1) From a Legal Point of View, A mutual agreement between two or more parties that something shall be done, an agreement enforceable at law. According to FIDIC,

Contract means the General Conditions, the Supplementary Conditions, the Specifications, the Drawings, the Bill of Quantities, the Tender, the Letter of Acceptance, the Contract Agreement, and such further documents as may be expressly incorporated in the Letter of Acceptance or Contract Agreement.

TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTSTwo broad categories: Price Given in Advance Contracts (Priced-based Contracts) Cost Reimbursement Contracts (Cost-based Contracts)

A. Lump Sum Contact - Sometimes called Drawings and Specifications Contract The contractor agrees to perform a stipulated job of work in exchange for a fixed sum of money. In other words a single tendered price is given for the completion of a specified work to the satisfaction of the client by a certain date. Payment may be staged at intervals of time on the completion of milestones. Useful for construction works: o that can be accurately and completely described at the time of bidding such as residential and building construction,

o when limited variation is needed, o when level of risks is low and quantifiable, and o when the client does not wish to be involved in the management of his project. Advantages of Lump Sum Contract o The final price is known, by the owner, before the work commences. o The contractor has more incentive to reduce his cost to increase the profit. o The contractor hopes to complete the job as quickly as possible, to minimize overhead, to maximize profit and to move to the next Job. Disadvantages of Lump Sum Contract o A great deal of work should be done by the contractors prior to preparing the estimate. It is wasteful of a skilled estimators time. o Changes in drawings and specifications can be very expensive and source of trouble. In other words the contract has very limited flexibility for design changes. o The contractor carries much of the risks. The tendered price may include high risk contingency.

o Competent contractors may decide not to bid to avoid a high-risk lump sum contract. .
B. Contract based on a Bill of Quantities- Sometimes called Unit Price Contract Main Aspects of Unit Price Contract o Items of work of the contract are specified with estimated quantities in the Bills of Quantities. o Estimated quantities are surveyed by Architect/Engineer.

o Contractors enter unit prices against the estimated quantities of work. o The contract is based on estimated quantities of work items and unit price for each of these work items. o Payment is made on the basis of units of work actually done and measured in the field multiplied by the unit prices. o Re-determination of unit prices when substantial quantity deviations occur is stipulated in contract conditions. o Useful on projects where the nature of the work is well defined, but the quantities of work cannot be accurately determined in advance of construction. Suitable for highways, dams, airports Advantages of Unit Price Contract o Saving the heavy cost of preparing many bills of quantities by the contractors. o Fair basis for competition.

o In comparing with lump-sum contract, o Changes in contract documents can be made easily by the owner. o Lower risk for contractor. Disadvantages of Unit Price Contract o The exact final price of the project is not known to the owner until the completion of the project. C. Schedule of Rates Contract Main Aspects of Schedule of Rates Contract o A Schedule of the work items without quantities (or inaccurate quantities; possibly with upper and lower probable limits) is prepared by the owner and /or A/E to be rated by the contractor. o The descriptions of items and the units of measurement are similar to those used in a normal B.O.Q., but no quantities are given. o It is common for separate rates to be quoted for labor, plant, and materials. o Used for repair and maintenance works or under conditions of urgency. Advantages of Schedule of Rates Contract o Work can be commenced earlier than if a full B.O.Q has been prepared. Disadvantage of Schedule of Rates Contract

o No indication of the final price of the works. o Very difficult to determine which contractor submitted the most advantageous offer. o May cause financial problems to the public owners. D. Cost Reimbursement Contracts Main Aspects of Cost Reimbursement Contract o The contractor will be reimbursed for all actual costs plus an agreed fee to cover his services (overhead and profit). o The contractor must make all his records and accounts available for inspection by the client or by some agreed neutral third party. o The fee can be designated as: a) A fixed percentage of the cost of the work. b) A fixed fee. c) A fixed fee with a guaranteed top price. d) A fixed fee with bonus. e) A fixed fee with an arrangement for sharing any cost saving. o Suitablea) when the requirements of the client are vague, b) when it is desirable for design to proceed concurrently with construction

c) for emergency projects, repairs, maintenance work, and alterations. d) for project with unknown technologies or major changes. e) where the contractor possesses a special ability. f) when the client wishes to be involved in contract management. confidential processes. o Topics that should be negotiated between owner and contractor before signing a cost reimbursement contract include: a) Subcontract-letting. b) Determination and payment of fee. c) Accounting methods. d) Overheads (site and office). Advantages of Cost Reimbursement Contract o Start construction without waiting for the whole set of drawings and specifications. o More flexibility for the owner to make changes as work progresses. o Draw the contractor expertise during design. Disadvantages of Cost Reimbursement Contract o It is difficult to predict the final cost and the distribution of it, which may cause financial problems to the owner. o Contractor pays less attention to cost control.

