Although contracting engineering services for small projects does not entail the use of the more sophisticated procedures followed in large projects, the considerations are essentially the same. The contracting guidelines in Section 11.5 are intended for conventional projects, but they could also be very useful for small projects.

MEC (London U.K. and Shanghai, China), an international engineering services company, was awarded a 25 million contract by China Worldbest Group Co. Ltd. (Changzhou, China) to engineer and construct a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and carbon fiber production plant in Bengbu, a city in Anhui province, located in eastern mainland China. The plant will be the first combined polyacrylonitrile and carbon fiber manufacturing facility built in China. The operation will include production of PAN precursor, which then will be converted into carbon fiber tow at the same location. 

Engineering, procurement, and construction management may be structured as a separate contract ( EPCM services or management contract ). The contractor s task is the engineering and management of the project and in the process competitively procuring the direct field cost (DEC) elements, that is, all the physical plant and its construction, on behalf of the client or on a reimbursable basis. The 80-or-so per cent of the plant costs composing the DEC are thus subject to competitive... 

Operating Procedures for maintenance should be in place for every system component that requires periodic calibration or/and preventative maintenance. Critical parts should be listed and should be available at the user s site. The procedure should describe what. should be done, when and what the qualifications of the engineer performing the tasks should be. System components should be labeled with the date of the last and next maintenance. All maintenance activities should be documented in the instrument s log book. Suppliers of equipment should provide a list of recommended maintenance activities and procedures (SOPs) on how to perform the maintenance. Some suppliers also offer maintenance contracts with services for preventative maintenance at scheduled time intervals.
