construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

2. Predecessor activity is an activity that must be completed before a given activity can be started.

B. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities

are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project.

C. Critical Path: The longest continuous chain of activities through the network schedule that establishes the

minimum overall Project duration and contains no float. D. Event: The starting or ending point of an activity. E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float time is for the exclusive use or benefit of the Contractor to meet schedule milestones and Contract completion date.

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the

following activity.

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.

F. Fragnet: A partial or fragmentary network that breaks down activities into smaller activities for greater detail. G. Major Area: A story of construction, a separate building, or a similar significant construction element. H. Milestone: A key or critical point in time for reference or measurement. I. Network Diagram: A graphic diagram of a network schedule, showing activities and activity relationships.

C. As each individual check or test is accomplished, physical responses of the systems shall be observed and

compared to the specified requirements in order to verify the test results. The actual physical responses of system components must be observed. Reliance on control signals or other indirect indicators is not adequate. The input and output signals for each control component also need to be observed to confirm that they are correct for each physical condition.

D. During functional performance testing of the mechanical system, a failure in performance of a part of the system or

of a component may be revealed. Any performance deficiencies must be evaluated to determine the cause. Communicate required corrective work directly to subcontractor on site such that work progresses to meet established deadline. If subcontractors are not responding in a timely manner, provide a written list of system deficiencies requiring corrective work to Wold Architects and Engineers. After necessary corrective measures are completed by the controls contractor, repeat the necessary functional performance tests until each item has passed.

E. Install the measuring instruments and logging devices to record the test data for the required test period. The

instrumentation shall meter and record all operating conditions to allow for complete evaluation of the test results. F. If any test cannot be completed because of a deficiency outside the scope of the mechanical system, the deficiency

shall be documented and reported to the owner. The deficiencies should be resolved and corrected by the appropriate parties and functional performance test rescheduled.
