SCOPE OF WORK DOCUMENT

Rev. Date: 17 Nov 2008

1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of this procedure is to establish the requirements for preparing and issuing a project Scope
of Work Document. The Scope of Work defines the contractual work requirements, either proposed or
contracted, between the Company and the Client.
2.0 DEFINITIONS
2.1 Scope of Work Document
The Scope of Work Document includes a written description of the work, proposed or contracted, to be
performed by the Company for the Client. The document includes a written description of the project,
including a summarization of the physical aspects of the project, a definition of the project battery limits,
a listing of project scope inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, and clarifications. The document also
includes information on the site conditions, division of responsibilities between the Company and Client,
project milestones, list of deliverables, and third party interfaces associated with the work. The Scope of
Work may include drawings, specifications, design criteria, a master schedule, equipment list, instrument
index and other information required to define, as specifically as possible, the work to be accomplished
for a project. The level of detail included in the Scope of Work Document can vary substantially between
specific projects, Clients and Business Units. Once the Company and the Client approve the document,
it will become part of the contract and form the basis for project execution and for changes in the work to
be handled by the Companys Change Control procedure. After the contract is signed, additional detail
may be added to the scope of work document but should always remain compliant with the contract
documents and any approved Change Orders.
2.2 Project Execution Plan (PEP 202)
The Project Execution Plan (PXP) is a document that states the project teams plan for executing the
project in accordance with the project Scope of Work and contractual commitments. It is the working
document governing project execution to be used by project members. Although usually not a contract
document, it must be consistent with such documents. The PXP is comprised of several sections, which
are prepared and maintained throughout the life of the project. The PXP contains, or refers to the Project
Execution Procedures that define how the work will be done and the Project specific procedures that will
be used to plan, supervise and control the work on the project and should define:

What must be accomplished

Who will do the work
Where the work will be done
When contractual obligations are required

The PXP will be the document that defines the detailed execution plans for engineering, procurement,
project controls, project administration, construction, pre-commissioning, quality assurance, safety, and
start-up (as appropriate) to be followed while executing the Scope of Work. It is intended to be a tool for
use by project personnel executing the work on the Project and should be written in such a way as to
provide specific guidance for normal day-to-day work in progress.
2.3 Design Basis Document (PEP 350)
The Design Basis Document establishes the technical criteria and data required to accomplish the design
portion of the Scope of Work. The document provides a definitive project description and the specific
information required by each discipline. The document may be referenced in or attached to the project
contract, scope of work or execution path and must identify the Companys intent.

2.4Issue Authorization and Maintenance for Use

The Project Management Functional Leader is responsible for the maintenance of this procedure and will
review the procedure annually to determine any necessary updates. Should an individual employee

the PEP and send to the Project Management Functional Leader for review. The Project Management
Functional Leader will review the recommended changes and respond back to the employee on plans to
address the suggestions. Changes to the procedure will be distributed to other Corporate Department
Managers and Corporate Functional Leads for their concurrence. When the reviews are complete, the
Project Management Functional Leader will consolidate and recommend changes to this PEP to the Vice
President, Project Operations who has the authority to issue revisions to this PEP.
