FIGURE 6-1 - PCWorks INFORMATION EXCHANGE DIAGRAM

Automation

PCWorks is the primary automation tool used for cost control at the construction site. Figure 6-1
provides a diagram mapping the levels of information exchange between PCWorks and other standard
automation tools. Accounting, through its various automated programs, provides cost and jobhour data
for nonmanual labor, materials and subcontracts, and manual labor under direct hire situations.

Section 6 Working Level Cost Control

Nonmanual jobhours for many years have been captured exclusively through manual input to
handwritten time-sheets. In the last few years, an electronic system has been established. The goal is
to implement electronic nonmanual timekeeping throughout Bechtel over time.

The Bechtel Electronic Time Record (BETR) is standard electronic timekeeping system for all
nonmanual employees. For projects that do not have adequate communication abilities or other
circumstances prohibit the use of BETR, manual time records should be gathered by a project
administrator with access to BETR, entered by the administrator as proxy. Nonmanual payroll may
then be processed out of central location. This time-related information from BETR is electronically
transferred to CFIS Payroll and passed on to the CFIS Labor System from which it is then made
available to project controls. Currently, this information is available in the Controller Reporting System
(CRS) but in the future will be available directly via the Information Exchange Layer(IEL).

For materials and subcontract, the standard program to be used in the future for this purpose is
Oracle-based although a number of other applications are currently being used. Other accounts
payable systems in use include Timberline, Clipper, and various DBase and Access applications.
Work is ongoing to enhance Oracle Accounts Payable. Maximizing its use will greatly enhance the
efficiencies of the electronic imaging. It is the intent to have procurement electronically feed purchase
orders and receiving reports from the Bechtel Procurement System (BPS) into the Oracle Accounts
Payable system as well as have vendors bill us electronically. Automatic electronic exchanges of
information between the commercial system and PCWorks through a Project Accounting Sub-ledger
(Information Exchange Layer) are also planned. .
Gateworks and Foretime are automated programs used to monitor craft attendance and accrue craft
hours by cost code. Foretime is the preferred and most cost effective application for craft timesheets.
The information from Foretime is electronically passed to the manual labor payroll program. The option
is the manual, hard copy system in use for many years and currently still being used particularly in the
international arena.
Timberline is a commonly used manual labor payroll application. Where there are complexities of
foreign currency exchange rates, Micro Payroll is used. Other applications such as Concord have also
been used for manual labor payroll.
Some of the financial applications noted here will be referred to in other sections of these Principles.
Again, it is noted that Oracle Financials will be used globally. Each region will have its own setup, but it
is anticipated that they will be somewhat similar to the one presented here.
Use of Centralized Accounting Function Approaches
As the accounting process becomes more automated with electronic information exchange interfaces,
the use of centralized processing center concept will have advantages since there will be
instantaneous access by users. The centralization of accounts payable and manual labor payroll would
eliminate the need for field operating bank accounts.
Figure 6-2 highlights the near term system employed to maximize automation and provides definition
of the data flow. The manual payroll system depicted happens to be Timberline but as noted others
may be used.

Labor Distribution Reporting
The Jobsite Interface Chart shown in Figure 6-3 depicts the currently available automation programs
for direct hire projects. As noted, certain projects use Micro Payroll for payroll instead of Timberline
and electronic interface with Foretime is very achievable. Since the use of electronic systems have
advantages and are the future, they are emphasized in this handbook over the manual approach.
The information flow, depicted in the Field Manual Labor Jobhour/Cost Control Information Flow Chart
shown in Figure 6-4, is a suggested procedure for the accumulation of field manual labor jobhour/cost
control information. The suggested procedure was taken from one representing hard copy time
sheets. Minor adjustments were made to the descriptions to reflect a computerized system. Much
remains the same except that inputs, reviews, and cross-checks are done via electronic means instead
of through routing of paper documents. All responsibilities remain the same as well. In fact the current
version of PCDP 4.06 retains the description of the system as one with manual, hard copy input and
may be used for reference. In either case(electronic or hard copy timesheets), it may be necessary to
add, modify, or delete steps to conform to project specific needs.

