SAPMT has reviewed the subject letter no. KPSS/SA/B/AKR/14/0602 dated May 24, 2014 and has rejected with the following comments:
1.	The claim is not acceptable because IFB package requires a sub-base and a base course of the same thicknesses as shown in IFC. Determining a class for these materials depends on the geo-technical findings during the detailed design phase. IC is urged to provide design details showing why using a certain class of material was necessary along with the findings from geo-technical studies. It is also urged that a change shall not be made to the requirements/ specifications of the contract without acquiring prior technical and administrative approval from SAPMT.
2.	The calculations for the quantities are also not acceptable because they are not based on the design width of the base course material for KAM road.
Should you have any questions, please contact Sohail Moughal, Project Engineer at Tel No. +966 2 422-4570.
