The justification provided by ESE is not acceptable. According to para 3.1.1 of SCH-B, SAUDI ARAMCO comments on project documents or in log books or other documents shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of the overall responsibility of the work or for non-compliant items that may later be identified by SAUDI ARAMCO. Hence IC shall ensure that complete functionality of SACS according to project requirements is provided and any discrepencies found during comissioning shall be rectified by IC.