Time Sheet Entries/Reviews


Time sheet data entries into the electronic file are used to collect labor cost information for both the
Field Cost Engineer and field cost payroll department. The proper description of work activities and
cost coding are loaded from PCWorks into Foretime ensuring agreement (under the hard copy option
the Cost Engineer must check the sheets one by one). The Field Cost Engineer instructs the
timekeepers, Superintendents, and engineers in the proper usage of the Project Code of Accounts.
The Project Code of Accounts should be periodically reviewed in the weekly cost meeting, especially
for new codes or during new phases of construction activity. Any new cost code must be consistent
with application of the Standard Code of Accounts. This will reduce errors in quantity and jobhours
reporting.
The craft foreman is responsible to check to see that the cost codes are correctly assigned for
expended straight time, overtime hours, and double time by each crew member. The foreman signs-
off on the time sheets prior to the superintendent’s review. The foreman questions the Cost Engineer
when the work varies from the Project Code of Accounts. The Cost Engineer has the responsibility to
review and authorize new scope change or backcharge numbers, if required.

The Superintendent is responsible for checking the timesheet entries for assigned craft and verifying
the work descriptions and allocation of total jobhours. The superintendent signs-off the timesheets
prior to release to the Cost Engineer. The Field Cost Engineer reviews the completed time sheet
entries to verify proper coding to the Project Code of Accounts.

FIGURE 6-4 - FIELD MANUAL LABOR JOBHOUR/COST CONTROL INFORMATION FLOW CHART

In general, the following time sequence is typical for checking the time sheet entries:

• The time sheet entries will be coded and be available for the field superintendent and/or field
engineer to review no later than quitting time on the day worked.

• All checks of the entries should be complete so that the information is available for use by
Accounting, no later than 1:00 p.m. of the next day. This may not be required daily, although it

1997 Edition Principles of Construction Controls 6-5


Section 6 Working Level Cost Control

is good practice, as hours are automatically posted each day. This may only be required on
the day payroll is done.

Labor Tracking Responsibility

Appendices D and E include the following typical reports:


• GateWorks reports including Force Reports, Absentee Reports and Daily Time reports.
• Foretime reports providing hours by cost code
• PCWorks Manual Labor Cost Reports

The Foretime database is used to update the Timberline files electronically on a weekly basis(in the
hard copy option, the data has to be keyed directly into the payroll system). This allows payrolls to be
prepared, as well as, provides an electronic download from the payroll system to PCWorks on a timely
basis.

PCWorks may then be used to generate the Labor Distribution Ledger (LDL). Refer to Appendix D for
an example Labor Distribution Ledger report. This ledger is balanced weekly against the daily time
sheets and the payroll system. The LDL is a source document to provide project status of labor
jobhours and dollars by cost code and craft for use in forecasting, cash flow, labor performance
monitoring, and other cost/schedule programs.
The Office Manager/Field F&A Supervisor is responsible for maintaining the GateWorks/Foretime
system and ensuring the necessary updates of Timberline and the subsequent electronic download to
PCWorks are available on a timely basis. Also, this person is responsible for timely preparation at the
forecast cutoff date or other intervals, as required by the Field Cost Engineer, for summarizing each
account to the ledger and posting the same to the forecast worksheets.
Format
The Field Cost Engineer should coordinate with the Office Manager prior to the first download file feed
to verify that the purposed file feed is capable of producing the following information by craft within the
account:
1. Straight time hours worked
2. To-date & distribution of jobhours by cost code, by craft.
3. Overtime and double time hours worked
4. Regular Earnings at Straight Time
5. Overtime & Double Time Earnings - Premium Portion of Overtime (PTOT) bare wages.
6. Bare wages, fringe benefits, and statutory payroll additives including earnings subject to:
• Federal Unemployment Insurance (FUI)
• State Unemployment Insurance (SUI)
• Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA)
• Workers Compensation

The information above should be by cost code by craft and should subtotal by Category, Unit/Area,
and Total Project.

