Engineering Discipline Definitions
The contractor shall provide all resources including personnel, management, supplies, services, materials, equipment, facilities and transportation necessary to provide a wide range of professional engineering services as specified in each task order. Services specified in a task order may be performed at the contractor's facilities or the ordering agencies' facilities.
There are four primary disciplines (Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering) in the engineering field and hundreds of sub-disciplines or specialties associated with engineering disciplines. Below is a list of primary engineering disciplines with a partial list of sub-disciplines or specialties contemplated under PES. For specialties asterisked below, "Services Not Included", for limitations on the extent to which the specialty is included.
Chemical Engineering
Planning, development, evaluation and operation of chemical, biochemical or physical plants and processes. Changes in composition, energy content, state of aggregation of materials, forces that act on matter, and relationships are examined and new and conventional chemical materials, products and processes are produced and/or manufactured. It includes, but is not limited to, planning, evaluating or operation of chemical plants and petroleum refineries, pollution control systems, biochemical processes, plastics, pharmaceuticals, fibers; analysis of chemical reactions that take place in mixtures; determination of methodologies for the systematic design, control and analysis of processes, evaluating economics, safety, etc. Within the chemical engineering discipline, there are several specialties within the scope of this work; a partial listing follows:
