c. Subtotal Item 4  5
Total Unsettled and Un-agreed Amount (items 1 to 4)
A marginal figure would have accommodated by FWO within its risk but the scale of uncertainty is beyond reasonable comprehension of a competent contractor

9. MATTERS OF CONCERN Site constraints
Site is essentially a flood plain with natural flow lines now interrupted after construction
Rain damages being permanent feature on site seriously questions adequacy of design. FWO has made it clear to the Employer that there is no provision for maintenance in the BoQ as it stands, therefore FWO cannot be held responsible for future damages that may occur.
Future site re-profiling either by OPF or residents will be detrimental to roads
Opening of streets and areas by services network providers such as IESCO etc is a serious matter of concern for FWO

10. MATTERS OF CONCERN Payments
Payments have not been timely and in accordance with the contract terms/ commitments leading cash flow shortfall against the project impairing FWO’s capacity to undertake further works
It took OPF seven months to clear payments (466 Mn) for Works completed in Dec 2015 (Payment initiated in Jan 16 (vide IPA 23 and latest payment received in Aug 2016).
IPA-25 (62 Mn) along with its Price adjustment (18 Mn) non-contractually returned to FWO undetermined.
A substantial sum of Rs 904 Mn against variations remains undetermined and unsettled despite notifying this effect to OPF numerous times.
A considerable amount ( Mn) retained against Security which has now gone way beyond planned period of 3 years

11. MATTERS OF CONCERN Takeover & Defects Liability
OPF’s reluctance to take over completed Segment-I works is delaying commencement of Defect Liability Pd.
Circumstances beyond FWO control impairing its capacity to undertake further works

12. RECOMMENDTIONS
Segment-I Takeover, which comprises 3925 Kanals fully developed from FWO and settle final accounts. Although numerous EOTs have been granted to the Contractor but no corresponding VOs (Variation Orders) have been issued, allowing Contractor to recover the over spend. FWO cannot operate on an indefinite Defects Liability Period and it is for this reason that takeover should commence and conclude as a matter of urgency
Segment-I works should not be linked to the undeveloped land which is being released after Extension of Time (EOT) which expired on 31 Dec If this proposal is not adopted, FWO will not be able to provide competitive rates and allocate resources as the legacy of Segment-I will continue to impact productivity. Therefore, a clear line must be drawn between these two work streams

13. RECOMMENDTIONS
Completed works (Segment-I) are ready for final measurement, needs settlement in full
Release of Retention Money against Bank Guarantee
FWO liabilities and re-evaluate the project cost incorporating scope change and time prolongation. Corresponding VOs to be issued. (refer Appendices)
Speedy settlement of contested amounts including timely payment of agreed Price Adjustments and surplus soil
All new works (Segment-II) to be carried out under a separate order on market rate
Employer to ensure no damages are caused by svc network providers

14. RECOMMENDTIONS
Effective security be ensured to avoid theft / damage to build assets.
Independent maintenance contractor to be deployed for regular de-silting.
Strict control on heavy vehicles using the roads.
Special measures to be taken for levelling of terrain.
Regarding development of newly released land, FWO offers conditional cooperation until and unless all with held payments are released, unapproved variations are settled and Segment-I is taken over.
