Estimates are one project in which, over a short period of time, submit the necessary deliverables by the due date, while making multifaceted
considerations and major decisions, and win the bid after tough negotiations. As with 0-JOB, keep abreast of what kind of partner, what, where,
and what constraints, environments, and risks to consider, grasp the sense of scale, difficulty, and accounting of the entire proposal work, and link

and environment of the estimation work
Naturally, there will be a variety of information in short supply. Consider how to collect within a limited time period depending on the degree of
importance.

1. "Five W's"
□ Who? (Client Characteristics)
Example: Nature, Technological Capabilities, and Management Capabilities
Example: Attitude toward contractors

□ What?
Example: Outline of equipment (size, complexity, technical difficulty, percentage of specialty materials (material and rating))
Example: Responding to matters that clients' real expectations and concerns
Example: Content and volume of proposal document required by ITT

□ Where?
Example: Situation of construction site (climate, politics, security, health, infrastructure (lifestyle, industry, communications), access to
site, import restrictions (people, goods))
Example: 0-JOB Operations Centre
Example: Proposal work Operations Centre

□ By ? (surface deadlines and substantial estimation deadlines)


Example: Delivery Time
Example: Deadline for submission of proposals

□ Under what constraints, the environment, and risks?


□ Client's circumstances (ITT requirements)
Example: Rely on Information, Estimation Basis, Reference, Schedule of Changes and Additions
Example: Completion level of Basic Design Information (P&ID, Plot Plan, Data Sheet, etc.)
Example: Completion level of Detailed Design Information (layout of pipes, structures, etc.)

□ Bidder's own survey or validation requirements


Example: Survey of existing condition or additional soil investigation, etc.

□ Special requirements
Example: Verification, Value Engineering, Option Study at bidding stage
Example: Local Content and Community Contribution

□ Circumstances on our side


Example: Collaborative relationships with other companies and group companies
Example: Availability of internal and group company resources (human resources, technology, knowledge, experience)

□ External circumstances
Example: International Politics (Economic Sanctions and Trade Regulations)
Examples: Markets (materials, equipment, labor, and foreign exchange)

Attachment 7 (informative) Proposal Work Execution Matrix (1.Project Profiling)

2. Measures for future information gathering (constraints, environment, collaboration partners)


Example: Quality, quantity, freshness, and reliability of information on hand
Example: the impact of deficient information on main policies and the proposal work
Example: Desired timing and deadline
Example: Information gathering channels and methods

Regardless of market conditions, competition, and other factors, the basic stance of the Project Team is to pursue the lowest possible cost and the
shortest delivery time. The benefits of the environment are inherently the company's share. However, without knowing that the environment will last
for a long time, there is a tendency for the axis of the basic stance to fluctuate. When the environment changes dramatically, this fluctuation in the
Return Understanding environmental changes and directing proposal work axis is a major factor that causes "loss of profit" and "loss of bid." Focus on the environment from the past few years to the present, and when
changes are recognized, make calibrating the axis of the person in charge (including yourself) one of the important issues for directing proposal
work.

Needless to say, commercially relevant information is very important for the Proposal Manager.
As for documents, there is "Proposal Strategy Part I", but it is often not possible to document, so to hear sufficiently from sales person in charge.
Of the Commercial Policies, participate in policy making, particularly with respect to contract provisions, and lead the discussion from a practical
point of view (because the lowest cost, most effective risk measure is obtaining favourable contract terms at any time). Leave it to professionals in
Return Understanding of Commercial Related Information and Policies sales and contract for other areas not related to EPC execution matters. However, understand the location of the problem and the policy for
responding to it.
External stakeholders may also be involved in commercial activities. Confirm what people and organizations are doing and have communication
with critical stakeholders via sales channel. It will be able to provide a clue to solving some problems in the future.

1. Commercial information
□ Client Information
Example: The point where emphasis is placed on the selection of contractors
Example: Contractor Selection Process
Example: Budget Information
Example: Client substantial decision makers (especially for SPCs)
Example: Persons who have Job experience with JGC

□ Background of the project


Example: Political factors, relationships with raw material and product suppliers, relationships with other projects, and background of
budget and delivery time

□ Background to the bidding


Example: The movement prior to invitation to JGC, the intention to invite JGC and the expectation to JGC

□ Competitive environment
Example: Positioning of competitors' management strategies and significance of tackling projects
Example: Competitor Strengths and Weaknesses
(Political strength, client relationships and channel breadth, experience record, technological capabilities, surplus capacity, group
companies, etc.)

