This refers to your letter with Ref NO. AA/1555/10 dated on 08/10/2019 in which you
notified the contractor to improve his poor progress of the project. From your letter, we
have undersood that the key factors for his poor perfmance are non conformity to assign
key personnels and failure to supply construction materials. As you well know, these
deliverables were the must meet requirement for the qualification of his bid and also part
of the contract agreement. Failure to adhere with this requirement is a major default
which may lead a termination of contract under reference. Though the progress of the
work becoming worse and worse, the Engineer’s contractual and administration orders are
not abiding by the rules as dictated in GCC 37.3.
Further more, advance payment utilization and one of the specific requirements of the
program implementation tasks, material or procurement schedule, are furnished to your
office lately. The equipements and machineries are not delivered according to the
contract as in SCC refered by GCC 34.1. Besides, the minimum insurance cover is not
submitted to the client as is tatedd in SCC refered by GCC 40.1.
Observing these problems and contractual defects, you should have taken contractual
action and or you are highly expected to consult your client to act accordingly.

This refers to your letter with Ref NO. AA/1700/11/19 dated on 04/11/2019 in which you
confirmed the contractor’s proformas for the processing of PT unit rate fixation. From
the attached proformas, we have found that any of contractors named in the proformas
are not specialized in post tensioned structure work. It is known that the contractor may
from time to time up on the request of the public body, execute any additional document
and do any other acts or things which may reasonably to be required to implement the
provisions of the contract as per GCC 29.2. We informed you the Post tensioned unit rate
fixation up on the request of the contractor should be legalized and well substantiated.
But the contractor attached two proformas collected from contractors which are not
inattentively. Therefore, our office would like you to warn the contractor for his wrong
processing with regard to PT unit rate fixation. Finally, it is necessary to rectify the PT
processing of unit rate fixation accordingly and you should justify carefully.

This refers to your letter with Ref NO. ATC/03303/11/19 dated on 21/11/2019 in which
you totally reject the warning issued from the engineer with regard to poor progress on
the captioned project. Your rejection emitted from the decisions and design provision
issues as you complained. Your complaints and our responses to the complaints are as
follows.
Contractor’s complaint
We are unable to collect payment for the works of post tensioned work due to unapproval
of PT unit rate and we are losing confidence on progressing of the work due to reluctant
decision and the PT specialist stopped the work
On receipt of the change order requesting the modification, the Contractor shall proceed
to carry out the modification and be bound by these GCC in so doing as if such
modification were stated in the contract. The works shall not be delayed pending the
granting of any extension of time for completion or adjustment to the contract price.
Where the order for a modification precedes the adjustment to the contract price, the
Contractor shall keep records of the costs of undertaking the modification and of time
expended thereon. Such records shall be open to inspection by the Engineer at all
reasonable times as per GCC 15.6. However, the public body addressed the issue
seriously and scrutinized the document what the contractor submitted to. But we found
that some of the document especially the proformas are not eligible for the cost
comparison purpose. Therefore, our office understands that furnishing this kind of
documents is not acceptable as per GCC 5.3(b).
Moreover, our office paid for the PT works provisionally eventhogh you are not fulfilling
the requested requirement for fixing PT unit rate .
Contractor’s Compliant
As per GCC 34.3,when you proposed design change for more safety and structural stability ,less
cost of construction works and relatively shorter time completion,we were certain that the
contractor considered the duration of the design modification approval from Addis Ababa City
Integrated Infrastructure Development and Construction Permit and Control Authority because
you should be governed by all laws as it is stated in the contract.Moreover,in your agreement with
the EASE Engineering plc, preparation and submittal of structural design is covered by the
subcontractor as his duty in addition to suppy and supervision services.
Contractor’s Compliant
Undermat structure agreement is not yet finalized and we cann not get the required payment for
the works executed.
The document you supplied is still unfulfilled and our office is ready to finish soon.
However, the payment is paid because the rate is fixed and the remaining is to
supplement with agreement.
Contractor’s Compliant
Extension of time approval is rejected or unfairly evaluated and unapproval of price Escalation
formula
The Engineer shall, by written notice to the contractor after due consultation with public body
and, where appropriate, the contractor, grant such extension of the intended completion date as
may be justified, either prospectively or retrospectively, or inform the contractor that he is not
entitled to an extension as per GCC 73.3. This is done accordingly.
In addition, price escalation formula is already in the contract, no new formula will be formulated
and we responded this issue previously and the public body has the right to select the method of
price escalation after scrutinizing the availability of the lists of inputs as per GCC 62.7. Because
the public body believed that there are not inputs stated as per the mentioned article in SCC.
Therefore, our office has understood that the contractor is misleading both the client and
Engineer due to their tolerance. As all of us undertand, the progress is extremely poor due to
poor management especially non-responsiveness todeploy key personnel, construction material
and equipement as per the contract, specifically stated in SCC refered by GCC 34.1 and 38.3.

