Introduction

Designer and Contractors are to use this manual to create construction schedules for Designers and Contractors. Most construction projects involve the reconstruction of existing highways, which means that traffic will be disrupted. It is important that Designers and Contractors understand that work must be planned and executed efficiently to minimize these disruptions. 1.1

Definitions

Activity - A fundamental work element of a project. It contains all the necessary information to perform the required work. It is the lowest level of a work breakdown structure. Actual Start Date - The point in time that work actually started on an activity. Actual Finish Date - The point in time that work actually ended on an activity. Note: in some applications areas, the activity is considered “finished” when work is “substantially complete.” Baseline Schedule - The original plan against which your progress is measured. The baseline represents the original plan at the onset of the project of what you expect to happen. The baseline is saved once the schedule is presented to the stakeholders and other interested parties, and has been agreed to by all parties. Critical Path –The path of activities through a network diagram that determines the project’s earliest finish date. The critical path will generally change from time to time as activities are completed ahead of or behind schedule. Although normally calculated for the entire project, the critical path can also be determined for a milestone or subproject. The critical path is usually defined as those activities with float less than or equal to a specified value, often zero. Critical Path Method (CPM) – A network analysis technique used to predict duration by analyzing which sequence of activities (which path) has the least amount of scheduling flexibility (the least amount of float). Early dates are calculated by means of a forward pass using a specified start date. Late dates are calculated by means of a backward pass starting from a specified completion date (usually the forward pass’s calculated project early finish date). Deliverable – Any measurable, tangible, verifiable outcome, result, or item that must be produced to complete a project or part of a project. Often used more narrowly in reference to an external deliverable, this is a deliverable that is subject to approval by the project sponsor or customer. Duration – The number of working days (not including holidays or other non-working periods) to complete an activity or other project element. Early Dates - Earliest an activity can start or finish based upon relationships and constraints. Calculated by the computer during the forward pass. Filter - A limit on projects or activities that are displayed. Criteria you establish determine which items appear. A filter, once created, can be assigned to layouts. Fragnet – A subdivision of a project network diagram usually representing some portion of project. A Fragnet is provided as part of a Time Impact Evaluation (TIE) Form DC-161. Free Float - The amount an activity can slip without delaying the next activity. This could be important for resource management.

Lane Occupancy – When a Contractor occupies a lane(s) in proceeding with their work. The Contractor will pay a Lane Occupancy Charge (per direction) for the period of time a lane is unavailable to the traveling public beyond the allowable lane closure time limits. Late Dates – “Drop dead dates”. The latest an activity can start or finish without effecting the end date of the project. Calculated by the computer during the backward pass. Milestone - A type of activity used to represent the beginning or the end of a major stage, or an important event in a project. Start and finish milestones cannot have durations. Predecessor - An activity that must occur before another activity. A predecessor activity controls the start or finish date of its successors. An activity can have multiple predecessors. Preliminary Schedule – Initial schedule prior to the baseline schedule reflecting how the contractor plans to proceed with constructing a project. Recovery Plan – Contractor’s plan to bring the project back on schedule. This includes a revised CPM schedule and additional manpower and equipment. Relationships Types Finish to Start - The successor activity can begin only when the current activity completes Finish to Finish – The finish of the successor activity depends on the finish of the current activity Start to Start – The start of the successor activity depends on the start of the current activity Start to Finish – The successor activity cannot finish until the current activity starts Remaining Duration – The time needed to complete an activity. Successor - An activity that must occur after another activity. An activity can have multiple successors, each with a different relationship to it. Every activity must have a successor except the project’s finish milestone. Time Impact Evaluation (TIE) Form DC-186 - A form provided by the NJDOT that facilitates a simplified analysis procedure used to award Contract Time due for delays that were not the responsibility of the Contractor. A fragnet is associated with the modeling of the effects of the delay. A CPM schedule that is able to show the pure CPM calculation differences between a schedule that does not include a delay and one that does include a fragnet modeling the delay. The difference in Contract Time between the non-impacted schedule and that of the schedule with the impact is considered to be the impact of the delay for a potential Contract Time extension. Total Float - The amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project finish date. Updated Schedule – A schedule that truly reflects the current means and method how the project is progressing. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - A deliverable-oriented grouping of project elements, which organizes and defines the total scope of the project. Each descending level represents an increasingly detailed definition of a project component. Working Schedule – A schedule utilized for duration of a project for creation of the baseline schedule and updates. Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013

Work Package - A deliverable at the lowest level of the work breakdown structure. A work package contains activities.

