ICC’s claim of SAR 7,115,200.00 as advance payment for steel reinforcement, concrete and X-ray equipment are not acceptable. Any claims for advance payment for material should be covered by an approved Bank Guarantee as stipulated in Paragraph 3.4 of “Schedule Câ€ of the Contract Document. In addition, this advance payment is limited to major material and long lead items. Procurement of bulk material such as steel reinforcement bar and concrete are not entitle for advance payment.

Deduction for failure to achieve required Saudization should be based on the amount approved by SAPMT.
