Selection a contractor in e-tendering procurement of goods and service is an routine activity at tenders of Central Kalimantan government. It task is doing the selection against the contractors of e-tendering that offer documents are uploaded on the website of the official Bureau of procurement of goods and services of Central Kalimantan. Selection a contractor is a complicated task because it must be transparently but the problem is the system still lacks proper judgment for not explained about score points for contractors who do not win. System use fall system and not give a thorough explanation about contractors who did not win the tender. This research aims to be able to resolve the problem using Analysis Network Process to select contractor to provide the weight of each of the criteria. The criteria are administrative, price, technical, and prove the qualifications must be completed by each participant contractor who register on e-tendering. The contributin this research serve as a guide for the Bureau of procurement of goods and services and select the contractor in tenders held so a clear assessment and is open to contractors who follow e-tendering held Bureau Procurement of goods and services in Central Kalimantan.

Construction and investment projects inherent risks in an extremely wide range of human activity fields. An analysis of risks from the viewpoint of management and mitigation is conducted in this article. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of risk events related to the choice of an unqualified contractors performing the job. The compliance of duration implementation project, the budget amount, and the quality of performed work depend on this choice. The contractors risk assessment methods analysis showed that besides the overall criterion for all methods connected to the cost of work it is vital to take into account the qualifications, reputation, material and technical base of a contractor, the time and quality of the work performed previously. Existing methods with criteria of the choice of contractors performing the job are considered. The universal methodology with a set of criteria that satisfies all construction process participants, and based on publicly accessible information about companies and their experience is essential.

The South African government has been implementing various small and medium sized contractor development programmes in an effort to redress the legacy created by apartheid government. The programmes fulfil such an objective through awarding construction projects to the historically disadvantaged Black contractors to enable them develop competent skills, build viable construction firms, create jobs and redistribute wealth. A mentorship programme was put in place to assist the contractors with technical, managerial, contractual and business impediments they might be encountered in the project execution and in running the construction business. The main aim of the paper was to conduct an evaluation of the contractor development mentorship programme in South Africa using the Free State Province as a case study. Questionnaires were distributed to 120 small and medium contractors in the Free State Province, and a review of literature was undertaken. Financial factors were found to be amongst the leading causes of contractors’ failures. It was also established that educational qualification and experience in the construction industry have an effect in a contractor’s failure or success. A lot of contractors revealed that they were not exposed to the Contractor Development Programmes like in other provinces hence 74% did not participate in any contractor development programmes and only 26% did participate. The paper concluded with recommendations on how mentorship within the contractor development programme can be improved.

Full textAbstract:
Project management is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. Project management is aimed at meeting a clients requirement in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project. Project management is project management that applies to the construction sector. The construction industry is composed of five sectors: residential, commercial, civil, industrial, and environmental. A construction manager holds the same responsibilities and completes the same processes in each sector. All that separates a construction manager in one sector from one in another is the knowledge of the construction site. This may include different types of equipment, materials, subcontractors, and possibly locations. A contractor is assigned to a construction project once the design has been completed by the architect or is still in progress. This is done by going through a bidding process with different contractors. The contractor is selected by using one of the three selection methods: low-bid selection, best-value selection, or qualifications-based selection. A construction manager should have the ability to handle public safety, time management, decision making, mathematics, and human resources.

The number of contractor companies, especially in the field of roads every year continues to increase. Based on data obtained from LPJK website (Construction Services Development Agency) Province of Aceh Year 2016, shows that from 2,717 road contractors in Aceh Province, 1% of them are big qualification, 10% middle qualification and 89% small qualification. The problem is from the increasing number of road contractor companies in Aceh Province, it has not been followed by an increase in qualification and performance. These improvements can be seen from the quality of work, the timeliness of completion of implementation, and the efficiency of resource utilization of personnel, capital, and technology. This study aims to analyze the relationship and influence between contractor's qualification factors on the quality of road construction project, and to know the dominant factor in contractor company's qualification affecting the quality of road construction project in Banda Aceh City. This study used qualitative and quantitative methods through questionnaires, where the respondents were addressed to 90 road contractor companies. The contractor company has implemented projects from 2010-2016, with funding sources from APBA. The independent variables reviewed are contractor qualification factors consisting of legal factors, technical factors, and administrative factors, while the dependent variable is the quality of road construction projects. The results show that the legal, technical and administrative factors all have a very high relationship to the quality of road construction projects in Banda Aceh City. The contractor's qualifying factors all have a significant effect on the quality of road construction projects in Kota Banda Aceh of 91.6%. The dominant factor in the qualification of contractor companies affecting the quality of road construction projects in Banda Aceh is the technical factor. This suggests that when engineering factors are improved by contractors, the quality of road construction projects will increase.

