EPC Contract: Advantages
Fixed Price Contract, Negligible Escalation
Design-build/engineer, procure, construct EPC contracting can potentially save millions of dollars up front, as well as dollars paid in change orders while construction proceeds.
Hardly any escalation in costs occur
Contractor brings to fore the best practices in project management
Timely Execution and Project earnings Start Faster
Life Cycle Cost of Project Diminishes.

EPC Contract Fundamental: Some Questions
� Owners often question whether the checks and balances are in place and question who really pays for alterations in design.
� Owners look toward the design-build/EPC contractor to be the one stop shop and the last stop for all the costs to be incurred for a project—from inception to project closeout.
� Thus, change becomes an issue that may not be well defined in today’s design build/ EPC construction environment.

EPC Contract Fundamentals: Some Questions
� In a changing world, what does uncertainty mean for the design-build/EPC industry?
� What do the current world economic conditions, as well as the current U.S. economic conditions mean to a design-build/EPC contractor wanting to play in the construction industry today?
� How do factors such as labor supply restrictions, loss of intellectual knowledge, and gap in fund availability for the infrastructure projects pose challenges to a design-build/EPC contractor wanting to play in say E&P or Power Sector.

EPC Contract Fundamentals: Contracting Strategy
Contracting Strategies
The design-build/EPC process merely establishes the roles and relationships among the key members of th e project team.
To achieve the specific project goals, however, the delivery system must be compatible with the owner’s contracting methodology and procurement process.
One of the single most important decisions that any design-build/EPC contractor will make is on the typ e of contract that it enters into with an owner.
The contract strategy represents the way in which t he delivery
Typically, in fixed-price contracting, any unforese en cost is not strictly underwritten within the original contr act and likely to be assumed by the contractor.
The fixed price that envelops the contract should accommodate a worst-case scenario if execution risk s become a reality.
This buffer is calculated in the form of a continge ncy and can represent up to 15% of the asking price.
The best case scenario is that these are not exerci sed, in which situation they are released and materialize as additional “cream” on top of the base price/margin.
In the worst-case scenario, these risks exceed the contingencies put in place and erode the base margi n to an extent that the contractor loses money on the proje ct
When the contractor provides a price for the design build/ EPC scope, it is obligating itself to provide the
project scope and quality that meets the owner’s requirements functionality,
affirms can be accomplished within the time required timeliness, and thus
affirms that its costs are sufficient to meet both requirements in terms of resources labor, equipment, and so on—all for a fixed cost.

Contractors initially welcomed the lion’s share of risk on EPC projects in return for the significant profit potential that could be derived from having simultaneous control over
design, procurement, and construction and any resulting efficiencies in cost and schedule.
Owner penalties increased, EPC contractors were caught in the squeeze.
Not surprisingly, contractors met the increase in riskwith higher pricing, thereby depriving owners of thecost savings EPC projects were intended to provide.
Even worse, the incidence of disputes soared, oftenfollowed by protracted and costly litigation.
Tighter current global economic environment…fight harder for every dollar
leads to hard-line negotiations,
tough contract terms and
strict enforcement of contract language.

� Recent project experience and recent trends within the construction industry indicate that executing projects is going to be more difficult and more risky in the future.
� Understanding these risks and their legal implications will be critical so that both the owners and the design-build/EPC contractors can be successful.
� EPC Contracting with negotiated alliance and change management processes built in may be more viable alternatives.
� Rigorous Use of Risk Management Techniques will become a necessity for EPC Contractors while Bidding, Planning and Executing.

MANAGING EPC RISKS IN MEGA EPC PROJECTSRECOVERY FROM THE DOWNTURNEPC Companies Who Matter..Contd
Fluor, Foster Wheeler, Shaw Group, Jacobs, Technip, Toyo, JGC, Toyota, and GS Engineering in Korea, they typically win the majority of the work. As their backlogs increase that’s a clear barometer that equipment will be ordered going forward and are signals for the manufacturers to start forward Planning.
