5. Policy. Obtaining quality construction on time and within budget is a primary goal of the
USACE. To help manage the time specified for the completion of a contract, a schedule is
required per FAR 52.236-15 (reference 3.a). The contractor is responsible for scheduling the
work and tracking progress so that the contract completion date is met. The Contracting Officer

the contractor's schedule to assure compliance. If a schedule is not provided, or the schedule
changes are unacceptable, the Contracting Officer or ACO/AE/RE must withhold progress
payments per FAR 52.236-15(a). If actual progress fails to meet the schedule, the Contracting
Officer or ACO/AE/RE must take appropriate actions to assure compliance with contract