Full textAbstract:
The findings of a recent study on the procurement of professional architectural and engineering (A/E) services in New York City are outlined in an attempt to evaluate some of the claims put forward by proponents and opponents of qualifications-based selection (QBS) of such services. QBS is a federally mandated requirement enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1972, in recognition of the need for improvements in the way in which professional A/E services are procured. The law, commonly referred to as the "Brooks Act," requires that architects and engineers be selected on the basis of their professional qualifications and subject to negotiation of a fair and reasonable compensation of such services. New York State is one of the states that adopted QBS (a total of 41 states had adopted it as of the end of 2001); but the New York State law does not cover local jurisdictions, and New York City continues to use competitive pricing as its primary method of selecting A/E contractors, citing the numerous advantages of the current system as well as the disadvantages of the proposed QBS method. The present study was based on past literature as well as recently procured projects in New York City (1997 to 1999), as presented by the New York City Mayor’s Office of Contracts during a public hearing on QBS (December 1999).

Purpose The Indonesian construction industry has to considerably rise due to the issues of quality product, organisational performance and global competitiveness faced today, along with settling several national challenges that continue to plague the construction industry. Delivering high-quality construction products and services is non-negotiable when competing for contracts with international constructors. Developing such an assessment system to evaluate the performance of Indonesian construction companies is an urgent need in order to encourage and motivate the construction companies to continually improve their performance in the execution of construction works. The purpose of this paper is to empirically test the key attributes related to the evaluation of quality and performance in the construction project-based case of Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted in the five provinces in Indonesia involving 216 construction practitioners from medium and large qualifications of construction companies. Findings On the basis of the data analysis results, the study develops the 39 key attributes that can be a basis for the development of Indonesian building construction project performance assessment system. The attributes cover construction companies’ performance during project implementation, in delivering final project results and in implementing quality procedures for building construction works. Originality/value The outcome of this study is considered significant to provide a tool for the government to assess the quality performance of contractors in delivering projects against specified standards, and a guideline for the contractors to improve their competitiveness by implementing continuous quality improvement. The confirmed attributes developed from this study is an initial step towards developing an Indonesian construction comprehensive quality performance assessment system.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the assessment of the contractor companies activity in the field of safety both before the start of work execution and during the execution of work at the construction site of the Client’s company. Analysis is given concerning the industrial injuries from 2009 to 2018 in Russia, based on which the tendency to reduce industrial injuries for the current period is determined, and the coefficients of the frequency of injuries in various countries for 2015 are calculated. Based on the performed analysis, the injury rate in Russia is still at a high level. Economic component for the materials, personnel qualifications, and savings on safety from the Client’s company can also lead to injuries at the construction site. The main reasons for low quality of the work performed at the construction site, which in turn lead to injuries, are given in the article. Matrix for the assessment of the contractor companies was developed, with the help of which it is proposed to assess all the aspects of their activities that effect on safety of the work performed. Among the assessed aspects there are sections related to training, behavior and motivation of the personnel, audits conducted by the contractor companies in relation to the subcontractors, investigation of incidents by using the current procedures and contractor personnel responsibilities. One of the matrix elements is presented for assessment. Each element from the given section is proposed to be assessed on a scale from 0 to 3, where each aspect is presented in the form of an action, an assessment of this action and its result. Recommendations on the use of this methodology in the selection of contractors are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Contractor pre-qualification is characterised as a multi-criteria problem with uncertain inputs. The criteria used for pre-qualification includes qualitative and quantitative information. Owing to the nature of pre-qualification, which depends on subjective judgements of construction professionals, it becomes an art rather than a science. Two approaches are found in the literature to model the contractor's pre-qualification criteria; Linear and non-linear models. The main aim of this research is to offer a rational method for contractor prequalification that enables to pre-qualify the contractors who are able to achieve the client's objectives. The main question guiding the research is how to be sure that the selected contractor is able to achieve the client's objectives. It is believed that there is an indirect relationship between the contractor's attributes and the contractor's ability to achieve the client's objectives. The time, cost and quality overruns of a project have been used as indicators to measure the contractor's ability to achieve client's objectives. To achieve this aim, the methodologies used included literature review, questionnaires, surveys, and hypothetical and real-life case studies. This work suggested improvements to the previous contractor pre-qualification models by using a hybrid model, combining the merits of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Neural Networks (NN) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) in one consolidated model called the Genetic Neural Network (GNN) model. AHP was used to establish relative weights of the contractor's pre-qualification criteria; NN was used as the main processing tool to find a relationship between the contractor's attributes and his performance. The GA was used to select the appropriate topology of the network. The data collected from questionnaires 1 and 2 were utilized to establish relative weights of contractors attributes. Hypothetical and real-life case studies from executed projects in the Gaza Strip and West Bank were collected through structured questionnaires. The actual evaluation of the contractor's attributes and the actual performance of the contractor in these projects in terms of overrun of time, cost and quality were collected. The weighted attributes were used as inputs to the GNN model. The corresponding time, cost, and quality overruns for the same case were fed as outputs to the GNN model in a supervised learning back propagation neural network. The adopted training and testing processes to develop a trained model are presented. The accuracy of the model was investigated using Average Absolute Error *^ (AAE), Mean Square Error (MSE) and correlation co-efficient (R ). The factors: AAE; MSE; and R2 showed a very good accuracy when comparing model prediction with actual real-life cases. The results revealed that there is a satisfactory relationship between the contractor attributes and the corresponding performance in terms of contractor's deviation from the client objectives. The GNN model is able to predict future contractor performance in terms of time, cost, and quality overruns. Therefore, the evolved model is able to predict the contractor performance. Key words: Pre-qualification, Contractors, Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithm, Model, Contractor Performance.

