3 Standards to be used in the project

During design and when preparing specifications, calling for tenders and letting contracts for
works, materials, plant equipment and supplies, Australian Standards and Codes will be used at
all times except where it is impracticable to do so.
4. AIP activities undertaken by the Project Proponent

The PHQ Project AIP Plan has been prepared to summarise the project’s procedures for actively
supporting AIP such that Australian contractors and suppliers are given full, fair and reasonable
opportunity to supply goods and services to the PHQ Project.

Australian industry will be given early notification of upcoming competitively bid contracts,
principally through Head Contract subcontract and supply opportunities being listed on the
ProjectConnect web-based supplier registration system.

Industry Capability Network Western Australian (ICNWA) and ICN offices throughout Australia
will be utilised to carry out enquiries on Australian capability to undertake the above scopes.

ICNWA will dual list opportunities on ICN Gateway, in addition to the listing on ProjectConnect.

Public announcements and electronic communications about the PHQ Project will be made using
Chevron Australia’s website.

The Perth office of an Australian architectural, design and planning consultancy has been
working with the PHQ Project throughout Phase 2 (Design Consultant), supported by a range of
locally-based engineering and consulting organisations.

A number of well-established Australian building contracting companies have been short-listed
for the Head Contract.

These companies will be expected to further demonstrate their understanding during the tender
process of Australian building practice and Australian industry capability in this regard.

During design and when preparing specifications, calling for tenders and letting contracts for
works, materials, plant equipment and supplies, Australian Standards and Codes will be used at
all times except where it is impracticable to do so.

Records and/or evidence that will be maintained by the PHQ Project include regarding:
o Use of ProjectConnect;
o Enquiries undertaken by ICNWA;
o Australian content;
o Employment and training created; and
o Aboriginal business engagement and employment.
5. AIP activities to be undertaken by procurement entities

down to the Head Contractor, including via the development of an AIP Plan in conformance with
PHQ Project AIP Plan.

The Head Contractor’s AIP Plan will include the use of the ProjectConnect website to publish
opportunities, and the utilisation of ICNWA to match capable Australian companies against
those opportunities.

The Head Contractor will also be required to prepare an Aboriginal Engagement Plan in
conformance with Chevron’s requirements.

Other contractors, subcontractors and suppliers will be required to provide information to
Chevron Australia or Head Contractor to monitor the commitments and outcomes detailed in
the PHQ Project AIP Plan.

Post award meetings will be held on a regular basis with the Head Contractor to ensure that
appropriate processes and resources are maintained to implement their AIP Plan and Aboriginal
Engagement Plan and report against the key measures outlined in the PHQ Project AIP Plan.

Australian suppliers and contractors that are unsuccessful in direct tender submissions, will, if
requested, be provided with feedback on possible areas of improvement by the appropriate
Chevron Australia or direct agent (such as Head Contractor or Design Consultant) contract or
procurement personnel. This feedback will not provide comparative pricing information.
