Features: This book is the first comprehensive interpretation of the FIDIC clauses and a thorough discussion of their application in China. It primarily introduces how FIDIC clauses are applied in Chinese project management, explains the clauses that are difficult to understand and challenging to implement, and uses successful cases such as the Sichuan Ertan Hydropower Project, which successfully applied FIDIC clauses, as typical examples to focus on the following aspects:
1. According to international practices, it provides a comprehensive introduction to how to bid, tender, and evaluate tenders, including their content, requirements, formats, procedures, methods, and techniques, as well as how to manage construction contracts, including the respective responsibilities, rights, and obligations of owners, engineers, and contractors, and the technical, economic, and legal aspects involved in the contracts, along with management methods and operational techniques.
2. It provides comprehensive annotations for each clause of the tendering, bidding, and general clauses, along with examples.
3. For the special clauses, which only include a writing guide in their templates and may be difficult to understand and grasp in practical applications, it combines China's actual conditions and provides specific project examples to draft special clauses corresponding to the clauses that need modification in the general clauses.
4. For some technical and commercial issues that may be involved in project management but are not included in the FIDIC "Construction Contract Clauses," it compiles special clauses, specifically the third chapter of the third part of this book, combining China's actual conditions.
To make it easier for readers to understand and grasp, this book is basically written according to the framework and sequence of FIDIC's tendering and bidding and the 1999 new edition of the "Construction Contract Clauses," which is very helpful for applying FIDIC clauses in project management.
This book is of significant reference value for engineering and technical personnel and managers engaged in project tendering and bidding, contract management, consulting, supervision, design, and construction, as well as professionals in investment, finance, environmental protection, and insurance, and institutions such as accounting firms and law firms. It can also serve as a teaching or reference book for relevant majors in colleges and universities.