Full textAbstract:
Public contracts constitute a special method of making contracts, where one side is represented by a public contractor, who intends to expend public funds. There are legal adjustments aimed to make this expenditure effective and economical. The domain of public contracts is also significant for the European Union, and there are standard procedures which should guarantee that subjects from any member state can apply for the public contracts. Consequently the public contracts adjustment is also included in the European law, in the form of directions. The topic of public contracts is a very complex one, therefore in my research I concentrate only on its more important aspects. First, I follow the historic development in this domain and how it was influenced by European law. Then I discuss the main institutes of public contracts, such as the definition of public contract itself, individual assignment procedures, the issue of qualification, methods of offer evaluation and law supervision. In the final part I provide some findings from application practice. Basic conclusions of my work identify the excessively complicated and formal legal regulations, which are often consequence of frequent changes of public contracts legislation, to be a main obstacle for the proper law application. In my opinion, the solution to this situation should consist in stabilizing the legal regulations in its present form. This would mean that the emerging problems could be solved by judicial doctrina.

O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar uma análise profunda sobre os contratos built to suit ou contratos de locação nos contratos de construção ajustada. Para tanto, parte-se do exame das peculiaridades, obrigações e dos deveres inerentes a esse modelo contratual. A partir daí, com base na teoria dos contratos atípicos, busca-se apresentar as variáveis e os critérios que podem nortear sua qualificação e, como consequência, a definição das regras a ele aplicáveis. Pretende-se também apresentar o exame do contrato no contexto de conexão negocial no qual ele normalmente se insere na prática jurídica. As conclusões dessa análise serão, ao final, examinadas à luz da Lei do Inquilinato, especialmente das alterações incluídas pela Lei nº. 12.744, de 19 de dezembro de 2012.The purpose of this essay is to present an in-depth assessment of built to suit contracts or lease agreements in adjusted construction contracts. To that end, this essay will first analyze the particularities, obligations and duties that are inherent to that contractual type. Subsequently, based on the unregulated contracts doctrine, this essay will seek to present the variables and criteria that may serve as guidelines to qualify those contracts and, accordingly, to unveil the rules applicable to them. This paper will also examine those contracts in their business context from a legal practice perspective. Lastly, the conclusions of this assessment will be considered in light of the Brazilian Tenancy Law, and more specifically of the amendments brought by Law No. 12,744, of December 19, 2012.

Le concept de contrat de financement participatif des œuvres de l’esprit, est ignoré de la théorie générale du contrat, tout comme des contrats d’auteur. La pratique a façonné un nouveau genre de contrat encore méconnu du droit. Les faits anticipant le droit, un travail de qualification est nécessaire et primordial pour l’étude et le maniement du concept. Le renouvellement des modes de diffusion et d'exploitation des œuvres conduit à l'apparition de conventions apparemment innommées créées par la pratique, conventions qu'il convient de confronter non seulement aux modèles du droit d'auteur, mais aussi de la théorie générale des obligations. Ce contrat de financement participatif ne fait qu'entourer la levée de fonds réalisée auprès d’un large public de particuliers pour financer un projet spécifique via une plate-forme sur internet est rattaché selon les modèles de plate-forme, soit au droit d'auteur soit au droit civil. La fonction de modèle du contrat nommé impose de confronter le contrat de financement participatif, aux modèles du genre que sont les contrats spéciaux du code civil, ainsi que ceux du code de la propriété intellectuelle. Ce travail de rattachement présente un intérêt pratique évident : éclairer et compléter le régime des contrats, en donnant un cadre juridique à de nouvelles formes de conventions. Il sera révélé que cette confrontation ne se fait pas sans heurts, notamment quant au régime envisageable, et qu’il apparaît nécessaire de faire du contrat de financement participatif, un contrat spécialThe concept of a contract for the participatory financing of works of the mind is ignored by the general theory of the contract, as well as by contracts of authorship. Practice has shaped a new kind of contract that is still unrecognized in law. Facts anticipating law, this work of qualification is necessary and primordial for the study and the handling of the concept. The renewal of the modes of dissemination and exploitation of works leads to the appearance of apparently unnamed conventions created by practice, which should be confronted not only with copyright models but also with the general theory of obligations. This participative financing contract merely entails the raising of funds made with a large public of individuals to finance a specific project via a platform on the Internet is attached according to models of platform, either to the civil law. The model function of the named contract imposes a confrontation of the participatory financing contract with the models of the kind that are the special contracts of the civil code, as well as those of the code of the intellectual property. This work of attachment is of obvious practical interest: to clarify and complete the contract system, giving a legal framework to new forms of agreements. It will be revealed that this confrontation is not uneven, particularly about the possible regime, and that it appears necessary to make the contract of participatory financing, a special contract

