The baseline schedule must reflect  phasing requirements, applicable codes and regulations to complete the project as defined by  specifications, drawings, and other related documents . The GC must also consider available resources and the intended means and methods to produce a viable project schedule.

The Project Officer is responsible for ensuring all project schedule(s) are submitted in compliance with SCA contract requirements.

Schedule submissions shall include three hard copies of the schedule and one electronic copy along with a  narrative report that outlines project activity and problem areas experienced or anticipated during the previous reporting period.
