1.0       PURPOSE

The purpose of this specification is to:
                     Set out the principles and requirements of progress measurement to be complied with by Contractor involved in the ADGF Development Project
                     Ensure a standardized approach to progress measurement, reporting, and related activities by Contractor involved in the ADGF Development Project.

2.0       SCOPE

2.1       This specification applies to all progress measurement, reporting, and related activities by Contractor and its Subcontractors, involved in the ADGF Development Project.

3.0       RESPONSIBILITY

3.1       Each project Contractor shall comply with this specification, and its Project Manager is responsible for ensuring such compliance. Contractor shall ensure that its own project-specific procedures incorporate all relevant aspects of, and are fully consistent with, this specification.

4.0       DEFINITIONS

4.1       PMT – Conoco Indonesia Inc. Ltd. (Company’s) Project Management Team
4.2       WBS ‑ Work Breakdown Structure:A hierachical code structure used to identify all elements of work performed under each contract. This structure will allow for identification of work elements at the lowest level (individual tasks or deliverables) and provide a means for roll-up to all higher levels of progress.
4.3       Progress Plans: Plans developed and used by each Contractor to forecast incremental and cumulative progress for its portion of the project. These plans are derived from each Contractor’s resource loaded detailed schedules.
4.4       Actual Progress: A term used to describe the proportion of the contract scope that has been completed, and has been assessed in a logical, consistent and objective manner. The actual progress is presented in terms of a percentage of total scope for the entire contract, subcontract (or major work portion), phase, discipline and work product.
4.5          Progress System: A term used to describe the system used by each Contractor to develop the total scope progress measurement baseline of each contract, subcontract, phase, discipline and work product, and calculate actual progress earned as a percentage of the total scope baseline of each contract, subcontract, phase, discipline and work product.


4.6       All progress calculations shall be performed from a single primary application database. The system description also refers to the supporting tools used to develop and maintain the primary system (e.g., spreadsheets, Subcontractor reports, etc.)
4.7       Earned: A term used to describe work accomplished. The total work is denominated in terms of uniform work content units (generally manhours). There shall be consistent logic between the various activities (i.e., a manhour should be a consistent and uniform quantity). For progress purposes, earned progress equals the value assigned in the Contractor’s accepted baseline detailed estimate. Examples:
                     The estimate contains ten (10) manhours to fabricate a spool: when this spool is 100% fabricated the earned hours are equal to ten (10).
                     The estimate contains twenty (20) hours for a design drawing: when the drawing has been completed it has earned twenty (20) manhours.
4.8       Equivalant Manpower: When planning manpower required for the project, the scheduling software supplies man hours to be used during each specified period (day, week or month). To define the number of people required to accomplish the work, the planned manhours for the particular period is divided by the planned work schedule hours, per person, for the same period (e.g., 40 hours or 50 hours to be worked per week). The result of this calculation is called “equivalent manpower”. Earned  and actual equivalent manpower is calculated by dividing the amount of hours earned, or expended (relatively) by the planned work hours, per person for the same period. Therefore there will always be a direct relationship between planned effort and expended effort.
4.9       Labor Productivity:A term used to describe how the comparison between the number of actual expended direct hours it takes to perform work, or portions of work, as compared to what the estimate had allocated for the same work, or portions of work. The formula used for the project is actual expended hours divided by earned hours (i.e., a good productivity is below one (1) and the higher the factor, the worse the productivity). This productivity rating is a major contributor to determining real manpower requirements for schedule trending and forecasting. The worse the productivity factor is proving to be, directly relates to more manpower required than planned (as compared to the original estimate) to maintain schedule. 
4.10     Progress Credit Chain Milestones: A integral part of the progress system that assigns progress weightings to key stages or steps to each and every deliverable (e.g., drawing, purchase order, spool, etc.).  The progress percentage allocated to a particular stage or step is only earned when that stage/step is fully complete. Partial percentage claim for an individual stage or step is not allowed. See Attachment 1 for format examples.
4.11     Weighting: A term used to describe the overall contract progress value of separate deliverables or elements of the scope and each stage of the deliverable or element as in relation to the total contract. The primary method of weighting for the contract will be by estimated man hours per deliverable, per discipline, and per subcontract. The weightings for the major phases of the contract (e.g., engineering, procurement and construction/installation) will be dictated by each contract’s particular circumstances.

