Contractor ManagementCurrent State Phase - Findings
No standard processes for planning and monitoring contracted work; everyone has their own way of going about it.
Without defined processes, expectations and responsibilities are not always clear.
Lack of planning increases risks and often creates need for excessive firefighting.
KUC’s Contractor Management System recognized a “scope-of-work” underpins success of any contracted work. However, it did not define a process, clear expectations, nor provide for compiling a quality scope.
There were significant redundancies and confusion between the SHEA, Pre-job, & other safety planning tools. All reference the Scope of Work and were often not relevant to the work being performed.
It was not always clear to the contractors when to escalate issues, or even who to contact.

Contractor ManagementFuture State Design Considerations
Tactical:
Design “small job” work scoping and planning process
Select One Best Way for Project Definition and Planning
Design Perfect Shift process for shift start-up/hand-off
Design Issue Escalation and Resolution process for work execution
Sustainability:
Determine Optimal Organization Structure and appropriate job profiles
Design Process Measurement and Management process

Results Achieved through process Improvement
Improved cost performance At the conclusion of repair project, a contractor asked for additional fees. A
review of the Issue Escalation Tracking Form revealed no concerns, issues or problems that required additional work were raised at any time during the project.
Savings = $75,000
A contractor removed an agreed-upon volume of material from the east pond at KUC. This dredging project took more time than expected leading to a request for additional funds. A review of the Initial Scoping Worksheet revealed an agreement on volume – not time.
Savings = $75,000
A dispute arose regarding damages and delays associated with a slag bunker project. A review of the Issue Escalation Tracking Form provided factual details on weather and production delays, showing 50% fewer delays than claimed by the contractor.
Savings to = $30,000
