Executive Summary
A Contractor can help with all types of decisions when it comes to maintenance (especially during
shutdowns). So, making a few contractors into team members is an important goal. As time passes, they
will lookout for your interests even when you are not around. Despite having good contractors, the
manager must be involved in the root cause failure analysis and PM. Types of work that are normally
contracted are:
1) Seasonal (grounds, snow removal)
2) Construction work
3) Trouble shooting electronics
4) Hiring a vendor at a lower rate to supervise and manage the workers
5) Work that requires a license or certificate