This refers to your letter with Ref No. YACAE/2018/19 dated on 18/10/2019 through which you mentioned that your
office has no variance from the previous advice i. e to terminate the contractor. But by appreciating your advice, we
have complaint against the following paragraph.
“In addition, an immediate higher official was held at construction minister’s office on August 17,2019 in the
presence of her execellency Engineer Aisha (Construction minister) and during the meeting all parties has agreed to
make the project live, the contractor to perform fully the client’s satisfaction the client to release the out standing
payment No.6 eventhough it was much less than the minimum agreed amount ,the contractor to get own finance
on its own ,the minister office to aid finance the government bodies for LC processing and the contractor to carry
on the entire works full capacity.”
Niether the minister office nor the public body did not issue, say to aid finance from the government bodies for LC
processing for the contractor to carry out works. And no minute points are attached with regard to this issue.

This refers to your letter with Ref NO. ATC/04132/12/19 dated on 24/12/2019 in which
you concluded that the slippage on the progress of the project is the cumulative effect
of delaying PT unit rate approval, subcontractor’s importation problem, incomplete design
and design inadequacies and delay in approval of price adjustment formula and escalation
payments.we appreciate for your attention of our concern and the following is our counter
conclusion on each issue you raised.
your submited work , material and cash flow schedule .Moreove ,we have
scrutinized the advance disbursement schedule versus advance utilization
report .Your company did not deploy materials and equipements according what you
reported in advance payment utilization report and according to minimum
requirement of the contract as in SCC refered by GCC 34.1. However, we the client
paid you the PT concrete work provisionally and substantial amount of advance
payment is still not repaid to us.Therefore, there is no finanacial processing
problem from our side.
2. Delays related to Subcontractor’s Importation problem
We have no contractual relations with the subcontractor(GCC 14.5).Forecasting and
identifying the upcoming problems is the responsibility of the contractor.It is
your responsibility to facilitate the safe path for your subcontractor and we will
not
accept your say on LC and custom clearance as problem and will not be treated as
unforeseen events.
3. Delays related to incomplete Design and Design Inadequacies
The consultant confirmed and we approved 21 days for delays of design revision
and 6 days for suspension of work due to design issue in Time extension No.2.
Therefore, these minor problems were treated contractually and timely.
Your company is requesting price fixation for PT concrete work on one hand, and
price escalation payments on the other hand.You are tired of searching legal
documents for PT unit rate fixation.Significant amount of work will be
incoprporated in variation and as your advance utilization report displays
siginificant amount of materials are purchased by our advance payment. Inputs
included in variation and purchased by advance payment will not be entertained in
price escalation payments.Moreover; inputs are not included SCC refered by GCC
62.7. Therefore ,as we announced you previously, there are not inputs in the
contract. Before incorporation of weighting, factors there should be agreement
inputs.
Finally, the poor progress of the project is due to poor deploy of material supply,
machinery and unassignment of key personnels. Those performance indicators
should have been properly deployed and assignened as per the requirement of the
contract. Undeployement of construction inputs and unassignment of key
personnels created huge slippage of contract time versus project
progress.Therefore; you are expected to compensate the slippage as per the
contract.