Scheduling Software

The New Jersey Department of Transportation, Capital Program Management has adopted the use of Primavera software in XER format as the standard format for progress schedules. This software and format will be updated as newer versions become available. At Final Design, the Designer will develop a construction schedule for the proposed project. See Appendix A for an example of a Primavera Schedule view. The Contractor will submit a preliminary and baseline construction schedule and submit bi-monthly schedule updates. All construction schedules will conform to the requirements of this manual.

Standard Practices

In developing a schedule, three basic items make CPM scheduling work: Clearly defined activities Realistic duration’s Good logic Other good practices include: Negative lags will not be permitted. Do not use a Finish to Start relationship with a lag. An activity must be added to represent the lag time. A project has one beginning and one end. All activities have a predecessor and successor except the project’s start and finish milestones. No "Open Ends" will be permitted. Durations of work activities do not exceed the update cycle. The Department requires the update cycle to be prepared bi-monthly. "Suspension of Dates" will not be permitted. An activity must be added. If an activity has a Start-to-Start relationship - it is to be closed with a Finish-to-Finish or Finish-to-Start relationship. (No open ends) The completion date of the CPM schedule is the completion date in Subsection 108.10 of the project's Special Provisions, which is be input as a Finish Milestone with a Late Finish Constraint. All intermediate milestones (Interim Completion Dates) required in the Contract are to be shown in proper logical sequence and input as either the “Startno-Earlier-Than” or “Finish-no-Later-Than” date. Mandatory Finish and Mandatory Starts are not to be used. When updating, all "Out of Sequence" activities are to be corrected to reflect the current construction operations. Original durations will not be changed from the approved Baseline Schedule.

Standard Coding

As a means of monitoring progress schedules, the Department has developed with the Consultant and Construction industries common coding structure and procedures to be utilized from design through construction. The Designer and Contractor is required to utilize the Primavera template project containing the latest standard coding provided from the Department’s web site. Details regarding template usage are provided in Appendix C. Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013

Standard Factors

Designers will take into account the following factors when preparing a Construction Schedule: Determine the optimum time to advertise a project, so as to minimize the impacts of seasonal restrictions and thus reduce the overall length of a project’s duration. When possible, schedule the advertisement of a project to allow construction to be completed in a single construction season. Seasonal limitations on work such as concrete construction, HMA paving (especially if restricted to night hours), HMA availability, curb, traffic stripes, landscaping and bridge painting. Utility relocation’s. Treat each utility separately - work on the same pole line must be treated sequentially, not concurrently. No natural gas service interruptions during the winter months (Normally from October 1 to April 1). Confirm dates with Capital Program Support. No water service interruptions during the summer months (Normally from April 1 to September 30). Confirm dates with Capital Program Support. No electrical services interruptions during the summer months. Normally from June 1 through Sept 30 should not be considered for electric outages. This is not only for transmission lines but also distribution lines. Special interruptions of utility services. Utility company customers may restrict when services can be interrupted. This is particularly true with manufacturing customers, and financial service customers. Railroad access restrictions. This should account for how often the RR will likely grant a track outage or other access in a given week, and also for the impacts on contractor productivity. Right-of-way availability (each parcel treated separately). Construction easement restrictions. Work hour restrictions due to staging and traffic volumes. Marine, bridge openings, or railroad traffic. Staged construction. Allowable lane closures along shore routes. These may not be closed from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Concrete curing time. Embankment settlement time. Coordination with other projects. Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013

