IEM Shout Out – Talk on Risk Sharing Contracts


This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be  hosting a seminar on the 11th November, 2011. It’ll start at 12:00pm and is worth 2 CPD hours. You still gotta climb those steps at Wisma IEM.

This is held in conjunction with our AGM. Please turn up for that as well.

In a typical Risk-Sharing Contract (RSC), the responsibilities, roles and risks are allocated therein to the various parties and agent. RSCs maybe fashioned for projects that may be turnkey or Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) in nature up to that of Project Delivery Partner (PDP).

That PDP typically endeavors to spell out i) Project Management Role ii) EPC Role; iii) Parties Risks and Rewards (with the proportionate Increase); and cover the following critical project parameters i) Development ii) Construction iii) Completion iv) Delivery v) Targets vi) Rewards; and vii) Losses. Other aspects typically treated under PDP i)Project Viability – “Strike Rate” ii)Site Possession iii) Ground Conditions – Employer/Contractor iv) Completion v) Delays vi)Performance Guarantees; and vii)Financing – Developer/Sponsor.
