All works have to be planned in a traceable manner and to be executed and accounted
based on factor catalogue (Work Value Factor = WVF)
► Before commencing the work, the CO must discuss and agree on the envisaged work
times (start of work, end of work, safety duties, etc.) with the CU.
► The CO must adapt his work times to the relevant location conditions of the CU.
The normal work time in the turnaround corresponds to a 12 hours/day x 6 days/week i.e. the
negotiated unit value is to be estimated correspondingly
Overtime is considered as supplementary working time compared with normal TAR schedule (e.g.
6 days, 12h/day).Performed work during a legal holiday will be treated according to local
legislation.
For planned activities overtime is not considered even if delays are generated and recovery plans
are requesting work outside TAR normal working schedule.
It is considered that main contractor must assure initial planning schedule compliance without
major impact on time frame.
Overtime will be considered within AWR-DM established value by common agreement between
CU and CO. At AWR reception, modification of initial contracted works may appear. If this case
might be, initial established value will be adjusted accordingly.
AWR-DM value will be calculated according to WVF where possible. If DM is not covered by
WVF financial and time value for one activity will be agreed between CU and CO.
► Larger shutdowns (more or equal with 60 mechanical days) are announced to the CO in writing
at least six months prior to the desired execution date.
► Contracting of Third Party Services by the CO Services and materials are only contracted
by the contractor only if requested by client
► For the procurement and management of "external trades", the client reimburses
max. 8 % of the relevant invoiced amount; the planning and coordination of external
services is included in the WVF.
► The client may determine alternatively that the framework agreement companies based with
the CU have to be used according to the stipulated framework agreement conditions. The
contractor shall make suitably qualified personnel available to perform the
coordination (deciding what, when, how something is to be done). This coordinator
must also ensure coordination in the sense of safe cooperation between several
trades and third-party services.
► The staff structure shall follow the pattern shown below as a minimum requirement:
► 1 site manager has a maximum of 5 team leaders under him
► A quality inspector and a safety officer are to be appointed for each team leader
► 1 team leader has a maximum of 5 foremen under him
► 1 foreman has a maximum of 8 fitters under him
This structure will be discussed and agreed with client based on assigned volume of work.
► Before commencement of work, all preliminary work such as setting up the work site,
accommodation, safety-relevant staff training etc. must be completed.
► There are several connection points available to the contractor for operating utilities
supplied by the client (electrical power, water, air according with each Refinery
facility…). The laying of the supply lines from the handover station or plug in point
(mostly at the plot boundary) is the responsibility of the contractor and is not
separately reimbursed.
► Disposal of waste of any kind created by the contractor is exclusively the concern of
the contractor. The contractor must ensure at his own expense that this waste is
disposed of properly taking the relevant provisions into consideration. The proper
removal of waste must be demonstrable and verifiable to the CU. The CO is not
permitted to dispose the waste he creates along with the company refuse of the CU
► The client's canteen is available to all those employed on the site. Sales points of
subcontractor or other companies are not permitted on the client's premises. Using
CU lunch facility is mandatory. Using canteens outside CU premises are only allowed
if lunch time is respected.
2.1.13. Communication
A digital wireless/radio system or Ex-protected mobile phones are to be used as a central
communication system. Companies working on the site shall be independent and have an
adequate number of communication devices (to the level of foreman). The intended
frequency ranges must be submitted 3 months before the start of the turnaround at the
particular location and be approved by the client.
Unproper usage of any communication devices while performing other activity (e.g.
driving,) it is prohibited.
2.1.14. Logistics
The contractor shall perform all internal transport requirements (e.g. fork-lift trucks, trailers,
tractors, hoists, …) necessary to satisfy the contract, as well as loading and unloading
operations if CU does not establish another approach of contracting such equipment. The
costs are contained in the relevant WVF sheets. If CU provides another approach, WVF
will be free of such cost. The coordination is the responsibility (at no additional charge) of
the contractor.
► The contractor must provide the corresponding fuel, lubricants and other specific
resources for the vehicles, cranes, tools and devices used as well as the
accompanying qualified operating and assistance personnel free of charge and carry
out the relevant maintenance and repair in such a way not to endanger scope
execution.
► If crane and transport work will be provided separately by the contractor as needed,
requires the written authorization from the client before the work is carried out. If the
transportation regulation requires public transport, the police permits necessary for
this shall be incumbent upon the contractor.
