. . . . . , ~"- Section II - Under-utilized Project Personnel As noted earlier, the Towaoc Municipal Project was bid with the intent of maximumizing personnel and equipment usage. This is the required concept of a competitive and cost effective operation. Work started in Division I and was intended to flow into Division II and Division III work. Work in Division II would be in progress while pipelaying and follow up activities in Division I was being completed. The contract documents allowed for this concept when the documents stated that the. Contractor would be provided.the.final. alignment of-the Division II segment by December 31, 1988. We have been unable to follow our work plan due to the delay created when the Owner was unable to provide the Division II work area to us as scheduled in the contract documents. Instead of the project supervision and project engineering managing this as an entire project composed af Division I, II, and III, it has now been effectively broken down by the Owner into what amounts to three separate projects, none of which could be managed or performed concurrently with the other. This has caused the performance of the supervision and engineering to be spread over a considerably longer ~ime period than was bid into the overall project. Our claim for Section II, Under-Utilized Personnel will compare the direct costs of the project when the project could be considered as operating efficiently to the latter period when it was farced to operate at a lesser degree of efficiency because of Owner-caused reduced workload. We will consider the period from Octohpr 24, 1988 thru March 2, 1989 the basis for the fully efficient pwriod when our direct costs were at a level that could be held reasonahly consistent , . . throughout the project_' This period includes the start up periad wh~ch contributes to provide a conservativ~-daily average direct cost. The less than fully efficient period is considered the time after March 2, 1989.