Attachment 7 (informative) Proposal Work Execution Matrix (1.Project Profiling)

□ Reasons and Background for Selection of Collaboration Companies


Example: Motivation for collaboration (improvement of competitive environment, utilization of competitors' strengths, risk
diversification, etc.)
Example: Reasons for being a company rather than another company
Example: Prior agreements and their degree of restraining and the history

□ Contract conditions closely related to project execution


Example: Guarantee/ Warranty Items, Warranty Period, Scope of Responsibility
Example: L/D and Bonus
Example: Change Order and EOT (Extension of Time) conditions
Example: Payment Terms (Currency, Evidence, Retention)
Example: Relation with scope when multiple payment conditions (L/S, Provisional Sum, Reimbursable, BQ Remeasure, etc.) are exist
Example: Treatment of inconsistencies between contract documents and order of precedence (both at the time of estimation and at
the time of 0-JOB)
Example: Confidentiality

□ Main commercial stakeholders and their roles


Example: Trading companies, banks, law firms, accounting firms, agents, liaison offices

□ Other commercial activities required at the estimation stage


Example: Bid bond , tax research, corporate registration of JVs, etc., and financing arrangements

2. Commercial policies
□ Policy on changes to the terms and conditions of the contract
Example: Anticipated scale of damage and probability
Example: Acceptable changes in the past
Example: Effect of the proposed change from the practical point of view
Example: Maximum demand, compromise line, non-concessional line, trade-off or alternate proposal
Example: Future Negotiation Steps and Schedules

□ Measures for collecting information in the future (related to clients and competitors)
Example: Quality, quantity, freshness, and reliability of information on hand
Example: Impact of shortage information on main strategies
Example: Desired timing and deadline
Example: Information gathering channels and methods

□ Pricing (if deviating from ITT requirement)


Example: "Base Case only", "Base Case + Alternative" or "Alternative only"

□ Other Policies
Example: Insurance special conditions, tax exemption measures (tax savings and refunds), and reductions in various commercial-
related costs
Example: Finance Scheme (if the contractor arranges)
Example: Forward exchange contracts and fund management in JV projects

In order to create a winning proposal, it is first of all necessary to know the client and get the client to know JGC. Only the Proposal Manager can

Nevertheless, give priority to requesting the appointment of PMT members and those involved in the upfront work, and start the work as soon as
possible.
For those appointed by each department, check the personnel specs and, if necessary, confirm the support by the departments.

It should be kept in mind that for key members, the person to whom the authority of proxy is delegated when they are absent from business trips,
etc., and the scope of such delegation shall be determined.

1. Building a Proposal Team


□ Request for Appointment of Person in Charge
Example: Identify required upfront works (review of General Spec, Basic Design related tasks)
Example: Key Positions of particular importance due to the nature of the project
Example: Planning a briefing for division/department managers for the purpose of requesting personnel selection (before the Kick-off
Meeting)
Example: Requesting support from chief engineers and other internal experts
Example: Identifying the competence and career of key members and confirming the support by the departments

□ Organizational design of the Proposal Team


Example: Emphasizes agility (compact, flat, delegation in the case of absent)
Example: Shift to a 0-JOB execution formation (in the case of award)
Example: Consider PJE's career path

□ Job descriptions for key positions


Example: Personnel from other companies in collaboration and those who have major contact with them
Example: Foreign nationals and persons who have major contact with them
Example: Persons in charge of special requirements

2. Building an operating base


□ Arrangement of support personnel
Example: Administrator Personnel
Example: Project IT Personnel
Example: English native check personnel

□ Development of various infrastructures


Example: Office space, furniture and fixtures
Example: Basic IT Infrastructure (V-Drive, groupware)
Example: Communication Systems (clients, vendors, collaboration partners, other companies, internal)
(Correspondence system, J-PLUS, video conferencing system)
Example: Document Management System (JDMS, ITT Data Base)

Schedule control of the estimate work is more hard than 0-JOB. Well discuss with key persons and issue before the Kick-off Meeting.
Costs for the proposal work are charged to the 0-JOB after award in JGC case. Also pay attention to whether there is a common understanding
and how much mutual accountability is pursued with regard to costs when there are other companies in collaboration.