E. Cost plus Percentage of Cost Main Aspects of Cost plus Percentage of Cost o The contractor is reimbursed for all his costs with a fixed % age of costs to cover his services. o Project/site overheads may be covered by the %age or computed as one of the costs. F. Cost plus Fixed Fee Main Aspects of Cost plus Fixed Fee o The owner pays all costs of construction with a fixed sum of money. The fee is fixed and does not fluctuate with the actual cost of the project. o The work must be fairly well defined by the owner. G. Target Cost with Variable Fees Contract Main Aspects of Target Cost Contract o The contractor and owner agree to a target estimate of construction. o Bonus or penalty arrangements are tied to this target figure. o The work must have a fairly definite nature. Drawings and specifications must be sufficiently developed to enable a reasonably accurate cost to be determined. o Cost target sharing of savings o Time target fixed sum of money for each day.

H. Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract (GMP) The contractor guarantees that he will construct the project in full accordance with the drawings and specifications and that the price to the owner will not exceed some total upset price. If the price of the work exceeds the assured maximum, the contractor pays for the excess. Contracts are often competitively bid in a manner similar to that for lump-sum contracts, but managed as cost plus. The successful bidder is determined on the combined basis of his quoted maximum price and fixed fee.

6) ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION METHODSThere are several methods available for resolving disputes between two parties. The first and most important method is through the courts. When a dispute arises between two parties belonging to the same country, there is an established forum available for the resolution of the same. The parties can get the said dispute resolved through the courts established by law in that country. Generally, this has been the most common method employed by the citizens of a country for the resolution of their disputes with the fellow citizens. ADR methods vary and their processes overlap but are all designed as alternatives to litigation and complement arbitration which is the most popular form of ADR. The methods include negotiation, early neutral evaluation or neutral fact finding, conciliation, mediation, mini trial, med-arb etc. The key factor is that all these methods are designed to assist the parties resolve their differences in a manner that is creative and most suited to the particular dispute. Some people see ADR methods as supplanting the adjudicatory system but if considered from the angle

that the courts in many jurisdictions are unable to resolve all disputes in a manner appealing to litigants, then ADR methods will be accepted as complementary to the litigation system. When a dispute arises between two persons belonging to two different countries, the difficulty arises. One option available to the parties is to go to the domestic courts of either country for the resolution of that dispute. However, this approach may have its own problems. The first is the jurisdiction of the courts. The laws relating to jurisdiction of courts in a country are not made keeping in view the transnational disputes. Normally, they are designed to resolve domestic disputes, that is, disputes arising between two citizens of the same country. The other is dissimilarity in the legal system of two countries. The problem acquires serious dimensions if the county of one party follows common law system and the country of the other party follows civil law system. In spite of tremendous work done by many international organizations and institutions, unification or uniformity of different legal systems is still a distant dream. The next is the choice of law applicable to the agreement and the consequential dispute between the parties. Availability of assets of the defendant in that jurisdiction is also a consideration for the purpose. The reason being that the enforcement of the judgments in any other jurisdiction may be a prolonged and cumbersome process. The absence of a treaty for the enforcement of foreign judgments between the two countries may render the judgments a worthless paper. If the judgment debtor happens to be a sovereign of that other country, the execution may involve claim for sovereign immunity. In some countries, sovereign assets enjoy sovereign immunity. The establishment of the fact in the court of that very country that the sovereign has waived the immunity itself will be a Herculean task. Apart from these difficulties, conventional difficulties, like undue delay in the dispensation of justice, complicated procedural formalities, transportation of entire evidence and witnesses from one country to the other country, high cost of litigation, judicial imperfection,

