SAPMT has reviewed your subject submittal dated 30 April 2013 and rejected with the following comments;
 
1.	The submitted schedule is not a Resource loaded schedule. It is mandatory to submit the resource loaded schedule by contractor.
2.	The submitted schedule consists the date constrained for 23 activities out of 629 which is not at all acceptable. It will restrict the flow of activities with respect to the relationship and it will not derive the realistic completion date.
3.	The schedule shows 20 activities without the assignment of Predecessors. It is allowed to have only one activity (Contract award date-MS-1000) without predecessor. So more than one activity without predecessor is technically not acceptable and it will lead to multiple open loops which cause unrealistic critical path of the project.
4.	Similarly there are 138 activities found without the assignment of Successors. It is allowed to have only one activity (Schedule Completion date-MS-1200) without successor. So more than one activity without successor is technically not acceptable and it will lead to multiple open loops which cause unrealistic critical path of the project.
5.	The critical path which is existing in the submitted schedule is unrealistic.
a.	For Example: Contract Award date & Complete demobilization is shown in critical path.
b.	However, it can be resolved once all the open loops are closed.
6.	Codification on Activity ID’s are completely established. Also, Activity description shall be self-explanatory (Do not use as title, Example: Revision, Approval, Water Pumps, Sonar System, Visitor Center, etc.,).
7.	Pre commissioning activities are further elaborated by each system.
8.	It is contractor responsibility to ensure the complete scope of the project is covered in the work schedule. So, review the list of activities along with the procurement and construction team and ensure that the complete scope of the project is covered.
9.	The submitted Level I Weightage is agreeable. However it can be approved after the verification of manpower loading in the schedule.
10.	The contractor is advised to put their thought process and prioritize to re submit the realistic Schedule at the earliest.  
11.	Also, the contractor has to submit the following supportive documents as minimum along with the Project work schedule.
•	Table of Contents
