The contractor Engineer shall ensure that such repairs/replace is carried out expeditiously and the System/Sub-system/components are brought back to OGT / PLQP for functioning at the earliest under Spare Part Management condition. The time taken for replacing such parts& spares from the time the System/Sub-system/ Components have failed till its restoration shall be considered breakdown/repair time for the purpose of calculating system availability.
6.2
6.3
6.3.1 If any System/Sub-system/Components are beyond repair, due to normal operation faults, contractor is not responsible for the same, GSPC shall decide for the replacement of the same. However to arrive at such a decision, the contractor shall submit the detailed failure report / route cause analysis along with their findings and recommendations to GSPC for consideration. Upon acceptance of such failure report, the failed System/Subsystem/Components shall not be considered for calculating system availability. 6.3.2 Decision of GSPC Maintenance Manager for all types of repair/replacement/ system availability as brought out in above clauses shall be final and binding upon the contractor 7.0 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PERFORMANCE
7.1 The DCS& ESD PLC Systems of the Onshore/Offshore are very critical for satisfactory and uninterrupted operations. Therefore these are to be operated and maintained with the best engineering practices and skills. The contractor has to maintain these with their accomplished professionalism in such a way that the System/Sub-system/Components availability is maintained as per the best industry practices. Performance evaluation will be done as per below clauses. 7.2 Recovery due to poor performance of Equipment availability
Page 82 of 118
The contractor shall prepare and plan the maintenance activities for all the System/Sub system/componentscovered under the contract and prepare a daily task list. This list shall be made in accordance with the Operation Manuals of the system and in consultation and with approval of GSPC Maintenance Manager. The equipment will be identified and listed with all its accessories. The decision of GSPC Engineer In-charge in finalizing the task list shall be final and binding on the contractor. The contractor shall perform all the tasks with desired quality and within the time period as specified in the task list. If contractor feels that for any System/Sub-system/Components the reasons for performing maintenance are not attributable to the contractor, they can represent it to GSPC Maintenance Manager in writing stating the reasons of achieving less performance of maintenance. However, the decision of GSPC Maintenance Manager for the attribution of the cause(s) for poor performance of either YIL or to any other party would be final and binding on the contractor. If monthly DCS & PLC System availability of OGT & PLQP is less than 98%, for the reasons attributable to contractor, the percentage difference of 98 minus actual total DCS & PLC System availability will be calculated. A recovery of 0.5 times the percentage difference shall be made from the monthly invoice. The contractor would finalize the list of all critical and all non-critical System after award of job and would obtain approval from GSPC for following the same for entire contract period. However, based up on experience and criticality of the operations, GSPC may add any System from noncritical list to critical list or vice versa or can also add any equipment in the lists if got added in the plant during the contract period due to operational need. Weightage for criticality of every equipment/s in order to calculate Total equipment availability will be proposed by contractor after award of contract and approved by GSPC. Formula for Total System/Equipment Availability (T): System/Equipment availability: Total Equipment/Control System Availability (T) = 0.6 X Critical Equipment Availability (Tc) + 0.4 x Non-Critical Equipment Availability (Tnc)
= {(Total System/Equipment available hours-Total Equipment/System Non-Available Time)} X100 Total Equipment/System available hours. or
as applicable. Critical Equipment Availability (Tc) = Average equipment availability of all the critical equipment/System at OGT falling within the scope of work of this tender.
Page 83 of 118
Non critical Equipment Availability (Tnc) = Average equipment availability of all the noncritical equipment at OGT falling within the scope of work of this tender. Critical equipment = Critical equipment includes all the equipment whose smooth operation is critical for running the operations wherein enough redundancy and fail-safe options are not provided for the availability for running of those equipment which may affect the production. Non-critical equipment = Non critical equipment includes all the equipment whose operation is not critical for running the operations wherein enough redundancy and fail-safe options are provided for the availability for running of those equipment. If contractor feels that for any breakdown of any equipment the reasons of that breakdown are not attributable, they can represent it to GSPC Maintenance Manager in writing stating the cause of the breakdown and attribution of that breakdown. However, the decision of GSPC Maintenance Manager for the attribution of the cause(s) of breakdown either to contractor or to any other party would be final and binding on the contractor. 8.0 PERIODICITY OF MAINTENANCE Maintenance tasks to be performed and their periodicity in general, for all System/Sub system/components, shall be as per the guidelines/recommendations of the contractor /GSPC. However periodicity may be altered as per the experience, in consultation with Maintenance Manager GSPC. For the satisfactory performance of the System/Subsystem/components, based on their condition, the contractor may have to carry out any other maintenance tasks not listed specifically under the contract/recommendations of OEM, if required, in consultation with Maintenance Manager. 9.0 GSPC'S REPRESENTATIVE FOR INSPECTING THE WORK 9.1 GSPC shall be entitled to designate a representative or representatives who shall at all the time have complete access for the purpose of observing or inspecting the system maintenance work performed by the contractor Engineers in order to judge whether the contractor is complying with the provisions of the Contract.
