or a written authorization to proceed past the hold point without surveillance has been issued.
6. Material Control
All material receiving is performed by the Burns and Roe Construction Management Organization. Material Receiving Reports (MRRs) will be used to document the receiving activities for materials, equipment, and supplies. Upon receipt, items will be immediately inspected for shipping damage prior to unloading. Once unloaded, the items will be placed in a special receiving area for additional inspection, when applicable. While in the receiving area, containers will be opened and items inspected for correct quantity description per the procurement documents. All nonconforming items will remain in a hold area until all discrepancies noted during the receiving inspection are resolved. Once accepted, items will be properly marked, protected, and placed in a designated storage area until released for incorporation into the work. Designated storage areas will normally comprise to the following four areas: Environmentally Controlled Storage Areas Indoor Storage Areas Outdoor Storage Areas Hazardous Materials Storage Areas
Burns and Roe will act to limit the occurrence and magnitude of changes by assuring that subcontractors perform in accordance with and within the limits of the Purchase Order/ Contract. Revised contract requirements may be implemented immediately by using a change order or proposal pricing, and/or schedule impact requested in accordance with the "Changes" clause of the Purchase Order/Contract. Change Order pricing is based on the labor rates, unit prices, and mark up percentages obtained during the competitive or negotiated bid process.

2. Construction Phase During the Construction Phase, the Construction Manager and Site Construction Manager organize the construction team that consists of the Chief Resident Engineer, Construction Supervisors, Finance and Administration Manager, Logistics Manager, Plant Equipment Manager, Start-up and
Commissioning Engineer, Safety Officer, Planning and Cost Control Engineer, and Quality Assurance Engineer. This staff is customized and streamlined to meet the specific needs of the client and the project.
EPCO - DESALINATION
With the pre-construction plan having already been put into action, the construction site management staff, as shown on the Construction Management Organization chart below, performs the following functions: The Site Construction Manager, as the leader of the site construction team, manages and supervises site activities. He coordinates with the client to meet client requirements and undertakes responsiblity for all construction activities and progress reporting. The Chief Resident Engineer reviews the work in
progress to assure conformance with the drawings and design specifications, schedules any necessary technical coordination among related works, and he/she manages the field construction operation and construction engineering for field-erected equipment, as well as the planning and control of construction schedule and cost. The Chief Resident Engineer also prepares detailed schedules to set the baseline for determining progress in the field. Meetings are held throughout the Construction Phase to monitor the actual progress against these schedules. The Planning and Cost Control Engineer implements and uses the Construction Management System (CMS) to monitor and analyze construction progress. The CMS utilizes the WBS as its baseline information source. source. In the WBS, all of the work is broken down into discrete, visible, and measurable elements. The WBS is the fundamental information source upon which all planning/ scheduling and cost control activities are based. Each contract includes a standard commercial section that identifies and describes the method to be used to measure progress and to implement payment control.
EPCO - DESALINATION
Another important feature of the CMS is to track quantities installed in such a manner that schedule problems can be identified promptly. A cost control and project accounting system is established which provides data on original costs for each contract, change orders, anticipated final costs, and a comparison to the original budget. Anticipated cash flow is forecast biweekly. All change order requests are documented and evaluated for validity and pricing. Cost accounting records are maintained in accordance with client requirements. The Quality Assurance Engineer continually performs inspections and surveillance throughout construction with the results and required actions published. All the work that is not in compliance with either the specifications or QA/QC Plan is not accepted and is not included as work of earned value. All nonconforming work is corrected at the earliest appropriate time and reinspected prior to acceptance. The Finance & Administration Manager coordinates all of the finance activities between the head office and the job site. He is also responsible for the job site accounting activities, for maintaining good public and labor relations, and for ensuring an adequate supply of laborers. The Logistics Manager is responsible for all of the plant equipment to be installed and for its storage and material control. He/she is also responsible for the storage, control, expediting, procurement, and delivery of other materials related to the plant equipment and the project construction schedule. The Plant Equipment Manager is responsible for all plant construction equipment, materials, and tools, and for its storage and material control. He/she is also responsible for expediting and delivery, return of equipment, and procurement and/or rental of other equipment and materials related to the plant construction equipment and the project construction schedule.

Prior to the acceptance of the construction of the project as complete, a final inspection of all of the facilities and systems is conducted to assure compliance with the contract requirements. As construction is completed on systems/ segments of the project, start-up services, under the direction of the Start-up & Commissioning Engineer, bring the equipment and systems to an operational level prior to a performance test for a specified period before final acceptance. Review and process all final payments and ensure receipt of all lien release certificates. A summary of project expenditures is compiled and assistance is provided in fulfilling any client-required audits and certifications. All project files, manuals, as-built drawings, permits, warranties, and other documentation required is inventoried and provided to the client.
The Safety Officer is responsible for the safety and health of the construction management staff and all of the construction workers and the protection of all property on or near the construction site. The Start-up & Commissioning Engineer is responsible for developing the start-up and testing of Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs), for the operation criteria of all of the plant equipment and systems and for commissioning of the plant. He/she is also responsible for directing the required testing once the Site Construction Manager determines that the equipment and systems are ready to be tested.

During the start-up test, the hydraulics of the system will be evaluated, including pumps and valves. The sensors and applicable control loops will be evaluated and initial membrane performance (flux rate and product quality) will be measured and documented. Any membrane element defects or installation deficiencies will be replaced and/or corrected before further testing is accomplished. After the RO plant is brought on-line, flushing and cleaning systems will be evaluated. During the checkout testing, the O&M logs will be developed, individual equipment and instruments will be adjusted, and the O&M manuals will be updated.The purpose for Step-2, Pre-Start-up Tests, is to prepare the plant for start-up and operation activities and includes the following: Charging the plant with chemicals, lubricating the equipment, and providing all the other needed operating and process supplies and materials Activating all plant systems, subsystems, and equipment Testing pumps, seal systems, and flushing piping systems Performing field trials and updating of operating procedures
Shutdown is designed to safely deactivate all plant systems, including purging and cleaning where required. Detailed inspections will be performed and the results will be documented, including updating maintenance history cards, as appropriate. Steady state operation can be at full plant output, as well as at alternative production rates that may be required, without any upsets from each system, subsystem, and individual component.
3. Training Activities
The main training program will focus on the operation and maintenance of the plant, including the intake system, pretreatment system, desalination system, plant control system, and plant effluent. Employees will be required to review the relevant administrative as well as technical SOPs so that they understand site protocol in all respects. Additional training responsibilities that should be fulfilled include safety training. Safety will be an integral part of the main training program as well as a special topic covered at initial and scheduled safety lectures. The training program will be divided into three categories: initial training of the start-up crew; on-the-job training of the start-up crew; and training of new hires subsequent to plant start-up. Initial training of the start-up crew includes shift leaders, technicians, and operators.
In Step 3 Start-up and Operating Adjustments, the systems will be brought into operation and the adjustments needed to achieve design performance will be made. The start-up and adjustment period will continue until the systems reach their steady state, which is determined by observing the key process variables for a period of time. The baseline establishment test run will be made using a fixed set of conditions. These fixed conditions will be used in subsequent tests for comparison and evaluation of performance.
