Decisions needed
- 1
Pay subcontractors directly at the wastewater treatment plant
The PMO recommends paying directly out of certificate 22 and deducting it from the main contractor’s dues.
- 2
Refer the Government Offices Complex claims to arbitration
Legal recommends referral, with an independent engineer assessing the extension request in parallel.
- 3
Approve the updated recovery plan for the Unified Digital Services Platform
The Steering Committee recommends conditional approval with a monthly progress review.
- 4
Release SAR 22M of infrastructure reserve to speed up land acquisition
Infrastructure recommends two tranches tied to site handovers.
