3. Scope of Work
Khonaini International Company (KIC) requested Trevi to provide fill compaction works at project location.
As per the provided information, the fill compaction volume is around 1,500,000 m3.
Based on Trevi analysis on provided drawing (ref. 552-S-TA-167414-001-A) it can be noted:
1. Total project plot area is about 540,000 m2,
2. Total fill area is 444,000 m2,
3. Total fill area considering a maximum fill thickness per layer of 4m is around 646,000 m2

According to the data provided to us, the following acceptance criteria is proposed after the soil improve-
ment works:
• Compaction of suitable material shall be carried out to achieve up to 85% Relative Density per-
formance, and to be verified by CPT (calculated as per Section 7.5 of this proposal).
The selection and pre-design of the suitable soil improvement technique for each project depends on many
factors like soil type, depth of improvement, site conditions, foundation types and loads.

RDC & RIC techniques are a Dynamic Compaction method for the light compaction of the embankment
and/or shallow treatment up to 3-4m depth.
RDC consists in a heavy hydraulic excavator base (90 Tons) with a strengthened arm to which a compac-
tion hammer is attached. A weight within the hammer (9 to 16 tons) generates compression by the re-
peated drop onto a compaction foot (1.5 to 2.6 m diameter) that remains in contact with the ground. This
compaction energy brings the soil particles into a more densely packed structure
The use of Rapid Dynamic Compaction (RDC) technique is fast-growing in the Middle East due to sub-
stantial time and cost saving benefits especially in large scale projects. Rapid Dynamic Compaction (RDC)
technique has been recently developed to offer viable and cost-effective alternatives for fill compaction
applications. Many meters of fill can be compacted in one lift/stage using this method, instead of compac-
tion by several lifts of thin layers, as per conventional method.

The compaction of the sub-soil is initiated by the energy generated by the impact of the weight upon the
foot, and by the movement of the foot into the ground pushing the material into a denser structure. Fur-
thermore, the dense compaction pattern with overlapping influence zones guarantees homogeneous com-
paction.

We have anticipated the following time schedule required for the execution of Soil improvement works
while working in double shifts of 10 hour per shift operation and 6 days per week.
The Main Contractor shall ensure the access to the job site of our equipment, personnel and materials in
order to always guarantee the smoothness of all the activities. To encompass the requested schedule, we
recall that no discontinuity to the works shall be included within the contract period for Public Holidays
and or Religious Celebrations.
We assumed that all Soil improvement activities will be executed in uninterrupted manner. In case of
standby of equipment due to the lack of available platform or earthworks (minimum available area ahead
of us of 50,000m2 per rig), a standby rate SAR 1,000 per hour per Soil improvement rig and extension of
time shall be applied accordingly.
Moreover, it must be noted that above durations are given in case of continuous work performed in a
single mobilization.

In relation to the soil improvement works to be performed for the project of this proposal, TREVI ARABIAN SOIL CONTRACTORS
(“Company”) is assuming that mutually agreeable contract terms will be negotiated and, thus, Company clarifies that the following
principles shall be deemed as the basis for the proposal that are expected to be introduced in the contract in a form satisfactory
to both parties.
The Proposal is excluded of the following risks which will be borne by the client: (i) any use or occupation by the client or the final
customer of any part of the Works; (ii) any acts or omissions of the client and/or the final customer, their agents, employees or
contractors; (iii) import restrictions, confiscation, nationalization, embargo, requisition by or under the order of any government
authority, acts of war, hostilities or warlike operations, riot, civil commotion, sabotage and terrorist acts, occurring or existing in
the country of the site; (iv) any act or failure to act by any local government authority; (v) any other occurrences not adequately
covered under the CAR insurance of the Project released by the client.
In such events, the client shall pay to Company such sums as payable pursuant to the contract in respect of the Works executed,
notwithstanding that the same are lost, destroyed or damaged and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and
against any additional costs, damages, charges or expenses arising in consequence of or in connection with of the execution of
the Works which are attributable to or the result of or the client’ risks (including any additional cost arising from the suspension
of the Works) and shall grant the relevant extension of time for completion of the Works.
A1.2. Bonding
Financial costs included in the Proposal for any bonding requirement, have been assumed on the principle that the partial release
of such bonds shall be at substantial completion of Company’s Works under the subcontract and the final release at expiration of
Force Majeure means any event or occurrence which (i) is beyond the reasonable control (directly or indirectly) of the affected
party, (ii) is unforeseeable by a person acting in accordance with the applicable standards or, if foreseeable, could not have been
prevented or avoided by the affected party, and (iii) has the effect of making it impossible or unlawful for the affected party to
perform its obligations. Force Majeure shall include, without limitation, war (whether declared or not), military invasion, insurrec-
tion, nation-wide or region-wide strikes or unforeseeable shortages in the availability of personnel, equipment or materials not
caused by the Company, flood, hurricane, earthquake, natural disaster and the like. Force Majeure shall not include bankruptcy,
changes in market conditions or changes in the financial conditions of the Parties, lack of available labor and strikes attributable
Where a Force Majeure event occurs, the Company shall be entitled to a variation with respect to an extension of the time for

