Option B looks best choice here. However, option C is also related because of incentive.

This is a confusable question and need a lot to explain all types.

However to just answer, i go for option

Thanks for invite

Option - B (Owner can not control the costs of service provider. Additionally service provider has not incentive to keep costs in check or reduce the costs as he will get the same fixed fee).

T&M is risky proposition too. However owner has control over the resources, scope and budget. Hence it is less risky when compared with CPFF.

My opinion is that the right answer is:

 

A. Time and material (T&M)

Md Fazlur Rahman
par Md Fazlur Rahman , Procurement Specialist , Engineering and Planning Consultants Ltd

OPTION-C is correct choice

Cost plus incentive is the most risky as the owner does not have any control on cost(material, labor charge) and the contractors incentive will be more when the cost increases.

Appropriate answer is C .

In case of C , in order to get more incentive which is based on cost, vender or seller can jack-up the cost. Hence Owner is at high cost risk.

Whereas Time & Material is used for small value and short time contracts.
