PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The object of this document is to describe CONTRACTOR´s minimum quality requirements
for SUBCONTRACTOR´s Quality System, which shall be implemented and fulfilled during
fabrication, construction, pre-commissioning activities and services by the scope of work
defined in the Subcontract of RIYAS NGL FRACTIONATION FACILITIES PKG. 1 & PKG. 2.
Compliance with the requirements stated in this procedure does not exclude the
SUBCONTRACTOR’s compliance with the COMPANY Standards applicable to the WORK,
and with the rest of the requirements contained in the Subcontract or in some of its annexes
or attachments.
If a conflict arises between or within any of:
•
this procedure, or any CONTRACTOR Procedures or Plans;
• COMPANY Standards applicable to the WORK;
•
the Subcontract, or in some of its annexes or attachments,
The SUBCONTRACTOR shall promptly notify and
request

Representative in writing for resolution within thirty (30) days from the Subcontract effective
date.
In respect of any conflict discovered and notified by SUBCONTRACTOR more than thirty
(30) days after the Subcontract effective date, the CONTRACTOR Representative shall be
entitled to issue an instruction to SUBCONTRACTOR to implement a resolution to the
conflict. SUBCONTRACTOR shall comply with all instructions given by the CONTRACTOR
Representative without by reason of such instruction, becoming entitled to any extension of
time, any Change, any additional payment or any other relief.
The SUBCONTRACTOR will compile all conflicts sent in a log, each conflict will have a
unique number, and the log must reflect the individual conflict status (Unique number,
description, date sent, replied, status, comments…etc.) and also the general conflict status
as % and number clarified against % and number pending to clarify. The log form has to be
prepared by SUBCONTRACTOR and send in advance for approval to the CONTRACTOR
before to start or use it.
This Q.R.F.S. document neither abrogates nor modifies the contractual agreements between
the parties but provides the mechanism for carrying out the normal working relationship
between the parties during the Project execution.
