Comparison of Design & Build and EPC
Design & Build (D&B)
• In a design-build contract, the client provides a high-level design outline, which the contractor has to
refine and carry out detailed engineering.
• Globally, FIDIC Yellow book is followed in D&B Projects.
Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC)

• In an EPC contract, the client provides only a concept design and functional requirements. The
Contractor has to design the entire solution.
• Globally, FIDIC Silver book is followed in EPC / Turnkey Projects.
• In India, various clients generally use these terms interchangeably. We generally have a model on
D&B lines.

• L&T Overview
• Why EPC ?
• Key Enablers
• Conclusion

Issues in EPC Projects and Recommendations for Improvement
Pre-Qualification Criteria:
• Technical Capacity of the tenderer should be evaluated based on the past experiences in Railway projects only.
• Participation in EPC tenders should be limited only to contractors with EPC experience.
• Mandatory participation of all JV stake holders in project execution will ensure completion of project in time and
Prevents credentials borrowing from foreign companies who have limited contribution in project execution.

Site Visit & Geo-Tech Investigation:

• Site Visit not organized by client
• Necessary Permission to undertake Geotech investigation generally not granted by Client in Doubling / Third
Line Projects
Recommendation:
• Site visit on motor trolley or inspection car should be organized by client to enable the contractor to visit all the
critical locations in the project stretch.
• This shall enable the contractor to investigate the critical locations in a detailed manner during a separate
site visit.
• Necessary Permission to undertake Geotech investigation should be granted by client.
• For the tenders which involves S&T scope of works, client should organize a separate site visit to model stations
and provide necessary access to the contractor into IPS Rooms, Relay Rooms and Important Location Boxes
for observation and collecting necessary details.
Ambiguity in Project Scope in Bid Documents
Any ambiguity in project scope shall lead to speculations and incorrect assessment of the project cost.
Ex : CR Ghoradongri Chichonda Tender.

Tender Abstract : Toe wall ( RCC)/Retaining Wall (RCC )=12000m. The length provided above is for guidance only,
the same may increase or decrease as per design proposed by the Contractor and approved by the Authority. Any
change in length shall not amount to variation.
Estimation by L&T : Toe wall ( RCC)/Retaining Wall (RCC )=20000m
Recommendation:
• Above scenario shall lead to speculations. In EPC tenders, such quantities should not be defined by the client
and it should be left to the EPC tenderer to design and estimate.
• If quantity to be executed is defined in the tender, it should form the basis of assessment for client and
contractor. Any variation (increase or decrease) during the project execution shall be treated as a variation.
Change of Scope & Variation:
1. Minor change in scope like change in yard layout during execution stage, construction of platforms for higher
design load etc. are not being qualified for variation in few projects which creates uncertainty amongst the
contractors.
2. Variation orders are generally issued towards the end of the project which delays the completion of project within
specified timelines.
Recommendation:
Any change in scope should clearly constitute a variation since EPC doesn’t mean any change in scope should be
borne by the contractor.
Any variation should not be issued towards the end of the project to avoid delays in project closure.

Issues in EPC Projects and Recommendations for Improvement |
Project Estimate
Provision for Quantity Risk:

5% of the cost shall be considered towards quantity risk in the EPC estimate
Provision for additional resources / acceleration:

2% - 3% of project value towards acceleration shall be considered in the project estimate for projects with tight
timelines.
Provision for Idling of Resources during Project Execution:
Suitable provision towards idling of men and machinery should be considered in the estimate.

Project Estimate
Supply Items
Railway estimate for major items like Copper conductor, Steel structure, P-way Supplies, Cement, Steel, Cables
etc. are generally derived from the Zonal Railway’s LARs. While capturing the rates from LARs, recent market
fluctuations in the prices due to the change in prevailing commodity prices as on base date is not captured.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that latest market quotations with PV formula should be collected while preparing estimates.
The estimate needs to be updated using the PV formulae provided by the vendors during the tendering stage to
revise the estimate appropriately.

Project Estimate
Estimate for Earthwork
• Various elements involved in earthwork cost are as follows:
SN Cost Element Rate Remarks
1 Owner’s Royalty Site Specific.