etc., cannot be ignored. In view of these and other difficulties, either party avoids going to the courts in the country of the other party. It is for these reasons that the alternative dispute resolution methods are becoming more popular for resolution of disputes between parties belonging to two different countries. So much so that some persons have started calling them appropriate dispute resolution methods rather than alternative dispute resolution methods. The alternative dispute resolution methods offer distinct advantages over litigation. Litigation is a process which takes place in the court rooms. These court rooms are open to public. Any member of the public can enter a court room and can watch, so long as he wishes, the court proceedings of any case. Alternative dispute resolution proceedings take place in private. They are not public proceedings. Thus, they ensure confidentiality. Further, for initiation of alternative dispute resolution methods, an agreement between the parties is an essential requirement. While litigation is an adversarial, formal and inflexible process, alternative dispute resolution methods may be less adversarial, less formal and more flexible process. In litigation, rules of evidence and procedure have to be strictly followed. In alternative dispute resolution methods, simple procedure is followed and the formal rules of evidence and procedure do not apply. Similarly, in litigation, the parties have no voice in the process of selection of judges. They are appointed and paid by the State. Such judges are not specialists in any particular branch of law or subject. They are generalists and deal with all kinds of cases. Generally, the arbitrators and other persons helping in the resolution of disputes through alternative means are selected and paid by the parties. The parties have a choice to prescribe their technical and other qualifications and experience or they can insist that the person having expertise in any particular discipline may alone be appointed. Except in rare or specified circumstances, the settlements arrived at through alternative dispute resolution methods are not subject to challenge in court of law. In addition,

the alternative dispute resolution methods offer the conventional advantages like less expensive and dispensation of quick justice, including choice of venue for the resolution of disputes. The alternative dispute resolution methods have been found satisfactory and are popular not only in the settlement of disputes between two parties belonging to two different countries but they are equally popular and common in the resolution of disputes between two parties belonging to the same country. Alternative dispute resolution encompasses a variety of methods for the resolution of disputes between the parties. The availability or deployment of any particular method of alternative dispute resolution in any specific case depends on a number of factors. The clause relating to alternative dispute resolution in the agreement between the parties, the availability of persons well versed in the process of alternative dispute resolution, the support provided by the legal system of a country to the alternative dispute resolution methods, the national or international institutional framework for alternative dispute resolution, the availability of necessary infrastructure facilities, etc., play a significant role in the selection of any particular method of the resolution of dispute. The most important, popular and common alternative method of dispute resolution is arbitration.

ARBITRATIONArbitration is one of the oldest methods for the resolution of disputes between the parties. It has existed, in one form or the other, in every country at all times. Arbitration as a process of dispute resolution offers many advantages to both the parties. In the field of arbitration, there are three international documents. However, all these three documents deal with the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. The first is Protocol on Arbitration Clauses signed at Geneva on 24th September, 1923 (commonly known as Geneva Protocol, 1923). It has 8 Articles. It has been ratified by 30 States. However, it is not very popular

amongst the States for obvious reasons. The second is the Convention on the execution of Foreign Arbitral Awards signed at Geneva in 1927 (commonly known as Geneva Convention, 1927). This Convention amended the Geneva Protocol in certain respects. According to this Convention Each High Contracting State was required to recognise as binding and to enforce, in accordance with the rules of the procedure of its territory, arbitration award made in another Contracting State pursuant to an agreement covered by the Protocol. Last, is the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards signed at New York on 10th June, 1958 (commonly known as New York Convention). This Convention gave the parties greater freedom in the choice of the arbitral authority and of the arbitration procedures. It attempted to remove the difficulties faced by the parties in the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. The New York Convention reduced and simplified the requirements with which the party seeking recognition or enforcement of an award had to comply.

FAST TRACK ARBITRATION-

Fast track arbitration is nothing but a kind of arbitration. In fact, fast track arbitration is a time bound arbitration. Fast track arbitration can be adopted for the resolution of international as well as national disputes. Many international and national institutions engaged in providing arbitration facilities have promulgated fast track arbitration rules. These rules provide, in detail, the fast track arbitration procedure. The parties can adopt the fast track arbitration rules of any international or national body or institution for the speedy and time bound resolution of their dispute. The agreement for the resolution of dispute through fast track arbitration is same as for the ordinary arbitration, except that, in addition to the provision for arbitration, it provides that the parties have agreed for fast track arbitration. Generally, subject to the agreement between

