SAMPT has reviewed your subject letter dated March 01, 2014 which you have make reference to Clause 14.4 of Schedule A -Request for Compensation for Standby Time, and has the following comments:

•	Approval has to be obtained from SAPMT for any compensation of standby time.

•	Instruction to suspend works in SAPMT letter ref. K&TPD/KRP&SFPD/SF/L-505/14 dated February 11, 2014, does not constitute a valid ground for Contractor to claim compensation for standby time. Contractor should have rescheduled the affected labors to work on other areas so as to eliminate standby time. 

Your request for compensation for standby times is hereby rejected.
