24 Jan 2011 - Johnston, Dan - the Contractor, Faizi Masroor Construction Company (FMCC) met with PRT Engineer on 18 Jan 2011. DIAG (Moi program: Disarmament of Illegally Armed Groups) is requesting that FMCC security personnel submit their weapons. CF is coordinating with DIAG to allow FMCC to finish construction before doing so. They will reconvene in spring with projected completion in May or early June. Also, FMCC claims they will not be able to pave the westernmost 2.7km of roadway past the village of Dehayat due to the security situation. Additional assets are planned for this area next spring. FMCC will be reapproached when security is improved. If they still cannot perform the work past Dehayat, the contract will be modified prior to final payment and closeout.

 Apr 7 2010 FMCC resubmitted their work plan which is on track again after a few delays. The villagers removed all of their benchmarks during the winter months so they had to reset those. They completed this activity on 30MAR and began actual construction work on 31MAR with widening, cutting, and filling. They initiated work by filling the washout on RTE BOXTER that I told them was their #1 priority. That is now complete. All of their work is beginning from the Nerkh end of the road rather than HWY1. They have also submitted their initial soil tests to us for review. From now on they will provide weekly reports that include pictures with grids. May 14 2010 Contractor emailed 25% pogress report.
