1.0 PREFACE

In general, The Architect and their consultants will provide construction phase services related to interpretation
and clarification of technical documents, and review of submittals. The Project Manager will provide overall
coordination and specific services related to contract administration.

As a number of outside individuals, i.e. prime contractors, sub-contractors, principals, and field representatives,
are introduced to the construction program, it is necessary to establish a common tool to be utilized by all
personnel associated with the construction program. In order to avoid confusion, lack of direction or excessive
directions, this manual has been prepared to clarify areas of responsibilities and lines of communication between
the various parties, and to establish procedures that will be utilized for all aspects of the construction program as
it relates to activities between the ARCHITECT, CONTRACTOR, OWNER, COMMISSIONING AGENT,
COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER.

This manual is intended to supplement


the Contract Documents and not to
modify them.

In the event of any conflict between


the Contract Documents and this
manual, the Contract Documents will
govern.

Page 15
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL
PROJECT

9.0 CHANGES TO THE WORK

9.1 RFP - Any modifications of work which involves a change in the Contract Documents will be requested
by an RFP (Request for Proposal) and authorized by a Change Order. (Note: An exception may be
utilized in a case where time is critical in order to avoid a delay in the project.) The RFP process is
designed to expedite the approval process while at the same time provide documentation of the amount
of change and authority to proceed with the work. A copy of a blank RFP is attached (Attachment C).
A sample Change Order form is also included (Attachment D).

9.2 RFP LOG – Architect, Contractor and BLSD Project Manager should each separately maintain a log of
all RFP's for review at the weekly meeting, however, BLSD Project Manager will maintain the official
RFP log. A Change Order Log will be utilized by BLSD Project Manager to record the status of the
RFP’s and Change Orders.

9.3 RFP PROCESSING - The normal procedure for making changes in the work will be as follows:

A. An RFP may be requested by anyone, but will be issued by BLSD Project Manager in
conjunction with the Architect, for pricing by the Contractor. An information copy of the RFP
will be sent to Architect at the same time it is sent to the Contractor.

B. In order to avoid delay in approval, Contractor's proposal shall be accompanied by a complete


breakdown, including detailed material and labor for the General Contractor and for each
subcontractor involved in the change.

C. Within seven (7) days, Contractor should submit to BLSD Project Manager the original RFP
with the proposed cost and time, if any, along with a detailed breakdown of such costs as
required by the Contract.

D. When BLSD Project Manager receives Contractor proposed price, it is reviewed by BLSD
Project Manager and the Architect. If they concur with Contractor's proposed amount, they will
recommend that the Owner approve the RFP and authorize BLSD Project Manager to prepare a
Change Order. The Change Order shall be expedited and when fully executed, sent to
Contractor authorizing him to proceed with the work.

E. If BLSD Project Manager and/or Architect does not agree with the price, they will notify
Contractor and all parties will expeditiously review methods of pricing.

F. If the parties still cannot agree on the price, and the Owner feels the work must be done, The
Owner may accept a Not-to-Exceed price and BLSD Project Manager will direct Contractor to
perform the work on a time and material basis. The Contractor and Subcontractors must submit
cost documentation for each T & M change. (See the "Time and Materials Daily Accounting
Report Requirements" Attachment E.)

G. If the RFP is rejected, or voided, BLSD Project Manager will note it on the RFP and send
copies to the appropriate parties.

CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL
PROJECT

9.4. CHANGE ORDERS

A. Approved RFP’s will be incorporated into a formal Change Order that will be prepared by
BLSD Project Manager prior to the monthly billing cycle. The Contractor can not bill for work
on an individual RFP until it has been incorporated into a formal Change Order.

B. The Change Order will be sent to Contractor and Architect for review and signature. The
Contractor and Architect are to sign, date and return the Change Order to BLSD Project
Manager. All signing parties will receive a fully executed copy distributed by BLSD Project
Manager.

10.0 TIME EXTENSIONS

10.1 TIME EXTENSION CATEGORIES - The Contract Documents, establish the parameters for time
extensions, justification for time extensions and the period during which the request may be made.

For the purpose of this section, time extensions are divided into two basic categories:
Category A - time extensions as a result of change to the contract.
Category B - time extensions as a result of other factors.

10.2 TIME EXTENSION REQUEST - There are two separate methods for acknowledging time extensions,
which are described as follows:

For Category A - Time Extensions: Contractor should indicate the required time to do the work on the
appropriate RFP form as needed. If BLSD Project Manager and Architect concur with the amount of
time requested, they will make the appropriate recommendation to the Owner. To receive a time
extension, Contractor must demonstrate that the work requested by the RFP will impact the critical path
of the approved schedule. If BLSD Project Manager does not concur with the time requested, they will
review the time with Contractor and determine an appropriate amount of time to allow (if any) for the
particular work and will make a recommendation for the Owner's action.

