process is expected to end in Quarter 12. For the Volta Region, Lot VR1 was re-advertised. Delays
occurred with the award of Contract for VR2. Lot VR3 received MCC and MiDA Board approvals. In
spite of the delays to VR roads (Lot 3), it is expected that the successful Bidders will put in extra work
during good weather to gain time.
ACTIVITY 3: FERRY SERVICES
There were slight slippages in Timelines for the Ferry Project Activity. Procurement for all components
commenced in Quarter 11 as planned. However, prospective Bidders did not fully meet requirements in the
Bidding Documents. Therefore, MiDA/CKP acted on the advice by the Bid Evaluation Panel to seek
clarification on Proposals submitted by the recommended Bidder for Lot FS1 prior to Negotiations, and the
need to re-bid for Lot FS2. The Procurement process will continue in Quarter 12.
PROJECT 3: RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
ACTIVITY 1: PROCUREMENT CAPACITY ACTIVITY
Late presentation of major deliverable by Crown Agents delayed the holding of the Stakeholders
Conference. Submission of the Draft Final versions of the Curricula and Modules were consequently
delayed. The inclusion of major Stakeholders like the National Accreditation Board, the National Council
for Tertiary Education, the National Board for Professional and Technician Examinations in the
Stakeholders Conference is expected to expedite implementation processes.
ACTIVITY 2: COMMUNITY SERVICES ACTIVITY
Delays in signing IDIQ Contracts
The absence of standardized Templates for the Evaluation Process in the selection of IDIQ
Contractors resulted in several reviews of the Evaluation Panel Reports culminating in the delay of
receiving no objection from MCC. The envisaged mitigation measure is to standardize Templates to help
expedite the process in future Evaluations.
Delays in completing Phase Flood-Affected Schools
Cash flow problems and inaccessibility to Project Sites, especially in the Karaga District, affected the
completion of Civil Works on schedule. Poor delivery and lack of commitment to Project Implementation
on the part of one Contractor, Messrs Rabumat Construction Limited, has led to the termination of his
Contract. Recommendation has been made to select one of the hard working Contractors for the re-award
of the terminated Contract in order to fast track the process of completion.
Delays in Rural Electrification Projects
There was no significant progress in the selection of the Agri-Business Centers (ABCs). The delay has
caused a slippage in finalizing the Scope of Works for Rural Electrification Projects and in the signing of
an IEA with the Ministry of Energy. This is to be mitigated through liaison with the Agric
Commercialization Department to expedite action on the selection of Sites for the Centers.
Operationalization of IEAs
Delay in the startup of the Phase II Projects affected various Sector Ministries in the operationalization of
the IEAs. To make the IEAs operational, the CS Team is fast tracking most of its planned activities to
enable all the Entities come on board.