4.12     Work Products: A term used to describe physical quantities of work planned and accomplished by discipline. These include drawings, equipment pieces, tons of steel, linear meters of pipe, number of pipe spools, linear meters of conduit, square meters of paint, linear meters of insulation, etc. These work products are tracked on an ongoing basis as actual installed or completed as compared to total required per the approved baseline and forecasted plans.
4.13     Phase: A term used to refer to each of the major stages of the contract. These phases include Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication, Installation, Commissioning and Start-up. Pre-commissioning is to be included with the Installation phase.
4.14     Discipline: A term used to identify the dedicated work groups within each phase. Examples of this are: Engineering (export pipeline, infield pipeline, etc.) – Installation (export pipeline, infield pipeline etc.).

6.0       GENERAL

The progress system used shall provide detail to the progress credit chain milestone level of each and every work element. In addition the progress system shall contain the appropriate WBS code related to each progress chain milestone level to allow for roll-up progess summarization at all WBS and schedule levels.
All progress print outs and electronic files that are part of, or support, the Contractor’s monthly reports shall be supplied to the ADGF Project Manager  on a monthly basis. In addition, if requested by Company, the Contractor shall supply the same information on a weekly basis as progress is updated.
All progress systems must be reviewed and accepted by the ADGF Project Scheduler before their use is allowed for the ADGF Development Project. In addition all progress plans and updates must be agreed to and accepted by the ADGF Project Manager.
If the ADGF Project Scheduler and/or Project Manager have concerns that, in their opinion, render the progress plans or updates inaccurate or incorrect, a detailed communication of the reasons for the beliefs will take place between the ADGF Project Scheduler and the Contractor Scheduler. The Contractor shall perform the necessary corrections to the satisfaction of the ADGF Project Scheduler and/or Project Manager.

7.0       PROCEDURES

7.1       Primary Principles

Progress is measured against deliverable elements derived from the Contractor's scope of work. All items to be included in the progress assessment will be assigned a WBS code that will allow for roll up to each and every WBS and schedule level. The Work Breakdown Structure used by the Contractor shall follow the ADGF WBS and schedule coding requirements contained in the references in specification Contractor Planning and Scheduling Requirements.
Indirect tasks such as management, indirect manhours, and general support disciplines are excluded for the purposes of calculating physical planned and actual progress. However, these disciplines may provide a component for calculating earned compensation. In addition, “estimated sum items” shall have specific progress determination and compensation principles. Each contract shall have compensation principles as specifically described in the applicable contract.
The progress system shall be developed in such a way as that it is easily and accurately transferred to all levels of the Contractor-developed and-issued contract schedules. Both the progress system and the schedules will use the ADGF Project Work Breakdown Structure. See Specification of Contractor Planning and Scheduling Requirements for required schedule codes and breakdowns.
Actual progress shall always be based on physical work completed measured against the current approved scope of work and shall never exceed 100%. Approved Change Order Authorizations and/or quantity growth (according to the terms and conditions of the respective contracts) of the contract scope shall be added into the progress calculations and the current schedule at each month end. Unapproved or disputed changes shall be excluded from progress calculations. However, a flash trend will be issued each month that incorporates all disputed changes. This flash trend will be prepared by the Contractor planner/scheduler, and approximate the schedule and progress impact of the disputed changes. If the unapproved change is deemed to have an immediate negative impact on progress, notice shall be given to the ADGF Project Manager at the time of negative impact discovery.

7.2       Level of Progress Data

The progress measurement system is intended to collect progress data at a very detailed level. This objective is achieved by breaking the total work down into small and physically identifiable work elements (engineering drawing, spool piece, piece mark plate, instrument support, etc.).  Each deliverable/milestone is then broken down and weighted by each step, or stage, so that the sum of all of the steps, or stages becomes a complete and clearly identifiable work product. These progress chain milestones shall be used to assure accurate reporting. Attachment 1 provides examples of the requirements for progress chain milestones.
Partial claims against an individual milestone credit (e.g., step 1 is 40% complete) are not allowed. Progress credit shall not be claimed for anything less than 100% of any progress chain milestone.
As previously stated, the progressing system will allow for progress roll up to all WBS and schedule levels, from the partial credit milestone level up to the contract level, including the interim levels described in the WBS and scheduling specifications.
Attachment 1 contains examples of the progress chain assignment structure that would be             considered for the ADGF Development Project.  The milestone breakdown and the individual credit assignment for each represented milestone is for example only and will be adjusted to suit the particular need of the individual contract. In any case, the final assignments used to assess, track and report progress must be accepted and approved by the ADGF Project Manager.    

