The Estate Works Program




The Estate Works ProgramThe Estate Works Program (EWP) undertakes facility and infrastructure maintenance aimed at sustaining capability on the Defence Estate. The program also provides for development minor new capability (Minor New Works).Development of the program is managed on a multi‐year, rolling cycle providing flexibility and agility to meet changing requirements. Each year, the repository of requirements is reviewed at local, regional and national levels so those levels of Defence’s priority are understood.Work requirements are then sorted by risk and determinations are made around works to be released. Those requirements that are approved for programming by Defence are aggregated into projects of like works and released to delivery agents (PDS & EMOS) to pursue positive outcomes for Defence (Benefit Realisation).



The Estate Works ProgramWorks typically delivered by the Estate Works Program:• Building refurbishments• Replacement of fixed plant equipment• Asbestos removal and building demolition• Compliance and safety works in buildings and infrastructure• Road grading and resurfacing• Fuel installation works• Electrical, Water and Security infrastructure works• Minor constructionProjects range in value from $10k to $15M. The extremes of this value range are rare with the average project value being in the order of $1.5‐2M.

Defence Estate Quality Management System (DEQMS)The Defence Estate Quality Management System (DEQMS) enables access to business process information. This includes policies, processes, tools and templates, that are essential to the management and delivery of the estate related services provided by E&IG



EWP Suite of ContractsAvailable on DEQMS• The EWP primarily engages using the

Medium Works Contract (MEWC) to engage delivery contractors.

• Copies of these can be obtained from the DEQMS site.


Hand Over | Take OverUnderstand HOTO requirements & documentation from DEQMS• Identifies those Defence requirements which differ to normal industry practice, for

example;– Estate Data– As‐Built documentation IAW SDMP– Commissioning activities (e.g. Security, Fuel)– Compliance activities (e.g. certifications)– Energy & Sustainability IAW Smart Infrastructure Manual

• HOTO Guide used by Defence as quality assurance mechanism to provide confidence that EMOS have everything required to deliver ongoing operation.

• Completion of the Works not achieved until all project deliverables under the contract and HOTO checklist have been satisfied.

• Incomplete HOTO has a significant detrimental impact on Defence’s ability to maintain capability.



Estate Data and the GEMS Data Load (GDL) Understand Estate Information guidance on DEQMS• Often neglected by Contractors in the past, resulting in delays and conflict, however it is

a major deliverable of all EWP projects.• Where achievable, PDS will provide a pre‐populated GDL in the tender documentation

identifying assets to be created/updated. The Contractor will then;– Complete the remaining attributes associated with these Estate Records (e.g. serial number,

warranty etc)– Coordinate with PDS & EMOS to ensure compliance of data with Defence requirements.

• In some instances the Contractor will be required to fulfil all Estate Data requirements, including:– Deconflicting of existing Estate Data records– Creating ‘shells’ for new estate (spaces/locations) records– Creating ‘shells’ for new equipment & infrastructure records– Update existing records to identify asset disposal.– Complete attributes associated with these Estate Records (e.g. serial number, warranty etc)– Coordinate with PDS & EMOS to ensure compliance of data with Defence requirements.– Specialist Estate Data providers are available in the marketplace.



Key Contract Terms & ConditionsLiquidated Damages• Daily rate, capped, provided in tender documentation.

Agreed Damages• In the case of a Commonwealth breach of contract, the Contractor may be eligible for

agreed damages at a daily rate agreed under the contract. A requested daily rate of agreed damages will be assessed for value to defence as part of the entire tender by the Tender Evaluation Board.

Security of Payments Obligations• Code covered entities (i.e. Contractors and Subcontractors) must now report any

disputed or delayed progress payments to the ABCC and relevant funding entity (i.e. Defence through PMCA) as soon as practicable after the date on which the payment falls due.



Key Contract Terms & ConditionsUnconditional Undertaking• Bank Guarantees are utilised in lieu of retentions.• In an effort to reduce costs of doing business with Defence and to remove a barrier for

new SMEs, from 1 July 2020 all new Medium Works Contracts up to $2m ex GST will not require Bank Guarantees.

Maintenance during Defect Liability Period• Option to be provided by Contractor to undertake statutory/planned maintenance during

DLP.• The timely achievement of HOTO deliverables, including Estate Data, will negate the need

for Contractor maintenance.Defence‐Specific Clauses• Clauses associated with delivering Defence projects (e.g. Method of Work Plan for airside

work, Defence policy for working in Major Hazardous Facilities). • Contact PDS for further information.



Key Contract Terms & ConditionsLatent Conditions• ‘In Ground’ only (all other ‘unforeseen circumstances’ are administered as a

standard Variation).• Contact Clause: “Any ground conditions at the Site…, which could not have been

anticipated by a prudent, competent and experienced contractor”.• Any claims will be assessed in accordance with that information provided at

tender and Defence policy.Delays • Extensions of Time may be considered for the following;

– An Act of The Commonwealth– A Variation– Latent Conditions– Inclement Weather (but not conditions resulting from inclement weather), which

couldn’t have been reasonable expected.

• The award of an EOT does not necessarily also entitle the Contractor to the payment of Agreed Damages or any other claim.



What are some other Hot Buttons?• Waste and Recycling: What can be done to propose and

deliver favourable outcomes. – Reduce/recycle glass, plastic, rubbish, paper!

• Safety management of sub‐contractors• Others as mentioned: IPP, SME engagement, Local

Industry, Security, Incident reporting, Quality Management and nailing the HOTO process!