Full textAbstract:
The mortgage industry played a major role in the recession faced by the U.S. economy in 2008, with approximately 8.8 million borrowers, or 10.8% of all homeowners, with negative equity in their homes. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies mortgage loan executives use to prequalify mortgage loan applicants. The target population consisted of 8 mortgage executives at 5 mortgage lending firms located in northwest Arkansas who demonstrated strategies to enhance the prequalification of mortgage loan applicants. The conceptual framework for the study was the theory of asymmetric information. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted and the home loan toolkit and standard disclosure packets were reviewed. The data analysis technique used in this study followed Yin's 5-step data analysis process. Each interview response was interpreted, synthesized, and shared with the participant for validation during the follow-up member checking meeting. I coded the data to identify similarities in the data and prevalent themes, and to align the new data with previous literature. Based on methodological triangulation and thematic analysis, 4 themes emerged: counseling, government guidelines and regulation, disclosure, and literacy. Social change benefits include a more knowledgeable mortgage consumer that will benefit from enhanced education by the mortgage lender, which may result in lower mortgage defaults. This can increase homeowners' self-esteem, provide for community growth and development, and stabilize, and eventually grow, property tax revenues that could strengthen communities by expanding services and improving infrastructure.

Haddad, Mimoun Eloïse. "Les notions de contrat d'assurance." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01D069.
Full textAbstract:
Le contrat d'assurance bénéficie d'un régime spécifique, énoncé dans le code des assurances. Néanmoins il ne fait l'objet d'aucune définition législative. Or, comme la mise en œuvre d'un régime dépend de l'opération de qualification et que les entreprises d'assurance sont astreintes à un principe de spécialité, l'identification des éléments constitutifs de la catégorie est une nécessité. Jusqu'à présent, ni la jurisprudence, ni la doctrine n'ont apporté de définition pleinement convaincante. En effet, s'il existe un consensus pour définir le contrat d'assurance comme une convention dans laquelle une partie garantit un risque en échange du paiement d'une prime, il demeure que les notions de risque et de garantie suscitent de nombreuses interrogations. La qualification du contrat d'assurance implique de définir en premier lieu la notion conceptuelle de ce contrat, élaborée à partir de sa cause typique. Elle implique de préciser la cause des contrats aléatoires, ainsi que d'éclairer le contenu de la notion de garantie, notion complexe qui renvoie à la mutualisation des risques. Par ailleurs, il existe des situations dans lesquelles le régime du contrat d'assurance est appliqué à d'autres contrats, en raison de choix politiques. Il existe donc des notions fonctionnelles de contrat d'assurance. Ainsi, les entreprises d'assurance souscrivent des contrats de pari qui échappent à l'exception de jeu car ils servent une fonction de garantie. De plus, depuis 2004, le régime de faveur en matière fiscale et patrimoniale réservé aux contrats d'assurance-vie est applicable aux contrats commutatifs d'épargne souscrits auprès des entreprises d'assuranceThe insurance contract has a dedicated regime, described in the insurance code. Nevertheless, it has no legal definition. However, as the implementation of a regime depends on the qualification, and the insurance companies are bound by a principle of specialty, an identification of the elements constituting the category of the insurance contract is needed. Nevertheless, neither jurisprudence nor doctrine has provided a fully convincing definition. Indeed, while there is consensus that the insurance contract should be defined as an agreement in which a party guarantees a risk in exchange for the payment of a premium, the fact remains that the notions of risk and guarantee raise many questions. Undertaking the qualification of the insurance contract implies first defining the conceptual notion of this contract, developed based on its typical cause. It involves detailing the cause of aleatory contracts, as well as clarifying the content of the notion of guarantee, a complex notion that refers to the risk-pooling technique. In addition, there are some situations in which the regime of the insurance contract is applied to conceptually distinct contracts because of political choices. There are therefore functional notions of insurance contract. Indeed, insurance companies subscribe to gambling contracts which escape the gambling exclusion because they serve as a guarantee. Moreover, since 2004, the preferential tax and heritage regime for life insurance policies is now also applicable to savings contracts subscribed to insurance companies, despite their commutative nature

