Construction quality  The Contractor has done his own quality control in compliance with the approved Quality Control Plan.  The Contractor has sufficiently arranged his own engineers for quality management during the construction and given technical guidance on the trial construction prior to any mass construction.  The Contractor has arranged the site laboratory in collaboration with the external laboratory to check and test materials and work structures timely.  The Contractor fulfills his responsibilities of Works quality, assuring that all materials and Works items are correctly incorporated into the Works and built in accordance with the Design and Specification. 3. Difficulties of the Package  The previous lack of finance has since been solved with the payment of the Additional Advance Payment of 79 billion, and we therefore expect more improvement than has been demonsstrated.  However the Tet holiday has resulted in a slow start-up especially with the VNC Contractor for Base Course.  Lack of initiative to now improve progress with extra shifts with more work fronts and with replacement of Subcontractors eg. the subcontractor to replace Thai Duong.  VOs and IPCs have not been solved thoroughly and quickly enough.

However, due to payment in advance of the base and steel materials, percentage of the packgage’s progress exceeds the set plan. - 6.3 Key Issues and Risks to Progress Embankment section: - Lack of equipment for embankment construction (roller) in order to make catch-up of the slippage in Base and also Subgrade. 6.4 Contractor’s Resources Assessed Against Planned Work & Equipment Productivity - Lack of equipment for the construction of embankment. Monthly Progress Report No.48, February 2014 17 Package EX2 Hanoi- HaiPhong Expressway Project - The Contractor should arrange work fronts for the construction of subgrade to ensure that the progress shall not be delayed. 6.5 Contractor’s Plan for Next Month Assessed Against Conformance with the Construction Schedule, Revision 05 The Contractor’s plan for next month has been reviewed and the Contractor is required to revise and adjust in compliance with the Construction Schedule , rev.5 6.6 Assessments of Obstructions, Utilities, Delays and Compensation Issues - No issue - 6.7 Assessment of Contractor’s Design Issues - No issue 6.8 Assessment of Contractor’s Quality Issues and Quality Improvement Measures Adopted to Mitigate - All NCR issues are being duly addressed. 6.9 Health, Safety and Environmental Issues. Assessment of Contractor’s Performance. - - - 6.10 - The workers and the engineers of the Contractor working at height have not yet fully and strictly complied with wearing protective hat, safety belts and protective nets and this situation worries the Engineer in terms of labor safety and environmental hygiene even though these matters have been repeatedly reminded to Namkwang by the Engieer and even the Employer. The Contractor should enhance traffic assurance at the intersections with provincial roads and residential roads (to advoid such the accident happened on 25 Marr 2014 at the intersection of B38 and PR206). A second health and safety report has just been carried out by the H.O Specialist Mr.Walter and very critical of the Contractor who has not instigated improvements in many health and safety issues. A meeting will soon be programmed to focus on improvements. Assessment of Contractor’s Financial Issues. The Contractor should expedite the process of acceptance documentation for IPC since the completed quantity is significantly more than the paid quantity, which negatively affects the Contractor’s financial status. The VOs has been slowly processed and handled by the Contractor, which affects the disbursement process. Up to now, VO.01, VO.02, VO.03 and VO.09 have been approved by the Employer. The Engineer already issued a letter to respond to the Contractor but the completed documents of VO.04 which is the largest value has not been done to submit to the Engineer for checking. 7.
