Schedule Reporting Guidelines




Reason for rejection of schedule report:
  • Failure of the Project Scheduler to “schedule” the project, as of the data date.
  • Failure to attach a copy of the complete Scheduling/Leveling Report (SCHEDLOG.TXT file generated by Primavera software application).
  • Any activities without predecessors, or activities without successors, appearing in the Scheduling/Leveling Report with the exception of the first and last activity in the schedule.
  • Any activity constraints appearing in the Scheduling/Leveling Report that have not been approved in writing by the EIC, or that are not specifically allowed by this specification.
  • Any Activities with Actual Dates > Data Date appearing in the Scheduling/Leveling Report.
  • Any Milestone Activities with invalid relationships appearing in the Scheduling/Leveling Report.
  • Failure to have a clearly defined Critical Path from the Data date to the last activity in the schedule, using the Longest Path method. This would reflect logic errors in the project schedule. Failure to attach the schedule Narrative and required appendices.
  • Failure to attach the Claim Digger Report (generated by the Department‟s Primavera scheduling software application) providing a comparison between this Progress Schedule submission and the previous Progress Schedule submission. (Not required for baseline submissions)
  • If any of these deficiencies are found, the Contractor‟s submission shall be considered deficient, and Engineer will notify the Contractor immediately by return E-mail of the rejection of the schedule submittable.


Department Review and Acceptance of Progress Schedules.
  • The Engineer will review the Monthly Progress Schedule submissions and will prepare a written response (Progress Schedule Review Report) to the Contractor‟s submission within five (5) State Business Days following receipt of the Contractor‟s complete schedule submission.
  • The Engineer will either “accept” the schedule, “accept as noted”, or “reject” the schedule for re-submittal by the Contractor.
  • If the Progress Schedule submission is not in compliance with contract requirements, the Engineer may reject the submittal and shall forward any comments and requests for schedule revisions to the Project Scheduler with a copy to the Contractor.
  • The Project Scheduler shall address all comments in writing and/or make the requested revisions, and resubmit the revised schedule within three (3) State Business days of the Engineer‟s reply.
  • If the Engineer determines the revised submission still does not meet the contract requirements, any further revisions required thereafter shall also be submitted for acceptance within (3) business days of the request for revisions by the Engineer.