Full textAbstract:
Suite à l’émergence de nouveaux moyens de communication et de transport, la seconde moitié du XXème siècle a connu un développement massif de la société internationale et des règles de droit attenantes. Malgré cet essor, la pensée de Bartin selon laquelle les règles de droit interne se projettent dans l’ordre international, ainsi que la mise en lumière de l’antériorité du droit interne par Batiffol, amènent à croire que le droit international privé n’est que le strict reflet du droit interne. Le droit international privé, bien qu’international par son objet, reste alors traditionnellement attaché au droit national pour y puiser sa source. Les relations juridiques entre personnes privées, comportant ou non un élément d’extranéité, sont ainsi envisagées au travers du prisme du droit interne. L’influence se réalise dès lors naturellement dans le sens du droit privé interne vers le droit international privé. Le but de cette étude est de rechercher et de justifier l’apparition d’un mouvement inverse : existe-il aujourd’hui une influence du droit international privé sur le droit interne français ? Le droit international privé, de par ses méthodes (la qualification, les règles de conflit, les règles matérielles) et son approche particulière des rapports de droit, détachée parfois de certaines considérations nationales, permettrait dorénavant de percevoir certaines faces cachées du droit interne. Si cette intuition venait à être confirmée, le droit international privé, tant conflictuel que matériel, devrait alors être considéré comme un modèle juridique moderne exerçant sa force d’attraction dans le droit interne qui l’avait initialement fait écloreFollowing the emergence of new means of communication and transportation, the second half of the twentieth century witnessed a massive development of the international society with its corresponding legal rules. However, the thought of Bartin that domestic law rules are projected into the international legal order, added to Batiffol opinion that domestic law always takes precedence over international law, lead us to believe that Private International Law is nothing but a strict reflection of domestic law. Although international by its object, Private International Law remains traditionally linked to domestic law where it draws its source. Therefore, whether or not containing a foreign element, legal relations between private persons are always considered through the prism of internal law. In that sense, domestic law does naturally shape International Private Law.The aim of this study is to investigate and justify the reverse movement : is there today an influence of Private International Law toward French law? By its methods (such as qualification, conflict of law rules or substantive rules), Private International Law in a specific approach of legal relationships that is detached from domestic considerations, allows to perceive some hidden aspects of internal law. If this were to be a confirmed intuition, conflicting and substantive Private International Law, should then be considered a new modern legal model, influencing the domestic law in which it originally blossomed

Full textAbstract:
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Engineering, 11 August 2015This research set out to investigate two relationships; the relationship between technical qualifications and emerging contractor project performance, and the relationship between experience and emerging contractor project performance. The focus was on emerging contractors in the public sector. This study was motivated by the notion that emerging contractors generally fail and have poor project performance. The objective of the report was to determine the general factors that affect emerging contractor performance and demonstrate the relationship between competence and project performance. Information pertaining to progress and performance for thirty projects from a government institution in Mpumalanga Province was collected. This information included contact details of the contractors who conducted the 30 government infrastructure projects. The contact details were used to collect contractors’ curriculum vitaes and company profiles in order to extract information on qualifications and experience. Literature has shown that the most prevalent issues facing emerging contractors in South Africa can be attributed to the contractors’ competencies. These competencies include skills, experience, qualifications and project management knowledge. Other factors that affect emerging contractor performance include project delays caused by late payments by clients, shortage of labour and lack of financial resources and equipment. The results of this study showed that contractors with technical qualifications and experience generally perform better than those with no technical background. It was also found that where there is no technical background, the level of education also affects the level of project performance. This study demonstrated the importance of the number of technical or construction related projects conducted by an emerging contractor company as compared to the number of years that the company has been in operation. The number of projects conducted, regardless of timeline, is more beneficial to project performance than the number of years in operation in the construction industry. This study recommends that focus should be drawn to the definite need to develop emerging contractor competence through skills development, training, collaborations and knowledge sharing. Competence development should focus on transferring technical knowledge and experience through policy formulation, collaboration of government and educational or training institutes. Focus should also be drawn to developing project management competence of emerging contractors in the South African public sector.

Full textAbstract:
The development of software applications generally requires the following: hardware resources (computers, networks, peripherals, etc.), software resources (data, tools, etc.), human resources (individuals with various qualifications), and working methods. These resources are distributed in different autonomous software development environments. A single environment does not always have all the necessary resources to realize some large and/or complex projects. Therefore, collaboration between the environment in charge of the project (coordinator) and others (contractors) will be required to do the job. While several research projects have contributed to various aspects of collaboration among software development environments during the past decade, little has been done on explicitly defining and modeling processes and environment artifacts involved in such partnerships. That is what this chapter is about. In the context of this study, environments work together by assigning tasks and sharing working methods. Tasks and working methods can be defined explicitly using process models. Process models, already the main focus in monolithic software development, will still be an important factor in our approach of collaborative software development. Because they are process-based, all software development environments considered here will be qualified in the continuation of Process-sensitive Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs).

