Federal construction scheduling for Jacksonville contractors
We provide Primavera P6 scheduling and delay support for contractors pursuing and performing federal work in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Baselines, cost loading, monthly updates, narratives and time impact analyses are built to the scheduling section incorporated into your contract.

The scheduling section runs the job
Northeast Florida has the USACE Jacksonville District, NAVFAC Southeast, NAS Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport. On that work the scheduling section in your contract decides what you submit, who reviews it, and what it takes to get paid and get time. The agencies don't all ask for the same thing, so the first job is reading the section you actually signed.
Navy and Marine Corps work
NAVFAC's current section, UFGS 01 32 17.00 20, covers cost-loaded network analysis schedules and calls for native P6 XER deliverables. Confirm which version made it into your contract. The cost loading has to tie to the contract line items.
Corps of Engineers work
USACE jobs commonly carry UFGS 01 32 01.00 10. Expect activity coding, cost loading and update rules spelled out in the section, with an SDEF export to RMS where the contract requires it. QC and the schedule have to tell the same story.
Veterans Affairs work
VA major projects under 01 32 16.13 require an independent CPM consultant and a Network Analysis Schedule tied to progress payments. Small projects under 01 32 16.15 allow qualified in-house scheduling.

Where we come in on a federal job
We can pick up at any point. The earlier we read the section, the fewer surprises at the first review.
Before and after award
We read the scheduling section and list what it requires: scheduler qualifications, the preliminary and baseline submittal dates, cost loading, update cycle, narratives, file formats and meetings. You get the scheduling scope to carry in your bid, and after award a submittal plan that hits the dates.
Baseline development
Government reviews, submittals, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning and closeout, all logic-linked to the contract milestones. Review durations come from the contract, not wishful thinking. Cost loading ties to the CLINs or pay items so the first pay app isn't the first fight. P6 baseline development →
Monthly reporting
Progress pulled from the QC reports and the field, remaining durations that match the crews on site, critical path changes explained, and the cost-loaded progress report where the section requires one. The narrative says what moved and why. Monthly updates and narratives →
Changes and disputes
Fragnets inserted into the right pre-impact update, a TIA per AACE RP 52R-06, and the records that back it. If the modification doesn't settle it, the same record supports an REA, and forensic analysis per AACE RP 29R-03 if it goes further. Schedule movement alone doesn't prove entitlement. Notice, responsibility and concurrency still decide it. Fragnets and TIAs on federal jobs →
Base access is a schedule input, not an excuse
Work inside an active base or federal campus runs slower than the same work on an open site. If the baseline assumes a full shift and free access, every update fights the plan. We put the restrictions in the logic so a lost day has a cause the reviewer can see.