1. Common
□ Consistency with Part II
□ Selection of coordination, tracking, expediting, and alert

2. Schedule
Return Preparation of schedule and budget for proposal works
□ Final filing date of each Proposal Document
□ Timing and objectives of issuing major information (estimation design information, BM/BQ, schedule, MH, costs, etc.)
□ Timing of various project reviews
□ Others
Example: Expected date of receipt of ITT to be added or amendment
Example: Timing and purpose of issuing information exchanged between other companies in the collaboration
Example: Joint review with other companies in collaboration and the timing of the event
Example: Milestones (if any) for phase control of milestones for miscellaneous estimation works

3. Budget
Example: Differences in the work content of other estimation projects referred to (e.g. including Pre-Award Work or not, degree of ITTs'
amend, etc.)
Example: Evaluating the validity of the results of hearings from persons in charge and setting targets
Example: Necessity of JOB CODE users restriction
Example: Alignment with the latest internal organizational structure

4. Review of schedule and budgets with key persons


□ PMT members
□ Main Discipline KP
□ Collaboration other companies (only if budget needs)

While the scope of work in proposal work with other companies in collaboration and group companies should essentially be consistent with that of
0-JOB, there may be a gap or overlap due to the objectives of "award the project" and various reasons (which may be required). In addition,
arrangements for work specific to the proposal stage are also required.
As with 0-JOB execution, there are many high-level coordination and commercial arrangements, so don't forget to review them together with
project sponsor and sales person in charge. At the time of consideration, keep the execution formation (JV, Consortium, etc.) between each
company in mind at all times.
Even JGC only case, it is very difficult to overcome commercial, executive, and technical issues, collaborative efforts with other companies and
group companies will be much more difficult in the extent of such concerns (the more collaboration companies increases, the more difficult). If the
Proposal Manager fails to function, there will be disruption. Therefore, carefully consider how to proceed with the work and the formation. First,

After submitting proposals, the three main tasks are "negotiation," "preparing for launch," and "carrying out Pre-Award tasks." When "negotiations"
are likely to be spanned in remote areas, move the remaining two in advance to create a mechanism for synergizing with negotiation status.
When negotiations lengthen, persons in charge are assigned to other JOBs, and they may not be able to expect to move flexibly as they did when
they were exclusive. Consider the roles expected of each staff member in the future, and the timing of major moves in the future, and make
appropriate adjustments with the departments.

Return Adjustment of proposal work formation □ Negotiations and its back-up formation
□ Start-up preparedness
□ Pre-Award works preparedness

□ Synchronization of negotiation status, start-up preparations, and Pre-Award works

Attachment 7 (informative) Proposal Work Execution Matrix (3.Proposal Strategy)

Contract awards are the lifeline of the company, so there is naturally a policy at the company level. When the responsibility of the Proposal
Manager is referred to as the strategy, it is a high level policy. In addition to hearing thoroughly from senior management and sales in charge,
participate in discussions to the extent permitted, express opinions necessary as professionals of practical work, deepen mutual understanding,
and discuss their wisdom with other representatives as a business person.
Examples of policies that would correspond to this level were listed in section 2. However, depending on the individual case and case, it will be
difficult to draw a line between what is appropriate for proposal management and whether it is responsible for company management or proposal
Return Understanding of top management policies
management. Regarding them, confirm which one is the "decision maker."
While this is not limited to this level of policy, usually there is no sufficient information to set policies, and must make decisions based on certain
assumptions. At a later date, in order to minimize the confusion to the proposal work caused by a change in policy due to unexpected mis-
assumptions, some key members understand the points of high uncertainty and their background (of course, depending on the confidentiality). In
addition, draw a blueprint of how to steer what is possible, and take care to the extent that it is possible, although there may be limitations.

1. Realization of company management policies and plans through projects


Example: Utilizing group companies
Example: Collaboration with specific companies with an eye on the future
Example: Normal + special purposes and targets

2. Policy for building a competitive advantage


Example: Adding other companies in collaboration
Example: Retaining vendors and subcontractors, etc.
Example: Dealing on the Contractor Selection Process
Example: Improve competitiveness in non-EPC aspects (finance arrangements, etc.)

3. Policies related to improving the award environment


Example: Building communication channel
Example: Involvement of third parties (trading companies, agents, etc.)
Example: Response to client intentions (selection of specific vendors, etc.) that are not explicitly stated

4. Policies for harsh conditions and expectations


Example: Unfeasible client budget
Example: Infeasible delivery requirement
Example: Extending the closing date
Example: Verification requirements at proposal stage

5. Policies related to significant risks


Example: External risk (country risk, market risk, political risk, etc.)
Example: Risks inherent in clients (client posture, nature, credit, significant contract risks, etc.)
Example: Risks inherent in JGC (execution formation risk, JGC group capacity, etc.)
Example: Technology risk (less experience processes and materials, large-scale construction technologies, etc.)
Example: Ensuring the safety of operations in dangerous areas

6. Policies related to collaborative other companies


Example: Leader or follower and response stance
Example: Absorbing knowledge from the other party
Example: Policy on information disclosure to partner companies
(Confidentiality agreements with third parties, loss of know-how, and the possibility of information leaks from other companies in
collaboration)

7. Policies for internal and group company resources used for proposal works
Example: Degree of energy conservation estimate
Example: Promoting and controlling the use of specific group companies

There are two purposes for proposal work.