Page 21

When non-standard concrete or HMA materials are specified, time necessary to perform material mix design approvals. Working drawing preparation, submission and approvals (each one treated separately). Availability, fabrication and delivery of materials. This includes an analysis of any “Buy America/Buy American” requirements. [FHWA approval of a Buy America waiver will take a minimum of 6 months. FHWA will not approve a waiver for Buy America, solely because of the impact to the project schedule from obtaining material from a domestic source]. Permit restrictions (fish spawning, etc.). Work area restrictions (wetlands, historic sites, parkland, etc.). Hazardous material excavation and disposal. Payment restrictions due to limits in multi-year funding. Work restrictions due to local activities, holiday seasons on roads with shopping centers, or in seasonal areas such as shore communities. Impacts to Authorities. (i.e. NJ Turnpike, NJ Highway Authority, South Jersey Transportation Authority etc.) ITS testing The time between substantial completion and final completion accounts for likely corrective action and the seasonal restrictions that may apply to such work.

6.0

Level of Detail Required on a Construction Schedule

The schedule will include, as a minimum, one activity for each discrete component part of each Item scheduled in the Proposal. The Department may allow grouping of similar Items. Utility relocations must show the impacts for each stage (if applicable). It is not sufficient to simply show the utility company’s duration for notice and the duration for the entire relocation work. The schedule must show the need for providing multiple notices, when stage work interrupts the sequence of relocation work, and the impacts of the relocation work to each stage of the contractor’s work.

7.0

Designer Contract Time Determination

A Construction progress schedule establishes a completion date that provides the shortest practical duration of construction to minimize disruption of traffic but still allows the contractor a reasonable amount of time to complete the work at a reasonable cost. Tables A through D, Contractor Production Rates, are to be used as a guide to determine the construction schedule. A detailed breakdown of the bridge items and road items is needed on the Construction progress schedule. This is necessary to determine if increased production rates or additional crews are required to meet a desired completion date. Where ranges of production rates are shown, the lower rates are for two-lane bridges and the higher rates are for bridges with more than two lanes. The Designer will also take into account the complexity of the work, fabrication time, the site conditions, traffic effects and all other factors when choosing a production rate. In Appendix B there is a chart showing the number of days lost per month for weather sensitive activities for roadway (R) and bridge (B). The number of days lost per month for roadway and bridgework is to be adjusted upward in the northern part of the State, and adjusted downward in the southern part of the State. If weekend work is required, the total number of workdays per month must be adjusted. If a different number of working days is used, the Designer is to provide a written explanation with the Construction Progress Schedule. The Designer will also look at the types and classes of work performed Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013

Page 22

during the winter season. Adjustments are to be made based on whether work can be performed during this time frame. The full width of the traveled way and shoulders should be open to traffic whenever conditions permit during a winter shutdown. Consideration is to be given to setting interim completion dates for stages of construction and for portions of the work that significantly affect traffic. 7.1

Risk Assessed Progress Schedule Duration

The Project Manager may require the designer to provide a risk assessed Construction Schedule, using schedule risk analysis. 7.2

Designer Standard Naming of Projects

The Designer is to assign a four-character file name. The first two characters will be the project identifier. The last two digits will be as follows: I0 - Design submission I1 - Design submission revised Etc. F1 - Final submission F2 - Final submission revised Etc. The type of each submission must be clearly labeled in the description field. Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013

Page 23

7.4

Multi - Year Funding

If during development of the Capital Program it is determined that a project may need to be multi-year funded, the Project Manager will provide to the Capital Program Development a breakdown of the estimated construction cost per fiscal year based on the construction staging of the project. The Designer is responsible for developing a cost loaded CPM including the cost breakdown by activity and year. 7.5

Determining Start of Construction:

From Final Design Submission to Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) Submission - is approximately 12 weeks. Add 4 weeks for FHWA full oversight funded projects to allow for Preliminary PS&E review. Additional time may be considered for review and revisions on larger projects and / or projects with outstanding issues at the Final Design Submissions (FDS) (permits, ROW, utilities, etc.). From PS&E Submission to Advertisement - 3 weeks for 100 percent State funded projects, 4 weeks for FHWA alternate procedure (NHS or non-NHS projects, and 5 weeks for other federally funded projects. From Advertising to Receipt of Bids – A minimum of 3 weeks is required for bidding, with additional time allowed for larger or complex projects. * From Receipt of Bids to Award – 15 State Business Days. ** From Award to Construction - Award to Execution of the Contract will vary up to 55 State Business Days. The construction start date of the CPM Schedule is the Contract Start Date (25 calendar days after the execution of the Contract.) ** From Award to Construction: The successful bidder has 14 days to sign the Contract and return it along with the required Performance & Payment Bond. The Commissioner has up to 60 days after receiving it to execute the Contract Award to Execution of the Contract can vary up to 74 days. Therefore, a minimum of 74 days* is the template duration to be shown on the Schedule for Administrative Activity A300. As per the Standard Specifications, Commencement of Work is to begin within 25 days of Contract execution. Therefore, the Construction Start Date (Milestone activity M500) shown on the Contractors Baseline Schedule is 25 days* from the execution date of the Contract. *In general, shorter time frames are appropriate for 100 percent State funded projects. ** The Bureau of Construction Management should be consulted by the Project Manager to verify that the time frames used by the Designer are appropriate.

Acceleration of Construction Schedules

To reduce construction time to lessen the impact on the traveling public and the community where the highway construction is scheduled, the following methods may be considered: Increased Production Rates Incentive/Disincentive (I/D) A+B Bidding

The acceleration of project schedules may be warranted when: There is high road user cost as calculated in accordance with the Road User Cost Manual resulting from delays or diversions from construction activity. There are seasonal requirements on highways leading to points of recreational interest, resort areas, vacation areas, regional retail centers, major public facilities, etc. The work involves significant impact on the community such as the need for night work, detours, and disruption to public transit, etc. The project is of an emergency nature or is required to meet a critical safety need. It is essential the project be completed to allow for a specific opening date or construction of adjacent projects. There is a significant reduction in user delays after construction is completed. The construction schedule can be reduced to the nearest full construction season.

In addition, the following conditions must be met if acceleration of the project schedule is to be considered: R.O.W. availability, utility agreements and permits will be available/completed by the advertisement date. Sufficient project funding is available on multiyear funded projects. Railroad work is not involved. The benefits of accelerating the project outweigh the additional construction costs. Local community involvement When accelerating project schedules, in addition to the progress schedule for normal times and rates, a second progress schedule will be prepared reflecting the accelerated schedule and rates that shows the work being achieved by the accelerated completion date. 7.8

Increased Production Rates

To reduce the duration of a project, increased production rates may be used. Increased production rates may be obtained by assuming the use of multiple crews, multiple shifts, and/or overtime. Such assumptions are not always practical, and should be only be used with the concurrence of the Bureau of Construction Management. If longer than 8-hour day and or accelerated production rates are used, the Designer must submit an explanation with the construction schedule. Increased production rate will usually result in an increased estimated cost for the project, and Designer will account for and explain the cost impact with the Construction Cost Estimate. A production rate of 1.20 times the Designer’s established standard production rate will be utilized to establish the completion date for accelerated projects. The designer will analyze the staging and work areas of the project to ensure the increased production rates do not apply to confine areas where the rate would not be achievable. Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013

Page 30

7.9

Designer Narrative

The Designer will submit a written narrative with each submission of a Progress Schedule. Included in this narrative will be: Anticipated production rates Anticipated workforce (i.e. number of crews, size, crew type etc.) Anticipated work during the Winter Season (December through March inclusive) and the number of workdays for Bridge and Roadwork. Permit requirements Utility requirements ROW requirements Community commitments Lead time for special materials Detours and anticipated timeframe Any critical milestones (i.e. road/ramp openings, critical stages etc.) Any anticipated problems meeting the schedule (ROW, Utilities etc.) Description of any acceleration applied to the project’s schedule The number of restricted working days for each operation as shown in Appendix B.

