It has been observed that the following activities are being affected due to IC not providing adequate site planning, supervision, manpower, resources, equipment, machinery and tools on site. The existing resources cannot be deemed as consistent with the magnitude of the scope of work of the project.

a.	The construction of buildings at gate 2 and gate 3 is delayed due to slow progress on backfilling and lack of technical staff to provide shop drawings in a timely manner.
b.	The construction of KAM access road is delayed due to lack of site manpower to remove the trees, light poles, clear the site from debris at the start of KAM.
c.	IC is having problems providing a logically acceptable method statement for relocation of KAUST fence, which has been rejected multiple times and delayed submissions have put the work behind planned dates. At the moment work on removal of fence has started and is suffering extremely from lack of resources.
d.	Installation of a simple task like chain link fence to isolate navy land from the project has taken more than a month and is still not complete.
e.	The procurement is facing delays because of IC not being able to provide technical submittals on time and has ignored the importance of long lead items for the project.
f.	The quality of technical submittals and shop drawings is deteriorating as adequate discipline engineers are not employed within IC to look into various disciplines like MEP, communications and security.
g.	Despite assurances from IC in weekly meetings adequate quality staff has not been hired to date.
h.	Site has been excavated for ditch construction for a much longer length than the actual concerting of retaining walls causing prolonged unsafe conditions. The slow progress can be seen due to lack of manpower and materials for construction.
i.	It is observed that IC managerial staff is not understanding the scope of work and SA quality and safety requirements and creating written or verbal claims for extra works which are either baseless or ill-informed. So far various baseless claims have done nothing but created delays in execution.
j.	Despite the fact that SAPMT has helped IC continuously by intervening in issues like dealing with interfaces, assisted in creating proposals to expedite construction, IC has failed to deliver on such activities and all SAPMT efforts have gone futile.

In addition to the above; delays in performing simplest of activities indicates either problems with the cash flow for the project or inability to manage the project. IC shall consider this as a proactive notification and is urged to initiate measures to overcome problems in site activities and provide SAPMT with a list of measures to be adopted within a week.