①To award the project
Return Reconfirmation of the purpose ②To ensure that the project can be completed while securing and improving gross profit after award
Focus on how to achieve the two objectives, which tend to conflict with each other.

Part II is the most important documents prepared by the Proposal Manager. It can be said to be the Constitution within the Proposal Team. In other
words, it will clarify the critical basic strategies for achieving the purposes of proposal work, namely "award the project" and "securing and
improving gross profit to ensure the completion of the projects," after taking a bird's-eye view of all work areas.
The Proposal Manager first prepare a first draft and gather a small number of key persons including Project Sponsor to work out to brush up the
draft while mobilizing all wisdom and knowledge.
"While it is natural that ""quality"" is crucial for Part II, it is also needed to issue it as soon as possible." Any matters that are difficult to hold down at
the time of the initial issuance should be stated to the extent known or to be clarified in the future and revised accordingly.
The draft Part II is reviewed by the Proposal Strategy Meeting, and the outcome of the discussions is reflected and formally issued after final
approval by the general manager of PMT division.

Of the main issues in simulating the execution of 0-JOB (EPC execution) in the future, the following three points will be examined with particular
care.

1. Level 1 Numerical Targets (Numerical Targets for the Entire Project)


Targets set for overall project costs and delivery times are areas where requests from both "award the project" and "possible execution plan" are
conflicted. While there are concerns about serious defects stemming from strict target setting, it is also true that there are some lines that must be
cleared in order to award the project. The problem is not the appropriateness of setting targets themselves, but the appropriateness of the basis for
calculating target values. Then determine whether to set numerical targets or proceed on a best efforts basis. It's not easy, but here is where

2. Level 1 Strategic Objectives (critical task for project execution to be considered by the entire Proposal Team)
Identify key 0-JOB execution imperatives, such as key risks and cost/schedule sensitive issues. This is essential information not only for Proposal
Team but also for all divisions and departments to make future studies more efficient and effective.

3.Level 1 Execution Strategy (How to capture the above targets)


Present the strategy for capturing Level 1 numerical targets and Level 1 strategic targets (= "how") and guide the Proposal Team. It is the core of
the Proposal Manager's duty.

Strategy is also said to involve placing battles. To put it plainly, it means deciding "when", "where", "who", "with whom" and "with how much fighting
power" to fight. The formulation of the formation is to determine who is and with whom of these will be. As it is one of the important issues that form
a part of our execution strategy, take care of it.
Collaboration with other companies involves organizational issues such as how to manage and define project management itself, such as how to
Return EPC execution formation with other companies in collaboration
address differences in the role and responsibility of corporate and project management between companies, and how to work in relation to
commercial-related operations between the project team and the permanent department. keep in close contact with the Project Sponsor and the
sales person in charge regarding each and each other's actions.

The following is a comprehensive list of points to be taken into account in building formation with other companies in collaboration and group
companies. Before being appointed as a Proposal Manager, it is normal for each company to have already been talking to a certain extent. Use
this as a reference when identifying the history up to the present time and picking up the extent to which be finalized in the future.

2.3 Other areas and matters that have a significant impact on costs and processes

The 0-JOB organization varies depending on a variety of factors, including the characteristics of clients and countries, as well as the size, scope,
schedule, and form of execution and contract. This organizational design is directly linked to the project management MH. The cost ratio is not
large, but it is a disadvantageous area in terms of unit price, so take another step in hard bidding. The same applies when there are concerns
about the supply of internal resources.
Return EPC organization and execution plan In the case of amalgamated collaborations with other companies, major positions and functions within the execution organization tend to be
missing or doubled due to differences in the thinking of organizational management and other factors. Review the job descriptions for key positions
and the scope interfaces between the functions, and adjust them to eliminate omissions and minimize doubling. Then, finalize the details of how
many people will be allocated by which company to each position and function.

No matter how much strategies set in Part II & III, if they are not backed up with EPC execution materialization measures, those are just a writing.
First consider how to set Level 2 targets and strategies for Level 1 targets and strategies. In addition, take a look at how the tactics that realize
these goals and strategies have come to fruition.

entire (at least once before the Mid-point Review Meeting) while keeping a close eye on the time and range at which the strategies can be revised.
If, after the Mid-point Review Meeting, adjustments or changes at the key policy level are deemed necessary, hold a review meeting again as
appropriate (or, in some cases, request to hold the High Level Proposal Strategy Meeting).

