOT’s written Approval. Developer shall show actual progress for each activity in the schedule updates such as: a) Actual start and finish dates for completed activities; b) Actual start dates, physical percent complete and remaining duration for activities in progress; c) Projected sequences of activities for future Work; d) Revised relationships and durations for unfinished activities, if warranted; and e) A well-defined Critical Path. For each schedule update, Developer shall ensure that: a) Planned budget values match total Project cost or revised total Project cost inclusive of all authorized Change Orders; and b) All planning changes, adjustments, or revisions in sequencing and timing of the remaining Work are accurately represented. If Work is performed out of sequence, Developer is required to implement logic changes consistent with the retained logic method of scheduling to allow the out-of-sequence Work to proceed. Through schedule updates, Developer may demonstrate proposed modifications to planned Work that require adding or deleting activities, changing activity descriptions, or revising activity durations or logic that are consistent with the following requirements: a) No changes are to disrupt the integrity or comparative relationship between current and previously approved PBSs or schedule updates; b) An activity ID can only be used once (i.e., do not delete an activity then create a new activity at a later date utilizing the same activity ID); c) Activity descriptions may be revised for clarification, but are not to be altered to represent a different scope than originally intended. For example, an earthwork activity may be further defined by adding station limits but the description cannot be changed to concrete paving with related logic ties; and d) If changes impacting the Critical Path result in an extension of the Substantial Completion Deadline, beyond contractual limits, Developer shall be required to submit a time impact analysis.
