With time elapsed approaching the halfway mark 50 of the contract time for each of the four 4 contract packages, the Contractors with the exception of Package No.2 will have hard time to deliver the Works on the target dates of completion, unless a workable and realistic action plans or Catch-up Schedules will be strictly implemented. Package No. 1 : Biha Krui At the end of this month, there was no substantial work accomplished to reduce previous month slippage of -35.08, instead the behind works further slipped behind to 39.91 as 51 of the contract time have elapsed. This problem have been going on for the past several month. The major work items which brought down the slippage to highly alarming situation are the drainage works 34.19 granular pavement 9.22 and asphalt pavements 40.14 which accounted for a total of 83.55 of the contract. In contrast, the Contractor was able to accomplished only 5.21 total for the three 3 major work items. The overall situation of this contract package is so critical with respect to timely completion taking into consideration the short remaining contract time to complete the huge amount of remaining works. As time is running out and with the balance of remaining works which is equivalent to 87.72 that is still to be completed by the Contractor within the remaining 49 of the contract period or 314 calendar days cannot be attained unless the Contractor start a workable Action Plan this coming of December 2014. Show Cause Meetings were held in the previous months with implementation of Test Cases by the Contractor but the efforts never produce any good results to improve the progress of the Works. To achieved successful completion of the Project, all issues and major problems which are hampering the progress of the works shall be resolved thru a high level management meeting to be participated in by high level management of the DGH, Contractor and concerned authorities. It is suggested that the Contractor shall be required to submit a written commitment to deliver the Project to the Owner on the target date of completion.

Empat Including Air Gadang Bridge During the month, the progress works slightly improved in terms of slippage delayed works. The previous month slippage of -7.95 slightly gained a positive improvement to -7.36 this end of month. The Construction of Air Gadang Bridge which is yet to be started and frequent breakdown of the Asphalt Mixing Plant were the two 2 main factors which prevented to achieved substantial progress. To date, the delayed work is still on the manageable level and not yet of much concern. ANNEX P-2 Executive Summary Report present a more detailed status of the Contract Package. Package No. 3 : Manggopoh Padang Sawah The current slippage which further slipped down from -15.65 the previous month to -17.74 this month is of much concern due to the very limited remaining contract time left. The main reason for the minimal progress was the delayed works on the asphalt pavement item which accounted for almost 56 of the entire contract as the Asphalt Mixing Plant is frequently out of order. To date only 3 of entire work item is completed. Due to urgency to maximize the output of paving works to attain a modest progress, the Contractor shall maintain the AMP regularly. In addition, a high level management meeting shall be scheduled as soon as possible in order to address and resolve all issues that are presently hampering the progress of the works. A more detailed status of the project progress are shown in ANNEX P-3 Executive Summary Report . Package No. 4 : Ipuh Bantal The current status of this contract package is similar with that of Package No. 1 wherein the negative slippage of -18.88 incurred last month further slipped down to -24.66 as of end of this reporting month. The actual progress of only 8.10 since the project started eleven 11 months ago is of much concern than the slippage. Simply looking at the percentage of work accomplished, it seems that the project is only on the mobilization period, whereas by this 11 th month period, at least 32 of the works should have been completed by this time. As mentioned in previous monthly progress reports, Show Cause Meetings and actual implementation of Test Case for a certain period of time were conducted, but the results never produced any sign to improve the works progress.
