	Contract time is to be set to encourage contractors to continuously and diligently prosecute the work in a reasonable fashion while causing the least disruption to traffic. Calculate contract time using the typical working days available during a construction season and anticipated production rates for the items of work , such as [[media:Fig 237.8 (4-03.8) Table of average working days per month.doc\|average working days per month for six major item types of work]]. Great care is to be taken in preparing a working day study for a project. Incorrect contract time can be the most significant factor in the bid prices on a project, as well as a primary cause of claims, particularly where other constraints such as tight working conditions, heavy traffic, multiple traffic shifts, complex staging or weather-dependent items are included. When preparing the [[media:124_Work_Day_Study_a.dotx\|working day study]], review the standard specifications for construction restrictions and approval requirements, and consult with Bridge and district construction and materials personnel to determine probable order of work and time involved to receive material and mix design approvals. Consideration is to be given, but not limited to:		Contract time is to be set to encourage contractors to continuously and diligently prosecute the work in a reasonable fashion while causing the least disruption to traffic.

	Contract time should be governed by calendar days on most projects. Completion by calendar date may be used where a specific date has been established as necessary for the completion of the project. The completion date or calendar days specified is determined by the working day study that uses reasonable production rates for the project’s construction staging. The standard special provision [https://epg.modot.org/forms/JSP/JSP1301.docx "Contract Liquidated Damages"] allows flexibility to administer the contract as calendar days with a completion date or as completion date only. If administering as both a completion date and calendar days, the contractor is provided a window of time in which to complete the work. Projects that will require more than one construction season to finish should be administered by completion date only. The use of working days contracts is allowed for special circumstances but approval must be obtained from the Design Division.		Contract time should be governed by calendar days on most projects.

	Design will assign the Notice to Proceed date based on the final estimate cost. Generally, the construction contract will include provisions that provide for the contractor to receive a Notice to Proceed for the contract 30 days from the award of the contract ~~for projects of $2 million or less and 60 days from the award of the contract for projects greater than $2 million~~. The district is to coordinate with Design when determining an early or delayed Notice to Proceed.

	Contract time is to be set to encourage contractors to continuously and diligently prosecute the work in a reasonable fashion while causing the least disruption to traffic. Calculate contract time using the typical working days available during a construction season and anticipated production rates for the items of work , such as [[media:Fig 237.8 (4-03.8) Table of average working days per month.doc\|average working days per month for six major item types of work]]. Great care is to be taken in preparing a working day study for a project. Incorrect contract time can be the most significant factor in the bid prices on a project, as well as a primary cause of claims, particularly where other constraints such as tight working conditions, heavy traffic, multiple traffic shifts, complex staging or weather-dependent items are included. When preparing the [[media:~~124 Work Day Study~~.dotx\|working day study]], review the standard specifications for construction restrictions and approval requirements, and consult with Bridge and district construction and materials personnel to determine probable order of work and time involved to receive material and mix design approvals.
