East-West Corridor Project

Performance of the Contractors. During implementation, significant delay in the completion of the contract was caused by poor performance of a joint venture contractor, who was awarded three contract packages. For future projects, the criteria for qualification of the contractors under a joint venture, and for the award of multiple contracts, should be strengthened. The contractual provisions related to contractor performance, such as mobilization, staffing, and deployment of equipment and funds, need to be strengthened so that poor performance by the contractor is discouraged.
