Financial management. Based on observations of financial auditors, ADB recommended MPRDC (Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation) to strengthen internal audit system with regard to nature and scope of verification, timely preparation of audit reports, and to improve fund management. These measures together with regular and robust assessment of financial sustainability would facilitate better financial management.

Performance of contractors. Despite reiterated requests and financial support from MPRDC (Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation), one civil works contractor continued to perform poorly and the contract had to be terminated. Incorporating additional evaluation criteria in the bidding document on past poor performance or terminated or abandoned contracts would facilitate identification of such contractors in future procurement activities.

Implementation delay. The project implementation initially experienced delays mainly due to slow mobilization by the civil works contractors, even though the pre-construction activities were carried out in a timely fashion by MPRDC (Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation). Subsequently, the termination of a poorly performing contractor and procurement of a new contractor for completing the balance of works, and the addition of three new subprojects in 2009 - 2010 further affected the implementation schedule.

Performance of the contractors. During implementation, significant delays in mobilization and completion of contracts were caused by weak capacity and poor performance of some contractors. For future projects, the criteria for qualification of contractors 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 contractors is discouraged.