► Necessary riggers personnel for lifting activities are under main contractor
responsibility which will provide qualified bodies and it is only responsible in
coordination of any lifting-rigging activity in its area. Lifting accessories (e.g. ropes,
special chains, …) are also under main contractor responsibility. All lifting activities
must comply with valid legislation in each location.
2.1.16. Tools
The established unit rates include the costs of all standard tools necessary for the work at
the locations.
► Contractor must use specific industry tools, based on world current practice, assuring
scope execution in an efficient manner and minimizing used human resources as a
target of safety/congestion management aspect also.
► Assembly devices, tools etc. must correspond to the official regulations and be in an
operationally safe condition.
The client can demand the exchange of all facilities and equipment/tools not
corresponding to the safety provisions free of charge.
► Ancillary materials as well as all tools and small items for fulfilling the contract are to
be provided by the contractor and will not be reimbursed separately (slinging material,
chain/rope hoists, drill bits, wire brushes, putty knives, grinding disks, saw blades,
buckets, cleaning cloths, etc.).
► The provision of special tools is regulated contract-specifically between the CO and
CU. Not considered as special tools: pneumatics, flange splitters, dynamometric, HP
pumps, hytorques, automatic wrenches (e.g. electrical driven)
► As part of performing the services, the use of proprietary facilities of the client, his
machines, vehicles, materials etc. are only permitted with the consent of the client.
► The CO shall oblige his employees to carefully treat the materials / devices lent by
the CU and return them in full after realization of the contract. The receipt of tools
belonging to the CU by employees of the CO is to be confirmed (e.g. by a withdrawal
voucher).
2.1.17. Reporting
2.1.28. Cleaning
► The contractor shall demonstrably coordinate all cleaning work on equipment in
accordance with the latest valid program planning of the TAR manager.
► Blind nozzles, shut-off gate valves etc. are to be opened in order to achieve
successful cleaning.
► Electrical and Instrumentation equipment, reference vessels are to be removed
before cleaning
► Needed utilities (e.g. electricity) from the connection point available on site. The
supplied parameters correspond to the usual standard at the location. Customer
makes available connection points for these utilities. From this point on is contractor
responsibility for distribution.
► The contractor shall take into account the local operating media conditions in his
planning and price estimations and provide additional measures free of charge.
► If the named utility is not available for a period of time, substitute measures are to be
taken by the contractor. The remuneration takes place in the same way as in Chap.
"contracting of third party services
► The client shall draw attention to the fact that the compressed air supplied by him is
free of oil. Each location will establish available utilities for CO use.
► Free areas for storage, pre-assembly, and site facilities with the site boundaries.
► Containers for depositing industrial petroleum waste and its removal.
Attention: The contractor is alone responsible for the proper disposal of household
waste from his site facilities!
► All materials necessary for performing the work such as sheet metal, screws, bolts,
nuts, gaskets, blinds, test rings, etc. For Petrobrazi blinds are to be assured by
contractors and included into WVF.
► Acid-resistant protective suits and heavy respirators, in so far as these are necessary.
► The material provided by the client shall be made available to the site area/ store.
Before commencing the construction/assembly work, the modalities for compiling the
invoicing documents and the invoices must be regulated according with contract between
the CU and CO.
► The CO is obliged to compile all the documents necessary for the settlement in
accordance with the requirements of the CU and manage the data electronically.
► The normal work time in the turnaround corresponds to a 58-hour week, i.e. the
negotiated unit value is to be estimated for a 60-hour week.
► Sunday, holiday and shift working explicitly requested by the CU is reimbursed
at the corresponding surcharge rates. In this, the basic hourly rate is the basis,
not the mixed hourly rate or UP.
► For Petrobrazi see normal working time and overtime described above.
► The CU's deadline requirements and milestones shall be observed. Costs of
accelerating measures are borne by the contractor if no third-party responsibility can
be proved in writing.
► The reimbursement of the services performed is made on the basis of the activities
described in the WVF evaluation sheets of the client in combination with the WVF unit
price offered by the contractor.
► All guideline values in the tendered WVF evaluation sheets have a common basis.
The client therefore orients himself towards the issuing of one unified WVF unit price
(UP) for all evaluation sheets. This can then be designed to accommodate the
conditions at the different locations.
2.3.5. Flat-rates
The CU has the option of having the work quoted on the basis of the labor time values or
estimates of hours and agreeing a fixed flat fee with the CO.
► As an option, the contractor can offer the provision of pressure test blinds.
Flat rate for blinds container incl. mobilization.
For Petrobrazi blinds are considered as being coved by WVF or hourly rates.