Much of today's higher education landscape, particularly for vocational training providers, is market driven and highly reflexive to consumer needs. Industry and employers who require specific professional credentials have a strong influence on programme design and curriculum development. In this chapter, we will explore New Zealand's first and only qualification for offshore and onshore professionals working with future immigrants. This qualification draws on features of open learning courses, and illustrates a pathway for education delivery that moves beyond traditional models into a 21st Century modality. The student demographic comprises a large number of mature learners, who have enrolled to gain formal credentials in their field, are moving to a new career, or may be seeking additional expertise to complement a suite of skills to offer their organisation, or as self-employed contractors/consultants. This population is a good example of lifelong learning applied to personal and professional lifestyle choices.

It addresses situations of redundancy, and the rights of individuals and obligations on employers when the business is transferred to a new owner. Each of these measures offer protection to employees, and employers should understand the nature of these rights, the qualifications necessary for each mechanism, and the remedies available, to ensure they select the most appropriate mechanism to bring the employment relationship to an end. Before the 1960s, contracts of employment were largely dealt with by the ‘normal’ rules of contract law and were often heard by courts that hear contractual disputes. It is important to be aware of the mechanisms that will enable termination of the employment relationship without transgressing the law in order to maintain good working relations.

We investigate the impact of labour relations (including use of flexible labour and certain HRM practices) on a firm’s innovative output. Using firm-level data for the Netherlands, we find that active HRM practices such as job rotation, performance pay, high qualification levels of personnel, as well as making use of employees with long-term temporary contracts contribute positively to innovative output, the latter being measured by the log of new product sales per employee. Furthermore, firms that retain high levels of highly qualified personnel are more likely to introduce products that are new to the market (other than only’new to the firm’). Our findings contribute to the growing literature on determinants of innovative performance.

"The approach adopted here appears to be reasonable at first glance. However, quite apart from the specific difficulties it causes in relation to contracts made via standard forms, there are, on closer examination, some difficulties with the basic approach. It appears to envisage that all contractual negotiations are ‘cut and dried’, so that each party in turn stakes out their position and (normally) wholly rejects the position of the other (if they do not unconditionally accept it). The reality of most negotiations is, of course, very different – an offeree may wish to accept the basic proposal of another whilst introducing modifications, say, as to time of delivery, or payment by instalments. The rigidity of the basic model adopted by English law does not readily allow for this, in that any significant modification contained in a proposed acceptance will be seen as a counter-offer (to be valid, an acceptance must be unconditional) and as a rejection of the original offer. The law does not seem to provide for ‘in principle’ acceptances or commitments. One slight qualification to the above is that a mere enquiry will not be viewed as a counter-offer – an offeree can request information about the offer without rejecting it (although without some subsequent unconditional acceptance, there will equally be no contract and the offer may eventually lapse or be revoked). The point is demonstrated well in the case of Stevenson, Jacques and Co v McLean. The defendant, being possessed of warrants for iron, wrote from London to the plaintiff at Middlesborough, asking whether they could get him an offer for the warrants. Further correspondence ensued and, ultimately, the defendant wrote to the plaintiff fixing 40 s per ton net cash as the lowest price at which he could sell, stating that he would hold the offer open till the following Monday. The plaintiff, on Monday morning at 9.42 am, telegraphed to the defendant: ‘Please wire whether you would accept 40 for delivery over two months or, if not, longest limit you could give.’ The defendant sent no answer to this telegram and, after its receipt on the same day, he sold the warrants and, at 1.25 pm, telegraphed to plaintiff that he had done so. Before the arrival of his telegram to that effect, the plaintiff, having at 1 pm found a purchaser for the iron, sent a telegram at 1.34 pm to the defendant, stating that they had secured his price. The defendant refused to deliver the iron and the plaintiff brought an action against him for non-delivery. Lush J, at first instance, found that a binding contract had come into being at 1.34 pm: Stevenson, Jacques and Co v McLean (1880) 5 QB 346, p 349." In Sourcebook on Contract Law, 99–100.

