ROSTEC/Construction

This page details the respective components related to a Construction Contract under ROSTEC.

How It Works
ROSTEC is centred around the component Chance Score. Chance Score acts as a percentage of how likely an event will happen.

There are two stages to ROSTEC: Bidding Stage and Management Stage. The Chance Score works differently on both stages: the Chance Score at the Bidding Stage determines your chances in winning the bid for a Project, whereas at the Management Stage, it determines if a disaster befalls upon your Project. In other words, you are more likely to win the bid of a Project with a higher Chance Score but disasters will happen more frequently. Likewise, a lower Chance Score lessens the frequency of a disaster happening to your project but you are also more likely to lose a bid.

To participate in the bid of any Project, all you need to do is to simply fill up the Bidding Form (link to form) during the Bidding Stage. You will then be notified if you win the bid and can proceed to the Management Stage.

Please note that if you win the bid of a Project, you have the responsibility to manage the Project and respond to the disasters in a timely manner. Failure to do so may result in the removal of your involvement in the Project and your nation may be disadvantaged in future Project bids.

For transparency, this website will be used to generate the numbers.

Bidding Stage
The Bidding Stage is where you assign a company of your nation to bid for any Ca'onjaian projects. To bid for a project, please fill up the Bidding Form (link to form). To increase your chances in winning the bid, you are highly recommended to use the ROSTEC Calculator (link to calculator).

The Bidding Form consists of 4 main components: Quality, Safety, Collaboration and Insurance. There are also 3 additional components: Base Cost, Project Cost and Nation Score. Click on the respective components to understand how they work.

Please take note of the following rules:
 * Fair Representation
 * Only 1 username, 1 company and 1 nation of origin can be submitted per Bidding Form.
 * Any nation may send in more than 1 company to bid for a Project and can apply the same Nation Score to all companies. However, a temporary Chance Score decrease of -5 times the number of companies (n) less 1 (-5 x [n-1]) (cap at 0) will be applied to all companies under the same nation. Please note that you can only submit 1 Bidding Form per company.
 * For consortiums and joint ventures, you can only submit 1 username, 1 company and 1 nation of origin.
 * Fair Chance
 * All bids must be submitted privately via the Bidding Form. Any bids submitted openly or by any other means will be rejected.
 * All companies whose nation that have no active Project will receive a temporary Chance Score increase of +10 (cap at 100) during the Bidding Phase.
 * All companies whose nation that have 2 or more active Project(s) will receive a temporary Chance Score decrease of -10 (cap at 0) during the Bidding Phase.

Bidding Stage
The Bidding Stage is where interested companies bid for tenders put up by any Ca'onjaian entities (e.g. Government Ministries, Companies, etc.). The bidding is performed by submitting the Bidding Form privately (i.e. sent via private message) within the stipulated time period. To encourage healthy competition, any bids submitted publicly may be disqualified on a case by case basis. After the time period, all bids received will be publicly announced. The tender will then be awarded to one of the bids put forth.

The awarding of a tender is determined by a random number generator between 1 to 100 against your Chance Score. Should there be only 1 bid for the tender, the tender is automatically awarded to the bidder. Should there be more than 1 bid, a number will be generated for each bid. If the number falls within the Chance Score, the bid goes to the next round. This is repeated until there is 1 winner for the tender.

The Bidding Form can be accessed via this link. A ROSTEC Calculator (via this link) is also available to aid in the calculation of the Chance Score.

Management Stage
Once the tenders have been awarded, the Management Stage will commence. On the last week of every month during the tender period, a ROSTEC Report will be published on the Ca'onja forum board. A private message will also be sent to all tendered companies notifying the publishing of the Report.

The Report will detail a list of Events that had happened within the project site of the tendered company. The company must then take an action according to the events before the next Report. In most cases, the automatic deduction from the Insurance will be considered an action taken by the company if there are sufficient funds in the Insurance. Failure to take any action will lead to mismanagement, resulting in a completion delay of 1 month. A completion delay of either 3 consecutive months or 6 cumulative months through inaction will result in the immediate termination of the tender and the company will be blacklisted from future tenders. The only exemption from this is an official announcement of inactivity made by the owner of the company (i.e. an announcement made by you). The affected tender will then be reopened for bidding.

There are 3 types of Events: Local, National and Random.
 * Local Events is an event that may happen within the project site for the month. A generated number between 1 to 100 will determine if a Local Event occurred. No Local Event will happen should the number falls outside of the range. If a Local Event is determined to happen, a generated number between 1 to 20 will determine its severity. Only 1 Local Event can happen per month through this method.
 * National Events are events that will affect all project sites in the affected region. For every National Event that occurred within the month, an additional Local Event will happen within the project site respective to the Severity Index range of the National Event.
 * Random Events are rare events that may happen within the project site for the month. Should it happen, its effect is determined by the type of Random Event that took place.

Completion Stage
Once the tender period ends, the actions taken by the tendered company will be used to calculate the Country Score. This score will affect the chance of the company winning future tenders put forth by Ca'onja by giving a temporary increase or decrease the Chance Score during the Bidding Stage. The default Country Score is 0. The Country Score is capped at minimum of -10 and maximum of +10.