Contractor Procedure

8.1

Contractor Standard Naming of Projects

For projects under 1 year in duration, the contractor will assign a four-character file name. The first three characters will be the project identifier. The last digit will be as follows: 0 will be the working schedule 1 - Baseline 1 2 - Baseline 2 etc. A - First update B - Second update etc. For projects over 1 year in duration, the contractor will assign a four-character file name. The first two characters will be the project identifier. The last two digits will be as follows: 00 will be the working schedule 01 - Baseline 1 02 - Baseline 2 etc. AA - First update AB - Second update etc. BA - 27th update Working Schedule = XXX0 8.2

Time Impact Evaluation (TIE)

The Contractor is required to provide a Time Impact Evaluation (TIE) Form DC-186 if the Contractor proposes that an impact has delayed the Contractor and additional Contract Time is proposed to be necessary by the Contractor. The TIE Form DC-186 requires the submission of fragnet. The fragnet models the impact to the schedule. The fragnet should consist of a subset of the activities in the project schedule that were involved directly with the delay. The delay should be described as simply as possible with the fewest number of activities and relationships added in order to Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013

Page 31

substantially reflect the impact of the delay to the schedule. Existing relationships and activities should be left intact wherever passable. It is expected that the added relationships will cause some of the existing relationships to become redundant to the CPM calculation but relationships should only be deleted where the retention of that relationship would negate the actual work restraints on the project. It is acceptable to add a delay as a successor to an activity when in fact, that delay occurred during the activity and delayed its completion. It is also acceptable to break the existing delayed activity into two activities, with one representing the planned work before the delay and the other the planned work after the delay as long as the combined durations of the split activities equals the original duration of the activity. The RE should review, negotiate (if necessary,) and approve the fragnet before proceeding with the further review of the schedule. Appendix D provides sample TIEs.

Appendix C Procedure for using the Construction Scheduling Template containing Standard Coding for Designers and Contractors C.1

The file is a “Back Up” of a Template to be utilized by Designers and Contractors. The file can be accessed utilizing Primavera P6.

C.2

The project is to be “Restored” to a suitable folder within your computer system from which you will create the schedule. Naming and coding of the project is to be in accordance with the Capital Program Management Construction Scheduling Standard Coding and Procedures for Designers and Contractors.

C.3

Contained in this Template are the following:

C.3.1 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) (Each activity in the schedule will be assigned to the appropriate WBS element)

C.3.1.1 Milestone Activities: Milestones M100, M200, M300, M500, M900, M950 is to be utilized for every project. M700 is to be utilized if an interim date will be or is part of the Contract (expand for other milestones). If a Milestone activity will not be or is not part of the Contract – it is to be deleted for that project. Milestone Activity numbers and Descriptions are not to be changed except for Intermediate Milestones for Stages, Interim Completion dates and ROW availability dates.

C3.1.2

Construction

Construction is broken down by stage and then by area Stages were developed using 1, 2, 3 etc then further broken down 1A, 1B, 1C etc. (i.e. Use Stage 1 for Stage 1 Activities, Use Stage1A for Stage 1A activities etc.) Areas are user defined and coding is to be utilized as shown in the Capital Program Management Construction Scheduling Standard Coding and Procedures for Designers and Contractors.

C3.1.3 Procurement: Procurement WBS is utilized for all submission and procurement activities. C3.2 Design (Design/Build only) C.4

This can be deleted if it is not a Design/Build project Activities: Each activity will begin with an alpha character. The character is user assigned. Each activity will be assigned (as a minimum) a WBS structure, responsibility, project area, class of work, type of work and calendar.

C.5

Calendars: The following calendars are given in the template: State Business Days Deciduous trees Broad leaf trees 7 Day work week

They are not to be changed in any way or deleted. Calendars can be added as determined by the user. Construction Scheduling Manual, 2013