Full textAbstract:
In November 2013 the revised ASME PCC-1 “Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Joint Assembly” were published including Appendix A, “Training and Qualification of Bolted Joint Assembly Personnel.” This Appendix outlines a training, examination and qualification system for ensuring a consistent level of knowledge and experience for bolting assemblers and specialists working on bolted flange joint assemblies. The ultimate objective is a mobile workforce capable of bolting ASME plant with a minimum performance standard safely and with no subsequent leaks. Major operators and contractors involved in oil and gas, petrochemical and power generation, or any industry that uses bolted flange joint assemblies, can benefit from PCC-1. Benefit recognition has begun with operators now specifying PCC-1 compliance in their procedures and bid packages. However, nearly three years after the introduction of Appendix A the number of Qualifying Organizations approved to deliver the program and individuals qualified via these programs remains stubbornly small in comparison with other programs and insufficient to meet the future safety demands of the industry or the objective of PCC-1 and Appendix A. This technical paper reviews key elements of Appendix A, compares Appendix A with other international qualifications and suggests recommendations intended to increase recognition and compliance with these guidelines. The recommendations and expected benefits follow from an extensive review of work by other organizations and published data concerned to reduce recorded leaks from bolted joints, including: a) Implementation lessons learned from a Qualifying Organization and Review Organization. b) Current international qualifications and the differing routes to achieve each qualification including: 1) ASME PCC-1 Appendix A Training and Qualification of Bolted Joint Assembly Personnel. 2) European standard EN1591-4 Qualification of personnel competency in the assembly of the bolted connections of critical service pressurized systems. 3) Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) Mechanical Joint Integrity (MJI) technical training standards and Step Change in Safety Mechanical Joint Integrity Route to Competence Guidance 4) Additional country specific qualifications c) Program effectiveness study of the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) Mechanical Joint Integrity (MJI) program and the Step Change in Safety Hydrocarbon Release (HCR) model set up to achieve leak reduction in the UK North Sea sector. Finally, the paper will conclude with outlining the benefits to be gained globally through standardization of international qualification programs to enable true portability including: a) The need to increase the number of auditable Qualifying Organizations able to deliver the program, qualify individuals and engage operator/contractors in the process. b) Importance of effective communication and summary of the guidelines.

Full textAbstract:
The GasPacífico Project involved the construction of 543 kilometres of NPS 20 and NPS 24 high pressure gas pipeline to connect the natural gas reserves in the Province of Neuquen, Argentina to the industrial and domestic demand in and near the city of Concepción, Chile. The pipeline crossed the Pampas of Argentina, the imposing Andes mountain range, the Coastal mountain range and the highly populated agricultural terrain of the Central Valley (740 individual landowners in total) leading to the west coast of Chile. TransCanada International Ltd. was responsible for the overall project management of the GasPacifico Project which included design, construction and contract administration. In March 1998, the Project Team began the procedure to pre-qualify bidders, to prepare contract documents and to call for bids in preparation for the selection of construction contractors for the project. Contracts were awarded on July 30, 1998. The proper selection of the Contractors was considered of paramount importance in the project because of the high degree of difficulty of the project, the budget constraints, and the very limited time available for construction. The details of the process established for the selection of the Contractors for the GasPacífico Project as presented in this paper include: • the criteria for the pre-qualification of the bidders; • the technical evaluation format; • the commercial evaluation format; • sensitivity studies for unit rate items and extra work; • the application of the technical/commercial evaluations to the final selection.

Full textAbstract:
Under the background of Sanmen AP1000 NPP Project, World’s First AP1000 Project, this article looks into SPMO management over contractor special process personnel qualification under EPC mode. The project management mode is briefed and the theory basis of the study is discussed, in terms of nuclear safety regulation ASME NQA-1, HAF003 and industrial safety regulations, as well as quality management theory. Contractor special process personnel qualification is generally unmanageable, mainly resulting in negative chain quality problems, objective of the study aims at solving the problems and managerial dilemmas of contractor special process personnel qualification management on site. Quality assurance system is maintained according to ASME NQA-1, and special process is implemented in compliance with the specification of special process control procedures developed for particular special processes, such as welding, NDE, painting, etc. Personnel training, authorization, certificate, operation experiences and pertinent requirements are specified in personnel qualification procedures. The method and process of special process personnel qualification management is created under SPMO quality assurance system, in the scope of SPMO management, while detailed and comprehensive classification of special process personnel qualification is defined with originality. On the basis of ingenious classification and management practice, the author summarizes a systematic management methodology of contractor special process personnel qualification under EPC mode. Classification management, standardized checklist implementation, and site surveillance are integrated for special process personnel management. Outstanding effect and performance are achieved by demonstrating the systematic management methodology, providing effective experience for follow-up AP1000 project which has significant meaning for enhancing contractor special process control and ensuring AP1000 construction quality.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Ærfugl field is close to the existing Skarv development located in Norwegian Sea, making it a tie-back opportunity. The hydrate management and operational savings were major drivers for the subsea system design requiring the use of an electrically heated trace flowline (EHTF). The scope of this paper is to present how the EHTF technology has been further developed, qualified and industrialized during the execution of the Ærfugl project. It will also illustrate how a unique collaborative model between an Operator, an SPS Contractor and an EPCI Contractor contributed to the delivery of the first heated Pipe in Pipe system on a sizable project. Starting from a conceptual technology selection to the project delivery, numerous qualifications were performed to validate the EHTFsystem design and ease its industrialization. The development of a new technology starts from the component design through system qualification up to the installation phase. It is of prime importance that all the different phases of the system life cycle are equally considered, as being interdependent. By using this holistic design approach right from the start of the qualification phase, the final product eventually meets all the requirements, from the component specification to the system performance. The collaborative model in place on the Ærfugl project allowed the efficient integration of the Operator at each different step of the design, qualification and industrialization process resulting in delivery schedule savings when compared to a conventional project delivery approach. Several important development activities took place during the Ærfugl project and the holistic design approach backed by robust system engineering processes enabled a smooth and efficient workflow supporting the onshore fabrication and offshore installation readiness activities. Several fabrication challenges were overcome during the project to safely deliver the EHTF solution with a continuous focus on quality and this paper will also cover the most relevant ones. Following the Ærfugl project execution, the EHTF technology, supported by a unique collaborative model with the operator, is now fully qualified, and deployed offshore based on robust and reliable manufacturing and installation methods.

