SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Federal construction contractors may be required to submit 
schedules, in the form of a progress chart, showing the order in which 
the contractor proposes to perform the work. In accordance with FAR 
52.236-15, a contractor shall, within five days after work commences on 
the contract or another period of time determined by the contracting 
officer, prepare and submit to the contracting officer for approval 
three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which the 
contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the 
contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient 
features of the work (including acquiring materials, plants, and 
equipment). This information is used to monitor progress under a 
Federal construction contract when other management approaches for 
ensuring adequate progress are not used. If the Contractor fails to 
submit a schedule within the time prescribes, the Contracting Officer 
may withhold approval of progress payments until the
