Abstract

The FIDIC Red Book is an international standard contract condition in which the Employer designs and the Contractor performs the construction. The Engineer of FIDIC Red Book shall agree or determine any matter or Claim in accordance with Sub-Clause 3.7 neutrally, not as an agent of the Employer. This study aimed to derive Key Risk Sub-Clauses out of 49 Sub-Clauses that the Engineer of FIDIC Red Book recently revised in 18 years shall agree or determine according to Sub-Clause 3.7 using the Delphi method. A panel of 35 experts with more than 10 years of experience and expertise in international construction contracts was formed, and through total three Delphi surveys, errors and biases were prevented in the judgment process to improve reliability. As for the research method, 49 Sub-Clauses that engineers shall agree on or determine according to Sub-Clause 3.7 of the FIDIC Red Book were investigated through the analysis of contract conditions. In order to evaluate the probability and impact of contractual risk for each 49 Sub-Clause, the Delphi survey conducted repeatedly a closed-type survey three times on a Likert 10-point scale. The results of the first Delphi survey were delivered during the second survey, and the results of the second survey were delivered to the third survey, which was re-evaluated in the direction of increasing the consensus of experts' opinions. The reliability of the Delphi 3rd survey results was verified with the COV value of the coefficient of variation. The PI Risk Matrix was applied to the average value of risk probability and impact of each of the 49 Sub-Clauses and finally, 9 Key Risk Sub-Clauses that fell within the extreme risk range were derived.

FIDIC Red Book은 발주자가 설계를 하고 시공자가 시공을 하는 국제표준계약조건이다. FIDIC Red Book의 Engineer는 발주자의 대리인 으로서가 아닌, 중립적으로 3.7조에 따라 클레임 또는 모든 사안에 대하여 합의하거나 결정하여야 한다. 본 연구는 델파이 기법을 이용하여 18년 만에 최근 개정된 FIDIC Red Book의 Engineer가 3.7조에 따라 합의하거나 결정해야할 49개의 세부조항들 중 핵심 리스크 세부조항 도출을 목표로 하였다. 국제건설계약에 대한 10년 이상의 경험과 전문지식을 보유한 35명의 전문가 패널을 구성하여 총 3회의 델파이 설문조사 과정을 통해 판단과정에서의 오류 및 편향을 방지하여 신뢰성을 향상시켰다. 연구 수행 방법은 계약조건 분석을 통해 FIDIC Red Book 3.7조에 따라 Engineer가 합의하거나 결정해야 하는 세부조항들을 49개로 조사하였다. 49개의 세부조항들별 계약적 리스크 발생도와 영향도를 평가하기 위해 델파이 조사는 리커트 10점 척도로 폐쇄형 설문조사를 3회 반복 수행하였다. 델파이 1차 설문조사 결과를 2차 설문조사 시 전달하고 2차 설문 조사 결과를 3차 설문조사에 전달하여 전문가 의견의 일치성을 높이는 방향으로 재평가하였다. 델파이 3차 조사 결과의 신뢰성은 변이계수 COV 값으로 검증하였다. 49개의 세부조항들 각각의 리스크 발생도와 영향도 평균값을 PI Risk Matrix를 적용하여 최종적으로 Extreme Risk 범위에 속하는 9개의 핵심 리스크 세부조항들을 도출하였다.
