What did we agree with Al Wakrah about delay damages?
إ
Capped at 10% of the contract value, charged weekly, and the clock only starts once they have signed off the revised programme.
"Liquidated damages shall accrue at 0.5% of the Contract Price per completed week of delay, subject to an aggregate cap of 10%, calculated from the date of the Employer's approval of the revised programme."
Two things worth knowing. Ahmed flagged in July that the same clause was negotiated down from 15% on the Lusail job, so 10% is your precedent now. And the programme approval condition is the part that usually gets missed, because it moves the start date.
Subcontract, Al Wakrah cl. 14.3Commercial review 14 JulAhmed Al-Mansouri note
Can we use the same cap on the Msheireb tender?
إ
Your last four subcontracts all landed between 10% and 12%, so 10% is defensible. I cannot tell you whether it is the right commercial call on this one, because that depends on the programme risk and I have no cost data for Msheireb yet.
This is the kind of question Ahmed should answer with you rather than one I should answer alone.

the audit itself makes you name and cost a process. Worth saying out loud to a board.
