  5. Elements of Contract Mutual agreement: offer and acceptance Considerations: payment Contract capability: contract is binding only if the contractor has the capability to perform the work Legal purpose: contract must be for a legal purpose Form: contract must reflect contractor’s legal obligation or lack of obligation to deliver end products Project Procurement Management

  6. Contract Terminology Target or Estimated Cost Level of cost that contractor will most likely obtain under normal performance conditions Target or Expected Profit Profit value that is negotiated for Profit Ceiling and Profit Floor Maximum and minimum values, respectively of total profit Price Ceiling or Ceiling Price Measured as a given percentage of target cost Project Procurement Management

  7. Contract Terminology Maximum and Minimum Fees Percentages of target cost and establish outside limits of contractor’s profit Sharing Arrangement Savings are shared among customer and contractor Point of Total Assumption Point (cost or price) where contractor assumes all liability for additional costs Project Procurement Management

  8. Contract Reviews • Pink Team Reviews • A seller responds to an RFP by developing a proposal. For sanity purposes, the proposal is passed through the pink team once the outline is completed. The pink team looks at the outline through the perspective of the buyer. The purpose of the team is to catch problems with the proposal in the early stages.

  9. Contract Reviews • Red Team Reviews • Once the proposal is in draft form, it passes through a red team which again looks at the proposal through the buyer’s perspective.

  10. Contract Origination • Contract Origination • Two ways in which a contract can originate: unilaterally or bilaterally • Unilaterally: • Common form for contract is a relatively simple type of document called a Purchase order (PO). • A purchase order is used when routine, standard cost items are needed. • A purchase order is legally binding and should be specific.

  11. Contract Origination • Contract Origination • Two ways in which a contract can originate: unilaterally or bilaterally • Bilaterally: • Procurement documents are used to solicit proposals from prospective sellers. The procurement document then becomes the basis for the seller’s proposal. • The following are examples of Bilateral procurement documents: • Request for quotation (RFQ) • Request for proposal (RFP) • Invitation for Bid (IFB)

  12. RFP – Request for Proposal • RFP – Request for Proposal • A type of bid document used to solicit proposals from prospective sellers of products or services. In some application areas, it may have a more specific meaning. • Items or services are usually high dollar and non-standard. • Examples: construction project, a research and development project; a made-to-order, highly complex piece of machinery. • Blueprints, drawings, specifications, and other appropriate data should be included with proposal.

  13. RFP vs IFB • Invitation for Bid (IFB) - PMBOK equates this with Request for Proposal and recognizes that it may have a more specific meaning in certain application areas. (appropriate for high dollar, standard items.)

  14. RFQ - Request for Quotation • RFQ – Request for Quotation • PMBOK does not distinguish between RFQ and RFP. , PMBOK does recognize that some application areas have a more specific meaning for RFQ • Items are of relatively low dollar value such as supplies and materials • A survey of potential suppliers is completed. • The quotation request informing suppliers of the goods or services needed is sent to a scaled-down number of possible suppliers.

  15. IFB – Invitation for Bid • PMBOK equates this with Request for Proposal and recognizes that it may have a more specific meaning in certain application areas. • Appropriate for high dollar, standard items. • A prerequisite to this process is a clear and accurate description of the supplies, equipment, and services required. • Includes specifications, drawings, industry standards, performance requirements, etc. • Must ensure fair competition among all bidders. • Provisions should be stated in such a manner to avoid misinterpretation. • Formal bids are submitted to the contracting department in sealed envelopes.

  16. All bids are opened at a specific time. • In most cases, the contract award goes to the lowest responsible bidder. If not awarded to the lowest bidder, must document reasons carefully. • Type of contract is open to fraud, collusion, and other dishonest conduct. Hence, PM and contracting personnel must practice defined ethical business procedures.

  17. The Procurement Cycles Requirement Cycle: Defines the boundaries of the project Requisition Cycle Analysis of sources Solicitation Cycle The bidding process Award Cycle Contractor selection and contract award Contract Administration Cycle Managing the contractor until completion of the contract Project Procurement Management

  18. PMBOK Area: Procurement Management Project Procurement Management includes the processes for acquiring or purchasing the materials, products, goods and services which are needed to perform the project work. Project Procurement Management includes the contract management and change control processes required to administer contracts or purchase orders issued by the project team. Processes covered under Project Procurement Management are purchases and acquisitions planning, contract planning, requesting seller responses, seller selection, contract administration, and contract closure.
