or Project Proposal Contractor procurement of early vendor

engineering ( beneficial engineering ), and early engineering
by vendors using time unit rates under the Project Proposal
Contractor's contract.
3.4.1.2 Surplus 9COM Material and Equipment
Review Surplus 9COM (previously known as Direct Charge

DC) material and equipment list that could be incorporated in
the project's design. Surplus 9COM material and equipment
should be looked at in the earliest stages of design so that it can
be incorporated into the design.
3.4.1.3 Excess 9CAT Materials
Review Excess 9CAT (previously known as Saudi Aramco

Materials System SAMS) materials list of high-dollar-value
items ($10,000 and above) that could be incorporated in the
project's design.
3.4.2 Materials Procurement Plan
The Material Procurement Plan is to be completed by the Project Manager

nearing completion of the Project Proposal package with input from the
Inspection Coordinator and Materials Procurement Coordinator. It also
relies upon information from the Procurement Strategy developed in the
DBSP phase. The Materials Procurement Coordinator will ensure that
recommendations are agreed upon by the relevant departments of the
Materials Supply organization before decisions are made by the
Construction Agency.
This plan designates responsibilities between Saudi Aramco and

Contractors for cost effective supply of materials and equipment to meet
project schedules.
The Materials Procurement Plan requires addressing maximum cost-

effective usage of locally manufactured materials, use of on-hand and
surplus materials, materials quantity concerns, standardization and total cost
of ownership, and takes into consideration the guidelines of SAEP-125,
Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards, and the Supply Chain Management
Manual. Furthermore, the plan should address the use of existing corporate
agreements; vendor selection criteria; material quality concerns;
documentation; expediting; inspection; packing and marking; shipping,
clearance and receiving; storing, issuing, staging, and the return and
Page 12 of 42
3.4.1 Materials Procurement Strategy
The procurement strategy is to be developed near the end of the DBSP

(after all major equipment is identified) and feeds the Materials
Procurement Plan during Project Proposal and is done with input from the
SAPMT representative, Materials Procurement Coordinator, Contracting
Coordinator, and Inspection Coordinator. The recommendations are
agreed upon by the relevant departments of the Materials Supply
organization (thru Materials Procurement Coordinator) and decisions are
made by the Construction Agency. The Materials Procurement Strategy:
Provides important project background information that highlights
the main procurement requirements for the project.
Highlights those items (i.e. long lead and novated items) that require
special early attention from a procurement perspective in order to
avoid delays in project execution.
Details the various strategies that could be used to source equipment
and materials, including internal sourcing (using existing inventory),
external sourcing by Saudi Aramco, and external sourcing via a
contractor.
Provides a recommended strategy to utilize for procurement of
materials (to be used and detailed further in the Materials
Procurement Plan in the Project Proposal phase).
3.4.1.1 Critical and Long Lead-Time Material and Equipment
Prepare an itemized listing of material and equipment

considered critical and/or long lead items. Specific actions
should be identified to ensure that such items will arrive at the
designated job site on or before the required dates irrespective
if handled by Saudi Aramco or by a contractor. Examples of
such actions include use of air freight, dedicated trucks,
premiums, penalty and incentives, identification, prioritization,
and close monitoring of critical material and its proper ties to
the construction schedule, SAPMT representative at vendor's
shop, expediting custom clearance, unloading and placing large
material on foundations rather than storing, etc.
If procurement of major equipment and materials is on the

critical path of the project schedule, SAPMT shall consider
various strategies to reduce its impact to the project schedule.
Such strategies may include early Company procurement, early
Company procurement and assignment ( novation ), Company
Page 11 of 42
phases (i.e., Project Proposal, Detailed Design, Procurement and

