PMO (Project Management Office) Manager, General Manager, Access & Planning Manager, Virgin Islands Paving, Inc., Taxiway Bravo Rehab, Moravian Highway Rehab and Crown Bay Rehab

START Date: 
July, 2016

To whom it may concern:

At this time I have 3 Project coming online. We have been named apparent low bidder on 2 Federal Highway Projects and one FAA. Each Project has a unique scope and the Highway jobs overlap with Signalization in one intersection.

The Airport is a straight forward Taxiway Rehabilitation with the landing lights being placed on a skip curcuit and the Signs being updated. It is driven by the HACP work. Of course the JMF's for Federal Highway,(FH), projects are very different than the FAA requirements.

Anyway, I have to produce 3 preliminary schedules, both narrative and graphic, encompassing the first 90 days of production. I have no start date as yet for any of them.

I am using P6.71 and this is a unique situation with utilizing the same resource pool for all three.

  • The shifts are different
  • The FAA requires redundancy for all heavy equipment
  • USVI labor laws require overtime for any hours worked over 8 in a 24 hour period.
  • Federal Highways requires 2 lane traffic during rush hours
  • The QC requirements are close, but the Airport sampling and testing is on a 24 hr return for asphalt
  • There is extensive milling on all three projects, but there are no manholes on the Taxiway
  • The risk mitigation for the FH job is extensive, but the risk for the FAA is expensive.

Of course, I have the baseline schedules; which must be submitted 14 days after Notice to Proceed.

The FH has increased the scope and detail of their schedules from the FP-03 to the FP-14. They have increased the information in the schedules to reflect the higher technology of scheduling software and no longer require the software be compatible with Primavera.

My planning hours only reflect to date, they will increase exponentially as these projects come online.
