If the price for the contract is relatively small (say under US$ 500,000) or the construction time is short(say less than 6 months), or the work involved is relatively simple or repetitive (dredging work might be a good example), then consider using the Short Form of Contract, irrespective of whether the design is provided by the Employer or the Contractor,and of whether the project involves construction,electrical,mechanical,or other engineering work.

如果合同价格较小（例如50万美金以下），或工期较短（例如小于6个月），或涉及的工作相对简单或是重复性的（疏浚工程可能是个好例子），则无论

设计是由雇主还是承包商提供，也无论项目是否包含构筑物、电气、机械或其他工程，考虑使用简明合同格式。

For the larger or more complex projects,decision could be made by checking the following six questions.

对于较大或较复杂的项目，可以通过核对下述六个问题做出决定：

1.Is the Employer (or the Engineer) going to do most of the design?

雇主（或工程师）是否要做大部分设计？

—As in traditional projects (e.g.,infrastructure,buildings,hydro-power,etc.),the Employer did nearly all the design (perhaps not construction details,reinforcement,etc),

如在传统项目中（例如基础设施、建筑、水电站等），雇主承担几乎所有设计（也许不包括施工详图，配筋图等）；

—and the Engineer administered the Contract,monitored the construction work and certified payment，

并由工程师管理合同、监督施工、签证付款；

—and the Employer was kept fully informed, could make variations, etc.，

并且雇主随时充分了解情况，能作出变更等；

—And with payment according to bills of quantities or lump sums for approved work done.

并按工程量清单或已批准的完工总额付款。

If this is what is wanted,choose CONS.

如果要求是这样，选择CONS《施工合同条件》。

2.Is the Contractor going to do most of the design?

承包商是否要做大部分设计？

—As in traditional projects (e.g.,electrical and mechanical works,including erection on site), the Contractor did the majority of the design (e.g., the detail design of the plant or equipment), so that the plant met the outline or performance specification prepared by the Employer ,

如在传统项目中（例如电气和机械工程，包括现场安装），承包商承担大部分设计（如工厂和装备的详细设计），使工厂满足雇主编制的纲要或性能说明；

—and in design-build and turnkey-type projects,the Contractor also did the majority of the design (not only of plant projects,but also of various infrastructure and other types of projects), and the project was required to fulfill an outline or performance specification prepared by the Employer.

在设计-施工和交钥匙项目中，承包商也承担大部分设计（不仅是工厂项目，也包括基础设施和其他类型的项目），并要求项目符合雇主编制的纲要或性能说明；

—and the Engineer(or Employer’s representative) administered the Contract,monitored the manufacture and erection on site or construction work and certified payment;

并由工程师(或雇主代表）管理合同、监督设备制造与现场安装或施工工作，签证付款；

—and with payment according to achieved milestones generally on a lump sum basis.

付款方式依照实际完成的工程里程碑，一般按总额支付。

If this is what is wanted,choose P&DB.

如果要求是这样，选择P&DB《生产设备和设计-施工合同条件》。

3.Is it a Privately Financed (or Public/Private Financed) Project, of theBuild-Operate-Transfer or similar type, where the Concessionaire takes total responsibility for the financing, construction and operation of the Project?

项目是否由私人融资（或公/私融资），采用建造-运营-移交或类似形式，由特许权所有者承担项目融资、建造、运行的全部职责？

—Then the Concessionaire(the “Employer”) probably requires to have a contract with the construction Contractor,i.e.,an EPC(Engineer,Procure,Construct) Contract, where the Contractor takes total responsibility for the design and construction of the infrastructure or other facility, and where there is a higher degree of certainty that the agreed contract price and time will not be exceeded,

那么，特许权所有者（“雇主”）也许需要与建设承包商签订一合同，规定承包商承担基础设施或其他设施的设计和施工的全部职责，并且对不超过协议的合同价格与工期有更大程度的确定性;

—and the Employer does not wish to be involved in the day-to-day progress of the work, provided the end result meets the performance criteria he has specified,

只要最终结果满足雇主规定的性能标准，雇主不希望介入工作的日常进展;

—and the Parties concerned (e.g.,sponsors,lenders and the Employer) are willing to see the Contractor paid more for the construction of the Project in return for the  Contractor bearing the extra risks associated with enhanced certainty of final price and time.

相关各方（如：发起人、贷款人和雇主）愿意为项目建设支付更多给承包商，作为承包商为提高最终价格和工期的确定性而承担额外风险的回报。

If this is what is wanted,choose EPCT.

如果要求是这样，选择EPCT《设计采购施工（EPC)/交钥匙工程合同条件》。

4.Is it a Process Plant or a Power Plant (or a factory or similar) where the Employer (who provides the finance) wishes to implement the Project on a Fixed-Price Turnkey Basis?

是否加工设备或动力设备（或工厂及类似设施），雇主（资金提供方）希望按固定价格交钥匙方式实施项目？

—Then the Employer wishes the Contractor to take total responsibility for the design and construction of the process or power facility and hand it over ready to operate “at the turn of the key”,

这时，雇主希望承包商承担加工或动力设施的设计和施工的全部职责，并且项目移交时已做好“转动钥匙”即可运行的准备;

—and the Employer wishes a higher degree of certainty that the agreed contract price and time will not be exceeded,

雇主希望对不超过协议合同价格与工期有更大程度的确定性;

—and the Employer wishes the Project to be organized on a strictly two party approach, i.e., without an “Engineer” being involved,

雇主希望项目以严格的双方形式组织，即没有“工程师”参与;

—and the Employer does not wish to be involved in the day-to-day progress of the work,provided the end result meets the performance criteria he has specified,

只要最终结果满足雇主规定的性能标准，雇主不希望介入工作的日常进展;

—and the Employer is willing to pay more for the construction of his Project (than would be the case if P&DB were used) in return for the Contractor bearing the extra risks associated with enhanced certainty of final price and time.

雇主愿意为项目建设多付款(较用P&DB方式），作为承包商为提高最终价格和工期的确定性而承担额外风险的回报。

If this is what is wanted,choose EPCT.

如果要求是这样，选择EPCT《设计采购施工（EPC)/交钥匙工程合同条件》。

5.Is it an Infrastructure Project(e.g.,road,rail link,bridge,water or sewage treatment plant,transmission line, even dam or hydro power plant) or similar where the Employer(who provides the finance) wishes to implement the Project on a Fixed-Price Turnkey Basis?

是否是基础设施项目（如：公路、铁路、桥梁、供水或污水处理厂、输电线、乃至水坝或水电厂）或类似工程，雇主（资金提供方）希望按固定价格交钥匙方式实施项目？

—the Employer wishes the Contractor to take total responsibility for the design and construction,

雇主希望承包商承担设计和施工的全部职责;

—and the Employer wishes a higher degree of certainty that the agreed contract price and time will not be exceeded (except that, if underground works in uncertain or difficult ground conditions are likely, the risk of unforeseen ground conditions should be borne by the Employer and P&DB 4.12 would be appropriate),

雇主希望不超过协议合同价格与工期，具有更大程度的确定性（除非：有可能有在不确定或困难场地条件下的地下工程，未预见的场地条件的风险应有雇主承担，此时适用P&DB4.12条）;

—and the Employer wishes the Project to be organized on a strictly two party approach, i.e., without an “Engineer” being involved,

雇主希望项目以严格的双方形式组织，即没有“工程师”参与;

—and the Employer does not wish to be involved in the day-to-day progress of the work,provided the end result meets the performance criteria he has specified,

只要最终结果满足雇主规定的性能标准，雇主不希望介入工作的日常进展;