7.3       Weighting

While the physical progress on each individual work task/operation is determined by a quantitative assessment in terms of number of drawings at a certain stage, tons of steel cut, meters of cable pulled etc. In order to summarize progress against all these disparate work tasks/operations there must be a method of weighting them proportionally, one to another.
In the case of engineering, fabrication, installation, pre-commissioning and commissioning the weighting factor will be estimated manhours within each phase and discipline. Procurement will be assigned percentages for request for quote, purchase order issue, vendor drawings received, material/equipment shipped/received, etc.
If a subcontract is issued for a piece of work (such as PLEM or Manifold fabrication) that requires a significant amount of engineering and/or fabrication/installation effort, it will be included in the appropriate phase (engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, etc.) progress system.
In most cases work done outside the main contract execution site(s) that is being worked under a purchase order will be included in the procurement status progress as a standard purchase order.
Weighting Requirements for Non-Manhour Resource-Driven Portions of Work
1.         In most cases, estimated manhours will be used to weight portions of the contract that are driven by manhour resource effort.  In certain cases, manhour weighting will not be indicative of the value of the parts of work. Some examples of non-manhour resource driven tasks are: procurement, pipeline installation from a lay barge, surveying, etc.
2.         If a Contractor determines that a portion of its work is not driven by manhour resource effort, this portion of work must have a different method to measure progress.
3.         The ADGF Development method for establishing and updating the procurement progress is that each purchase order be weighted by the individual purchase order cost as a percentage of the total purchasing cost value. See Example A (below) for clarification:
Example A:
To establish the progress plan: Each step of each purchase order must be identified in the schedule. The schedule is loaded with the appropriate cost percent of the purchase order (per the progress credit chain guidelines) for each step of each purchase order. When this progress curve is run from Primavera, it will dictate the value percent planned for each period of the work portion. This percent per period plan will be based on the total value of the procurement effort (all planned and actual orders).
To update the progress: Each step of each purchase order that has been completed is claimed as complete. This results in a percent of total value earned relevant to the total value of the procurement phase.
Combining Portions of Work for Overall Progress
Once all portions of the contract have plans established by the manhour weighting or another accepted method and the appropriate weight factors contained in the schedule, it will be necessary to start combining the individual portions of the work into progress plans for each discipline, each phase, each subcontract (or major work portion) and the total contract.
In cases where all portions of the whole are weighted by manhours (i.e., engineering, installation and commissioning phases, and each discipline contained within these phases), the progress plans can be directly derived from the Primavera schedule. In cases where one of the portions of work is not weighted by manhours (e.g., procurement) the appropriate relationship between the separate work portion weightings must be established. The predominant method for correlating the separate phases, whether it be by subcontract (or major work portion), or total contract, is to weight each phase by the proportionate cost percentage. For example:
Phase
Est. Cost
Weight
Engineering
$10MM
8.7%
Procurement
$30MM
26.1%
Fabrication
$10MM
8.7%
Installation
$50MM
43.5%
Commissioning
$10MM
8.7%
Start-up
$5MM
4.3%

Total
$115MM
100%

At times, depending on the nature of the individual subcontract or contract, the cost weighting method does not present a true relationship between the effort required for each phase. The procurement phase of the project can distort the proper weightings if the contract has a very high or very low cost value. Each Contractor is to examine its method of inter-phase weighting and assure that the weights of each phase are reasonable and properly represent the work content and value expenditure timing of the particular contract.
As with the assignment of weights to portions of work, both the method and the structure of the method used by the Contractor for assessing progress of individual subcontracts, similar major portions of the work, and total contract require acceptance by the ADGF Project Manager.
If any method other than real estimated manhours is used to weight the progress, it must be remembered that accurate manpower requirements can not be derived from Primavera using these weightings. In these cases, a separate resource identifier will be used to assign the real estimated manhours by discipline, phase, subcontract (or major work portion) and total contract.
All manhour-driven progress plans shall be directly derived from the Contractor’s resource loaded schedules. For requirements on development and use of the schedule driven progress plans (all engineering, fabrication, installation, pre-commissioning and commissioning) see Specification  of Contractor Planning and Scheduling Requirements.
The above requirements will allow for progress reporting by all of the  WBS levels and all schedule levels.

