Plant versus Design-Build focusA plant contract that allows for design-build involves:p g- design-build delivery issues; - complexities from the manufacture, installation, testing, and p g
commissioning of much technically sophisticated equipment Design-build aspects given little attention since widely used andDesign build aspects given little attention since widely used and much knowledge has been developed:

New Engineering Contract
NEC3 (for civil engineering works +/- ‘minor plant items’)Format - not traditional (for project managers):( p j g )- part skeleton contract, part management tool;- assembled to suit a specific project; p p j- ‘black book’ front-end core clauses +
‘rainbow’ of contract provisions Focus - project management:- high engagement of the employer;- detailed management procedures and responsibilities;- regularly updated programme is standard.Contract conditions - flexible:- can structure clauses in many ways;- handles many pricing arrangements as standard; - variations are compensation events based on forecast cost.
New Engineering Contract
FIDIC Plant (for supply & installation of plant & erection on site) Format - traditional (for lenders):( )- separate documents;- part of a harmonised ‘rainbow suite’;p- General Conditions + Particular Conditions. Focus - balanced risk:- employer’s requirements vital;- contractor design; usually associated with a plant supplier;- responsibilities allocated; procedures for programme updating.Contract conditions - coherent:- 20 structured clauses;- limited number of pricing arrangements as standard; - variations’ cost and time extension claimed separately.
FIDIC Plant Contract
FIDIC Plant Contract - a dedicated contractProcuring the supply & installation of plant follows theg pp y psame procedure as for employer-designed construction works.Certain significant differences owing to different types of projects:g g yp p j- plant is largely manufactured off-site at a factory;- contractor usually associated with a manufacturer or supplier;y- detailed design of the plant is the contractor’s responsibility;- design to fulfil performance specification;- engineer administers the contract, monitors manufacture and
erection on site and certifies payment;- testing and commissioning are comprehensive;- payment is mainly on a schedule of payments based on
predefined measurable milestones; generally lump-sum basis.

Renewable energy sector – the new normal?
Renewable energy sector – the new normal?Today, few single-source offshore turnkey contractors (too risky; y g y ( ylow margins) so multicontracts widespread. Project owner:- has many contractors to choose from for each scope of work;y p- employs directly and separately the turbine supplier, civil and
electrical contractors, typically on a target-cost model;y y g- apportions liability on a case-by-case basis;- is responsible for co-ordinating the separate packages; - overlays project-wide alliancing obligations.Disadvantages:- increased owner risks;- contractor interfacing difficult; - cannot recover the costs of delays.
The new normal?
The new normal? Probably “yes”Multicontract issues are new generic Plant Contract issues: g- new roles, e.g., Warranty Surveyor;- more interfaces between contractors;more interfaces between contractors;- more difficult quality control/testing/commissioning issues;
more complex safety issues e g wave heights = force majeur;- more complex safety issues, e.g., wave heights = force majeur;- more prescribed (nominated) specialist equipment;- more technology issues, e.g., intellectual property, interfaces;- more insurance and liability issues, e.g., site conditions change y , g , g
continually, equipment deteriorates before completion;- more contract issues, e.g., how to define fairly Defectsmore contract issues, e.g., how to define fairly Defects
Notification Period, life expectancy, Time for Completion.
Standard forms of contract
Standard forms of contractUnder law, standard forms must be continually updated.y pThey offer many advantages, with few disadvantages:- reduce negotiation and re-drafting;g g- less misunderstanding and fewer disputes;- fair in terms of apportioning risks, obligations & responsibilities;g g- key to opening up projects to international participation;- facilitate training of project and administrative staff;- avoid need for intensive effort to interpret contract conditions;- uncertainties of meaning are likely to be ironed out, so more
predictable outcomes;- promotes best-practice contract administration and project
management;- reduced need for legal advice.
Conclusion
Develop standard forms of plant contractsWhile new developments in today’s project delivery tend to arise p y p j yin specific industry sectors, the accompanying issues are mainly new generic issues that need to be taken up by standard forms.g p yContinue to incorporate generic plant-related contract issues as opposed to sector-specific issues so that valuable features ofopposed to sector specific issues so that valuable features of standard forms are not lost, namely:- efficiencyefficiency- transparency- facilitated dispute resolutionac a ed d spu e eso u o- and above all a coherent contractual
framework for tackling climate change.g g
