Scope of FEED is an advanced starting of engineering development; it includes the BEDP and activities to select the EPC contractor, Material Requisitions for Long Lead Items, Cost Estimation @ 10% accuracy.
Advantages:
- Reduce the overall schedule by about 6-8 months due to the overlapping activities with PDP and MR for LLI & relevant technical alignment (ready for PO)
- Profit generation due to amount of manhours
- Give to LICENSEE the services needed to select the EPC Contractor
- ITB
- EPC bid tendering and evaluation
- Accurate Cost estimate to challenge the EPC bids
- Support to EPC contractor during project implementation
These services are usually provided by PMC contractors (not always well qualified) at very expensive cost
Typical FEED main deliverables:
- Deliverable as per BEDP
- RAMS study
- QRA and HAZOP
- ITB for EPC contractors selection
- +/-15 % Cost estimate
- Major piping layout for large bore lines and process critical lines
- Civil: MTO, quantities and prices list
- Piping MTO (covering 60% of the final MTO)
- Electrical and Instrumentation MTO
- Material requisitions and Technical bid tabulation for Long Lead Items