7.4       Summation of Progress

For the purposes of reporting progress the Contractor shall summarize the detail progress calculations by total contract, by subcontract (or major work portion), by phase, and by discipline within each phase.
The detail progress sheets and calculations that support these summaries shall not be included in the weekly and monthly reports submitted by the  detailed progress system, and progress system support files will be issued electronically on a monthly basis to the ADGF Project Scheduler. The electronic files for the weekly updates shall be supplied when requested by the ADGF Project Scheduler and/or the ADGF Project Manager.

7.5       Verification of Progress

The Contractor’s Project Manager is responsible for verification that the progress claimed on the progress reports issued by the Contractor is accurate. The ADGF Planner/Scheduler will perform periodic audits of claimed progress. These audits will range from spot checks on individual activities to complete subcontract and contract audits. Significant disparity between the reports and actual progress audited will be grounds for adjustments to progress achieved and the value of work done, and possibly therefore to the compensation earned by the Contractor.

8.0       Report Content and Timing

Engineering, procurement,fabrication, installatian and commissioning progress will be statused and issued every week. The cut off will be per the Project Calendar, but in general it will be on last Friday of each week. The report issue is due the following Monday. The first report will be issued to the ADGF Project Manager no later than one month after contract award.
The 25th of the month is the cut off for the monthly report information. The full monthly progress report is due at the 1st of the following month, but the progress assessment is due 3 (three) working days after the monthly cut off date (See Planning and Scheduling Specification)
The weekly reporting requirements are in addition to the monthly report. Weekly reports must be issued every week.
Timely  and accurate reporting by CONTRACTOR is considered a requirement and this is reflected in the compensation format.
The following information will be supplied with the weekly and/or monthly progress reports:

8.1       Monthly Status Reporting

                     Contractors will be required to submit a monthly progress report within at 1st of each month. The actual calendar dates will be per the Project Calendar, but in general the cut off day is 25th of  each month. The format and structure of the reports will be the responsibility of each Contractor,  subject to approval by the ADGF Project Manager.  The following are offered as minimum requirements  as follows:
(1)        Executive Summary 
(2)        Progress Curves and Histograms by period and cumulative
-           Overall Contract
-           By Phase     (E, P& C/I, C)
-           Major subcontract or activity (PLEM, Manifold, Etc.)
*           Required work product curves with planned versus actual displayed
*           Denotes that all weekly required work product curves are required on a monthly period basis (i.e., the period reported is by month instead of by week).
(3)        Detail Reports and Progress/Concern Narrative by Major Activity including:
-           Engineering
-           Procurement
-           Fabrication
-           Installation
-           Commissioning
-           Major Subcontract or Activity
-           Agreed Change Order Request impact trends
                     Detail reports should summarize accomplishment during reporting period, work plans for subsequent period, significant issues and specific actions to resolve the issues identified.
                     Progress should be illustrated in the form of percentage "S" curves depicting earned progress to date, as compared to planned progress required by initial plans and subsequently approved baselines. “Equivalent person” histograms by discipline will be required as supporting documentation to these curves and will illustrate the approved equivalent planned manpower plan in relation to the actual and earned manpower equivalent. The progress presented on the front lined schedule, that is required monthly, shall be based on these progress points.
                     In addition to the baseline plan for progress, the Contractor shall include a monthly forecast per the current schedule calculations on every required progress plan. This forecast line will start at the progress earned to date and illustrate the forecasted path to completion of the concerned contract, phase, subcontract (or major work portion), discipline and etc.
                     If it is determined by the ADGF Project Manager that Contractor will not accomplish a Contract Schedule Milestone, Contractor is required to produce a Schedule Recovery Plan within seven (7) days of the ADGF Project Manager’s notice of schedule delay.
                     Contractor will be required to include in the monthly report a written explanation for significant negative schedule variances relative to the baseline plan, with recommendation for recovery. Significant is defined as overall progress being more than 3 percentage points behind the accepted plan ( planned 50% - Actual 47%), or schedule activity paths with less than “0” total float. Schedule slippages will be identified weekly by the individual work portions schedule updates, with the same requirements for recovery planning and implementation. Recovery Plan actions shall be immediately implemented.
                     The baseline planned progress curves must be accepted by the ADGF Project Manager. It shall not be necessary for ADGF PMT approval of the monthly forecast presented by each Contractor, every month. However, forecast integrity is of great importance to proper management of the contract. Therefore the Contractor shall present a detailed overview of the reforecasting process once every third monthly update. The ADGF Project Scheduler shall issue the meeting schedule and instructions to each contractor after contract award. All forecasting is solely used for managing the work as the current situations change throughout the contract. The contract milestones will be in effect for the entire contract duration and shall not be extended without a Change Order Authorization. See the above bullet for actions required if progress lags behind the “baseline plan”.
                     It is the PMT intent that a reforecast and the baseline schedule will seldom, if ever, be authorized. CONTRACTOR and ADGF Project Manager should approve this exercise prior to initiating such work.

