Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Quality – Who Needs It? “It is unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do. ” “The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can’t be done. ” John Ruskin (1819 – 1900) British Poet, Scientist and Philosopher “Price has no meaning except in terms of the quality of the product. ” Dr W. Edward Deming (1900 -1993) 07/09/2005 13

Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Quality Low cost and lack of integrity inevitably lead to poor design and poor quality in the completed project. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Quality in Selection of Consulting Engineers The procurement of consulting engineer services has the greatest impact on the Life-Cycle Cost of the project, yet is the least costly component. The Owner’s challenge is to get a good “return on investment” in design services.

Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Proposals It is essential that the consultant addresses the TOR and the evaluation criteria faithfully and accurately. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Evaluation This is a key feature of the Procurement Process which is so often carried out in a questionable way, thus frustrating quality consultants and penalising the end client. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Recommended Criteria for the Selection of the Evaluating Committee Members q q Professional Experience Familiarity with Selection and Evaluation Objectivity The Client Decides on the Number of Members q Independence 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils The Contract Agreement The recommended form of agreement is the FIDIC Client – Consultant Model Services Agreement (White Book) or at least a recognised standard contract, with appendices filled in as appropriate, reflecting the scope of work. The final TOR and the agreed methodology shall be incorporated in the scope of work. The selected firm should not be allowed to change the key staff or any major items included in its proposal, unless both parties agree that undue delay in the selection has made it necessary. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Result of Good Quality Outcome q q q Quality in Selection produces quality designs. Quality designs produce quality projects. Quality projects have fewer variation orders during construction. Fewer variation orders result in lower construction costs. Quality designs and lower construction costs result in lower life-cycle costs. Quality in Selection is in the Owner’s best interest. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Result of Poor Quality Outcome Hyatt Regency Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri In July of 1981, two elevated walkways over the lobby of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed during a party, killing 111 people and injuring 188 others. In 1995 a pedestrian bridge collapsed at the Maccabiah Games in Israel causing the deaths by drowning of about 40 athletes. Engineering services for the structures were awarded on the basis of price. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils FIDIC “ …selection of an Architect or Engineer solely on price-competition basis provides the potential for reductions in quality due to initial underestimation of the costs and resources required to adequately perform the work. ” U. S. House of Representative Subcommittee Report on Structural Failures 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Business Integrity Management q Corruption undermines the achievement of a Quality Outcome, and the practice of business integrity is crucial to fighting corruption. q FIDIC recommends that consulting engineers adopt the FIDIC Business Integrity Management System (BIMS), and that Owners have regard to this policy during selection. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Capacity Building q Improves the Quality Outcome of the constructed project. q Fee competition is detrimental to Capacity Building. q As a result of fee competition, local firms are not adequately compensated. q Banks may want to examine the need for “set-asides” of projects for local consultants. q The procurement for such “set-asides” should be based on quality principles. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Sustainability integrates the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of development, and is therefore fundamental to a Quality Outcome. q The FIDIC Project Sustainability Management (PSM) process provides a framework for the Owner and Engineer to balance project vision against cost and available alternatives, and select appropriate project goals and indicators for sustainable development. The indicators are linked back to higher level goals such as global warming, biodiversity, access to fresh water, and materials and energy use. q 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Quality-Based Project Management FIDIC recommends that consulting engineers adopt a Quality Management System, and that Owners have regard to this policy during selection. A Quality Management System is a formalized project management structure that incorporates: q Customer-focused leadership and organization; q Employee involvement; q A process and factual approach to decision making; q Continuous improvement; and q Mutually beneficial supplier (sub consultant) relationships. 07/09/2005
Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils Quality-Based Construction Quality principles extend to the tendering and construction phase. Means to incorporate quality principles include: q q 07/09/2005 Prequalification of contractors; Quality-based construction management procedures; and Documentation of contractor performance.