Full textAbstract:
In August and September of 2003, Terasen Pipelines (Trans Mountain) Inc. successfully completed the Horizontal Directionally Drilled [HDD] replacement of it’s NPS 24” pipeline crossing at the Fraser River from Surrey to Coquitlam in southwestern British Columbia. The pipeline replacement was necessary to mitigate the high seismic risk from liquefaction induced lateral spreading of soils on the north and south shores of the Fraser River. The high level of urban development and the close proximity of major linear infrastructure on both sides of the river created spatial restrictions which increased the complexity and risk of the HDD crossing. Measures to reduce construction risks and limit Terasen’s exposure to claims for changed subsurface conditions, environmental damage due to frac-outs, delays, pipe and coating damage, and inability to complete the crossing, were applied. Important strategies used during planning and construction of the crossing included: proper selection of the pipeline route and laydown corridor, site specific geotechnical investigation, HDD annular pressure monitoring, HDD electronic drilling recording, and a contractor pre-qualification process. The final result was that the contractors successfully drilled and installed the 1293m long HDD crossing over a period of one month, without incident. This paper presents the challenges and solutions implemented by the project team to bring the project to its successful conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
Sgraffito is a historical decorative technique applied in walls. This decoration could be seen in different European cities or villages. Nowadays, this decoration technique is almost disappeared because of decomposition, inexperience or lack of knowledge. Moreover, the preservation and restoration of sgrafitto technique is the most challenging and important task of cultural heritage buildings’ preservation. Therefore, the preservation of sgraffito depends not only the historic and architectural knowledge, studies or conservation projects of the cultural heritage buildings, but also demands the experience, proper qualification and knowledge of contractor. This paper presents criteria set for selecting sgraffito techniques’ contractor of heritage buildings. The study determines methods, set of criteria for sgraffito technique’s contractor selection, overview of sets the assessment criteria of selecting contractor. The research applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process method (AHP), seeking to determine the critical criteria and to get the weighting for each criterion.

Full textAbstract:
BELGONUCLEAIRE has been operating the Dessel MOX plant at industrial scale between 1986 and 2006. In this period, 40 metric tons of plutonium (HM) has been processed into 90 reloads of MOX fuel for commercial light water reactors. The decision to stop the production in 2006 and to decommission the MOX plant was the result of the shrinkage of the MOX fuel market owing to political and customer’s factors. As a significant part of the decommissioning project of the Dessel MOX plant, about 170 medium-sized glove boxes and about 1.300 metric tons of structure and equipment outside the glove boxes are planned for decommissioning. The license for the decommissioning of the MOX plant was granted by Royal Decree in 2008 and the decommissioning works started in March 2009; the decommissioning works are executed by an integrated organization under leadership and responsibility of BELGONUCLEAIRE with 3 specialized contractors, namely TECNUBEL N.V., the joint venture (THV) BELGOPROCESS / SCK·CEN and STUDSVIK GmbH. In this paper, after having described the main characteristics of the project, the authors introduce the different organisational and technical options considered for the decommissioning of the glove boxes, and the main decision criteria (qualification of personnel and of processes, confinement, cutting techniques & radiation protection, safety aspects, alpha-bearing waste management) are analyzed as well. The progress, the feedback and the lessons learned mid 2011 are presented, giving the principal’s and contractors point of view as well.

The decision to stop the production in 2006 and to decommission the MOX plant was the result of the shrinkage of the MOX fuel market due to political and commercial factors. As a significant part of the decommissioning project of the Dessel MOX plant, about 170 medium-sized glove-boxes and about 1.200 metric tons of structure and equipment outside the glove-boxes are planned for dismantling. The license for the dismantling of the MOX plant was granted by Royal Decree in 2008 and the dismantling started in March 2009. The dismantling works are carried out by an integrated organization under leadership and responsibility of BELGONUCLEAIRE; this organization includes 3 main contractors, namely Tecnubel N.V., the THV (‘Tijdelijke HandelsVereniging’) Belgoprocess / SCK•CEN and Studsvik GmbH and TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING as project manager. In this paper, after having described the main characteristics of the project, the authors review the different organizational and technical options considered for the decommissioning of the glove-boxes; thereafter the main decision criteria (qualification of personnel and of processes, confinement, cutting techniques & radiation protection, safety aspects, alpha-bearing waste management) are analyzed as well. Finally the progress, the feedback and the lessons learned at the end of August 2013 are presented, giving the principal’s and contractors point of view.
