Service Terms

Kugan & Associates, Inc. · Effective October 30, 2026

These terms apply to the CPM scheduling, plan review and plan preparation services provided by Kugan & Associates, Inc. (“we”, “us”). By sending us a request and paying for a service, you (“the client”) agree to these terms. Online training courses are covered by the terms on each course page.

1. Services

• Plan reviews (flat fee): Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA), Construction Quality Management (CQM) Plan, Accident Prevention Plan (APP) and Construction Baseline Schedule.
• Plan preparation (quoted per project): CQM Plan, APP, AHA and construction schedules in Oracle Primavera P6.
• CPM scheduling services (quoted per project): baseline schedule development, weekly and monthly schedule updates, weekly and monthly schedule narratives, cost-loaded and resource-loaded schedules, Time Impact Analysis (TIA) and forensic schedule analysis.

2. Fees and payment

Plan reviews are charged at the flat fees listed below. After we receive your request, we email you a secure payment link, and work begins when we receive your payment.

Plan preparation and CPM scheduling services are priced by written quote. The quote states the fee and how it is paid, for example in full before work starts or billed monthly for ongoing schedule updates.

3. Turnaround

Turnaround is counted in working days: Monday to Friday, excluding U.S. federal holidays.

• Plan reviews: the clock starts when we receive your payment.
• Plan preparation: the clock starts when we have received both your payment and all the documents we need. Turnaround is 3 working days for an AHA and 5 working days for a CQM Plan or APP. For a P6 schedule, turnaround is stated in your quote.
• CPM scheduling services: dates are stated in your quote.

If the documents we need are missing or incomplete, we will tell you what is needed, and the turnaround clock is paused until we receive them.

4. What you provide

You must provide the documents listed for each service on our website, including the contract plans and specifications. Reviews require the document in the stated format: the AHA on the USACE fillable form, the APP as a fillable PDF, your CQM Plan, or your schedule as a Primavera P6 XER file. You confirm that you have the right to share these documents with us.

5. What a review includes

Each review checks your document against the contract plans and specifications you provide, and:

• AHA and APP: EM 385-1-1 (2024 edition).
• CQM Plan: the contract’s quality control specification section.
• Construction Baseline Schedule: the contract’s scheduling specification section.

You receive a marked-up copy of your document and a written list of comments identifying items to correct. One back-check of your revised document is included if you send it within 30 days of our review. A review does not include rewriting the document or site visits.

6. Your responsibility

The contractor remains responsible for the content, accuracy and implementation of every plan and schedule, and for obtaining acceptance from the Contracting Officer (KO) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Before submission, plans and schedules we prepare or review must be reviewed and adopted by the contractor’s own qualified personnel: the Site Safety and Health Officer for safety plans, the Quality Control Manager for the CQM Plan, and the contractor’s project manager or scheduler for schedules. Our review or preparation does not guarantee Government acceptance.

Our reviews, plans and schedules are not sealed, stamped or certified under any Professional Engineer license, and they are not professional engineering services.

7. Refunds

If you cancel before we start work, we refund your payment in full. Once we have delivered the review, plan or schedule, no refund is available.

8. Confidentiality

We use your documents only to perform the service you requested and do not share them with anyone else, except as required by law. We keep project files for 12 months after delivery and then delete them.

9. Limitation of liability

Our total liability for any claim related to a service is limited to the fee you paid for that service.

10. No government affiliation

EM 385-1-1, ENG Form 6206 and ENG Form 6293 are publications of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Kugan & Associates, Inc. is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NAVFAC or any U.S. Government agency.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