completion of the Works affected and to the reasonable costs incurred for (i) taking all directed actions for the care, custody,
security, storage and preservation of the Works as agreed by the parties and (ii) taking all directed actions to mitigate or remove
the effects of Force Majeure (including reconstruction works) as agreed by the parties. Standby rate or no additional cost will be
applicable for the idling of equipment and workforce resulting out of work stoppages due to Force Majeure.
Client shall acknowledge that the Proposal is based on the documentation and data provided by the client in the tender phase and
that, notwithstanding any site visit, Company has been unable to perform detailed and deepened soil investigations due to una-
vailability of the site and costs which could affect a competitive price for the Company.
Therefore, Company shall be entitled to an equitable compensation of additional costs and time schedule in the event, during the
performance of the Work, it suffers delays or incur additional costs as a result of any actual condition which is substantially
different (i) with the data and information supplied by client, or (ii) could have not been reasonably foreseen by an experienced
The Proposal is based on the principle that Company is not assuming any risk related unforeseeable physical conditions. Therefore,
Company will be entitled to a variation of the subcontract in the event that, during the performance of the works, it will suffer
delays or incur additional costs as a result of any physical conditions or obstructions at site, including but not limited to subsurface
and hydrological conditions, manmade obstructions, hazardous materials, radio-active material, polluted soil, surplus war materi-
als, valuables, underground cables and pipes and other manmade items, that are at variance (i) with the data and information
supplied by client, or (ii) could not have been reasonably foreseen by the Company.
Company shall be entitled, through a substantiated claim, to an extension of the work schedule if and to the extent that the
completion of the Works is or will be delayed by any of the following causes: (a) a Variation; (b) adverse climatic conditions; (c)
any delay, standby, impediment or prevention caused by or attributable to the final customer, client, their personnel, or other
subcontractors; (d) suspension of the Works instructed by the client (e) any other cause of delay not attributable to a default of
When the progress of Work is delayed, obstructed, interrupted or hindered for one of the events above, Company will be com-
pensated for the additional costs incurred as a result thereof, until Work is resumed at normal production rates. A standby rate
will be negotiated for idle times during operations. Standby rate or no additional cost will be applicable for the idling of equipment
The Proposal assumes that the subcontract will include a mutual waiver providing that neither party shall be responsible for loss
of revenues, loss of profit, loss of production or financing costs and for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages
or losses whatsoever to the extent permitted by the applicable law and except for, in any case, damages or losses caused by fraud,

A1.7. Liability
It has been assumed in the Proposal price that the total liability toward the client under or in connection with the subcontract
shall not exceed, in the aggregate, a sum equal 25% of the subcontract price, to the extent permitted by the applicable law and
except for, in any case, damages or losses caused by fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the defaulting party.
Company shall not have any responsibility for activities, not expressly included in the scope of Work, which may be contingent,
inferred and/or necessary to fully complete any part of the Work unless such activities are required by applicable laws or standard
Except for the expressed assumption in the Proposal of design obligations for all or part of the Works, the Company shall not
assume any responsibility in relation to fitness for purpose or merchantability of any part of the Works.
A1.9. Back-to-Back
Should client require the Company to comply and be bound to the client obligations for the entire project, Company shall not be
responsible except for as applicable in relation to the specific scope of Works to be performed and/or expressly provided in the
subcontract documents.
A1.10. Termination
