Airport Parking Facility
Workforce/subcontractor schedule
-task must start date/must finish date,
-task time duration, should be less than time between must start and must finish
-manpower needed for task
-subcontractors responsible for task
-coordination of multiple subcontractors for task
Equipment schedule
-task equipment needs
-task equipment duration, may or may not be equal to task time duration
-task equipment duration that may have some time component shared by other non-related tasks.
Materials and components schedule
-task material needs - quantity take-off from bid estimate
-on-time site availability
-manufacturer, product samples, mock-up and test data submitals approval schedule before deliver
Inspection schedule
-inspection procedures prior to closing or concealing installations
-scheduled work prior to inspection
-scheduled work after satisfactory inspection
Cash flow/payment voucher
-scheduled work completed for next payment voucher period deadline
-scheduled work completed after next payment voucher period deadline.
-positive or negative dollar value difference between schedule of values based payment voucher and GC's internal value or direct cost of payment voucher work.
Workforce/subcontractor;
-Identify subcontracts,
-required documentation, submitals and inspections.
-Identify cash flow demands.
-Equipment only subcontracts, rental equipment and or equipment hire with operator.
For example sub-grade utilities; electric utility, gas utility, telephone utility agree to install system in trench provided by GC, who then subcontracts for equipment hire with operator to excavate and fill trench after installation, GC to provide survey crew reference lines, points and datum, and fill materials including bedding stone dust
-Labor only subcontracts, GC provide materials and equipment except small hand tools.
For example masonry; GC provide concrete footing ready for masonry work, survey crew reference points, datum and lines, concrete masonry units delivered to site adjacent to footing, masonry, reinforcing bar and horizontal reinforcing truss, mortar materials including, cement, sand and potable water at agreed location for subs., mix crew and mixer, sub,. provides all labor, handtools, mixer, troughs, bobcat (for transporting mortar from mix area to use area).
-Material only subcontracts, material delivered to site and or pick-up by GC, specialized off site component fabrication.
For example manholes, inlets...; subgrade utility contractor provide labor, equipment, fill material..., GC provides subgrade storm system components including any specialized fabrication, cut-outs, gaskets, snorkels..., from manufacturer or supplier under separate contract with delivery to site near point of use.
-Complete labor, equipment & material subcontracts, GC provides location ready for complete install by sub., all components, materials, equipment and labor for a complete installation provided by sub.
For example elevators; GC provide elevator shaft structure with coordinated structural attachment for rail system, mechanical room, power sub panel and disconnect, and shaft roof load points, elevator sub., provides complete installation including cab, controller, doors, hydraulic system, permit, call inspections and warranty including 2 to 3 year contract for service.
Equipment;-Subcontactor on site equipment needs;
-security,
-storage,
-staging,
-conflicts,
-duplication and or shared equipment.
-General Contractor on site equipment needs,
-subcontractor use of GC equipment.
Materials;
-Subcontractor on site material needs, and disposal
-Subcontractor controlled materials
-General Contractor controlled materials
Inspection schedule;
-Public agency required inspections.
-3rd party inspections
Construction sites when run efficiently require materials and components to be available "just in time".
On site delivery schedules are driven by the on site work needs, and availability of on site secure storage, and need to minimize handling.
The earliest and latest date for on site delivery becomes the critical organizing feature of the supply stream; storm sewer manholes will have a setting date based on grading and trenching activity, the manhole requires a crane or track hoe with hoist chain to position, the supplier must schedule manufacture including side cut out locations and top cone type for delivery.
Projects typically have multiple sub-contractors, the organization, scheduling and interactions between sub-contractors can either drive the subcontractors into conflict or cooperation with each other.
Clear lines of responsibility should be part of the individual sub-contracts with clear definitions of parts of the work that will by necessity have more than one sub-contractor working on a task at the same time for example;
Placing multiple conduits and pipe in the same trench at different levels by plumbing sub, electrical sub, telecom sub, fuel gas sub, will require coordination of survey crew, excavator, engineering testing sub, and the utility installation crews.
The work of each subcontractor may be separated into a subset of tasks with dependencies and precedents linking the task to the work of other subcontractors. The task subsets will also have material and component demands.
Depending on the subcontractors contracted scope of work, materials and components needed for each task will ordered by the GC or sub. The GC can control and schedule other dependent task and subcontractors through monitoring the materials and component submittal delivery and order process.
Once firm task must start, must finish dates have been established, the GC can then work back from earliest (schedule start date plus task duration time) possible date for completion of material or component installation;
-work complete, inspected and ready for next task (date and time)
-work complete ready for inspection (date and time)
-work in progress (duration period, date and time to date and time)
-work start (date and time)
-materials, components, workforce and equipment on site
-material and components ordered and scheduled for delivery
-materials and components submittal approval received by GC
-materials and components submittal to Arch/Eng
-materials and components submittal received by GC from manufacturer/supplier
-specification data submitted by GC for availability/cost delivery schedule
Assume 9 month project schedule, Using MS Project allocate resources including workforce, equipment and materials for tasks:
Mobilization through establish rough grade including sub-grade utilities.
Us MS Project calender feature and or excel to prepare weekly resource demands;
-Workforce/subcontractors
-Survey crew
-Engineering testing
-Permit official call inspections
-Equipment (graders, backhoe, tri-axle dump truck. bucket truck, trash pump, auger,...)
-Materials (stone, fill, supersilt fence, conduit, storm sewer,...
-Temporary Facilities (trailer, WC, electric, water,...)
Accuracy in resource quantity it not necessary at this stage, sequence is more important. Assume all work by subcontractors.
Next week quantity take-off, for bid estimate, for material and component schedule.

Assignment;
Cash flow; Assume payment voucher each month (last day of month), with voucher payment turn around of two weeks (mid next month), and subcontractor payment two weeks latter (last day of month).
Using weekly massing on the various schedules as analogous to dollar value, produce a chart showing dollar value for work on site (sum of workforce, materials and equipment).
Discuss time shift effect on voucher payment and subcontractor payment on project cash flow.
The analogy is not truly correct, all activities don't have equal dollar value, but useful for a generalized view of cash flow.
Class 10
Airport Parking Facility Materials and Components;
Construction sites when run efficiently require materials and components to be available "just in time".
On site delivery schedules are driven by the on site work needs, and availability of on site secure storage, and need to minimize handling.
The earliest and latest date for on site delivery becomes the critical organizing feature of the supply stream; storm sewer manholes will have a setting date based on grading and trenching activity, the manhole requires a crane or track hoe with hoist chain to position, the supplier must schedule manufacture including side cut out locations and top cone type for delivery.
Assignment; Identify materials and components required for the work of the contract. Create a chronology for material delivery; earliest date for on site delivery, latest date for on site available for use.
Don't worry about quantity, but consider relative magnitude of the different elements; soils, stone and paving material have a larger volume than light poles.
Delivery and storage of the large volume elements will have a greater site organization implication.
For class 11 we will be returning to Gould and Joyce; Chapter 11.
It may be helpful to have a quick read through of chapter 11 for some insight into the week 12 assignment.
Class 11
Airport Parking Facility
Projects typically have multiple sub-contractors, this week we will review the organization, scheduling and interactions between sub-contractors.
The material delivery chronology from assignment 12 will be used as an organizing feature around which we will look at earliest start date and latest completion date for subcontractor activities.
The work of each subcontractor may be separated into a subset of tasks with dependencies and precedents linking the task to the work of other subcontractors.
Assignment; This is the final assignment before the semester final; Prepare a subcontractor and material chronology for paving and curbing, assume all sub grade work is complete, show earliest start and latest completion for each task.
