Decisions needed
- 1
Pay subcontractors directly on the Al-Khobar branch rehabilitation & extension
The PMO recommends paying directly out of certificate 22 and deducting it from the main contractor’s dues.
- 2
Refer the SCA Academy campus contractor’s claims to arbitration
Legal recommends referral, with an independent engineer assessing the extension request in parallel.
- 3
Approve the updated corrective plan for Muqawil Release 4
The Steering Committee recommends conditional approval with a monthly progress review.
- 4
Release SAR 22M of the HQ & regional centres portfolio reserve to speed up the HQ land handover
Facilities & Premises recommends two tranches tied to site handovers.