For Category B - Time Extensions: For items other than items on a Change Order to be made in writing
to BLSD Project Manager no more than five (5) days after the beginning of the delay. In case of a
continuous delay, only one (1) written claim is necessary for advising BLSD Project Manager of the
potential delay and one (1) claim is necessary at the end of the delay to verify the actual time requested.
The Contract Documents include a discussion of loss from inclement weather, consequently time
extensions will not be granted for normal inclement weather but will be for weather delays that exceed
normal inclement weather and other factors.

10.3 TIME EXTENSION REVIEW - All requests for extension of time will be directed to BLSD Project
Manager with copy to Architect. They will review the time extension request in relationship to the
applicable factors and will be prepared to advise Contractor as to the amount of time that may be
granted. Upon review of the recommendation, a letter will be sent to Contractor acknowledging the
time required and the justification for granting the time and/or rejecting the time as the case may be. If
a time extension is granted, for the contract in whole or part, a Change Order will be prepared to include
revised completion dates, areas/limits of partial extensions and revised time left to complete the project.

Page 18
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL
PROJECT

11.0 PAYMENTS

11.1 PAYMENT CLAUSES - The Payment clauses require the Owner to make progress payments for
completed and accepted work at least monthly on estimates approved by the Architect and Construction
Project Manager.

11.2 PROGRESS INSPECTION - The date for progress inspection for payment purposes will be mutually
agreed upon. Where work has been performed during the previous 30 days, reviews will be scheduled
on approximately a one month repeating cycle.

11.3 SCHEDULE OF VALUES - As is required by the Contract Documents, Contractor shall submit his cost
value for each activity which must correspond with the activities of the CPM schedule and subdivided
as appropriate (see "Schedule" section). The approved cost values (Schedule of Values) will be the
basis for processing of future payment requests.

11.4 PAYMENT REVIEW - Prior to each monthly progress review meeting, Contractor, on a copy of the
previous month's cost report, should note the percentage complete of the various activities. Contractor
should be prepared to substantiate his claims as to the actual work completed. No payment for stored
materials, shall be allowed. At the monthly progress review meeting, BLSD Project Manager and the
Architect will review the marked up pay request along with an update of the time scale network drawing
to verify Contractor's request.

11.5 PAYMENT APPLICATION - The payment application will include the total amount of the contract,
total amount earned to date, total amount previously paid, total retention withheld, change orders,
amount left unearned, the Architect's approval, BLSD Project Manager's approval, Contractor's
approval. BLSD Project Manager will generate the computer printed payment application from

12.0 WAGE/HOUR AND EEO COMPLIANCE

12.1 MINIMUM WAGE RATES LIST:

A. It is required that these be posted promptly at the site when work commences and remain posted
throughout the period of construction until final completion.

B. Under the provisions of ORS 279C.800, the hourly wages paid to laborers, workers, or
mechanics upon all public works of this State and upon work contemplated in this Contract,
shall be not less than the prevailing rate of wage for an hour's work in the same trade or
occupation in the locality within the State where such labor and work herein contemplated is
to be performed, and established by the Bureau of Labor and Industries.

All laborers, workers or mechanics shall be paid not less than the current minimum hourly
rates of wage which are incorporated herein by reference, provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed to prohibit the Contractor, Subcontractor or other person
doing or contracting to do the whole or any part of the work under this Contract, from paying
any such laborers, workers or mechanics wages in excess of the hourly minimum rate above
specified.

C. File the “Public Work Contract Fee Information Form” along with required fee.

Page 20
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL
PROJECT

13.0 QUALITY CONTROL

13.1 SITE OBSERVATIONS - BLSD Project Manager may provide a Field Observer who will be employed
during the Construction with the responsibility for observing the construction and reporting. The
Architect has the responsibility for observations to determine whether the work observed is in
conformance with the Contract Documents. Neither the Owner, BLSD Project Manager or the
Architect will be responsible for construction means, methods, sequence or procedures, safety
precautions, and programs in connection with the work.

13.2 CODE INSPECTIONS - Contractor has the obligation to obtain the proper inspections as prescribed by
the applicable codes and in accordance with the Contract Documents.

13.3 CONTRACTOR TESTING - An independent test lab will be employed directly by the Owner for
testing as required by the Contract Documents or as determined necessary by Architect. The test lab
will deliver, if possible, copies of the test report to BLSD Project Manager within 24 hours. Any
retesting will be at the Contractor’s expense.

13.4 CONTRACTOR INSPECTION - An independent inspection agency will be employed directly by the
Owner for special inspections as required by the Contract Documents or as determined necessary by the
Architect. An independent inspection agency may be employed directly by Contractor for the
Contractor's own purposes. Any Owner furnished special inspections that require re-inspection will be
at the Contractor’s expense.

13.5 REJECTION - Should a case arise where a deficiency is discovered and a part of the work is rejected,
the following procedure will be implemented:

1) If the work, in the opinion of Architect requires rejection, he shall immediately advise
Contractor and present the pertinent facts as required.

2) Architect will make an investigation of the problem and review all of the pertinent facts with
Contractor at the job site.