Realistic Owner’s Royalty to
Varies based on the project
be included in the estimate.
2 Government Royalty location.
3 Excavation
Extra rate for transportation
4 Transportation (Up to 4 Km) ~ Rs. 140 - 150 / Cum * of earth beyond 4 km is ~Rs
15 / Cum / Km.
5 Processing (i.e. Grading, Rolling etc.)
* Note: This rate shall increase for areas with difficult terrain, places with higher than average rainfall, Non-availability of Local
P&M etc.
Generally the estimate are prepared based on LARs of similar project in nearby locations and not based on the prevalent market
rates.
Recommendation: It is recommended that employer’s representative or engineer should carry out local survey in the region to
assess the ownership royalty based on the prevalent Demand – Supply.
It is also recommended to add suitable differential of transportation charges based on actual leads calculated for the project.
Project Estimate
Estimate for Blanketing
• Blanketing is a critical item in terms of cost composition for projects including civil scope of works.
• For blanketing, there are criteria defined by RDSO for gradation & CBR which are important factors deciding the
actual cost of blanketing for a project.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that employer should insist engineer / consultant to submit the test reports to determine the
blending ratio which has been considered to assess the cost for blanketing. Accordingly blanketing cost should
include the cost of Sand / Crusher dust / Aggregates etc. based on the blending ratio.

Project Estimate
Estimate for Ballast
It has been observed that in various tenders, Ballast rate is considered from the nearest available quarry /
crushers. However, criteria for ballast as per RDSO is stringent and we have experienced that only few quarries
available near the project section meets these specifications.
Any change in source of Ballast shall lead to additional lead which in turn shall increase the cost of ballast (Current
transportation rate of ballast varies between Rs. 5 to 7 / MT / KM across the country)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Sourcing of Ballast from suitable quarry which meets the specification should only be
considered in the estimate after duly factoring the prevalent Royalty rates & Local transportation rates.
Employer should insist engineer / consultant to submit the test reports of the material from the quarry considered
for estimation purpose
Project Estimate
Major Cost Elements in Concrete
SN Cost Element Rate
1 Cement
Site Specific.
2 Coarse Aggregate Varies based on the project
location.
3 Fine Aggregate
4 Concrete Production
5 Concrete Transportation ~ Rs. 2000 - 2500 / Cum
6 Concrete Laying
It has been observed that Concrete rates from nearby projects are being considered for cost estimation. However, the LAR may not
be valid due to various reasons like different nature of work, Batching plant requirement etc.
In composite projects, continuous availability of workfront for concrete is not available due to lack of Access to Site within defined
timelines, delay in design approvals, design clearance from concerned zonal railways etc. and hence batching plants in composite
project is utilised only about 20-25% of its rated capacity.
Extended stay of batching plant at site becomes inevitable to complete the entire scope of concrete works. Other Machinery
associated with batching plant like wheel loaders, transit mixers and concrete pumps etc. also ends up with extended stay at site.
This increases the cost of concrete production, transportation and laying beyond planned cost.
Recommendation: It is recommended that in addition to considering actual prevalent rates for material for concrete, Production,
transportation & laying cost to be considered around INR 2500 / Cum for composite works
Traffic Block / Power Block
Total aggregate hours of traffic / power block are generally mentioned in EPC tender. However, minimum
continuous duration of the block is not mentioned which creates uncertainty in mobilization of Workmen and P&M
for block working.
Recommendation:
Minimum continuous duration of the block should be clearly indicated in the tender and the same shall be followed
during execution in spirit.

Key Enablers for development and execution of EPC project |
A win-win approach
Large scale EPC Projects (> 200km) would enable high degree of mechanisation
Project Size &
Scope Integrated EPC Projects - Eliminates dependency on the slowest contractor (weak-link) that might hold
the commissioning of a Railway Line
Tender estimates should be realistic to facilitate early finalization of tender
Tender Aspects Strong financials and mandatory participation of all JV stake holders in project execution - Ensures
completion of project and Prevents credentials borrowing from foreign companies who have limited
contribution in project execution
Contract Price weightages of various activities should be realistic

• Recent guidelines from Model EPC Agreement regarding payment milestones should be followed
Cash Flow in Spirit.
• Contractor should be allowed to sub-divide the milestones and payment should be made for each
stage of work after necessary approval from the client

Unfavourable Payment Milestones
The milestone-based payment terms in EPC contract are unfavourable and affect the cash flows adversely. Our
detailed internal analysis in the recent EPC tenders shows that even with mobilization advance and a practical
schedule, the project will have negative cash flows for significant duration. (Average - 10% and Peak - 15% of
CV). Such a high negative cashflow significantly affects the performance of the project and leads to delay.
Recommendation:
Payment Milestones in future tenders should be modified to assist neutral cashflow which shall facilitate timely
project execution. Employer should facilitate the contractor by approving sub-milestones during the execution of
the project.

Project Estimate
Additional resources requirement:
For every project, the initial Mobilisation, Survey & Design takes certain minimum time which is generally same for
all projects.
In such scenario, challenging Project Timeline (e.g. 1. 42 months for 125 TKM in Central Railway Ghoradongri –
Chichonda composite project including tunnelling & viaduct works and 2. 24 months for 1060 TKM in Gr. 207 & 208
RE Project) requires additional offices and temporary setups, higher manpower and machinery considerations
including dependency on Traffic Block and Tower Wagon/ Formation availability.
The above leads to higher costs which is generally overlooked while preparing the client estimate which is
generally based on LARs.

