by the Contractor. The Department has installed Primavera P6 software, or
newer release, on internet accessible servers for use by the Department’s
construction inspection staff. Appropriate Department personnel,
Consultants, and Contractors will also have access to these schedules on the

Department will determine the location to store the project schedule files on
the EPMD, and will provide the Contractor the naming convention for all
progress schedule submissions.