It is to be recalled that Oct 11/2019 G.C was the completion date of the project even
though a huge gap of 73% prevailed as compared to the status of the project, which is
27.02% .your performance during the whole valid duration of the contract was evaluated
in different meetings with the presence of higher officials and you promised a number of
times to make better the progress even if concrete improvement was not seen as you
promised. In addition, both the consultant and the client gave you Notice of warnings to
be on the normal contractual track. But nothing becomes normal to date, which
transgresses client‘s forbearance.
Besides, our consultant is also recommending our office as per GCC clause 19 and 21.2 or
GCC clause 59 to terminate the contract that due to the poor performance of the
contractor after giving thirty (30) days written notice of termination.
By now, our office is desperate by your impractical promises and persistent poor
performance. So, we are obliged to give you this notice of termination as per GCC clause
21.2(a) due to the contractor failure to carry out the required works within the period
specified under our contract which shall be completed but the work is still 27.07 %.
Therefore, the caption project contract will be terminated after 30 (thirty) days from
the issuance of this written notice of termination and you are expected to make every
necessary and proper actions for termination of the contract as per our contractual
agreement.

requirement of time extension.And our office is forced to reject time extension claim NO.1

to. However, we found that some of the document especially the proformas

d) It is pointed out in our letter with Ref: FGB/531/1633 and FGB/598/2104 dated

The public body has the right to select the method of price escalation after
scrutinizing the availability of the lists of inputs as per GCC 62.7. Because the
public body believed that there are not inputs stated as per the mentioned article
in SCC.
If there are no inputs stated, from which do you formulate the weighted
ratios?
Regarding the delays related with the price adjustment and escalation payment,
we could not accept it as a cause of delay that hindered the project progress
.Because its process is not bounded .It may take some days in order to settle the
elements subjected to price adjustment formula and escalation payment.In
addition, it might be an additional payment that are not considerrd as a failure.
Generally,the causes raised by your office related with dealy of approval of unit price
for PT work and price adjustment formula are not the causes for compensation for time
and cost.Rather,we, the client are suufred by the delay of the project by not discharging
your obligation and we will claim accordingly for the consequences we faced.

Despite using the contractual opportunity created in client’s side for his processing of
first and second advance payments, which amounts Birr 167,290,751.80, the project
performance remains far from the anticipated excecution, which is 2.1% executed versus
Even if we are disturbed by the delayed project and the unutilized and intensely
manipulated advance payment on contractor’s hand ,the company is still requesting the
third advance payment release by proposing joint account as if he is suffered from cash
shortage through the letter Ref No.ATC/06023/03/20 Dated on 18/03/20 and stated
18/03/20 which we are informed by the copy. Our office would like to inform you un
a) Should the Contractor misuse any portion of the advance payment, it shall become due
and repayable immediately and no further advance payments will be made to him as per
GCC 60.5.Therefore,unless the contractor is justifying for his client about the
utilization of the previous advance payments physically and explicity for this project
beyond mere document submittal since we know the contractor has a number of
projects in the country ,we will ask the contractor legally and contractually as per the
stated clause.
b) You have proposed Joint account for the release advance payment only
,nonetheless, we are sure that the bealated progress does not result from cash
shortage ,reasonably, it is the contractor’s mis use of the the previously paid
advance payments .Should you want to have joint account ,we the client believe that
b) Not only the advance payments, but also all the coming interim payments
With the above in mind, we believe that the inimitable challenges with respect to cash
mangement that the contractor faced could not be resolved by releasing the third
advance payment .Finally, we hereby request you to appraise the project situation very
seriously and reverse the belated project to acceptable progress as per the schedule.