3) After consultation with Contractor and if an order of rejection is deemed appropriate, Architect
will then issue an order of rejection which will consist of three elements as follows:

A. A concise description which clearly and thoroughly defines work which is rejected.

B. Reference to the provisions of the contract which are deficient.

C. A determination of the amount of time in which the deficiency will be made good in
order that there not be a delay in the work (note: This amount of time is not a time
extension, but merely a time span in which Contractor will correct the work in order to
avoid a delay to the Project or said work shall be corrected by the Owner at
Contractor's expense).

4) Three methods exist for dissolution of orders of rejection:

A. The Contractor will make good at his expense the defective work.

Page 21
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL
PROJECT

B. The Owner at the Contractor's expense, will make good the defective work.

C. The defective work remains as is with an equitable adjustment by reduction of the


contract amount (this would be accomplished by a change order).

13.6 FINAL INSPECTIONS AND TESTS - Construction Contract Clauses:

A. Contractor will give notice in writing when a final inspection is desired.

B. See Specification Sections for general itemization of tests to be performed under terms
of this contract. Testing of mechanical and electrical equipment is listed and itemized
under applicable portions of the project specifications. It is imperative that all tests,
with the exception of those specified to be performed during final inspection, be
completed before the project is considered "fully completed and ready for final
inspection and tests."

C. Air and Water Balancing (when required by contract): Completion of all these
requirements is essential before the project can be considered to be "fully" completed
and ready for final inspection.

D. See Also - "Contract Closeout" Section 017800

Page 22
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL
PROJECT

14.0 SCHEDULING

14.1 BAR CHART METHOD - The project will be scheduled using the bar chart method. In addition to the
time scale for construction activities, a procurement and shop drawing schedule will also be included. It
is the responsibility of Contractor to develop this schedule for the project in accordance with the
Contract Documents and the following time frames:

1) Within 10 days after Notice to Proceed, Contractor will submit his CPM schedule to BLSD
Project Manager.

2) The Project Manager will review Contractor's schedule. If required, a meeting will be held
between the Project Manager and Contractor to resolve any conflicts between Contractor's
schedule and the overall Project Construction. Contractor will revise his schedule and will
submit his revised schedule to BLSD Project Manager within 5 days.

3) Within 10 calendar days following Notice to Proceed, Contractor will submit a Schedule of
Values for review by the Project Manager. The Schedule of Values will allocate a dollar value
(cost) for each activity of the Detailed Construction Network.

4) If needed, the Contractor will participate in a conference with the Construction Manager and
the Architect to review, evaluate and approve the Schedule of Values.

5) Within 5 calendar days following acceptance of the Schedule of Values, the Contractor will
provide two (2) copies of the Detailed Construction Schedule, and the Schedule of Values to
Architect and Contractor for final review and approval. The approved Detailed Construction
Schedule will then be the schedule which Contractor will use in planning, organizing, directing,
coordinating, performing and executing the work.

14.2 PROGRESS REVIEW - Once a month the Contractor's Representative, the Architect, and BLSD
Project Manager will meet at the site to review the status of the work. The review will include the
schedule status update.

14.3 SCHEDULE GUIDELINES - In an effort to assist in developing the Construction Schedule, the
following guidelines have been outlined.

First, determine the overall approach to the project, then subdivide the project into schedule headings.
Typically, division will be along the lines of location (areas), trade, or project phase. Further
subdivisions can be made by taking a trade within a location, a project phase within a trade, a location
within a phase, etc.

Once a project is subdivided, each activity should confine itself to one subheading where this is
possible.

Several "rules" or principles are applicable to the identification of an activity. An activity must be (or
have):

1) Unambiguous - clean and not subject to conflicting interpretations as to what is to be done,


where it is to be done, and who is to do it.

Page 23
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL
PROJECT

2) Finite - easily identifiable beginning and ending points.

3) Action Oriented - purpose of an activity should be achievement of a specific result (or results),
such as floor slab, a successful test, or a decision.

4) Results Oriented - purpose of an activity should be achievement of a specific result (or results),
such as floor slab, a successful test, or a decision.

5) Unique - work included in an activity should not be included in any other activity.

6) Collectively Complete - all of the project work should be included in the network of activities.
Since activities are to be cost loaded, it should be asked if the activities represent all the money
in the project. If not, then add the necessary activities until the total project costs are included.
Ongoing functions, such as supervision or security need not be displayed.

7) Single Point of Responsibility - in general, an activity should be the responsibility of one person
or organization entity.

Activities should be arranged and display precedence relationships. The network is to be time scaled
based on calendar days. Be aware when an activity is taking place and allow sufficient time in the
activity duration to include holidays and weather.

Activities should not have a duration of over fourteen (14) days, except fabrication and delivery
activities or approved by BLSD Project Manager. If an activity is longer than fourteen (14) days, it
should be broken down into more detail. The primary reason for this is so that dollars can be properly
distributed throughout the network and so that progress may adequately be determined.