6-6 Pinciples of Construction Controls 1997 Edition


Working Level Cost Control Section 6

Ledger Output Reviews

The Field Cost Engineer reviews the LDL information and posts the labor weekly hours to the weekly
Labor Craft Performance Report covered later in this manual. Earnings will be summarized by craft
and cost code on a monthly basis. The summarization allows for the calculation of average hourly
rates by craft or by cost code which will be used in forecasting, cash flow, and other control programs.

In addition to normal weekly checks, the Field Cost Engineer cross-checks the to-date information, with
the field accounting payroll summary, to identify any adjustments.

The typical time period for the Cost Engineer to review the information is one to two days after the
close of the weekly payroll.

QUANTITY AND UNIT RATE REPORT (QURR) LABOR PERFORMANCE/COST ANALYSIS

Craft Performance Automation


The Quantity and Unit Rate Report (QURR) (refer to Appendix E) is produced by the PCWorks craft
performance module. The contained labor budget is established by Project Controls with input and
review by the project team. The site manager reviews the budget and unit rates to verify that, based
on existing conditions, they are reasonable and obtainable. The performance and progress curves
should also be reviewed for reasonableness and to determine that historical patterns are applicable
and that use of the curves will not result in misleading trend forecasts. The project manager is
responsible for reviewing and approving the budgets, and on reimbursable projects for providing the
client with reports, as required. The site manager is responsible for weekly monitoring of labor
performance and installation progress; he also directs corrective action. Automatic electronic
exchanges of information between the commercial system and PCWorks through a Project Accounting
Sub-ledger (Information Exchange Layer) are planned.
It is noted that some projects establish target labor budget lower than the project budget to establish a
stretch goal for the project team. This must be considered in the setup of the project PCWorks
program to work properly.
The QURR Report
The QURR report represents the standard detail format for manual labor performance reporting. It
brings together information from the payroll database file (e.g. Timberline) and the Quantity Reporting
System and it is the main report for tracking craft performance.
This report shows quantities, jobhours (earned and spent), jobhour unit rates, performance factors,
and percent complete for each cost code. This report will group similar detail accounts from different
areas together so they may be compared and the quantities can be totaled. The Field Labor Summary
Report (refer to Section 3, Project Summary Reports) is the summary report by category for this data.

Labor Cost Analysis


The PCWorks craft performance sub module produces reports that allows for evaluation of manual
labor cost impacts to project cost. It does the extensions to trend the labor cost impacts due to
variations in quantity and labor manual performance in the QURR. It also allows for evaluation through
comparison of budgeted/forecasted manual wage rates to actuals being incurred. An example of this
analysis is shown in Figure 6-5. It is noted that wage rate data is also provided in the Labor Analysis
Report (LAR) which is covered next.

UNIT RATE CALCULATION


321 jobhours expended
EXAMPLE: = Unit Rate of 0.37 jhr/sq. ft
870 sq. ft of forms erected
640 jobhours expended
= Unit Rate of 3.37 jhr/lf
190 linear feet of pipe erected

PERFORMANCE FACTOR CALCULATIONS (FOR ONE ACCOUNT)


This Period Performance
This week unit rate 3.4 jhr/sq. ft
EXAMPLE: Budget unit rate = 2.7 jhr/sq. ft = 1.26 Performance

To Date Performance
To-date unit rate 3.1 jhr/sq. ft
EXAMPLE: Budget unit rate = 2.7 jhr/sq. ft = 1.15 Performance

Target or Forecast Performance


Forecast unit rate 2.9 jhr/sq. ft
EXAMPLE: Budget unit rate = 2.7 jhr/sq. ft = 1.07 Performance

