General observation that the quality of the constructed project has been deteriorating.
This observation is confirmed by the Banks’ Project Managers, Executing Agencies and International Consultants.
It is also perceived that good International Consultants are losing interest in Bank-funded projects.
The current trend in diminished Quality Outcome of the constructed project needs to be reversed.

A major cause is the diminished quality of design.
Lower quality design results in lower quality construction and increased variation orders, resulting in increased cost of the project.
Other factors contribute as well, including:
Corruption;
Incompetent Contractors;
Poor Project Management;
Lack of Resources to Manage Contractors.

“Consultant selection is highly critical to the success of the entire project; to save a small percentage, perhaps 1% or less of project cost, is not worthwhile, considering the potential risks.”

Quality in the process of selection of engineering consultants refers to those factors which will enable the consultant to produce the best value solution to the Client’s Terms of Reference: and includes the Firm’s relevant professional competence and experience, managerial ability, financial capability, availability of resources, capability of designated staff, quality and integrity management systems, and demonstrated understanding of the Project and the Client’s Brief.

clearly convey project vision;evaluate and select consultants;understand the risks and procedures
inherent in project execution; and follow through with proper O&M

“It is unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too
little. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose
everything because the thing you bought was incapable of
doing the thing you bought it to do.”
“The common law of business balance prohibits paying a
little and getting a lot – it can’t be done.”John Ruskin (1819 – 1900)
British Poet, Scientist and Philosopher
“Price has no meaning except in terms of the quality of the
product.”Dr W. Edward Deming (1900-1993)

The procurement of consulting engineer services has the greatest impact on the Life-Cycle Cost of the project, yet is the least costly component. The Owner’s challenge is to get a good “return on investment” in design services.

The recommended form of agreement is the FIDIC Client – Consultant Model Services Agreement (White Book) or at least a recognised standard contract, with appendices filled in as appropriate, reflecting the scope of work. The final TOR and the agreed methodology shall be incorporated in the scope of work. The selected firm should not be allowed to change the key staff or any major items included in its proposal, unless both parties agree that undue delay in the selection has made it necessary.

Result of Good Quality OutcomeF

Quality in Selection produces quality designs. Quality designs produce quality projects. Quality projects have fewer variation orders
during construction. Fewer variation orders result in lower
construction costs. Quality designs and lower construction costs
result in lower life-cycle costs. Quality in Selection is in the Owner’s best interest.

Hyatt Regency Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri
In July of 1981, two elevated walkways over the lobby of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed during a party, killing 111 people and injuring 188 others.
In 1995 a pedestrian bridge collapsed at the Maccabiah Games in Israel causing the deaths by drowning of about 40 athletes.
Engineering services for the structures were awarded on the basis of price.

“ …selection of an Architect or Engineer solely on price-competition basis provides the potential for reductions in quality due to initial underestimation of the costs and resources required to adequately perform the work.”

Business Integrity ManagementF

Corruption undermines the achievement of a Quality Outcome, and the practice of business integrity is crucial to fighting corruption.
FIDIC recommends that consulting engineers adopt the FIDIC Business Integrity Management System (BIMS), and that Owners have regard to this policy during selection.

Capacity BuildingF

Improves the Quality Outcome of the constructed project.
Fee competition is detrimental to Capacity Building.
As a result of fee competition, local firms are not adequately compensated.
Banks may want to examine the need for “set-asides” of projects for local consultants.
The procurement for such “set-asides” should be based on quality principles.

SustainabilityF

Sustainability integrates the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of development, and is therefore fundamental to a Quality Outcome.
The FIDIC Project Sustainability Management (PSM) process provides a framework for the Owner and Engineer to balance project vision against cost and available alternatives, and select appropriate project goals and indicators for sustainable development. The indicators are linked back to higher level goals such as global warming, biodiversity, access to fresh water, and materials and energy use.

FIDIC recommends that consulting engineers adopt a Quality Management System, and that Owners have regard to this policy during selection.
A Quality Management System is a formalized project management structure that incorporates: Customer-focused leadership and organization; Employee involvement; A process and factual approach to decision making; Continuous improvement; and Mutually beneficial supplier (sub consultant) relationships.

The consulting engineering industry remains largely responsible for the planning, design, construction, inspection and management of the infrastructure needed to meet the world’s ever-increasing demand for food, water, sanitation, shelter, health services, transportation and energy. It tackles on a daily basis the problems of how to improve peoples’ lives while preserving natural resources in a world with a growing population.