the parties, the fast track arbitral tribunal consists of sole arbitrator. However, there is no legal bar to the arbitral tribunal consisting of more than one arbitrator, that is, three arbitrators, if the parties so decide. If the fast track arbitration is by three arbitrators, the third arbitrator is called the Presiding arbitrator. The procedure for the appointment and challenge of arbitrator(s) is the same as in the case of ordinary arbitration, except that all such actions must be taken within the prescribed time limit. Fact track arbitration commences when one party gives notice of its intention to commence fast track arbitration and the said notice is received by the other party. The claimant is required to submit his statement of claims within 15 days from the date of constitution of the arbitral tribunal. Similarly, the other party is required to submit its statement of defence, including counter claim, if any, within the next fifteen days. In another 15 days, the parties may submit their rejoinders. The arbitral tribunal decides about the time limit for hearings of the case. It is also expected to deliver its award not later than 15 days from the close of the arbitration proceedings. It should be a reasoned award, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The essence of the fast track arbitration is that the time limit is fixed for every action to be taken by the parties or the arbitrator(s). The parties are not permitted or allowed to seek extension of time or postponement of any matter by the arbitral tribunal. The parties are expected to adhere to these time limits. If the claimant fails to observe the time limits without sufficient cause, the arbitral tribunal is competent to terminate the proceedings. If the respondent fails to observe the time limits without sufficient cause, the arbitral tribunal is competent to proceed ex parte in the absence of the defaulting party. ORGANIZATION CHART

Materials applications. c. Building code issues(Site logistics another important task is generally organized by the superintendent). .

2) Senior Engineer- The duties of the project manager can best be summarized under general operational areas. They are: Specific Duties of a Senior EngineerWithin the general responsibilities of a senior engineer are specific duties that must be carried out on a frequent basis, often times daily. The first duty of a senior engineer is to inspect and analyze the proposed construction project. They will not only inspect the plan itself but will go to the site location many times to ensure that the plan fits the location and vice versa. When they have adequately analyzed the situation, they will write detailed reports stating what is acceptable and what needs to be changed prior to beginning the project. Once these proposed changes have been made, the senior engineer will review the plans and project site once again to ensure that all changes have been made as required. The job of a senior engineer does not end at this point. The senior engineer will follow the project from start to finish and make any necessary changes along the way. They will ensure that procedure is being followed and check on safety features of the project during the time it is being completed. A senior engineer must use many different equations, applications and figures to ensure the proper procedure application. Items that senior engineers must take part in and use include chemical testing applications, drafting and equipment, land surveying techniques and the metric system, to name just a few pertinent items. . One who is a Senior engineer is also the key contact person regarding the construction project in many cases. They will answer questions directed towards them by individuals involved with the construction project and the general public as well. While answering questions, they will also be responsible for backing up their statements with reports, graphs, charts and surveys.

Safety EngineerResponsibilities- Safety engineers must be able to anticipate, recognize, and evaluate hazardous conditions, as well as develop hazardous control methods. These means are intended to prevent harm and damage to people and properties. Safety engineers develop procedures and designs to lessen the possibility of illnesses, injury, and other potential damages. Some are even employed in manufacturing companies to help make certain that new product designs are safe for consumers and don't generate unneeded harm or impairment. Duties of Safety Engineer- Conducts or assists in the development of and carries out research studies of existing or potential safety and issues. One of the major duties of a safety engineer is to evaluate equipment and processes to find potentially risky areas. This evaluation is possible by studying past incidents, such as fires, illnesses or chemical toxicity associated with the usage of a piece of equipment or a particular process. Through regular inspections and observations of processes as operators work, safety engineers identify defects that have the potential to cause damage or injury. Proposes new safety policies, procedures, codes and standards which can be used to integrate safety performance into the goals, operations and productivity of organizations regulated as well as the monitoring, assessment of their effectiveness in changing safety performance. Participates on teams engaged in planning, design, development and implementation of systems or programs involving hazard controls for the safety system to maximize its effectiveness. Establishes and implements techniques, which involve cost, cost-benefit analysis, work sampling, loss rate and similar methodologies, for periodic and systematic evaluation of the safety system and hazard control program effectiveness. Assists in developing

methods to evaluate the costs and effectiveness of hazard controls and safety system programs. Provides for management review, the results of evaluation assessments, including recommended adjustments and changes to safety system policies or hazard control programs. Assists in directing and to developing audit programs which assess safety performance of the entire safety system and organizations, processes or operations which are components of the system.
