The Baseline Schedule shall show the breakdown of work into activities to the extent required to effectively plan the project, report work progress and analyze time impacts, and shall show all logical interrelationships (ties) between activities. The Baseline Schedule shall be the basis for monitoring the Contractor’s progress, and the evaluation and reconciliation of Contract Time extensions. The Contractor shall prepare the Baseline Schedule based on the Contract as awarded, providing materials and equipment described in the Contract Documents, and without considering possible substitute or “or equal” items, even if the Contractor pursues a substitution in accordance with provisions of the Contract. The Construction Manager’s final determination on proposed substitutions may not be made until after the Baseline Schedule or a Revised Schedule is submitted and accepted by the Construction Manager, or conditionally accepted with note exceptions.
