3.1.1. A progress schedule in the indicated form: Bar Chart Modified Critical Path Method (“CPM”) CPM Computerized CPM (CPM is interpreted to be generally as outlined in the Association of General Contractors (“AGC”) publication, “The Use of CPM in Construction.”) The progress schedule shall indicate the start and completion dates of the various stages of the Work, and shall show an activity network for the planning and execution of the Work. Included with the progress schedule shall be a narrative description of the progress schedule. The progress schedule must be updated monthly by Contractor, submitted as part of each Application for Payment, and must be acceptable to Consultant.
3.1.2. A preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing submissions; and
3.1.3. In a lump sum contract or in a contract that includes lump sum bid items of Work, a preliminary schedule of values for all of the Work that includes quantities and prices of items aggregating the Contract Price and that subdivides the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during construction. Such prices will include a breakdown of labor, equipment, materials, and an appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work, which amounts Contractor must confirm in writing at the time of submission. In addition, after award but prior to the submission of the progress schedule, Consultant, Contract Administrator, and Contractor shall meet with all utility owners and secure from them a schedule of utility relocation; provided, however, that neither Consultant nor Town shall be responsible for the nonperformance by the utility owners.

Preliminary Examination 24.1 The Purchaser will examine the bids to determine whether they are complete, whether any computational errors have been made, whether required sureties have been furnished, whether the documents have been properly signed, and whether the bids are generally in order. 24.2 Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis. If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail, and the total price shall be corrected. If the Supplier does not accept the correction of the errors, its bid will be rejected, and its bid security may be forfeited. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will prevail. 24.3 The Purchaser may waive any minor informality, nonconformity, or irregularity in a bid which does not constitute a material deviation, provided such waiver does not prejudice or affect the relative ranking of any Bidder. 24.4 Prior to the detailed evaluation, pursuant to ITB Clause 25 the Purchaser will determine the substantial responsiveness of each bid to the bidding documents. For purposes of these Clauses, a substantially responsive bid is one which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the bidding documents without material deviations. Deviations from, or objections or reservations to critical provisions, such as those concerning Bid Security (ITB Clause 15), Applicable Law (GCC Clause 30), and Taxes and Duties (GCC Clause 32), will be deemed to be a material deviation. The Purchaser’s determination of a bid’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the bid itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.
PHASE is a distinct portion of the Work to be provided under this Agreement, as specified in the Statement Of Work.
Phase II A small portion of the work for the Phase II modifications to the Plattsburgh Substation will be performed by Transmission Owner, and the remainder will be performed by Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx. A detailed definition of the specific scope for Transmission Owner and Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx including interface points shall be defined during the design phase and, as such documents become available, copies will be delivered to the NYISO, Transmission Owner, Noble Altona Windpark, LLC and Marble River, LLC. The full scope includes the installation of wave traps, CCVT’s and modifications and/or additions to relaying on the MWP-1 and MWP- 2 lines. These lines will be reconfigured at the completion of Phase II to connect to Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx Substations on MWP-1 and the Xxxx Substation on MWP-2. Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx will design the upgrades and purchase the materials based on the outline specification that was prepared and issued by Transmission Owner. The work to be performed by Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx will include both the materials for the exterior and interior installations and items for Transmission Owner installation inside the control building in existing relay panels and communication racks. In addition, Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx will be responsible for the exterior and interior construction work and will provide construction management services in coordination with Transmission Owner. The civil design for the foundations and the electrical design for the cable runs to the control room will be designed by, as approved by Transmission Owner, and installed under the supervision and control of Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx. The equipment will be selected and procured in accordance with the specifications developed during the detailed engineering phase, copies of which shall be furnished to the NYISO, Transmission Owner, Noble Altona Windpark, LLC and Marble River, LLC. The construction of the foundations, structures, wave traps, CCTV and cable runs into the control building to the termination cabinets will be completed by Clinton and Xxxxxxxxx.