8.2       Weekly Reporting (In Addition to Monthly Requirements)

                     Contractors will be required to submit a weekly progress report on Monday every week. The actual calendar dates will be set up and approved upon contract award, but in general the cut off day is the last Friday of each week. The engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, commissioning and start-up phases are to be cut-off and reported weekly. The format and structure of the reports will be the responsibility of each contractor, subject to approval by the ADGF Project Manager.  The minimum requirements are described in this section:
                     All progress Summary, S-curves, and manpower histograms will reflect the currently approved baseline progress plan.


¨  The following charts are required on the weekly dates:
         Progress summary and ‘S’ curves, Planned vs. Actual  by contract, phase, discipline and subcontract (or major work portion)-for period and cumulative
         Manpower and Manhours Histograms, Planned vs. Actual and Earned by contract, phase, discipline and subcontract (or major work portion)– for period and cumulative
         Narrative of schedule accomplishments and concerns, with plans for correcting the concerns.
         Required work product curves with planned versus actual displayed.
         Front Lined, progress based schedule.
         CONTRACTOR shall list all achievements
         CONTRACTOR shall list all underachievements.

Description of Required Work Product Curves
                     Work Product reports and curves - Once established at the engineering and fabrication and/or installation site the Contractor will be required to routinely status and report the quantities listed below on a weekly basis.
                     Work Product Baseline – All plans for work product installation must be derived from the currently approved baseline schedule. This requirement will require the loading and maintaining of work product quantities into the resource field of the scheduling software.
                     In addition to the baseline plan for work product installation, the Contractor shall include a monthly forecast per the current schedule calculations. This forecast line will start at the actual quantity installed to date and illustrate the forcasted path to work product completion.
                     The baseline planned installation curves must be approved by the ADGF Project Manager, but the monthly forecast is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
                     Contractor will be required to provide installation curves for the quantities listed below. Actual installed work products will not be an overall earned percent converted to each unit, but will be the physical amount of the commodity installed. An example would be pipe footage: the actual would not be the equivalent footage earned from the total of the partial credit guide lines, it would be just the total footage that has been fully welded out.

These reports are to be provided on an “as requested” basis.
                     All primary and supporting documents used by the Contractor for development and issuance of the reports shall also be forwarded to the ADGF Project Scheduler in electronic file format.

 

9.0       Alterations

Alterations to this specification, or the intent of this specification, will not be allowed without the approval of the ADGF Project Manager.


ATTACHMENT 1 - PROGRESS CHAIN PRINCIPLES
All progress credit chain milestones shall be clearly identifiable with the approved compensation procedure and be a specific achievement. No partial claims of individual milestones shall be made. Each milestone must be 100% complete before any credit may be applied.
In general, if it is found that a milestone has been claimed but for some reason (i.e., x-ray failure, rework, additional scope, etc.) the work, or a portion of the work, has to be executed a second time, the previously claimed completion milestone will be changed to 0%.
Engineering drawings and documents, and therefore the total engineering effort will not reach 100% until all as-built drawings and the final documentation is turned over to the ADGF Project Manager.