Pre-Qualification Criteria
Technical and Financial criteria does not make it mandatory for tenderers to have experience of work in Railway
construction. This leads to increased responses from non-railway contractors who may not be able to make a
realistic assessment of challenges involved in Railway Work and cost associated
Recommendation:
Technical Capacity of the tenderer should be evaluated based on the past experiences in Railway projects only.
Mandatory participation of all JV stake holders in project execution will ensures completion of project in time and
Prevents credentials borrowing from foreign companies who have limited contribution in project execution.
Further, participation in EPC tenders should be limited only to contractors with EPC experience.

Time for Bidding
EPC bids floated by Zonal Railways usually provides around 45 – 60 days for bidding which is generally insufficient
to estimate the reasonable price of the project.
Ex : NWR Phulera Degana bid was floated on 8th June 2017 and the tender was submitted on 2nd August 2017
Recommendation:
The EPC nature of this contract demands extensive prebid investigations of the project site including conducting
survey for design of alignment and for estimation of earthwork quantities, soil investigation for embankment design,
geotechnical investigations, collecting High Flood Level and hydrological data for structure designing, validation of
RFP details with respect to actual site conditions, etc. Hence, it is recommended that minimum 3 to 4 months’ time
for EPC bids should be provided for bidding based on scope of work & project length.

Project Estimate
Provision for Price Variation Risk

(PV risk due to inadequate compensation with tender PV formulae)
• In conventional SOR projects, there are separate PV formulae for different schedules which covers the risk to a large extent.
• In EPC tenders where payments are milestone based, the percentage for each milestone is not a true reflection of its actual
price.
• Low correlation is observed between Cost Composition of works in a particular milestone and indices in corresponding PV
formula which leads to PV risk.
• In EPC projects, Contract PV formulae is based on WPI indices which have poor correlation with the actual escalation indices
(LME/IEEMA , Steel prices, Diesel etc.) for major items (copper conductors, steel structures, Transformers, cables, P-way
Supplies, Earthworks, Concrete etc.) and expose the Contractor to major risks due to mismatch between the PV inflow and
outflows. Therefore certain provision for PV risk needs to be considered while preparing Client estimate.
Recommendation: It is recommended that relevant indices like IEEMA, LME etc. be used for relevant items in upcoming EPC
tenders for PV calculation.
To cater to the balance PV risk, it is recommended to include ~5% of cost in the estimate for a project of 24 - 36 months duration.

Project Estimate
Provision for Financing charges
The milestone-based payment terms in EPC contract are unfavourable and affect the cash flows adversely. Our
detailed internal analysis shows that even with mobilization advance and a practical schedule the project will have
negative cash flows for significant duration. (Average - 10% and Peak - 15% of CV). This attracts financing cost for
the project which any contractor will build in his price.
Therefore provision for financing charges against negative cashflow in addition to the interest charges for
mobilization advance (if applicable) needs to be considered while preparing Client estimate.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that 3% of the Contract Value should be considered towards financing charges and interest on
mobilisation advance in the estimate.

Project Estimate
Associated civil scope of works under-estimated in the project estimates for electrical (RE) projects:
It has been observed that Client estimate for associated civil works are generally based on per TKM extrapolation rather than
considering actual scope of works and quantities. The comparative statement below shows that quantities of certain items vary
significantly in various bids, but the client estimate does not capture the same sufficiently.
Associated Civil Works UoM CORE Del - JPR CORE Gr. 207 & 208
Service Buildings (Sq.m) Sq.m/TKM 3.41 10.45

Track Works
a. Glued Joints Nos. 24 836
b. Turn Out & Derailing Switch Nos. 3 12
Higher requirement of Approach Road Sq.m/TKM 10.1 67.6
Height Guage Nos./TKM 0.17 0.47
Tree Plantation / Landscaping No. Trees 1000 7980
Recommendation: It is recommended that cost estimate should be carried out judiciously for all items based on actual scope of
work even if the scope is minor in nature.
Project Estimate
Provision for Quantity Risk
Client estimates are generally prepared based on references and LARs of SOR projects wherein the Quantity risk is borne by
Client. SOR projects generally end up with significantly higher contract values predominantly due to the quantity variation. The
table below provides a summary of certain SOR projects.
In EPC Contracts where the Quantity risks lies with the Contractor, Contractor needs to consider certain risk provision towards
quantity escalation .This is generally not considered in the Client Estimate.
