INGENIEUR Payment = Amount Not Subjected to Performance + Performance Payment (PP) - Total LD Amount - LD KPI-2 - LD KPI-2 (PP for KPI-1) + = 0.8 * CP + (PP for KPI-2) + (PP for KPI-3) 0.2 * CP = 0.8 * CP + [ (0.5 * APS KPI-1 ) + (0.3 * APS KPI-2 ) + (0.2 * APS KPI-3 ) ] Table 3: The payment formula for this PBC Rewards and Remedies The 3 rd Generation PBC is designed not only to allow payment for performance, but also to influence the contractor’s behaviour. As achievement of a particular behaviour is linked to both positive and negative consequences, the “carrot and stick” approach is employed to motivate commitment and incentivise the contractor in a positive and negative manner. The types of rewards and remedies that are commonly used in PBCs today are shown in Table 4. PBC is trying to encourage contractors to deliver their services in accordance with the performance levels specified in the contract through a reward and remedy mechanism. As the most damaging form of remedy, contract termination is the possibility that most contractors will try to avoid. For good performing contractors, contract tenure extension is the most effective reward as it brings lasting business, organisational stability and reputation. Under 3 rd Generation PBC, “rolling wave” Award Term model is used since it is a fair option. As shown in Figure 5, a “rolling wave” model is awarding tenure extension on a yearly basis immediately after the contractors’ performances have been reviewed and verified through a formal annual review process. 6 74 VOL 2018 VOL 76 55 OCTOBER-DECEMBER JUNE 2013 REWARD  Performance Payment REMEDY  Withhold Payment  Pain Share / Gain Share  Remediation Plan  Incentive Payment  Award Term/ Tenure Extension  Stop Payment  Liquidated Damages  Contract Termination  Future Work  Recognition Scheme Table 4: Common rewards and remedies in PBCs Performance Implementation Plan Immediate implementation of a PBC is sometimes unnecessary and can be unfair to the contractor. Although contracting parties may have concluded the contract negotiation and agreed on the PMF, in certain circumstances, PBC requires a period of time after the commencement of contract to allow personnel of both parties to get used to the reporting and scoring requirements and to enable uncertainty regarding performance levels be resolved to avoid initial unrepresentative performance discrepancies.
