1.11 PARTNERING

In order to most effectively accomplish this contract, the Government urges the contractor to join the Government in establishing a cohesive and professional project management team. Through this "partnering" relationship both entities would strive to draw on the strengths of each organization for the ultimate goal of assuring that the project’s intended results are achieved, within budget and on schedule. This endeavor seeks an environment that nurtures team building, cooperation and trust between the Government and the Contractor. The partnering relationship would be bilateral in make-up, and participation will be totally voluntary.

The first step in initiating the concept would be a joint project management team "partnering" conference attended by multiple officers from each organization representing management and the key jobsite staff of each entity. The initial conference would be held within the first thirty (30) days following contract award. The Resident Engineer would chair the conference, establish its agenda and distribute minutes of the meeting. A professional facilitator acceptable to both parties would lead the participants of the session,through the steps of team building and the formation of a problem solving mechanism within the group. The conference duration would be no more than one day. Location of the conference would be offsite within a 60 mile radius of the jobsite at a facility which offers conference rooms and food service. All costs in connection with rented facilities and the facilitator would be shared equally by the Government and the Contractor. Each organization would pay other costs of its respective employees attending the conference.

Additional partnering sessions would be held no less than biannually.

Implementation of the partnering concept and philosophy would be an on-going process.

1.12 COORDINATION CONFERENCES

Routine coordination conferences will be scheduled by the Contracting Officer throughout the life of this contract. Coordination conferences will be held to discuss contract administration, Contractor quality control, phasing, scheduling, and other aspects relating to this construction.
