The new FIDIC DBO contract
The Design-Build-Operate (DBO) approach to contracting combines design, construction and long-term operation and maintenance of a facility into one single contract awarded to a single contractor (who will usually be a joint venture or consortium representing all the skills called for in a DBO arrangement).

The format of a DBO arrangement can be based on either a "green-field" scenario (D-B-O), or on a "brown-field" scenario (O-D-B). Either is quite common. However, the contractual requirements and procedures are quite different. 

FIDIC has chosen to produce a document based on the DBO green-field scenario, with a Guide containing guidelines on the changes necessary to cover a brown-field arrangement. 

The FIDIC New DBO Contract Seminars will provide consultants and clients with in-depth knowledge of the new document and on how to use it in their organisations.  

Presentations are made by internationally-recognised industry leaders.
Programme
The Seminars will focus on the new FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Design, Build and Operate Projects (FIDIC DBO Contract) and will focus on the four main themes which are of practical relevance to firms and related professionals, namely:
  • The Design-Build Period
  • The Operation Service Period
  • The Key Issues in the DBO Contract
    • Payment
    • Risks and Insurance
    • Handling Disputes
    • Particular Conditions
The seminars give a general introduction to the DBO Contract as well as a clause-by-clause discussion of key aspects. Several question and answer sessions will allow an interaction with the participants.
