Abstract
Today, an APM customer faces monumental investment in the design, manufacture, construction, and commissioning of an APM system, or APM system enhancement. Such procurements typically begin with the development of some manner of technical specification, general provisions, RFP document, and other associated processes. Several alternatives exist for the approach to the technical specification. Such a specification can be highly detailed, or it can be very general in nature. The approach to such a procurement can have significant cost, schedule, and quality impacts, to the degree to make a project not feasible. The ASCE APM Standards Committee has developed four parts to a standard that can be very useful to APM owners when procurement of a system or system elements is being considered. This paper will explore the background and alternatives associated with these considerations, and the tools available for developing a set of technical specifications for such programs.
