VAT). How the Joint venture came about was unexplained to us. 3. Completion time Although the project completion period (45 days) was mentioned to contribute to single source and above limit procurement, the same was extended for 45 days from 29/5/08 to 18/7/08 and latter extended for further 43 days to 25/9/08 hence a 4. Status of the project and Value for Money total of 133 days. The site visit made on 9/10/2008 saw the contractor at site yet to finish the work which implies that the contractor was working without properly approved extended contract time. Further, value for money and the relationship between the nature of the project and the contract price of about 4.17 billion could not be measured as it needs special investigation. I am of opinion that the Authority was not given an opportunity to get better price and competency for the said project through competitive tendering. In order to be satisfied that the project costs represent the best price that could have been secured by the Authority, the management is urged to evaluate the project and or commission an investigative technical audit to ascertain and report on the fair value of the project. Further, failure by the contractor to execute the project within agreed time frame, the contract should be evaluated to establish liquidated damages suffered by the Authority and the same should be claimed from the contractor. ___________________________________________________________ Office of the Controller and Auditor General PA&oBs 2007/08 135