Forecast Final Performance Projection


EXAMPLE:
Current Performance at 90% 0.96 jhr/sq. ft
Expected Performance from curve = 1.00 jhr/sq. ft = 0.96 Performance factor relative to
@ 90% complete reference curve

= 1.00 - 0.96 = 0.04 = 4 percent better than expected at 90% complete


Therefore at 100% if the expected planned unit rate is 1.10 jhr/sq. ft the Forecast Final
Performance at 100% will be 1.06.
CRAFT MIX
Hours charged against account for any given period.
Calculated Craft Mix
EXAMPLE: 20 hours Carpenters = 10% Carpenters
100 hours Pipefitters = 50% Pipefitters
80 hours Laborers = 40% Laborers
200 hours = 100%
WAGE RATE - BASIC CALCULATION
LABOR COST EXPENDED
LABOR HOURS EXPENDED = AVERAGE WAGE RATE PER HOUR WORKED
$1000
EXAMPLE: 50 JOBHOURS = $20.00/JOBHOUR

OVERTIME PERCENT
% Overtime versus straight time charged to an account:
10 hours worked overtime
100 hours total worked = 10% overtime

FIGURE 6-7 - COST AND COMMITMENT (CO/CO) FLOW DIAGRAM

Overall (Sub)Contract and Materials Cost Control


Subcontracts and material purchase orders(PO’s) are issued from the home office or the field as
indicated on the Material Assignment Schedule (MAS) developed by procurement. An example MAS
is shown in Attachment 6-3. Both PO’s and subcontracts are tracked over the life of the project
through the Cost and Commitment program by project controls. The Cost and Commitment (CO/CO)
Flow Diagram, shown in Figure 6-7, summarizes the sequence of events that occur during the cost
and commitment reporting cycle. An example Commitment Authorization is shown in Figure 6-8. It is
noted that, as the project moves into the main construction phase, the CO/CO report may be
transferred to the field.

The procurement department is responsible for all purchasing, expediting, and inspection functions in
the home office, field, and in vendor’s shops. Engineering issues the specification/material requisitions

Procurement and construction share the responsibility of close out of purchase orders and
subcontracts.
Finance and Accounting produces the Accounts Payable General Ledger on a monthly basis providing
cost-to-date information for materials and subcontracts. Much of this system was covered earlier in this
section.

6-12 Pinciples of Construction Controls 1997 Edition


Working Level Cost Control Section 6

Project controls is responsible for establishing the budgets for all goods and services to be purchased.
Project controls also reviews procurement documents to ensure conformity with the project budget
requirements. Project controls is responsible for coordination with engineering, procurement, and
construction to establish and monitor budgets. Significant deviations from the budget are reported
through the Trend Program to facilitate any necessary corrective action.

Detailed Control of (Sub)Contracts

Overall responsibilities for subcontractor interfaces for the Bechtel personnel are shown in Figure 6-9.
A narrative of the process used in control of subcontracts is given below.

For subcontracts bid out of the home office, the (on-)Project Controls Manager reviews and comments
on the bid packages emphasizing those areas that have cost impact on the entire project. This review
is completed before the package is issued for the client review and/or bid. Specifically, the (on-)Project
Controls Manager reviews scope definition, general conditions, special conditions, bid pay items,
payment terms and schedules, the technical specification, and the drawing index. Deviations from
budget/forecast scope and technical specifications as well as planned scheduled dates shall be noted
and, if appropriate, trended.
Additionally, the field project controls manager provides a budget breakdown by bid item based on
quantities supplied by the engineering or information available from the latest estimate. The bid
package must define the method of measurement and allocation of quantities to the different bid
items. Attention must also be given to methods of price adjustments which may be necessary over the
life of the contract.
The (on-)Project Controls Manager should participate in the reviews of the bid item breakdown to
ensure that it provides satisfactory detail for controlling and forecasting as well as tying into the
schedule. The bid item breakdown must be logical, easily administered, and support scheduling and
historical reporting requirements. Specifically, during the review by project controls, attention should
be given to the specific pay items which may be one, or a combination of payment types. This may
include fixed priced items, unit price items and/or time and materials items. A reasonable
understanding of the ability of a potential contractor to provide a realistic bid for each type of pay item
must be considered when requesting bids. Subcontractor monitoring may depend heavily on
information supplied through billings by pay item.
The typical support provided by project controls in the evaluation of a subcontract consist of analyzing
submitted data for the reasonableness with regard to execution. This includes, but is not limited to,
review and analysis of contractor/subcontractor staffing levels over time for manual and nonmanual
personnel, construction equipment scheduling, schedule durations for executing specific activities
versus estimated quantities, etc. Other analyses should include, but not be limited to, extensions of
unit rates, total potential cost exposure due to changes, understanding and inclusion of interfaces
where appropriate, etc.

