Purpose

This report narrates the basis on which the above named Contractors Interim Payment
application has been reviewed, and agreed by all parties i.e. Tekfen Construction & Installation
Co., Inc. (Contractor) and KEO (Supervising Consultant). It further indicates the jointly agreed

Assessment and Evaluation

The Contractor M/s Tekfen Construction and Installation Co.INC has submitted his Application
for Payment No. 61 under letter reference EXW-P059-0000-CO-TEK-LT-02372 dated 08th June
2016. We have reviewed the said Payment Application and have ensured that the supporting
documentation is complete and that the quantity calculations have been correctly prepared and
presented.
As the Contract has now been converted to a Lump Sum, and following the procedure already
being followed on an Expressway Project, the recommendation for all Structures together with
some civils and utilities items have been calculated on the percentage (%) based against the
Shop Drawing and this percentage (%) has then been applied to the quantity within the Lump
Sum.
The gross cumulative and net period amounts recommended for payment include the following:

1) Amounts for Preliminaries to 25th May 2016. Only applicable Fixed Time and
Progress related Prelims are included in this interim certificate.
2) Amounts for Original and Revised Contract Measured Works executed to 25th May
2016.
3) Amounts for Original and Revised Contract Design and Supervision Works executed to
25th May 2016.
4) Amounts for Materials on Site to 25th May 2016.
5) As the Contractor is unable to demonstrate the payment to Qatar Armed Forces
preferred supplier (Ericsson) related to damaged cable, we have recommendation that
this amount is deducted from the Contractor ($86,368.00 at the exchange rate of 3.65
USD to 315,243.20 QAR+ 99,570.00 QAR =414,813.20 QAR as per QAF letter).

Contractor. These were closed with the agreement of the Contractor under letter EXWP059-0000-CM-KEO-LT-02075 dated 18th May 2016, for the deductive amount of QAR
109,914.13.

Executed Measured Works

The Value of work to date in the Contractors IPA was QAR 1,312,106,848.85. The Supervision
Consultant has recommended the same amount.
Executed Variation Works
Works under Site Instructions are assessed based on the actual Works done by Contractor and
approved by the Supervision Consultant up to the month of May 2016.

Revised Bill of Quantities (VO# 2/ SI #56) has been recommended 67.84 % of the
approved amount

Site Instruction #58 (VO#3) has been recommended 55.02% of the approved SI amount
We have adjusted the work done quantities in the Bill of Quantities to reflect that the Contract is
now a Lump Sum rather than a re-measureable Contract.
