Saudi Aramco would like to raise our major concern on Delay of Project Progress with the reference to approved base line (Rev.1) schedule. The progress slippage for Procurement was reached to 60.85 % and Construction was 38.49% (as on July 04, 2014) which is way beyond the control. 
The following events are missed with the reference to Rev. 1 Schedule due to contractor’s poor performance.
•	Manpower mobilization was re schedule to complete on September 26, 2013(Original date as per contract was within 30 days from the award of contract). But till date contractor is failed to mobilize xx, xx, xx.
•	Complete PO Placement for all bulk materials was scheduled on October 31, 2013. But till date the Contractor could not able to complete the Material submittal and Approval process. Also, PO Placement of so many long lead items is pending as well. The outstanding items are highlighted by SAPMT by various correspondences, but no positive action has been shown by contractor.
•	All Materials delivered to Work Site was scheduled on June 20, 2014. But as on date, the contactor is not in a position to deliver a single long lead item on site.
•	Fence Installation at Zone B(7+000 to 5+500) was scheduled to complete on May 28, 2014 but it was delayed by 40.88%. Zone C(7+100 to 8+800) was scheduled to complete on July 03, 2014 but it was delayed by 84.22%. Also, the overall Progress slippage on Fence installation is hard to recover since it is reached to 24.18%.
•	Construction of Culvert was scheduled to commence on January 22, 2014 and should have been completed 51%. But till date contractor is not in a position to start the work due to xxxxx.
•	KAM Access road construction was schedule to complete on March 19, 2014. Since the contractor is not in a position to complete the work as per the approved schedule, it was extended to complete latest by July 31, 2014. But the current progress trend shows that it is impossible to complete the task as extended.
•	Construction of Maintenance road and Patrol road was delayed on Zone A, B and C as well. Overall Road construction progress was slipped by 50.33% as on date.
•	Complete Relocation of existing fence and security system at KAM access road was scheduled on June 20, 2014 whereas the activity was yet to be completed and it is contributing 45% progress slippage.
•	Constructions of Buildings are completely out of control from contractor. It was scheduled to commence on November 21, 2013 whereas at the moment there is hardly any work being done on the buildings (Plan is 40.8% whereas Actual is 5.8%). 
•	Installation of Package Substation was scheduled to commence on May 06, 2014. But till date PO was not placed which clearly shows the contractor’s hopelessness to complete this project.
•	Installation of UPS System was scheduled to commence on August 04, 2014, but PO was placed only on April 22, 2014 and also Building works are yet to be commenced.
•	MV Cable laying was schedule to commence on August 04 2014, but there is no positive sign from contractor to start the activity as scheduled. PO for MV cable was placed only on April 22, 2014.
•	Installation of Lighting Pole foundation at Zone A & B should have been completed at this moment (Scheduled completion date was June 16, 2014). But till date the contractor was not yet prepared for pre casting of foundations. Also Lighting Poles installation should have been commenced on June 17, 2014 whereas PO was placed only on April 22, 2014.
•	Communication duct bank works are delayed by 64.20% at all the stations.
•	Installation of Vessel Barriers and Sonar System was schedule to commence on May 19, 2014. Also, commencement of Boat Automatic Identification system and Radar System installation was scheduled on June 21, 2014 and June 22, 2014 respectively. But PO Placement of Vessel Barriers and Automatic Boat Identification System are still pending and Radar & Sonar systems yet to be delivered at Site. Similarly contractor has completely delayed on Installation of Onshore Security Systems such as Intrusion detection and assessment system, Security Access Control System, Dropped arm crash barrier, all closed circuit system and cargo screening system. It is important to note that, the contractor was not in a position to produce a copy of PO’s for most of the Items mentioned above. Construction Progress slippage of Security systems was reached to 39.40% as on July 04, 2014.
•	The below said trend curve shows the significant progress by the contractor during the Month of June 14 which was accomplished due to the commencement for Fence Erection. However the contractor poor performance has been clearly illustrated during the previous months.
 
•	Also it is obvious to highlight that, Procurement Progress slippage of the contractor proposed schedule (Rev.2) has been reached to 12.45% and SAPMT could not see any significant action from contractor to reduce the slippage.