The (on-)Project Controls Manager should also participate in the pre-bid and pre-award meetings to
discuss the particular commercial issues. It is noted that if the subcontract is bid out of the field, the
Field Controls Manager would attend these meetings and take on the lead responsibility noted above
for the (on-) projects controls manager.

FIGURE 6-10 - CONTRACT FORECAST WORKSHEET

While the subcontract bid evaluation and award may take place either in the home office or the field,
execution will always be under the field’s purview.
In the field, the Cost Engineer should review the scope of pay items and cost code them to applicable
accounts. It may be necessary to temporarily cost code into suspense accounts until the detailed
breakdown, as outlined in the contract and/or required by the Project Code of Accounts, is obtained.

In the event the awarded subcontract price is different from that originally budgeted or previously
forecasted, this information, plus allowances for anticipated changes, is inputted to the field trend

program after appropriate review with the Field Contracts Administrator (FCA) and the Site Manager.

Throughout the life of a subcontract, the FCA may receive requests from a subcontractor to amend the
scope, cost, or schedule aspects of a particular subcontract. Such request may be prompted by a
change in scope which was initiated by the client, Bechtel, or the subcontractor or by changing
conditions at the site or in the general market. Based on the nature of these proposed changes, the
FCA may request that the Field Controls Manager supply information for preparing an amendment
analysis. This information may be in the form of an engineer’s estimate, an independent manpower
loading, etc. Based on the scope of the work outlined by the FCA, the Field Controls Manager
performs the study and gives it to the FCA in a format that will allow comparison with the
subcontractor’s proposal. Specific guidelines on the FCA/Field Project Controls Manager interface
must be developed for each project.

FIGURE 6-11 - CHANGE NOTICE SUMMARY

As with the initial review of all subcontracts, the Field Controls Manager ensures that the effect of all
approved change orders is reported in the field trend program, cost and commitment ledgers, cash
flow analysis, forecast, schedule analysis, and construction intermediate schedules.

Work performed by Bechtel personnel at the request of a subcontractor or which was within the scope
of a subcontractor’s contracted scope of work should be backcharged to that subcontractor. The FCA
acts as a backcharge originator for all backcharges related to subcontractors. The Field Controls
Manager assists the FCA in preparing the backcharge.

Progress payment verification and approvals are the responsibility of the FCA and the field finance and
accounting department. The FCA is responsible for verifying the basis of payment, whether they are
based on installed quantities, percent complete against individual bid items, or any other method that
might have been developed for monitoring progress. (Note: QRS is a possible mechanism for
monitoring subcontracts, see section on the Quantity Reporting System for further information
including the role of the field project engineer). The project accounting manager is responsible for
verifying the arithmetical accuracy of all invoices and conformance with the terms, conditions, and
rates stated in the subcontract.

1997 Edition Principles of Construction Controls 6-15


Section 6 Working Level Cost Control

The Field Controls Manager is responsible for cost coding of subcontract invoices, when necessary,
and review of the current commitments.

