B. Contractor shall submit to FedEx requests for revisions to the Construction Schedule, together with
written rationale for revisions and description of logic for rescheduling work and substantiate that
the Work will be substantially completed within the time the Contract requires. FedEx will approve
proposed revisions that are acceptable to it in writing and Contractor shall incorporate those
revisions into the Construction Schedule or an approved Recovery Schedule, as the case may be.
C. Contractor must accompany requests for revision with evidence (such as written rationale for the
revisions and descriptions of logic for rescheduling the work) acceptable to FedEx that Contractor's
Subcontractors are in agreement with the proposed revisions.
D. If a revision of the Construction Schedule or a Recovery Schedule will affect the work of Separate
Contractors, Contractor must meet with, and gain the written approval of, those Separate
Contractors prior to Contractor’s submission of its proposed schedule revisions to FedEx;
Contractor must cause Separate Contractors to memorialize their approval of a proposed schedule
revision by signing the revision. If FedEx accepts a revision, it will be binding upon Contractor and
all Separate Contractors whose work the revision affects.
3.07 FLOAT TIME
A. Float or slack time associated with one chain of activities is the amount of time between earliest
start date and latest start date or between earliest finish date and latest finish date for such
activities, as calculated as part of the approved Construction Schedule, as revised or updated with
FedEx’s approval. Float or slack time shown on the approved Construction Schedule is not for the
exclusive use or benefit of either FedEx or e Contractor and is available for use by either of them
according to whichever first needs the benefit of the float to facilitate the effective use of available
resources and to minimize the impact of project problems, Excused Delays or changes in the Work
that may arise during the performance of the Work. Contractor or FedEx may use float time in
conjunction with their respective review activities or to resolve project problems. No project
problem, Contract Amendment or delay that only results in the loss of available float on the
approved Construction Schedule will form the basis for any modification of the Contract or an
extension of the Substantial Completion Dates or an adjustment of the compensation payable to
Contractor.
Contractor may not arbitrarily use float time shown on the Construction Schedule or a Recovery
Schedule in a manner that, in FedEx’s opinion, will unnecessarily delay Separate Contractors from
proceeding with their work or will otherwise be detrimental to FedEx’s interests.

A. Contractor must maintain as part of its organization, or hire a Subcontractor with, a competent staff
of sufficient size who are knowledgeable in the use, application and implementation of the work
breakdown structure in Gant Chart format of the critical path method and who are acceptable to

Schedule and subsequent revisions and updates, monitor the progress of the Work, provide input
for updating and revising logic diagrams, when necessary, and otherwise assist Contractor in
