This book addresses the process and principles of contract management in construction from an international perspective. It presents a well-structured, in-depth analysis of construction law doctrines necessary to understand the fundamentals of contract management. The book begins with an introduction to contract management and contract law and formation. It then discusses the various parties to a contract and their relevant obligations, whether they are engineers, contractors or subcontractors. It also addresses standard practices when drafting and revising contracts, as well as what can be expected in standard contracts general clauses. Two chapters are dedicated to contract clauses, with one focused on contract administration such as schedules, payment certificates and defects liability, and the other focused on contract management, such as terminations, dispute resolutions and claims. This book provides a useful reference to engineers, project managers and students within the field of engineering and construction management.

The Field Manual for Oil and Gas Construction Contracts Management is written for major civil and engineering contractors and clients, not only in the petrochemical industry but in any venture where contract terms are critical and construction claims may be encountered. The book approaches the contract from both client and contractor perspectives, and gives practical advice on lessening vulnerability and the behind-closed-doors aspects of contract negotiation. It also includes tips on dealing with indigenous workforces, contract language and loopholes, quality control, and contract closeout. Sample documents such as contract amendments and change orders are provided, as well as eleven case studies and a glossary, making this an ideal choice for a textbook. The Field Manual for Oil and Gas Construction Contracts Management is also well suited for use in seminars for clients, contractors, project managers, and engineers.

Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel Project, a 7.8 mile system of bridges and underground highways and ramps, is the most expensive public works project ever undertaken in the United States. The original cost estimate of $2.6 billion has already been exceeded by $12 billion, and the project will not be completed until 2005, seven years late. The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (MTA), the public steward of the project, requested that the National Research Council carry out an independent assessment of the project's management and contract administration practices, with a focus on the present situation and measures that should be taken to bring the project to a successful conclusion. This report presents the committee's findings and recommendations pertaining to cost, scheduling, and transitioning from the current organization dominated by consultants to an operations organization composed largely of full-time MTA staff. The report recommends that MTA establish an external, independent, peer-review program to address technical and management issues until the transition to operations and maintenance is complete; begin a media campaign now to teach drivers how to use the new system safely; and develop, immediately implement, and maintain a comprehensive security program.
