• Current Estimated Situation
No risk was detected until preparation of this report since the main program of the loan civil works implementation has not yet been started with contract sign.
6.9.3 Risks Related to Quality
The quality of work is inherently tied to the competence of the Contractors and the diligence of the Supervision Teams. The competence or otherwise of contractors shall
be considered at the time of bid evaluation and prior to the award of any contract.
The quality of supervision however is influenced by the following factors: •
Ensuring that supervision staff levels are fully manned with competent, honest, qualified and experienced personnel.
• The provision of properly equipped laboratories with properly trained operators
for each package. Package supervision comes under the responsibilities of the immediate supervision
teams and the relevant DSC but the Quality Assurance Engineer from CTC, when mobilized, will periodically monitor their performance.

7 ISSUES and RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Current Situation
The main issue during March 2013 is the procurement of four 4 packages under AWP-1. The AERs have been discussed between the DGH and the Bank for almost a year. The
tender could not be started until the AERs are approved by the Bank even the Bidding Documents are ready to be issued.
The existing road conditions of the four packages under AWP-1, which are predicted being deteriorated rapidly by the traffic during almost a year, shall be anticipated.
Another issue is establishment of the Design and Supervision Consultant DSC. It is required to expedite the DSC recruitment process. The DEDs for AWP-2 and AWP-3
packages, including the 7 packages under CTC review at the current time, shall be completed soonest and the procurement can be started immediately.
7.2 Action Required
The project managers PPKs are suggested and required to update the DEDs of the AWP- 1 packages following actual condition of the existing roads. The estimated construction cost
should be considered to not significantly increase. Otherwise, the prequalification shall be cancelled since the experience criteria for the Applicants were set based on previous
estimated construction cost.
It is hopefully that the Bank will not take long time approving the proposed negotiated and draft contract for DSC which was submitted by DGH on 25 March 2013.