The Subcontract Forecast Worksheet, shown in Figure 6-10, is developed and maintained jointly by
the Field Cost Engineer and the appropriate contracts administrator for each contract package.
Together they review the Change Notice Summary Report shown in Figure 6-11 and identify to-go
activities.

The Site Manager reviews the worksheet monthly. These worksheet reports are the primary tool used
to monitor projected contract costs with emphasis being placed on estimated to-go costs and review of
Allowance For Growth In Scope (AFGIS). Deviations from the previous month’s report are trended to
the home office to be incorporated into the Project Trend Report.
As mentioned above, the Change Notice Log is developed to assist in the statusing of the active
contracts to identify outstanding changes. This report is also used by project controls to status the
backlog of unevaluated changes and is used in preparing the Listing of Negotiated Proposals shown in
Figure 6-12.
Field project controls provides support to field contracts administration for other contract monitoring
reports including the Monthly Subcontractor Progress Table shown in Figure 6-13 and the
Subcontractor Data Report shown in Figure 6-14. Also a copy of the Subcontract Analysis Report is
shown in Appendix E and this document allows for evaluation of subcontract unit rate performance on
cost code/area/facility basis. More detailed tracking of contracts may be done on a bid item/pay item
basis in the contract monitoring submodule within PCWorks (See Appendix E for examples)

PCWorks contains a Cost and Commitment module which handles the cost control reporting of all
commitment and actual cost to-date information for all subcontracts and materials.
On a monthly basis, the field finance and accounting department updates the cost to-date information
from the accounts payable records. Project controls reviews the cost-to-date totals with accounting
and verifies the correctness of commitment totals for materials with field procurement and for
subcontracts with the FCA during execution.

The purpose of a Cost and Commitment Report is to visually display and compare committed values
versus the budgeted and forecasted values so that discrepancies and/or inappropriate relationships
between the values can be identified, investigated and resolved. Refer to the Glossary of Terms
included in Appendix A for additional information.

Figure 6-15 shows a typical Cost and Commitment Variance Report. Additional Cost and Commitment
Report formats are included in Appendix E, Section 7. Shown in columns 1 through 4 of Figure 6-15,
are the current budget (allocated), the current forecast (to be committed), job-to-date (JTD)
commitments, and the job-to-date (JTD) paid (i.e. actual cost). Important variances or deltas are
calculated by comparing:

FIGURE 6-14 - SUBCONTRACT DATA REPORT

If either of the first two above deltas result in a negative variance, then the variance should be reduced
to zero employing the appropriate adjustments after making a thorough investigation. The third delta
requires adjustments to be made if the delta is positive. Finally, the last delta may be either positive or
negative. If negative, then the forecast exceeds the budget due to overruns.
This report is the first produced by the Cost Engineer and serves to flag any problems that need
resolution before the formal report is issued. This report is developed in accordance with the cost
codes and is one of the more detailed CO/CO reports produced. An example of a Cost Commitment
Management Report is shown in Figure 6-16. Other cost and commitment summaries and detailed
report options by PO/Contract and by cost code are displayed in Appendix E. Also refer to PCDP 4.07
for additional information.

Section 6 Working Level Cost Control

DISTRIBUTABLE REPORTS

Distributables control tools, which should be set up for monthly statusing, consist of the following:
1. Material and Subcontract expenditure curves for all major distributable accounts (i.e. 51, 52, and
53), showing budget, forecast, and cost to-date
2. Manual jobhour curve, including manual support labor for all major distributable jobhour accounts,
showing budget, current forecast, and expended to-date.
3. Curve showing distributable manual jobhours spent as a percentage of direct manual jobhours, to-
date and over selected intervals of time (e.g. monthly or weekly as appropriate).
4. Field Non-Manual Organization Chart.
5. Field Non-Manual Bar Chart Schedule showing budget, forecast, and actual durations by position.
Actual start dates and release dates should be recorded.
6. Construction Equipment Schedules showing count by type of equipment for budget, forecast, and
actual by month.
Figure 6-18 summarizes a typical informational flow for distributable material and subcontracts.