Construction). Information shall be categorized by the major contracting
phases mentioned and include the following:
a) Type of Contract (Lump Sum Turnkey, Lump Sum, Lump Sum
Procure/Build, Reimbursable Cost, Unit Rate, etc.) and the reasons
for selection.
b) Procurement Method (Competitive Bid, Sole Source, etc.) and
reasons for selection and whether an existing General Bid Slate /
Screening List will be used.
c) Appropriate Project and Contracting Milestones, for example:
- Prepare and Issue Bid Packages
- Expenditure Request Approval (ERA)
- Contract Award
- Mechanical Completion
- On Stream
The Contacting Strategy shall include an exhibit illustrating the

contracting plan in matrix form (See Exhibit D).
3.3.2 Contracting Plans
A Contracting Plan is required for each contract action (or related

contract actions) unless the requirement has been waived in writing by
the Contracting Representative. The Contracting Plan is the joint
responsibility of the Contracting Department and the contract proponent
(Construction Agency). After approval by the Contract Signatory, the
Contracting Plan shall be incorporated into the Project Execution Plan.
For more detailed instructions, refer to the Saudi Aramco Supply Chain
Management Manuals, Volume-I, Section 7.3.
Prior to carrying out a detailed analysis as part of the Contract Plan,

potential contracting alternatives in the form of a summary level
schedule comparison shall be prepared (See Exhibit E).
3.4 Materials Procurement
The Materials Procurement Strategy describes the potential strategies for the
different procurement options available. The Materials Procurement Plan
addresses project material requirements, their procurement and movement and it
should define the proposed procurement and traffic responsibilities of Saudi
Aramco and the Contractor(s).
Page 10 of 42
The DWR is required for projects Type A, B, C and C1 except for the
DWR in the Study Phase, which is not applicable to Type C or C1
projects.
Note: The DWR is a list of deliverables proposed by the integrated project
team (IPT) in order to waive those deliverables in the next FEL Phase
that they deem unnecessary or inapplicable to the proposed project or
the information that is generally found in these deliverables can be
located/obtained from other sources without additional work. It also,
provides the rationale for each deliverable included in the deliverable
waiver request. For more details on the DWR process, refer to Value
Assurance Manual.
3.3 Contracting
The contract development process is often intricate and interrelated and once
actions based on a particular strategy are initiated, it may not be practical or
possible to modify the strategy. An overall contracting strategy, which
addresses all aspects of the work, must be developed and presented by the
contract proponent (Construction Agency) to management at an early stage of
every project.
3.3.1 Contracting Strategy
An initial Contracting Strategy document reflecting the IPT's initial view

on what type(s) of contracts to be used shall be prepared as part of each
Initial PEP during the Business Case and then updated in following
phases with incremental information. The final version is developed in
the Project Proposal phase.
The Senior Planning Engineer, Contracting Coordinator, and the SAPMT

representative provide input for the development of the initial Contracting
Strategy. The Project Leader recommends an appropriate Contracting
Strategy while the Construction Agency makes the final determination.
For the updated and final versions of the Contracting Strategy, input
comes from the Senior Project Engineer, Contracting Coordinator, and
the FPD representative. This Contracting Strategy shall be updated by
the contract proponent (Construction Agency) to reflect any major
changes (particularly related to OOK contracts, non-lump sum contracts,
and non-competitive awards). For other organizations, the Contracting
Strategy is included for information purpose only. If a Full PEP is not
prepared, the Contracting Strategy (as applicable) shall be updated even
if other parts of the Abbreviated PEP are not.
The Contracting Strategy shall summarize the plans for developing and
procuring the necessary contracts for the project's major contracting

construction, as applicable.
3.2.5 Project Location
PEP should state location of project and indicate whether offshore or

onshore and reference any issues regarding site selection (Land Use
Permit or other issues).
3.2.6 Project hot tap/stopple operations, tie-ins & shutdown requirements
In addition to hot tap/stopple operations and tie-ins, the PEP should also
identify shutdown requirements and if it is planned during Plant T&I.
3.2.7 Related Projects
PEP should identify other related projects that may impact the project
positively or negatively.
3.2.8 Deliverables Waiver Request
Summarize the plan to prepare the Deliverable Waiver Request (DWR)

and obtain its approval. The DWR is concluded at completion of
Business Case, Study, DBSP and Finalize FEL phases.
The Front End Loading Manual provides recommended deliverables for

Type A, B, C and C1 projects over $ 20MM. For Projects less than or
equal to $20MM, the recommended deliverables list is provided as
