The traveling clause
Boilerplate carried between projects, describing a job that is not this one.
For Developers, Owners & Public Entities
Assistance with Preparation for Schedule Requirement Specifications
Scheduling provisions may address detail, reporting, update content, logic revisions, float and submissions. A contract-administration review examines how those provisions were used day to day, the records generated and the practical effects on project coordination.
Possible assignment considerations
In practice
- 01
Start from the owner's decisions
Establish what this project needs to know and when, and write requirements that serve those decisions.
- 02
Set detail, coding and format
Specify a breakdown at which progress is genuinely measurable and a format the owner's team can actually read.
- 03
Address float and logic revision
How do the project records address float, and how were sequence changes proposed, recorded and reviewed?
- 04
Consider contract administration
Scheduling provisions may address detail, reporting, update content, logic revisions, float and submissions. A contract-administration review examines how those provisions were used day to day, the records generated and the practical effects on project coordination.
Considerations and limitations
Questions and limitations to consider
Requirements with no reader
Submissions demanded that nobody analyzes, which cost money and teach the project that the specification is optional.
Float left unaddressed
Deferring the ownership question to the moment both parties need it.
