 MY APPROACH-
 Joined Unique Engineers Pvt Ltd. in Oct 2018.
 The Project was directly awarded to M/s UEPL from M/s
AAI.
 Due to delay M/s AAI was withholding the payments
due to delay in project.
 Management involved me to get the EOT certified and
final bill closure to get the final payments.
 Interface between client & civil contractor to get the
EOT approval and final account reconciliation.
 MY ACHIEVEMENTS
In absence of justification of delay from client and other contractors ,the provisional
EOT’s was issued and amount was withhold against the delay from the running bill.
In Dec 2018 the extra and deviated items statements was shared with client for the
approval and same was approved by client in Jan 2019.
In order to my role, the biggest problem was the EOT approval from client to get the
withhold amount release and in April 2019, the final EOT was submitted to the client
for approval with all evidence and justification for the delays.
During the preparation of EOT, it has been observed that based on the actual
schedule submitted to client the completion date was Sept 2017, and maximum all
the major material was delivered at site till July 2017 and due to delay in work front
and site clearance from client end, the installation and commissioning got delayed.
In order to approval various commination was done and EOT got approved in March
2020 from Client.
In EOT the additional claim of Rs. 34,79,557.00 against the additional cost paid for
supervision charges and based on request from AAI the withdrawn letter for claim
was submitted to AAI.
