Also, the specific objectives, he said, include “to examine scope of work assigned to the contractors by RAMP-2 and the extent of compliance with design and specifications; assess the adequacy or otherwise of the programme of work submitted by the contractors towards completing the assigned works before the RAMP-2 project closing date of October 30 and thus determine the extent of completion of the various contracts by the contractors; assess and evaluate the competencies of the various contractors with regard to their capabilities in carrying out the contracts awarded to them by RAMP-2, in terms of their mobilisation of machines, equipment and personnel needed to effectively complete the jobs on schedule.
