SAPMT has reviewed the subject submittal dated November 10, 2013 and has the following comments:

1.	The procurement progress is slipping because the POs for SACS, IDAS and Civil items have not been placed.
2.	The progress of Shop drawings may be considered as a part of construction process and the percentage may be calculated as similar to the progress of construction.
3.	Consider not using Construction Consumables as a part of the overall procurement weightage.
4.	For the time being, the procurement progress may be shown with both methods i.e. uniform weightage method and price based weightage method.
5.	Tables are showing areas with backfill and excavation at the same time. Site clearance shall not be merged with excavation. Related tables shall be revised.
6.	Refrain from inserting blank tables/ sheets with no inputs and resize the tables for ditches and fence making it similar to table for roads.
7.	Any reported progress in absence of approved MTO shall be subject to a revision.
8.	IFC shall be issued before the end of November to avoid any delays in Engineering.
Should you have any questions, please contract Sohail Moughal, Project Engineer on Tel. No. +966 12 422 4570.
