Project Summary The main objective of the LIFE GAIA Sense project is to demonstrate gaiasense, an innovative “Smart Farming” (SF) solution that aims at reducing the consumption of natural resources, as a way to protect the environment and support Circular Economy (CE) models. More specifically, this project will launch 18 demonstrators across Greece, Spain and Portugal covering 9 crops (olives, peaches, cotton, pistachio, potatoes, table tomatoes, industrial tomatoes, grapes, kiwi) in various terrain and microclimatic conditions. They will demonstrate an innovative method, based on high-end technology, which is suitable for being replicated and will be accessible and affordable to Farmers either as individuals or collectively through Agricultural Cooperatives. Moreover, LIFE GAIA Sense aims to promote resource efficiency practices in SMEs of the agricultural sector and eventually, contribute to the implementation of the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe. This project will demonstrate a method on how the farmer will be able to decide either to use or avoid inputs (irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides etc.) in a most efficient way, without risking the annual production. The focus is on the resource consumption reduction side of CE, and the results will be both qualitatively and quantitatively, considering the resources’ efficiency in agricultural sector.
Project Schedule Construction must begin within 30 days of the date set forth in Appendix A, Page 2, for the start of construction, or this Agreement may become null and void, at the sole discretion of the Director. However, the Recipient may apply to the Director in writing for an extension of the date to initiate construction. The Recipient shall specify the reasons for the delay in the start of construction and provide the Director with a new start of construction date. The Director will review such requests for extensions and may extend the start date, providing that the Project can be completed within a reasonable time frame.
Construction Progress Schedule A schedule indicating proposed activity sequences and durations, milestone dates for receipt and approval of pertinent information, preparation, submittal, and processing of Shop Drawings and Samples, delivery of materials or equipment requiring long-lead time procurement, and proposed date(s) of Material Completion and Occupancy and Final Completion. The schedule will be developed to represent the sixteen or seventeen CSI Specification Divisions. It shall have a minimum number of activities as required to adequately represent to Owner the complete scope of work and define the Project’s critical path and associated activities. If the Project is to be phased, then each individual Phase should be identified from start through completion of the overall Project and should be individually scheduled and described, including any Owner’s occupancy requirements and showing portions of the Project having occupancy priority. The format of the schedule will have dependencies indicated on a monthly grid identifying milestone dates such as construction start, phase construction, structural top out, dry-in, rough-in completion, metal stud and drywall completion, equipment installation, systems operational, Material Completion and Occupancy Date, final inspection dates, Punchlist, and Final Completion date.
Budget Schedule Subrecipient agrees that the expenditures of any and all funds under this Contract will be in accordance with the Budget Schedule, a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment C, and which by this reference is incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if fully set forth.
Project Budget A Project Budget shall be prepared and maintained by Grantee. The Project Budget shall detail all costs for which the Grant will be used during the Term. The Project Budget must be approved in writing by the Project Monitor. Grantee shall carry out the Project and shall incur costs and make disbursements of funds provided hereunder by the Sponsor only in conformity with the Project Budget. The current approved Project Budget is contained in Attachment “C”. Said Project Budget may be revised from time to time, but no Project Budget or revision thereof shall be effective unless and until the same is approved in writing by Project Monitor. The funds granted under this Grant Contract cannot be used to supplant (replace) other existing funds.
Project Changes 1.8.1. All changes shall be administered per the UGC. 1.8.2. Upon authorization by the Owner, the Owner or Architect/Engineer will prepare and issue all changes to the Contract affecting cost, scope and/or time as a formal Change Order to the Contract on the standard University of Texas MD Xxxxxxxx Cancer Center Change Order form. The Change Order may include separate change issues, identified as Change Proposals and field orders. 1.8.3. Upon authorization by the Owner, Change Proposals may be issued to the Architect/Engineer for pricing by the Contractor. Contractor shall submit pricing to the Owner within twenty-one (21) days and pricing shall be indicated on the standard Owner "Change in Work Cost Analysis" ("Cost Analysis") form provided in the Pre-Construction Conference Brochure. Contractor may not include a Change Proposal within a Change Order unless the Owner has accepted the Change Proposal. 1.8.3.1. The Contractor shall summarize all costs for each change at each level of subcontractor and supplier by preparing the "Cost Analysis" form, and shall provide each subcontractor's cost summary on separate "Cost Analysis" forms as backup. Additional support documentation from both the Contractor and Contractor’s subcontractors is encouraged, but such will not replace use of the standard form. 1.8.3.2. When the Contractor believes it is entitled to a time extension, Contractor shall so state as part of Contractor’s response to the Change Proposal, including a justifica- tion for a time extension. Owner may grant time extensions only if a Change Proposal affects the activities on the Longest Path of an Owner approved Work Progress Schedule; i.e., when the Work impacts the "Contract Substantial Completion Date". 1.8.3.3. If the Owner’s Project Manager and Contractor cannot mutually agree upon a fair and reasonable cost and time settlement, the Owner’s Project Manager may: 1) Reject the quotation and void the Change Proposal, 2) Issue instructions to the Contractor to proceed on a time and material basis for a price to be determined later not to exceed a fixed maximum dollar and time, or 3) Issue a Unilateral Change Order. 1.8.3.4. The Owner’s Construction Inspector and/or Owner’s Project Manager may issue field orders directly to the Contractor for minor changes to the Contract, which can be negotiated in the field. Pricing backup is at the discretion of the Owner’s Construction Inspector, but pricing backup is required for any field order, the pricing backup is to be outlined on the "Cost Analysis" form. When the Owner and Contractor have signed the field order, the Work is authorized and the field order may be included in the next Change Order. 1.8.4. Request for payment for Change Order work may be submitted only after the Change Order has been fully executed.
Project Work Plan The Statement of Work is the formal document incorporated into the Grant. The Project Work Plan documents how the Grantee will achieve the performance measures outlined in the Grant. Changes to the Statement of Work require an amendment. Project Work Plans may be changed with written approval from PEI and the Grantee.