FIGURE 6-17 - FIELD MATERIAL REQUISITION

Field Material Requisitions (FMRs) as shown in Figure 6-17 are initiated by the Field Engineers or
Superintendents. FMRs are typically approved by the Site Manager, Field Superintendent, or Project
Field Engineer. The FMR is reviewed by the Field Cost Engineer for cost coding and analysis for
deviations against the budget/forecast for the identification of a possible trend. Field Procurement

6-20 Pinciples of Construction Controls 1997 Edition

purchases the material or services utilizing the FMR during the bid, evaluation and award process.
Invoices reviewed by accounting are paid referencing the FMR for proper project cost code distribution
on the Accounts Payable Ledger (APL). The APL is the source document that provides actual cost
information to the Field Cost Engineer on distributable material and subcontract cost. Also, the CO/CO
report is another source of this information.

FIGURE 6-19 - DISTRIBUTABLE MATERIALS AND SUBCONTRACTS COST SUMMARY

Typically, FMRs are written, approved, and cost coded daily. Field procurement purchases the
material or services to meet the delivery dates on the FMR. The Field Accounting Office Manager
issues the APL on the seventh working day of the month. The Field Distributable Report is normally
issued by the 20th day of the month.

The Field Distributables Report compares the accrued actuals by account for material and/or
subcontract costs and may include jobhour actuals against budget, forecast, or target. These are
typically compared to a planned value, as shown in Figure 6-19, and presented graphically for major
distributable accounts, as shown in Figures 6-20, 6-21, and 6-22. This summarization allows the
project to monitor cost against the plan which can be used for forecasting, cash flow, and other control
programs.
Detailed information for distributable materials and subcontracts are tracked in the project CO/CO
which is covered earlier in this section in the subsection on subcontract/materials cost control.
Examples of summary presentation for distributable materials are included in Section 4, Project
Summary Reports. Refer to PCDP 4.07 (Part D) for additional information on distributable materials
and subcontracts.

Detailed performance information for distributable manual labor is tracked in the QURR covered earlier
in a related subsection. Examples of summary presentations are included in Section 4, Project
Summary Reports. Refer to PCDP 4.06 for more information on distributable labor.

The key planning tool for developing the field nonmanual plan is the bar chart, shown in Figure 6-23,
which displays the staffing requirements, types of assignments, durations and grades for each
position. A chart may be prepared during the proposal stage by construction. If not, construction will
prepare one at time of award. The Site Manager has overall responsibility for controlling nonmanual
jobhours for the project. Individual functional area field supervisors are responsible for controlling
staffing within their groups. The field nonmanual bar chart is updated showing status on a monthly
basis.
Once the field non-manual bar chart has been developed, the field non-manual labor analysis, as
shown in Figure 6-24, can be prepared. For positions for which candidates have not been identified,
the Field Cost Engineer should use average rates for an identified grade. The wage rate input for
each position should be the bare wage without payroll adds. Payroll adds and escalation are bottom
line adjustments. The analysis is statused and revised on a monthly basis.
The Field Nonmanual Cost Report, including graphs, serves as the overall summary for field
nonmanual jobhours and costs. The report is issued monthly with updated actuals as soon as
practical after the Bechtel accounting cut-off date. Scheduled and forecast expenditures are reviewed
and updated quarterly. In lieu of issuing a separate document, this report is often included as part of
the Field Distributables Report shown in Figure 6-25. The Field Cost Engineer compares actual cost to
budgets and forecasts, analyzes and points out potential impacts. The Field Planner must evaluate
staffing for consistency with the schedule.

Examples of related nonmanual summary graphs are included in Section 4 under Field Progress,
Performance, and Resource Curves. Refer to PCDP 4.05 for more information. The overall work
