Value engineering
looking for an engineer well versed in a
certain area of expertise
Request for Qualifications
looking for a civil engineer with a good project proposal.
Request for Proposals
contract procedure used to
supplement a client staff, either by providing an extension to existing disciplines and capabilities
already on board or by adding special disciplines not available on the client’s staff.
Level of effort
sets forth the general nature of services
to be rendered, the types of specialists required and the estimated number of hours required during
the contract period for each type and grade of specialist and then requests proposals from qualified
firms.
QBS procedure
Qualification Based Selection
preferred method
for procurement of professional services
Qualifications-Based Selection of Engineering Services (QBS)
involves submission of a technical proposal in one envelope and a
price proposal in a second envelope.
Two-Envelope System
“direct salaries plus employee benefits” and includes salaries for
partners and principals and for technical, professional, administrative, and clerical staff directly.
Salary Cost
sick leave, vacation, holiday, and incentive pay; unemployment and other
payroll taxes; and contributions for social security, workers’ compensation insurance for retirement,
medical, and other group benefits.
Chargeable to the project
The average multiplier should be between _ & _ times the average salary cost.
2.5 and 3.0
a higher multiplier is usually applicable for services requiring recommendations
based on extensive experience and special knowledge, or for services involving expert testimony in
legal proceedings. (T or F)
True
a. Living and traveling expenses of principals and employee’s when away from the home office
on business connected with the project
b. Identifiable communications expenses, such as long-distance telephone, facsimile, telegraph,
shipping charges, and special postage charges
c. Expenses for services and equipment directly applicable to the project, such as for special
technical equipment, special legal and accounting services, special computer rental and
programming services, computer run time and file storage, CADD charges, sub consultants and
subcontractors commercial printing and binding
Direct non-salary expenses
e. Expenses for unusual insurance and specialized health and safety programs and for
special clothing for projects with extraordinary risks such as toxic and hazardous waste conditions.
Direct non-salary expenses
separate item for
reimbursement, usually with a service charge.
Direct
nonsalary expenses
very similar to the salary cost times multiplier in
that the hourly billing rate includes all direct personnel expense, overhead, and profit.
hourly billing rate method of compensation
refers to an eight-hour day
PER DIEM
Direct personal services are frequently
charged on this basis.
This basis is also particularly suited to expert witness or other legal type
services and to other short-term engagements involving intermittent personal services.
Per diem
the civil engineer is reimbursed for the actual costs of all
services and supplies related to the project, including
• • Salary costs
• • Overhead
• • Direct non-salary expenses
• • Fixed fee, an amount to compensate the civil engineer for contingencies, interest on
invested capital, readiness to serve, and profit
cost plus fixed fee agreement
The fixed fee amount varies with the complexity and scope of the engineering services required. It is
frequently calculated as a percentage of the salary costs, overhead, and direct non -salary expenses. (T or F)
True
this is a fund given to the engineer to use for minor expense that might be
encountered during the project.
Revolving fund
It allows the engineer to operate the processing of documents or
other minor expenses without the need to constantly asking the client for minor expenses.
Revolving fund
frequently used for investigations and studies for basic
services on design type projects where the scope and complexity of the assignment are clearly and
fully defined.
fixed price method of compensation
amount can be calculated as the sum total of estimated engineering
costs for salaries, overhead, and non-salary expenses, an allowance for contingencies, interest on
invested capital, readiness to serve, and a reasonable amount for profit.
Fixed price
This
method may be used to determine the compensation of the engineer for services where the principal
responsibility is the detailed design or construction supervision of facilities to be constructed.
percentage of construction cost method
estimated total cost of constructing the facility to be covered by
the proposed detailed design or construction supervision services, excluding the fees and other costs
of such services, the cost of land and right-of-way, and legal and administrative expenses.
Construction cost
Civil engineers regularly employed in the private sector shall have a minimum compensation
corresponding to _% more than the minimum wage prevailing in the region as basic monthly salary.
10
A civil engineer employed in the private sector who signs and seals the civil engineering
plans, specifications, and other related documents of a certain project for and in behalf of his