Important matters in the proposal work include the following two points.
①Matters relating to the handling of Alternative, Clarification, Conditioning, Deviation
②Matters related to the proposal work, such as the estimation engineering, inquiries, and the selection of estimation methods

As for ① in principle, work to minimize risks by firm studies. However, since there is also an aspect that is invisible to clients and competitors, it is
sometimes not possible to say that it is a straight-forward. In some cases, there will be a need for political action such as a pre-coordination in

work
② is the task of creating the original base for 0-JOB execution simulation, so what to do is directly linked to the accuracy of the simulation (=
estimation accuracy). When each department is considering a work plan for these matters, indicate the strategies to be followed. In preparation of
strategies, carefully take into account the period of time and resources that can be used, as well as the account of gains and losses from looking
ahead even after award.

3.5 Other
Example: Previous JOB for reference

5-JOB and 0-JOB basically have the same points for WBS work framing. The part that does not need to be as precise as 0-JOB is also simplified,
but if it does, it may become impossible to use the various 5-JOB data (BM/ BQ/MH, etc.) at the start-up stage of 0-JOB.

If there are other companies in collaboration, what to do with WBS is a problem. Do not forget the arrangements based on each other's differences
in WBS and their degree (structure, aggregation unit, measurement method, etc.), how to use mutually exchanged data, etc.
Formulation and check of WBS, procedures, and forms for
Return
estimation work
Do not forget to pay attention to various blank forms and work procedures (especially when client requirements and collaboration companies
cannot use them as they are). Lack of arrangement will cause time loss and re-work work and if the basis of the numerical data (e.g., BM/BQ/MH)
handled or the minimum aggregation units are disrupted, it can be big trouble. In addition, the classification and handling of the net, allowances,
and contingency tend to be confused even within the company, but this is particularly true of other companies with which we collaborate.

Attachment 7 (informative) Proposal Work Execution Matrix (7.Proposal Reviews)

The basic flow and major review of the entire work in the estimation stage are shown in Attachment 2 in this JGS.
Reviews are broadly divided into those at the division level and those at the project team/ department level. The former position is governance by
the division management to the project team/ department, and the latter position is governance within the project team/ department.
Return Flow of major internal reviews
These will be adjusted according to the characteristics of the project, but in the case of JV/Consortium projects, in addition to internal JGC reviews,
there is usually an increase in reviews among JV/Consortium partners. With JV/Consortium partner, determine in advance what members and
what timing to make them.

The main purposes of the Division Midpoint Review Meeting are the following two points.
①Do not have any material discussions or surprises at the Division Final Review Meeting
②Ensure phase control of proposal works

Therefore, there is no limit on the number of meetings held. Obviously, report on cost formation trends and what is known to be subject to review
Return Division Midpoint Review Meeting should be made known in advance to the relevant persons. When including change of major policies, pay attention to the timing of the meeting so
as not to miss the timing at which the change of direction can be made.

Review participants are stipulated in the Attachment 7 of this JGS, but depending on the subject of the review, consult with Project Sponsor if
additional participant is required.

1. Subject to review
□ Report on cost formation trends and future outlook
□ Reporting and check of strategies that had not been completed at Part II issue stage
□ Changes in strategies determined by Part II
□ Response to situations that require confirmation and judgment by Top Management

2. Incidental reporting items


Example: Result of detailed ITT and FEED reviews
Example: Relationships with the client and clarification status
Example: Relationships with collaboration companies
Example: Progress of work and future focus areas and schedules
Example: Status and results of other major action items

The main purposes of the Schedule Review Meeting are the following three points.
①Confirm that the project execution strategy over the time horizon is reasonable and feasible.
②Identification of measures for further schedule mitigation and confirmation of necessary support
Return Schedule Review Meeting ③Confirmation of reasonable delivery time when achievement of target delivery time is expected to be difficult

The timing of the meeting is determined by the Proposal Manager, but should be determined by considering the solidification of the schedule and
the availability of time to reflect the review results in the Proposal.

②Seeking out of risk items that have not been found
③Finding countermeasure proposals and support required
Return Risk Review Meeting
This review should be held at not too early or not too late. At an early stage when a major uncertainty remains or a policy for major contract risks
has not yet been established, project level risk considerations often lack the basis for consideration. On the other hand, if waiting for all to be
clearly confirmed, there may be no time for the review results to be reflected in the proposal. Carefully decide when to hold the review meeting.

1. Preparations
□ Risk review within the Proposal Team
□ Notification to the review participants desired by PM
□ Send documents in advance to understand the outline of the project (do not explain the project outline at the review)
