In a large EPC infrastructure project, the owners should be closely engaged throughout the planning, design and construction phase. Seek EPC contractors that actively encourage ownership involvement.
TRANSCRIPT
Ted Pintcke | Vice President, Energy, Black & Veatch:
We like ownership involvement right from the get-go. Establishing that level of transparency, trust, working with the owner; the more owner involvement, frankly, the better.
Ernie Wright | Senior Vice President, Energy, Black & Veatch:
Our practice and our philosophy and our belief is we want to be engaged with that owner at a very deep level. We want them involved, we invite them to our weekly planning sessions on projects. There’s nothing they can’t see virtually.
Ted Pintcke | Vice President, Energy, Black & Veatch:
We work with them; we’ll go through a bid process with the equipment suppliers, but the owners are involved all the way through equipment selection, layout of the plant, maintainability of the plant. In the end, they’re going to inherit this plant that they have to operate and we want their input early in the project so that they get the kind of product they want.
Blake Childress | Senior Vice President – Design-Build, Black & Veatch:
Owners can have as much involvement in any one of those type of delivery mechanisms or any other variations of that as they choose to or as they have staff to.
Ernie Wright | Senior Vice President, Energy, Black & Veatch:
We talked about partnering, but it’s also a philosophy of being transparent, everything’s out in the open, the owner’s involved in everything that makes that all work.
Blake Childress | Senior Vice President – Design-Build, Black & Veatch:
An open book approach is just that; it is truly open book from the development of the bids to the bid packages to the purchase orders that are being issued, to the invoices that are coming in. The owner and his staff sees all of that so they can validate the pricing of what a project is truly costing them.
Ernie Wright | Senior Vice President, Energy, Black & Veatch:
Through the partnering process, through this attitude of being totally transparent, inviting the owner, not just allowing, but inviting the owner to participate in all the things we do on a project to make it successful.
Ted Pintcke | Vice President, Energy, Black & Veatch:
We’ll get part way into the project, could be 20, 30 percent of the way into the project; by that point in time, all the critical things are essentially purchased and the owner is happy with what’s been selected, they understand the price, they understand the basis of our total EPC estimate.
Blake Childress | Senior Vice President – Design-Build, Black & Veatch:
They get an opportunity to select the equipment; bid packages are put out and they can see the bids coming in.
Again, we're not afraid to let them into our house and be a part of the project solutions and make them aware of everything that's going on.
Ernie Wright | Senior Vice President, Energy, Black & Veatch:
You have to be a team, it doesn't work for one entity to win and one entity to lose. Everybody has go to win together. And that's quite possible.
I don’t know how else to say it, but we want our clients engaged.
