4 Contractor Issues and Trends Low profitability (typical after-tax IRR 2-6%); many in bankruptcy Excessive risk being passed from owner to contractor Lack of available craft and technician labor Increasingly global competition More selective in project pursuit; increased specialization Emphasis on converting FEED into detail contracts Difficulty keeping pace with technology; little time available for education Continuity and consistency associated with fluctuations in headcount Trend towards LSTK contracts 4

5 What do Contractors Value? Corporate Image Margin, profitability, shareholder value Alignment with their market/client base Safety, health and environmental focus Developing client loyalty For Vendors: Price, Compliance, Speed Total Installed Cost Risk management and mitigation Schedule Understand their business Man-hour efficiency and utilization Work process alignment, process expertise and technology Use of best practices; Repeatability 5

7 Coaching from the EPC Get on the Clients preferred vendor list Every project is different, READ the scope From an execution point be aware that the project can be executed from various world wide locations Show your added value! Why me? Use the Project specific information given in the pre-bid phase Get the nominated project execution people involved in the bid phase in a timely fashion 7

8 Proposal phase for Automation Contractors Engage in Pre-Qualification with Client and/or EPC based on technical, project management and commercial capabilities Technical capabilities Reference projects Local presence both in engineering phase as in construction phase Financial soundness Resources 8

9 Establish Scope of Supply EPC will provide an overview of the project scope In a succeeding session(s) the Automation Contractor shall: 9 Give a project specific presentation Present the technology and service solution capabilities Present the execution approach and key team members Show project management capabilities Introduce sub-system vendors if required

10 Bid Evaluation (1) Be Compliant!! 10 Read, know and understand the ITB Use approved sub-vendors Quotation should conform to the required structure Do NOT put to much boilerplate material in the Quotation Project execution Demonstrate the understanding of the scope Outline how risks mitigation can be accomplished Present the project organization and execution plan

11 Bid Evaluation (2) People proposed to fill the key functions Are they available at the start of the project Are they mobile (willing to move) Will they be committed throughout the life of the project? Engineering and Maintenance service Location(s) Close to Engineering offices Close to Plant location Value added Give alternatives Reduction of overall cost (CAPEX and OPEX) Proven Technology and design Only market available products No equipment from future Road maps 11

12 Bid Evaluation (3) Change definition and management of change process Prices breakdown of individual items and engineering Terms & Conditions (payment terms, LD s, LOL, indemnification, insurance, etc.).price (will make a difference) 12

13 Perceptions of Automation Company (today) Positives: Excellent Products Quality Front Line People Global Organization Good Quoted Deliveries Negatives: Fragmented Infrastructure Don t understand RFQ requirements T&C responses longer than initial submittal Project management Change management Unreliable delivery commitments Quality of documentation/invoicing Outsource integration 13

14 Generic Value Message Minimal Risk Market and Technology Leadership Global Sales and Service Financial Stability Single Point of Contact Broad Scope of Supply Single P.O. Reduced Project Cycles Work Process Integration Selection and design tools Ease of Integration (open architecture) INtools integration Reduced FAT/SAT Reduced documentation time Possibility of Reproducible Components Easy PEpC Process Lower TIC through Digital Architecture and Solutions 14

16 High Stakes Construction Calls For A New Capital Project Model 98 CII studied effect of early involvement of strategic suppliers PEpC approach P: Procure strategic suppliers first and early E: Engineer (by contractor partnered with strategic supplier) p: Procure commodity items C: Construct 16

17 Findings Of the CII Study In both theoretical and field implementations, the results indicated that PEpC could produce savings in excess of 10% to 15% of the time and 4% to 8% percent of the cost of the traditional EPC process Edward M Ruane Head of CII Research Team J. A. Jones Construction Co. Quote 17 from CII Research Summary 130-1; Page 5

21 Exxon MAC Concept Definition (Typical of new capital MAC) Main Instrument & Control Contractor (MICC) Aliases: MAC, MAV, MIV, MICS A highly qualified, well resourced control systems specialist contracted to engineer, supply / procure and manage instrumentation, control systems, safety instrumented systems and associated interfaces for all Project components and facilities. MICC responsibilities limited to those the MICC is best qualified to handle. Some responsibilities are best managed by the EPC s. This is consistent with the MICC concept principles. 21
