Synopsis:
IPWEA NZ is commencing a new workshop series
later in 2014 to provide Principals, Engineers and Contractors, particularly
those operating in the local government engineering sector, with background
information and training on the use of the new and recently published New
Zealand Standard contracts, NZS 3917 and NZS 3916.
Each workshop is a one day self contained event, so
make sure you book the right one.
It is recommended that attendees should have had
some previous training in construction contracts, such as the IPWEA NZ’s
Engineer’s Representative and Contractor’s Representative workshop, or
practical experience on site with contract management, but these are not
compulsory pre-requisites.
Workshop material and presentations are being
designed by Andrew Brickell, Chief Engineer at MWH New Zealand Ltd, who for
many years has taught contract management for NZS 3910, FIDIC and NEC3
contracts and who served on the Standards NZ committee which prepared the 2013
revisions of NZS 3910, 3917 and 3916.

term services contracts and in design and construct contracts, how to initiate
the procurement of each and appropriate issues to consider during the
management of each contract type. The ways in which 3917 and 3916 address
procurement and management issues will be explored. Guidance will be given on
the other documentation needing to be prepared to invite tenders, respond
to invitations and administer contracts.
