Subject: Re:- Losses incurred by suspension


1. Ref :- RWEP-EEP-A-20171211-720

Dear sir,

We have received your letter ref 1) with a subject losses incurred by suspension, we
herby reply as follows,

In your letter stated that “due to the employer failed to release contract
payments to the contractor as per the contract and failed to to fulfil relevant
contract liabilities to provide power back feeding to site”

Our reply is that:

As we have stated our stand in our different correspondences, the EPC contractor is
not ready for the performance test of the plant as stated in the Particular condition of
contract 7.4 Testing, therefore the EPC Contractor is solely responsible for the
cause of the delay and losses incurred by ref 1).

In addition to the above,In your letter ref 1) stated that you are not able to maintain
some equipment due to missing 132KV/ power back feeding. As stated in our
previous correspondences and NCN’s the 10KV switchgear is not ready for
operation. As stated all open NCN’s must be closed and a complete test must be
performed before any 10KV voltage can be applied to the switchgear, therefore the
situation is the same today as it was a months before.
