4 Procurement Procedure
COMAH shall execute all contractor procurement activities and be responsible for the issuing of
purchase orders, expediting inspection of the purchase orders, including quality aspects and the delivery.
Materials involved are all materials required for the successful completion of the project.
All equipment and materials shall be new, and certified as required in the material specifications,
supplied in the Contract. In selecting a vendor, COMAH shall take into account technical, economic and
financing issues and CLIENT preferred vendor list. In selecting the sources for equipment, materials and
supplies, COMAH shall maximise the utilisation of the Nigerian national resources, when price, quality
and delivery meet the requirements of the Work.
It is understood that COMAH knows and has taken into account all current rules in force in Nigeria
regarding the items which are produced locally and whose import is forbidden and/or is subject to the
payment of extra custom duties.
The procurement activities and responsibilities comprise the issuing of purchase orders, expediting
inspection of the purchase orders, including quality aspects and the delivery. Materials involved are all
additional materials required for the successful completion of the project.
Material Requisitions
Based on project specifications, drawings, CLIENT standard requisition sheets, material requisitions
shall be prepared by the engineering group. These material requisitions will be submitted to CLIENT for
approval, and will be used for material purchase orders.
Dedicated database applications for MTO and material tracking system.
Also for requisition and purchase orders data control form part of the database, with relations, queries
and specific reports.
Updates of the database (reports) may be issued as required, but at least every month as part of the
monthly issue of the progress report.
Tracking of materials and vendor documentation is covered in “queries” with flags, in the database.
COMAH shall be responsible for inspection and testing in the vendor's facility in order to show
conformity to the specifications, drawings and requirements. Inspection and testing shall be in
accordance with a detailed procedure to be developed by COMAH and approved by CLIENT, in the
absence of an existing one.
COMAH shall be responsible for the issuance of the required certification of the equipment based on
national and international rules and regulations. All relations with the concerned authorities to receive the
appropriate certificates shall be arranged by COMAH. All original certificates shall be handed over to
CLIENT after completion of the Project.
If COMAH does not intend to inspect certain items, he shall notify CLIENT for approval. COMAH shall
remain entirely responsible for the item, independent of the witness of the tests.
In addition to COMAH inspection services, CLIENT may appoint, at its own expense, an inspection
agency to act as his representative, for inspection and testing purposes.
COMAH shall inform CLIENT about every test and inspection executed, wherever located. CLIENT has
the right to witness any of these tests against no additional costs.
COMAH shall inform CLIENT about every successfully executed test and consequently the release for
transport to site.
Material Inspection
All 'free issue' materials will be collected from CLIENT, whenever applicable. An inspection will be
executed for visual damage. A record stating the contents and quality will be issued as well as any
damage on materials when received.
The materials will be stored and preserved in an appropriate shelter and in accordance with the
vendor/supplier's specifications. The storage will be permanently secured and protected. Any material
collected to be installed will be recorded. The record is available for the CLIENT for perusal at any
moment of the project 'lifetime'.
The procedure shall ensure the proper handling of equipment and components: -
To control the handling of products and parts from the point of receipt through storage, until they
are sent to the final destination.
To ensure material is moved or handled in a safe manner that prevents damage or deterioration.
To provide secure storage areas to prevent damage or deterioration of product, pending use or
delivery.
To preserve product integrity and product identification through packaging materials.
To ensure that the product is protected after final inspection and test, and where contractually
applicable, to protect the product through delivery to the customer.
COMAH shall assign a material co-ordinator handling all goods through the manufacturing process and
packaging of finished goods prior to shipment.
5 Construction Procedure
COMAH will carry out design where applicable, procurement, expediting/ inspection of procured
materials, fabrication, pipeline coating, site inspection, and all associated activities. This will be in
accordance with the CLIENT requirements, specifications, national and international codes and
standards.
All the personnel including the sub-contractors shall be familiarised with the CLIENT rules and
regulation regarding safety, security, loss prevention and the hazard of the works, a ‘permit-to-work’
(PTW) and a ‘hot-work-permit’ (HWP) system where applicable will be effective.
All work activities shall be duly planned and organised before commencement of the work. Resources,
facilities and materials shall be provided on time to avoid delays or rework. The personnel shall be
qualified for the operations they shall carry out.
The responsibility for the quality and safety of the work is on those managing, supervising, planning the
work and those performing the activities. However, inspection during the fabrication, coating,
dismantling and installation, provides assurance that the required quality is being obtained in accordance
with the specifications and procedures.
After the completion of the various stages of work a ‘mechanical completion’ certificate shall be issued
to CLIENT in order to continue in the next stage of the project.
After the completion of the works, the site will be cleared and cleaned by removal of all temporary
facilities, excess materials, removed materials, surplus materials.
Pre-Mobilisation Inspection
An arrangement shall be made for the pre-mobilisation audit on COMAH’ personnel, plant and
equipment billed for the job, prior to mobilisation. The audit shall cover the HSE programme for the
work, and shall be conducted by quality and safety department. The purpose of such audit is to ascertain
the level of awareness and compliance with HSE requirements enshrined in the contract.
COMAH shall prepare and issue to CLIENT for approval, and shall be checked during the pre-
mobilisation audit, such as: -
Emergency, contingency and MEDEVAC procedure
Work procedure and hazard analysis
Accident reporting procedure
Personnel list and job procedure
Work competency certificates for personnel
Health certificates for personnel
Equipment list and current survey certificates
The audit findings shall be documented and distributed to all action parties for any possible corrective
action.
A follow-up pre-mobilisation audit shall be arranged to ensure that points raised in previous audits have
been complied with. Mobilisation of personnel and equipment to project site shall be made if the audit
team certifies that all pre-mobilisation conditions have been met.
Inspection
COMAH shall execute QC-inspections and audits to verify that the works are in conformance with the
specified requirements. These inspections shall also verify the operational readiness of the Platform
works.
The inspection techniques selected shall be determined by considering the characteristics and parameters
to be measured. The basic criteria for the selection of the inspection techniques and processes are the
requirements of the applicable specifications, codes and standards.
When physical inspection of completed items is impossible, indirect control by monitoring of the
processing methods, equipment and personnel shall be performed. Inspection and process monitoring will
be performed when control is inadequate without both.
Inspections and audits shall be documented by COMAH, using reports, checklists, calibration sheets, etc.
COMAH shall notify the CLIENT, or its representative of every inspection or audit.
6 Acceptance and Close-out
Any non-conformance or punch list item during the project execution need to be corrected to a mutual
satisfaction, before any acceptance protocol and close out can be initiated. The acceptance is established
on a satisfactory performance of the work.
Upon completion and satisfactory performance of the system, an acceptance certificate shall be issued to
CLIENT as a hand-over.
