Event
FIDIC Matrix EPC and DBO Contracts course, Dubai, 31 October- 1 November 2016
Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel
This 2 -day intensive course will provide a thorough understanding of two FIDIC forms of contract of growing importance in international projects: the EPC/Turnkey (Silver Book) form of contract and the relatively recent (2008) Design-Build-Operate (Gold Book) form. We will also examine making and defending claims under FIDIC contracts.
The course is accredited by FIDIC and each delegate will receive a course completion certificate.
Topics covered
The course begins by introducing FIDIC and the FIDIC suite of contracts, including latest developments. We place the Silver and Gold Books in context, examining the specific needs or objectives which each form was introduced to meet and showing how each relates to and contrasts with the other FIDIC forms.
We follow with a detailed consideration of individual clauses of the two Books, beginning with the EPC/Turnkey model of procurement underlying the Silver Book and highlighting the main distinguishing features of this FIDIC design-build form. We examine the main clauses of the Gold Book, comparing and contrasting its design-build elements with the Silver Book on such key issues as contractor responsibility for design, fitness for purpose, errors in Employer’s Requirements and unforeseeable physical conditions. We highlight the new procedures, terminology and structure of the Gold Book so that delegates will have a thorough grasp of this complex area.
We also consider in detail the claims process under the FIDIC construction contracts including the sub-clause 20.1 time bar. We look at practical points about making and defending claims, managing a dispute and reducing the risk of lengthy and expensive proceedings as well as how the contracts provide for resolving disputes, including the DAB process, amicable settlement and arbitration.
Throughout the 2 days there will be opportunity to discuss and debate the material covered aided by case studies and active participation will be encouraged.