There are two factors that will contribute to the Country Score: Insurance Deduction and Completion Delay.
 * Insurance Deduction: The Insurance Deduction will be calculated against the Initial Insurance. If the Deduction does not exceed the Initial, every 10% (rounded down to nearest 10%) will add +0.5 points to the Score. Likewise, if the Deduction exceed the Initial, every 10% (rounded down to the nearest 10%) will add -0.5 points to the Score.
 * Completion Delay: For every month of Completion Delay, 0.5 point will be deducted from the Score. If the Completion Delay results in a termination, a flat 5 points will be deducted from the Score instead. Completion Delays caused by National Events will not be counted.

Base Cost
The Base Cost is the initial cost of the project calculated by the Ca'onjaian entity. This is used to calculate other components like the Project Cost, Chance Score and Country Score.

Chance Score
The Chance Score serves two purposes: the chance of the bidding company winning the tender and the chance of an event happening to project. The Chance Score can range between numbers 1 to 100, with 2 to 100 serving as the base. The base is determined by first the Project Cost, then the preference stated on the Bidding Form and lastly by the Country Score rounded to the nearest figure. By default, the base is 50.

The calculation of the base by the Project Cost is by the percentage of deviation from "Base Cost + 30%". Positive deviation decrease the Chance Score; negative deviation increase the Chance Score. Every 1% will increase of decrease the Chance Score by 1. For example, if "Base Cost + 30%" is $100 million and Project Cost is $90 million (i.e. -10% from "Base Cost + 30%"), the Chance Score will increase by 10 from the default of 50. All percentage difference will be rounded up to the next figure.

Collaboration
The bidding company may choose to collaborate with a local company. This will primarily adjust the Repair Cost, as well as the Country Score via the Project Cost. Bidding companies can only work with 1 local company but the local company can work with multiple bidding companies. In other words, the local company is not exclusive to any bidding company.

Company Name
The name of the company bidding for the tender. Blacklisted companies will not be allowed to participate in the bid.

Completion Delay
A Completion Delay is a mandatory extension to the tender period due to mismanagement, which can range from1 to 6 months. This will eventually lead to the company incurring additional costs to continue the project. Additional costs is calculated by the average project cost per month multiplied by the number of additional months. A number will be generated between 1 to 100, with 30% chance of 1-month delay (41-70), 20% chance of 3-month delay (71-90) and 10% chance of 6-month delay (91-100). This delay will not result in the termination of the tender unless no action is taken.

Country
The country of origin of the bidding company. This is ensure that the Country Score is calculated into the bidding company's Chance Score. To prevent monopolisation, no country can have more than 40% of the active tenders.

Insurance
Insurance is the amount of additional funds to the Project Cost that will be used to cover the Repair Cost caused by events. Once there are Repair Cost that needs to be covered, an automatic deduction will be made from the Insurance to cover the cost. However, if there is insufficient Insurance to cover the Repair Cost, the bidding company is required to top-up the Insurance in a timely manner or risk getting a Completion Delay to the Project. The amount of Insurance Deduction will contribute to the Country Score.

Project Cost
The Project Cost is the final cost of the project proposed by the bidding company. The Project Cost is calculated according to Quality, Safety and Collaboration proposed by the bidding company. The Project Cost affects the Chance Score and Country Score.

Quality
The quality of the construction equipment, resources and management the bidding company intend to use and employ. This will adjust the project cost and the Chance Score according to the quality used. Higher quality will be costly but lowers the occurrence of Local Events.

Repair Cost
The amount requested to repair the damages caused by Local Events. The cost will be first deducted from the Insurance. If there are insufficient Insurance, the tendered company must top-up the Insurance to pay for the repairs. Failure to do so repeatedly will eventually result in the termination of the tender.

Safety
The level of safety measures the bidding company intend to implement. This will adjust the project cost and the Severity Index of the Local Event according to the quality used. More safety measures will be costly but yields lower intensity of the Local Event.

Stop Work Order
For the following 1 month, all non-administrative work will stop in order to reinforce safety measures. No Local Events will happen during the month including those cause by National Events. Random Events may still occur.

National Events
National Events are events that will affect all project sites of the affected region. For every National Event that occurred within the month, an additional Local Event will happen within the project site respective to the Disaster Severity range of the National Event. 50% of the Repair Cost will be covered by the Government, with the remaining 50% to be deducted from the Insurance. Any Completion Delays caused by National Events will not be counted to the Country Score.

Earthquake and Tsunami
Damages caused by earthquakes and the accompanied tsunamis will be determined according to its intensity. The data by the USGS "ShakeMap" will be used as a point of reference. Discretion will be applied.

Tropical Cyclone
Damages caused by tropical cyclones will be determined according to its intensity. Data by the Severe Weather Information Centre and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center will be used as a point of reference. Discretion will be applied.

Random Events
A Random Event have a 10-30% chance of happening per month depending on the Safety choice. The type of event will be determined from the number generated from 1 to 4. Once a Random Event is in effect, no new Random Events can happen until the time period of the existing event has run its course.
