Contracts technology package

The technology package for the toll should be at least partially established prior to starting the active search for a toller. This will assist you in defining the level and areas of expertise needed for the project. Some companies that frequently let toll contracts have internal service groups that assist in the toller selection process. An example of an internal questionnaire used at such a company is shown in Example 2-1. It is an excellent way to identify the expertise required for a specific tolling project. 

Example 2-1 is just a start for preparing the final technology package to be included with the contract but it provides enough information for a client to identify the special needs required of the candidate tollers. It may need to be modified to meet the specific needs of your situation.

Ensure the replacement person is given access to the historical records of the toll contract, technology package, MOC packages, and incident investigations. 

Like decontamination, directions for proper waste disposal should be indicated in the initial technology package. In some cases, the client company should be very involved in how certain wastes are handled and disposed of, and may even maintain control over this part of the toll. Both parties have vested interest in assuring waste disposal is properly completed and adequately documented prior to termination of contract. 

Most tolls involve the transfer of proprietary information from one party to the other, typically from the client company to the toller. Each party should have maintained a log of transferred documents or software code to make the return of proprietary documents a simple matter. An initial list of the documents should have been referenced in the contract or as part of the technology package. Keeping records of additional documents transferred during the course of the toll will help eliminate confusion at the end of the project. The toller may need to retain documents appropriate for their process safety system needs.

Key technical staff become unavailable for the toll or leave the company. Attempt to interview and extract key information from the persons prior to their departure. Arrange for an overlap period for the key person and their replacement. Train the replacement. Ensure the replacement person is given access to the historical records of the toll contract, technology package, MOC packages, and incident investigations. 

Contracts were awarded in March 2000, and preliminary EDPs were drafted by the technology providers in June 2000. Each EDP includes drawings and documentation, a preliminary hazards analysis, and projected life-cycle costs and schedules for the technology package to be implemented at a particular site. The final EDPs were released in December 2000. Experimental tests to support the EDPs were begun in June 2000, but some had not been completed when this report was prepared. Einal reports are expected to be published in mid-2001. 

Manufacturing Technology For VLSIC Packaging, Hughes Aircraft Final Report, Navy Contract N66001-88-C-0181 (Jun. 28, 1993)... 

The technology enables the making of low-density foams without using auxiliary blowing agents such as methylene chloride. The process is utilised to incorporate a specifically designed fire-retardant package into the base PU foams so that the post-treated foams easily meet all US federal requirements for aircraft seat cushion, contract furniture and mattresses for hostels, prisons, and other multi-occupancy public institutions, etc. They also satisfy naval and military standards as well.
