1 2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT [NTA: DB Project Management requirements drop off at Project Opening and the O&M management requirements start. In Book 2A address projects that have periods of no DB or O&M Phase on certain sections and projects with DB and overlapping O&M.] [NTA: In Book 1, TxDOT payments to Developer will be made on a progress basis upon reaching milestones defined in Book 2A. In Book 2A define the subsidy (if any) associated with each milestone. The Developer shall establish and maintain an organization that effectively manages all elements of the Work. This Project management effort will be defined and guided by the Project Management Plan, which is a collection of several management plan elements describing discrete elements of the Work. The Project Management Plan is an umbrella document that describes the Developer s managerial approach, strategy, and quality procedures to design, build, operate, and maintain the Project and achieve all requirements of the Contract Documents. The structure of the Project Management Plan is outlined in Table 2-1.

SECTION 2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PAGE 2-1

2 TxDOT and the Independent Engineer will audit and monitor the activities described in the management plans to assess Developer performance. All statements contained in the PMP shall be of an auditable nature. As the Work progresses, certain portions of the Work will commence in the O&M Phase, other portions will transition into the O&M Phase, and other portions will still be in the DB Phase. Unless specified otherwise in the Contract Documents, management plan documents shall clearly differentiate between the management activities during the DB Phase and O&M Phase, and address the appropriate transition issues when the Developer shifts from the DB Phase to the O&M Phase. 2.1 Project Administration [NTA: Book 1 will address TxDOT s review and approval of changing Key Personnel.] Project Schedule [NTA: define Project Schedule ] [NTA: The Developer shall produce a Baseline Schedule to be approved Baseline Schedule updated w/progress billings [NTA: assumes there is a TxDOT subsidy.] General Requirements The Parties recognize the importance of the Project Schedule for defining the timeframe for the completion of the Project and the achievement of the milestones. The Parties also recognize the importance of the Project Schedule in monitoring the progress of the Project and denoting changes that occur during design and construction Required Submittals Baseline Schedule The Developer shall use the preliminary schedule submitted with the Proposal as a foundation to prepare a Baseline Schedule and submit to TxDOT for Review and Approval. Approval of the Schedule shall be a condition of NTP2. The Developer shall submit the baseline schedule in a single copy in full-size color plot sheets, along with a backup disk of the schedule in electronic format. Scheduling software shall be as outlined in book 2A and the Developer shall be responsible for updating scheduling software to maintain compatibility with current TxDOT-supported scheduling software [NTA Include requirement to use Primavera Project Planner or current TxDOT software.] The Baseline Schedule shall include a separate narrative report which describes, in general fashion, the Developer s proposed methods of operation for designing and constructing the major portions of the Work required by the Contract. The schedule narrative shall describe the general sequence of design and construction, the proposed critical path of the project, and all contract milestones. SECTION 2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PAGE 2-2

3 The Baseline Schedule shall include all major activities of Work required under the Contract, in sufficient detail to monitor and evaluate design and construction progress, from commencement of the Work to final completion of the Work. The Baseline Schedule shall also include activities for property acquisition, Utility Adjustments, permit acquisitions, and interfaces with other projects, localities and municipalities. For each major activity, the Developer shall indicate the duration (in Days) required to perform the activity and the anticipated beginning and completion date of each activity. In addition, the Baseline Schedule shall indicate the sequence of performing each major activity and the logical dependencies and inter-relationships among the activities. The Baseline Schedule shall include a listing of all submittals as called out in the Contract Documents. Submittal activity durations shall include specific durations for TxDOT Review and/or Approval of the Developer s submittals as called out elsewhere in these Technical Provisions. With the exception of activities relating to environmental approvals by governmental agencies, each activity depicting the Developer s operations shall have a duration of not more than 20 Days, and not less than one Day, except as otherwise Approved by TxDOT. All activities shown in the schedule, with the exception of the first and last activities, shall have a minimum of one predecessor and a minimum of one successor activity. Float shall not be considered as time for the exclusive use of or benefit of either the Owner or the Developer but shall be considered as a jointly owned, expiring resource available to the Project and shall not be used to the financial detriment of either party. Any method utilized to sequester float calculations will be prohibited without prior Approval of TxDOT. Any schedule, including the Baseline Schedule and all updates thereto, showing an early completion date shall show the time between the schedule completion date and the Contract Completion Date as "project float." Project Schedule Updates The Developer shall update, on at least a quarterly basis, or as directed by TxDOT, the Approved Baseline Schedule to reflect the current status of the Project, including Approved Change Orders. Each Project Schedule Update shall accurately reflect all activities completed as of the effective data date of the update schedule. Each Update shall indicate the overall completion percentage of the Project. The Developer shall submit the Project Schedule Update in a single copy in full-size color plot sheets along with a backup disk of the schedule in electronic format. No changes in activity durations, calendar assignments, logic ties, or constraints will be allowed in the Project Schedule Update without the written Approval of TxDOT. The Project Schedule Update shall include a schedule narrative report which describes the status of the project in detail O&M Schedule Before Facility Opening can occur, the Developer shall expand and complete the preliminary O&M Schedule submitted with the technical proposal and submit to TxDOT SECTION 2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PAGE 2-3

4 for Review. The O&M Schedule shall be sufficiently detailed to indicate the timing of periodic maintenance activities, rehabilitation activities, planned Expansions, and planned Upgrades, and shall be consistent with the requirements contained in Sections 19 and Document Management The Developer shall establish and maintain an electronic document control system to store, catalog, and retrieve all Project-related documents. Unless otherwise directed by TxDOT, records shall be kept for the term of the Agreement and shall be provided to TxDOT at the time of the Project Handback. 2.2 Quality Management The Developer shall submit a comprehensive Quality Management Plan to TxDOT for Approval that is consistent with and expands upon the preliminary Quality Management Plan submitted with the technical proposal.

The Developer shall submit to the Independent Engineer and TxDOT the results of all internal audits within Days of their completion [NTA enter appropriate number of Days here]. The Developer shall promptly submit to the Independent Engineer and TxDOT nonconformance reports upon their issuance and resolution. TxDOT will issue a non-conformance report if TxDOT discovers an item of Work that does not comply with Contract Documents. As outlined in Table 2-1, the Quality Management Plan is organized into four discrete chapters. The requirements for Right of Way Acquisition are contained in Section 7. The requirements for the Design Quality Management, Construction Quality Management, and Operations and Maintenance Quality Management are contained in this Section 2. The Quality Management Plan shall contain detailed procedures for the Developer s quality control and quality assurance activities.
